Mcree’s flash cant go through barriers and has a long cooldown. Brig’s can and has a short cooldown. Brig’s armor is like a soundbarrier that can be used BEFORE a fight starts and stays on. Triple support is boring. Dragonstrike-Grav is boring. This is more boring than triple tank was.
Edit: I don’t think Briggite is necessarily overpowered, but instead I think she just makes this meta a total drag. People whine when you don’t run one. There are also people that suck at her trying to play her because she’s meta. Just stop it.

Next time you assume something isn’t working test it out 1st, you can still stun a rein with shield up.
Of course it is. Triple tank back then did not require grav + dragonstrike combo to kill things. Roadhog and D.Va were more than capable by themselves so the games didn’t end up being dead air for so long.
McCree has to look up to use his flashbang and is vulnerable while doing it. Brigitte is not. Also notable how Blizzard thought it is perfectly fine for her stun to have a 2 times shorter cooldown. Blizzard sometimes genuinely shock me even though they do have the “made no other shooter before” excuse.

Imho they know exactly what they are doing. Just tune into any OWL match, all the casters/commentators, the whole crew are pushing / pimping / adoring / overexplaining Brig so hard it’s almost cringy. You’d have to dumb def and blind not see they’v been commanded to promote her as hard as they can.

Mcree’s flash doesn’t go through rein’s shield. Briggite’s does. THROUGH and AROUND don’t mean the same thing.
This meta is diverse if anything unlike the Dive / Flank meta. I think that was a boring drag on the game, and this meta actually a lot more diverse than before.
