Too add to this the only times I have ever really won against any of these three heroes was when they were either alone and jumping in while I had my team or if they just were playing badly as them. Like a Pharah that was too close to the ground, a Rhien that just hides behind his shield, or a Junk that misses his nades and doesn’t try to create any space away from me.

Hey, I’m a DPS one trick and I resemble this remark! Brig is fine, btw. Let the meta settle, OP. Or play Pharah for the only thing she is good for… getting Brig to swap to another hitscan.

I will say I don’t know if Brig is terrible outside of GOATs or not though, I hardly ever play that meta, in or out of comp.
She doesn’t have a defensive ult, so she can’t be run as an off-support, and she doesn’t have enough damage after the combo nerf to be run as a DPS. She’s frankly underpowered outside of GOATs regardless of how annoying she is.

Brig is not overpowered. Overpowered means you win or lose based on having a brig. If brig is mandatory in every game shes overpowered.
Her pickrate this week it’s between 1-2% across all ranks with a normal winrate.(around 52%)
Where is this opiness that you’re speaking of?
Edit: Another spam thread made by an ALT account… Can we please set a minimum of level required in order to post in the forum? It’s getting annoying

a winston bubble would cover brigitte’s entire hitbox. not just her entire frontside.
no. she speeds up herself and only herself. an aura affects everyone.

Hard Pill to swallow:
If after all the nerfs you still have issues with Brig, its on you mate.

Are you serious? She is the least picked support outside GM where she is used in goats.

No she does not. Winston’s bubble is very large and if you don’t break it, you cannot have any impact on what’s going on inside. Brig’s shield doesn’t work like that. You totally can damage her or anti her on her side since the shield is really small. Also Winston’s bubble has 600hp
What’s your point ? A support can’t have a shield ?
True and that’s about the only good thing in her kit that is balanced.
6s is not a short CD. Considering it’s her only way to really heal AND use her utility AND it’s single target, 6s doesn’t seem that bad.
What ? If you’re talking about the size of her passive it’s twice as big as Lucio’s auras (the same size as he had before his rework).
With her weapon that only has a 6m reach. I think it’s important in that discussion considering we’re talking about a passive that is really only active during a fight and that only does 16hps.
Brig’s stun lasts for 1s. Flashbang is between .8 ans .9s. HUGE difference.
But the reward is way higher though. McCree has FTH which can OS any 250hp character and if he Flash FTH Roll FTH he can also deal quite a lot of Damage even on Tanks.
Brig has a 35-damage-whip. Yayyy
She does not. she has 250. I don’t see how the hp of the shield can count as her hp because if it does, Rein has 2500hp, Winston has 1100hp, Orisa has 1300hp, Zarya has 600hp and Sym has infinite health during her ult (technically she only has 5200hp).
So yeah why should Brig’s shield count as health but not the other shields ? And you also seem to forget that she can’t deal damage when she has her shield up AND she can still take damage from her side or just splash damage.
And that is bad because ? Shouldn’t an ability be consistant and not full of bugs?
Also she is insanely vulnerable during the animation so there’s that.
That has almost no defensive Value meaning that she cannot be run as an off-heal. Also, I’m not saying that her ult is weak, but it’s far from overpowered or whatever. It’s pretty easy to burst through it you just have to focus the same hero.
Sooooo broken that she’s only viable in Goats - where she has started to be replaced btw - and is utterly bad in any 2support comp ?
I can assure you there are many ults that have a bigger impact than her’s and charge way faster.
Also even if it’s good to engage, if you REALLY struggle against that ult, just play defensive for 10s and go after that.
I mean, come on we’re talking about a big flashy red thing. HOW is this hard to focus. It legit has the same hitbox as Zarya (and it’s kind of bigger since it’s a square and not a human shape)
Lucio has AIU to boost it to 48hps but most importantly Lucio has speed boost.
It’s not because we have a tank meta that the damage output is not high. Considering how most tanks have a higher dps than most dps, your point is completely unvalid.
How can you say that when you’re mostly playing Junkrat, Pharah and Hanzo xD ?
I’m not trashing those heroes but really “no skill” coming from a Junkrat/Hanzo player is a bit ironic.

She’s not overpowered she’s actually in a pretty pathetic state right now.

First off a 360 bubble is insanely different than a tiny shield you can shoot around with aoe or from angles if she isn’t directly facing you. Also bubble is full health once the cooldown is reset, shield retains it’s damaged HP forever until you let it regenerate and when it breaks it takes a waiting period before it comes back up again.
She has a shield because she has zero mobility or range in a game where 95% of heroes are ranged. Melee-based heroes will ALWAYS have shields (or in doom’s case armor for landing attacks + super mobility)
Where is the message from god carved in stone that says all supports for all time are never allowed to have shields
6 seconds is not short. And uh oh spagettios it’s a healer that can burst heal!! It’s her only healing skill that doesn’t require an enemy to activate, it’s single target only, and it travels so slow that your target often dies before it reaches them
Inspire passive literally does not increase your speed. Maybe you meant Lucio’s healing aura and it was a typo…well in that case Lucio’s is far superior because it’s always active if he wants and doesn’t need to hit an enemy up close to activate it, not to mention he can amp it up for way more healing than Brig’s 16 health per sec
Because her’s is single target unlike flashbang, her’s does five times less damage than his stun, and she has five times less follow up damage compared to McCree, not to mention her only followup damage (whipshot) knocks the target OUT of her attacking range and INTO SAFETY from her. Finally her stun is mostly used as a crappy poor man’s mobility to gain 2 extra feet since she has no mobility
Stop being disingenuous. Brigitte literally has 250 health. Just like Symmetra. Just like Doomfist. See a trend? They’re all short ranged heroes. If they release another melee hero in the future I can guarantee you they will have a shield of some type and/or super mobility, and 250hp
So was Lucios, Dva’s, Pharah’s, Winston’s jump landing, and all other boops in the game. It was a universal change across the board. She gets booped further just like everyone else does
Congrats you figured out what an offensive ult is. Defensive ults are FAR more superior by the way, the ones that are ‘oh crap’ emergency buttons to save your team like Lucio’s or Zens
Mercy’s and Moira’s and Baptiste’s does also. It’s almost like it’s by-design offensive ults are charging faster than defensive ones. hmmm
The only utility she has is…nope she has none. Utility is things like anti-nade, teleporters, damage boost, etc. Boop and stun are CC
I can’t believe people are still afraid of a hero you need to get into hugging range to be hit with 35 damage attacks, and a combo that does 110 damage and EJECTS you out of her attacking range at the end and into safety.
Someone whose armor was made WEAKER and no longer PERMAMENT.
Someone who has no mobility outside of sacrificing their stun to gain 2 extra feet of distance.
Someone who has no healing on demand whenever they want to.
Someone who has to activate a poor-man’s lucio aura by attacking, and even then it’s not permanent but disappears
Dear community: Keep on trying to find reasons to hate Brigitte. We will keep dismantling and decimating them with logic. You’re just haters who feed on drama like energy vampires. We see right through you

You need to learn to space and use paragraphs. I don’t even want to read all that clutter of texts. But Brigitte isn’t overpowered anymore, in fact she’s pretty weak and performs her role poorly now. That’s not to say she’s useless, but there are much more favored picks over her now.
I think she needs an entire rework at this point, because there’s no saving her kit.

She still needs to be toned down and I agree with you. Honestly making her barrier have a max hp of 250 and removing her ability to heal while swinging her fail and only providing armor to her team mates would be a good move.
Basically turning her into a bruiser than a healer.
Let her be the dps she wants, then let’s see what state she reaches.
Get better at the game
Brigitte is in an ok place at the moment, I believe she is balanced
no it doesn’t. others have way higher charge rates esp in GOATs.
flashbang combos gets more kills than bash combos tho. brig needs help to even get OK value with it.
that requires damage to activate and lucio can amp it up.
you seem to underestimate how much damage tanks do esp rein and the new winston who can go thru barriers
no he isnt. he clearly is giving a counter argument. if you want to compare abilities then compare them completely not in pieces. everything looks OP in pieces. reaper life steal for example seems amazing but when you factor in he is short range most heroes and even OK players can rek him. winston also has mobility which brig severely lacks. she cant shield dance. he can. he can attack while it’s up she cant. stop pretending it’s strawman when youre just salty there is arguments against yours
both super weak heroes compared to the rest of the cast. not the heroes fault you have trouble against them. theyre easy as heck to kill esp in teamfights. only place theyre good is low ranks. only reason brig can be played is in goats w/o it she’s useless.
These types of threads are really getting boring.
We know you’re bad at the game, you can stop complaining about a single hero now.
