I never thought any future hero would suck my fun out of the game so much that I would just stop playing entirely.
But with brigitte somehow that has happened, and I think it is because her existence just takes away a lot of the reward given to players with good aim, and it kind of shoehorns you into playing long range heroes or J-rat.
I never played this game to hold W and LMB, like I was playing some AAA slasher game.
I’m also not making this post to be like “ohhhhhh I’m leaving your game sucks”, but more out of shock because I never thought I would stop playing this game. Since usually win or lose I can binge on OW for hours.
I think it would take a massive rework of brigitte for me to even consider coming back, because engaging into a team that has at minimum 350 hp per hero - sucks, having a support who can CC/knockback/shield and kill you as a squishy without you even being able to fight back because she can shield so quickly - sucks, the fact she has a 600HP barrier just why? why? Why does she need that? if you’re close to her you can’t out play her 1v1 as a squishy and as most tanks and you can’t break her shield before she’s on top of you (save pharah/rat/bastion) it just sucks.
