these are some changes to Brigitte that i think will make her more balanced as a support hero.
1 - remove her stun
2- nerf her shield to 400hp
3- give her a passive that can heal without the need of making damage.
4- with damage the passive healing increases.
this is the reason why i said remove her stun in my other post.
Brigitte really doesn’t need a stun with this stun she can 1v1 any tank and make it look really bad and combo with rein shatter or dva bomb or any other ultimate. she should be a support hero not a hero that can 1v1 all tanks and other heros this is really really bad for the game. her stun is even better than mccrees stun it is easier to hit with it cant be deflected its 6 second cooldown it goes through shields … I mean cumon blizzard.

This would basically make her into a slow version of Lucio…
I am against your suggestion and think Gitte should stay the way she is untill people have gotten accustomed to her better and people have tried multiple ways of using/countering her, as well as seeing more professional play on her before suggesting anything at all.

oh really … but giving her a shield doesn’t make her the smaller version of rein too ?
the fact the pros who now after having the chance to play with and against her are destroying her, and they are not picking her at all should say enough, “SHES FINE AS SHE IS!” stop crying that you cant solo wipe enemy teams with genji or tracer anymore… the dive meta is no longer king of the heap… and this is the way it should be, with many different comps being viable… hell ive been playing more bastion now than in the 9 previous seasons… isnt that fantastic? that a hero that was deemed trash tier is now able to be used efficiently without any buffs at all?
No, because Rein protects a team, Brigitte barely shields herself… Whether you like it or not, new heroes will be thrown into the mix and new heroes will bring new things (or rehash old things) that will shake up things.
If that’s upsetting to you where you reach a point that you have to post about it on forums, then maybe Overwatch or your current character roster aren’t your cup of tea.
To be quite fair, she’s quite like Mei, being able to solo someone easily, protecting others with shields, the ability to stun and self-heal. Difference being that Mei does more damage, has more range and mobility… as well as having an ult that can wipe an entire team… Oh, and her stun isn’t an ability with a cooldown for which you have to have your shield intact, but just her leftmouse… Hmmmm…
but nobody complains about Mei, because;
- Mei’s not new
- Mei’s not Brigitte
- People learned to deal with Mei
Just let the current meta settle and start trying to adapt instead of trying the same thing that worked before vs. other characters. Before long people will figure it out, the dust will settle and people will get a new hero to cry about

Haha,
Creative indeed, NOT.
She won’t even kill tracer with these proposed changes. She’ll just become a sitting ![:duck:](https://d1kzxbyyijk9k6.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/duck.png?v=6" ":duck:")

would she be to Lucioish if she had a little AOE healing by dealing damage?
what y’all think.
as long as tracer and genji remain totally broken, brig is fine.
She is broken, yeah, but needed. So stop asking for nerfs.
Heros aren’t necessarily broken but the goals of Blizzard’s game designers might be different than player’s assumptions.
Having hard counters and promoting counter-picking might be a better fit for a game with hero switching than trying to balance out DPS heros for 1v1 fights. This design principle allows the addition of interesting but situational heros too. Not OTP friendly (as many would like it to be) but in-game hero switching never suggested a strong support for OTPs.
This might have been a reason why they added Brig instead of trying to nerf genji and tracer to be “equal” with other heros.
One thing that might be a bit annoying is that some heros seem to have a lot of hard/soft counters while some others have to be countered with compositions or have only 1 hard counter. This can change a lot in the future by adding more heros and reworking existing ones.
A dps class is created for doing damage.
When someone does it easier and better than others you have an unbalance.
Tracer and genji do not sacrifice nothing for their incredibily survivability and utility.
NOTHING.
Same with widow/DM and hanzo in the current version of the game, what do they sacrifice for their damage ? Nothing, they just do what they do, without any downsides.
Brigitte exists because blizzard don’t want to nerf 2 of the most picked heroes or the users would cry and whine. So, since i know how broken genji is, i want brig in this game, even if she deletes pretty much every class, even the ones that had already hard time performing well before.
And i find funny how ppl whine about brig, when there are hanzo widow and DM that melt everything within seconds 2 of them from the other side of themap while beeing completely immune to 90% of the classes.
Without Brig we would still be playing dive 24/7. Remove her stun and Genji/Tracer wont respect her and simply proceed to murder your team.

Precisely.
But apparently people want that, because as i said tracer and genji are the most popular heroes in the game.
