You killed Brigitte

General Discussion

Too many nerfs are destroying this hero, now we will have poor healing hero, with poor damage potential and a 500hp shield. Practically a troll support pick

Still better than like 30% of the roster, probably even 50%.

You don’t even play her.

50 —> 5 damage on Shield Bash is absurd.

For good or for bad, Shield Bash is her most Iconic Ability and should deal meaningful CC damage (25-30). It’s not as if the stun sets up an easy ‘take-your-time’ kill like Sleep Dart–the stun lasts 1.0sec!

After all the nerfs, I wonder if people will pick her over Lucio. Speed and Beat are very strong as it is.

I don’t think any cc ability should do damage. Just disabling a hero is enough ! They should increase her healing and reduce her damage and health, or the other way around and make her an off-tank of sorts.

He probably mains Ana / Widow when Brigitte go’s dive comes back then Ana / Widow will be victim of meta and fade away to, if you think these nerfs only effect Brigitte you’re so wrong they gonna effect a lot more heroes if dive comes back Ana especially, and she has only been meta for 3 month’s now after like a 1 and half year break from dive.

Honestly speaking people now a days don’t even bother playing winston against widow. Maybe this’ll teach them that.

Widow and Brigitte aren’t always same place tho so its totally fine to play Winston at those times, unless Widow does’t play high ground all the time and drops down to Brigitte then i feel bad.

While its kinda frustrating that brig no longer kills tracer and her effectiveness against tracer is now along the lines of speed bump, thats about as far as my sympathy goes. Brig still has an extremely powerful playstyle based around peeling, disruption and sustain that despite what people say has a ton of depth to it. Its about time people started playing her like an off tank like she really is and less like a bad mccree with double health.

Nerfed her in to unviable category with many others.

After the nerfs come live, theres no reason to pick Brig over lucio. Literally none.

The damage of the M1 ? meh
The healing? Lucio does the same and doesnt need to engage
The armor? Speed boost is way better, Discord is too.
The clutch 5 sec healing? Zarya is still there, Lucio can boop and save someone, good luck landing “clutch” flails to save someone.

Her skill ceiling is ultra low to begin with, you cant do anything besides punishing people out of position and open combats with stuns, now you cant do that vs Winston/Orisa/Rein

GGs. RIP Brig.

Spoiler Brig is still the best hero, and 3/3 goats is the best comp.

I agree to a point; Hanzo’s Sonic Arrow always felt like it was too good–it being a full damage Arrow WITH the wall hack utility… even after its recent CD reduction. But then you have things like Flashbang which, if it didn’t do the damage it does, wouldn’t let MCCree finish off Tracer with a dink. (New FTH buffs would fill in there, though, perhaps…)

Yes that is true. In my opinion I don’t think any hero should be one-shot from a cc ability though and I play a lot of McCree. I would rather McCree’s headshot damage was slightly higher to compensate seeing as how silly Hanzo’s spam headshots do so much. I feel some heroes are rewarded for headshots and others are frustratingly lower damage.

But Shield Bash is on 7 second cooldown, while Sleeping Dart is on 12 second cooldown.

As of current Shield Bash can go through barriers and Genji’s deflect. Also to use Sleeping Dart effectively you need to have a decent aim. While with Shield Bash it doesn’t matter.

But like someone said here, CC’s should not do damage. It’s more than enough if you incapacitate someone, even for a second. And I’m pretty sure people will still pick her, in the end of the day. She is the easiest hero to play.

Less dmg in goats doesn’t matter, but more healing does.

Release an easy to play hero clearly overtuned with a 5 second shield bash cd, wait for the community to complain for months and months, many leaving the game due to CC city, and then arguably over-nerf the hero due to widespread complaints.

BALANCE!
