Yeah but to be fair when you’re not getting dove you can look for opportunities to hold off angles with one of your own DPS. You pocket a DPS and punish anyone who tries to push them off. Or just hold those angles by yourself.
Not as much anymore after s9 health changes which severely nerfed brigs burst DMG on Squishies but she can still win a lot of 1v1s if they try to get there. Looking for those opportunities to take map control as brig is part of the fun of playing her, because she can easily heal while dueling people whereas other support really can’t.
The fact that she’s bad against long range and phara etc. is just a byproduct of being a melee character it is what it is there’s not really a good way to fix that besides giving her a gun
