Remove salty DPS mains who don’t know how to counter from Overwatch

51

Its disgusting that anyone defends Brigette. You defenders are why this game is a broken pile of garbage.

no people like you who are to daft to play anything other then 2 or 3 heroes are the problem…

Typical hanzo main… learn to aim before bashing a hero your damn main can counter in so many friggin ways

This discussion is about Brigitte and her stun ability, not about insulting other players for their playstyle/performance in-game.

This thread might be better closed if people continue to bash out salty statements about other players.

Anyways, the stun might or might not be removed. The best option would be to adapt. So first things first, what exactly is Brigitte’s shield bash?

It’s a melee range ability where she holds her shield up and dashes forward, dealing 50 damage and stunning the enemy. The ability can get through shields, stop Reinhardt’s charge but not Doomfist’s rocket punch. It can’t be deflected or absorbed, too.

If doing it right, combining Brigitte’s abilities can doom squishies like Tracer or baby Dva.

Since we know now what the ability is, we can then find out how to counter it.

Since the shield bash is a forward dash, it is not recommended to attack directly in front of her. It is much better to attack her on high ground, from the sides or back, where she isn’t protected by her shield.

Lastly, the best way to deal with Brigitte generally is to keep a distance from her. Just like Reinhardt, she is a short-range hero and can’t fight against mid- or long range heroes. By breaking her shield, you make her more vulnerable and have a better chance of beating her.

Also, keep track of her ability cooldowns. Without her abilities, she is at a much bigger disadvantage.

As a Tracer (and Mercy) main, she is a counter for me yet by those tips, I am able to combat her much better than before

So she should be good at all the ranges then? With that mentally let’s make Mccree a sniper because he’s not good at long range.
Teamplay is the whole point of the game right? Teammates are precisely the ones that have to cover the teammate’s weaknesses. If Brigitte wasn’t really good at close range, she can just stay with teammates that are. What is Brigitte’s weakness right now? Pharah? Lol

55

The shield is basically a weak cover that can be destroyed. It isn’t designed to protect her just from long range attacks but from any attacks in general. Her whip shot is just a mid-range ability with a cooldown so she is only viable at close range.

Besides, Her shield only protects her on the front and the tiny size allows AOE damage by Pharah, Junkrat, Mcree’s stun, etc.

finaly somebody with a brain

Pharah, Junkrat, D.va, Orisa, Sombra, Hanzo, Bastion, Moira, McCree… The list goes.

Literally all these heroes can deal damage from a distance without having to get anywhere near Brigitte. All Brig can do is hold up that barrier, but it breaks very easily and if there is no one for her to attack nearby, she has no self heal, meaning death, easy.

I main Orisa who is an incredible tank! But any tank gets screwed over as soon as Brigitte shows up!! Orissa, who is a counter to stunning characters in a one on one still gets wrecked
Even when she uses fortify to stop the initial stun, Brigitte can stun again with her 4 second cool down when Orissa has a 10sec cool down on fortify!!
Also while in fortify Orisa takes reduced damage, but Brigitte still heals the full amount when she’s not doing the full damage!!
It’s ridiculous how broken she is. It’s never fun when someone plays dirty like the filth she is!
Nerf please!!

That’s just the most wrongest thought, that “If your team doesn’t have a Briggitte your instantly going to lose”.

Don’t take my word for it, take it from the top players in this game (Calvin).

Look at OWL, teams running Brigitte have been beaten by non-Brig teams. Brig’s no golden bullet.

Brig’s strong at certain things, on certain maps. She is strong against Dive and Flanks.

if your a orisa main, Bridgette doesn’t mess you up much

you should be more worried about hanzo if anything

plus she already has nerfs coming into the game

61

People keep referencing the owl and that seems a bit odd to me seeing as it’s compleatly difrent, in the owl they don’t have hanzo and that’s big, so hanzo brought up zarya and brig brought up rein that’s why it’s the “triple support” meta its only called that because brig is a support but she is played as a dps so in the owl they are not running the Meta because they are missing 2 huge cogs being zarya and hanzo so no as a solo hero she is not op but in the current game she is with the current heros being played
Dps - hanzo/brig
Tank - rein/zarya
Support - mercy/zen

62

It is a fair point that they don’t have Hanzo changes yet. But people still complain about Brigitte, and not Hanzo.

Also out of the top 6 heroes running the meta right now, Brigitte is the least picked, so she’s the weakest point in that comp and most likely to get swapped out. Still endless threads about how she is the problem.

63

She is no reworked mercy and I do feel she is a bad idea all together they mad her a dps first healer second and it should be the other way around

64

Her damage is the same as Lucio and Moira and people don’t complain about those nowhere as much.

65

That’s the issue see she heals aoe like Lucio and does it attacking like moira so she combines those 2 making a new issue , should supports get rewarded for being aggressive? Outside of anas grenade every other healer has to stop healing the team to go on the attack but brig gets to aoe heal by going on the attack

66

That’s a lie. Lucio, Moira and Zenyatta can all attack and heal at the same time.

67

Moira can not, (unless you mix primary fire with orb but if your team needs healing and you throw damage orb that’s a misplay) Lucio on attack normally hops on speed, and you got me with Zen I was wrong there forgot you can have both orbs out at once
Moira you can throw damage ball or heal ball not both at once and you can life drain or heal not both at once

68

People might be annoyed with Brigitte but complaining about basic game mechanics that have been around since launch isn’t really doing you any favors.
