Well her (Brig) pick rate in the OWL games so far have been fairly below average. I would like to see more of her but it appears it’s not gonna happen.

Everything is fine to me , except canceling my charge or recharging my ultimate , stunt and damage is more than enough why canceling too?
I thought Blizzards whole point to the new character was to create discontent with the players. I wish the creators would have to be punched in the face many times before they decided to release such cancer in the game.
ShinyPants,
I been observing your previous posts… All you do in these forums are spew negativity dude. If your getting tilted by the game, then stop playing it instead of coming here and crying about it. There are lots of people playing it that have grown to enjoy it even if they run into games that tilt them. It’s just how it is.
By you releasing comments for Blizz to go bankrupt, or the game to die, or the game sucking isn’t going to help this community. If you don’t enjoy it, stop playing.
A lot of us here are passionate about this game, and if you want to make constructive discussions then use the forums for it, not purely to sulk without giving reasons beyond the fact, that your a new player or you don’t lack the skills etc…
To Summarize, all I’m saying is give us reason when you have a problem, and then the community will try help you out with whatever they can. We can’t help you if you just keep saying , this game’s dying or the game sucks for a new player etc…

Well he has a point. Many people have left because of Brigitte, she sucks the fun out of the game.
I could use the same argument in the form of tracers… Many supports have left the game because she sucked the fun out of the game for them… It’s a 2 edged sword.

They’ve been in it since the beginning.
Precisely why it’s about time they shuffled things up a bit.
So has Mei, and she has/does all the things Brigitte does in some shape, form or variation thereof except project her heal to the team. Not just that, but Mei does it even better than Brigitte does.
- No cooldown stun on left mouse vs. shield bash that has a cooldown and requires the shield (no shield, no bash)
- Shield she can plop down without sacrificing mobility and/or even use for mobility vs. shield that doesn’t fully cover her sides from splash and cuts speed in half
- Unlimited range and impressive damage on right mouse vs. being beaten if someone climbs up a couple of stairs and laughs at you from outside your 35 damage p/swing mace.
- Invulnerability during your no-prerequisites self heal vs. having to expose yourself to danger to start your 16hp/s heal which is the slowest in the game, I might add
- One ult that freezes everybody caught in it, vs. an ult that gives armor, which is by no means a comparison, but you know…
Yet everybody seems perfectly capable of dealing with Mei and her CC’s but get tilted over Brigitte who you can counter better/easier than Mei?

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.

I’m sorry to say…but trust me, they will add more and more CC into game. You cannot trust Blizzard with this kinda stuff. They’re good with designing hero’s and backstory but with this kinda stuff they’re so disconnected.
But the thing is that with mei you need some kind of leading aim to freeze someone. Not much but some.And also mei takes time to freeze and within that time you can maybe hs her kill her use movement abilities to get away etc.
Now compare that with brigitte, When she goes for the stun you can’t dmg her because of the shield, her stun is instant and you can’t get away from her if you are 150 hp,you literally can’t do anything to stop yourself from dying while with mei a skilled player has a chance. And also take into consideration that with mei ult you can get away with zarya bubbles movement abilities and orisa’s fortify while with brigitte the ult gives you almost permament double hp and brigitte can charge that ult so damn quick. Obviously mei’s ult is better if you use it right but you can’t really compare a dps ult to a support ult. So basically
Stun that has ammo and requires minimal accuracy and people can get away before you stun them:vs: 5 cd Stun that you are untouchable from the front (direction of stun) while using and it is instant and usually ends up in an insta kill.
CC ult that people can easily get away from but when used right it can potentially lead to a team wipe:vs: Ult that no matter how you use it will give to you and to most your teammates +150 health which is armour that takes less damage then normal hp.
No passive:vs: Passive that slowly heals you after you hit someone once (you can keep shield up while you heal)
75 dmg right click that has insane dmg fall-off:vs: 600 hp shield that you can stun with.
A wall:vs: 150 hp instant heal that can overheal up to 75 armour.
Cryofreeze that makes you invincible for 4 seconds and heals you over time:vs: Longest range boop in the game that deals 70 damage which also activates your passive.
She has the highest win rate of any new heroes and she is 100% busted.
She needs a nerf because once again she is like a free boost like mercy once was except mercy would rez her team while brigitte wipes the enemy team.
OK,
Respect your opinions and the fact you took time to formulate them, hats off to you for being a gentleman/lady about it, but I have to disagree regardless.
For one, if you’re 150~200 HP, what are you doing in Gitte’s ballpark? i.e.; If you are a Tracer or a Genji, what are you doing trying to flank or dive if their team has a counter to your dive/flank? I don’t stay on Winston or Widow for too long if an enemy Winston is clearly better than me/hard countering me.
-
Zarya’s bubble and Orisa’s Halt get you out of Gitte’s abilities too.
-
The ult gives only 100HP now
-
Longest range boop? Pharah called, asking for an apology
-
That stun requiring minimal aim can freeze multiple people and still ~ no cooldowns. If you bait a shield bash you can crazy, if you bait a Mei you’ll get an icicle to the face
-
When a new hero so directly counters a so common and well-used (stale, imho) meta like the dive comp, and people keep throwing dive comps at Gitte comps, then yes, the winrate will be skewed for a while. Doesn’t mean she’s OP, it just means that many people have difficulty dealing with the adjustment, in my experience across the gold~diamond spectrum of things.
Agree to disagree here on who either of us think is “OP”, but to get back to the heart of it; if CC’s and sustain tilt people, then why aren’t we rioting about Mei? Or Doomfist?
Both Mei and Doomfist are characters who are hard to play, Brigitte is not.
Doomfist I’ll agree on
Mei, though, is literally holding left click when pointing in the general direction of what needs killing. She can even block escapes entirely with her wall, adding to the easy factor/despair of the target 
Try playing her in competitive, see how it goes for you. And I mean maining her, picking her on every map like currently you do with Brigitte.
I have in Diamond… Well, not maining her, but picking her once or twice obliterating flankers, back in the pre-Gitte era.
Besides, why make an argument based on ifs and buts and prerequisites that leave you open to one person proving you wrong but adding nothing to the conversation as a whole, I thought you’ve learned/caught on by now and I was just letting up on you ![:frowning:](https://d1kzxbyyijk9k6.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=6" ":frowning:")
You played her once or twice in a rank you’ve probably never seen and you have the right of calling her an easy character? Really now?
It’s part of Blizzard’s master plan to improve the efficiency of all players by raising the skill floor. Using skill level as a basis of argument is pointless because the game balances out the dmg / heal / tank outputs accordingly.
Take Brig for instance her dmg compared to the other dmg dealers suck.
Her tankiness compared to the other tanks do suck and so is the case with her heals.
What’s interesting about Brig is she’s a “jack of all traits”, making her mediocre in some of the areas, and she has her strengths and whole lot of gaping weakness that if exploited doesn’t become a problem. Both her CC’s are a core part of her kit, without which she won’t serve the very purpose of her creation.
It does not suck when she is in range. She can obliterate every 200 HP she wishes like she is McCree. Of course she lacks his range but put a squishy in front of her and they are dead.
