Crowd control and brigitte

Orisa halt
Doomfist in general
Brigitte…
I know you can’t just change the kits but can you please never add any cc abilities ever again. I don’t think anyone likes not being able to move and being instakilled with no skill where you had no control.
Brigitte is the free boost like mercy was except mercy isn’t so hard to kill.
Games are more fun the more you can control your character but you keep adding characters that reduce my control and reduce my fun.
My only request is to never never never never never never ever add any cc based hero in the game, just don’t. Maybe a cc like mccree’s would be fine because his flashbang likes going over shoulders but it’s a pity that brigitte can’t trip when she shield bashes you. Anyway please when you make a new hero just take a moment and think of an interesting ability to add instead of just putting in cc as filler.

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

If you take stun away from Brigitte, then she has no way at all to protect herself at close range. Yes she has a shield, but that’s for protecting against long range attacks, and the stun for short range. She CANNOT 1v1 any tank so you can drop that mentality right away, and so what if she combos the stun with other hero abilities, teamplay is the whole point of the game.

The hero will never be removed, and it’s highly unlikely the stun will be either.

Take away her stun and she won’t kill the very hero she was designed to counter…
Tracer. She’ll also not going to be effective as a dive counter…

lmao, the sturdiest support cant protect herself OH NO

Protecting herself is not her primary function… It’s denying flanks / dives and peeling for her supports. She needs her stun to do all of those.

Nice, you’re back again so soon bringing yet nothing to the discussion. Guess going around threads trolling is the only thing you are good at eh.

Brigitte would not be so sturdy if she didn’t have stun. Could easily run circles around her, breaking down the shield or catching her with rear shots and she’d be able to do nothing, so much for “sturdiest support”.

You don’t even know how Ana works and you think I am a troll? How does it feel being totally incompetent?

her 600hp shield is enough to protect her … she is support she is not supposed to shut down enemies… if she protect her self with her shield then she will definitely have the time for her dva or other support to protect her right ? and her shield does protect her from close range as well … and for who said she cant 1v1 any tank … lol probably the brigittes u play against are bronze ranked

Removing the stun would cause the shield bash to be useless. Replacing it with knockback wouldn’t work because Brigitte already has an ability that does knockback.

I don’t believe that the stun has to be removed but, out of curiosity, let’s say her shield bash will be redesigned and the stun will be removed. How would the redesign look like?

Pointing out a problem is easy. But solving a problem is the interesting part.

it can like a maneuver thing like dash to the side or back to run away probably ? what i mean in the beginning is to remove the bash completely but this could work too

You guys do know these ludicrous remove stun posts, are simply amusing, and it won’t begin a serious discussion about. The stuns are at the heart of what Brig’s all about.

Brig was created to help curb the Dive / Flank meta. The stun is at the heart of that.
If you don’t have the stun, then you might as well delete the hero from the roster.

I am well aware that those “remove x” posts hardly begin any serious discussions and I am not denying that the stun is important for Brigitte’s playstyle.

The only thing I find amusing is that most complainers never suggest a solution. So I try to let them think about one.

I already explained why (in my opinion) removing the stun wouldn’t work, which is why I asked for a redesign idea in the first place.

it can like a maneuver thing like dash to the side or back to run away probably ?

A movement ability could work not for that reason. Brigitte is a hero who wants to help her teammates and stands in front of combat to help. A “runaway” ability wouldn’t suit her.

If we stick to a dash then only forward would work. Now it has to “feel” right when you hit someone with that dash.

She can’t 1v1 any tank. When you think you see it happen, that tank is getting damaged by atleast one other source, but you’re busy focusing on Brigitte.

I’m honestly starting to believe that all these Brig-bashing posts are made by people not old enough to have grown out of getting tunnel vision. Which happens at 15 or so, iirc.

uhh, she can 1v1 dva no problem, and winston… she also can keep all the other tanks away from her without much effort

It’s not just that she can 1v1 a tank, it’s that she can 1v1 literally every character in the game and win except Pharah.

Except Pharah…

and Widow… and Junkrat… and Mei… in some cases McCree… and Reinhardt… Oh, and Ana… then there’s Bastion… and (despite what Caelum said) D.va… and Roadhog! OH, and Soldier, let’s not forget about Soldier…

But yeah, besides that, she can 1v1 anybody else!

Oh, and Hanzo, everybody but all the above and Hanzo…

Especially if you run in alone versus her and start facetanking her. Nothing beats a Gitte gud than an old-fashioned bout of fistfighting versus a Genji or a Mercy in an enclosed space to prove a point :+1:

  • Sarcasm ends here

Do you have any idea how ridiculously defeatist and uninspired you all sound. You’re all crying seas of salty tears over a character whose hard counter is going up a flight of stairs, keeping a few paces distance and shooting at her from two angles. Like literally… Her hard counter is walking backwards or going up a flight of stairs and you’re all screaming bloody murder as if figuring out how to conquer this insurmountable challenge takes an IQ of over 300 and the reflexes of a cybernetically enhanced supersoldier.

  1. Press S or find high ground
  2. Shoot or have team shoot from other angle
  3. Win
