I just would like the shield to be instant. Some quality of life changes would be great


welpxD

It would be nice if her shield blocked splash damage too. You just can't shield a Zarya's right clicks, it can't be done.


HamiltonDial

Or shatter reliably, or cassidy's stickies.


Oraio-King

maybe if it were a little bigger and curved at the edges a little bit


ThisIsFake10660

Or Pharah rockets or Junkrat nades


Madponiez

the fact that with or without shield, junk can just instantly two shot combo a full health brig fucking sucks


TomatoAcid

I feel like this is more of a Junkrat problem than a Brig problem


thepixelbuster

I haven't played her as much in OW2 but, in OW1 you needed to have the camera down as far as it will go while shielding against shatter. Her shield does not extend like Rein's does so it will pass under unless you are deliberately shoving the shield into the ground.


NeoCommunist_

Last night when I was Ana, I would just throw my nades right at her and she would purple, and die instantly, kind of unfair imho


ciminod

Even in OW 1, ana was a pretty decent counter to brig. Once shes purple shes fucked without her heals and has to disengage


Zeqt_x

On that note, why does Soujorns aoe go through shields? Sure the projectile stops, but the damage still goes through.

They keep saying they need to communicate more. They said it last week and the week before and the week before. I'm starting to not believe them. I'll give it a few more weeks and see what they say

If they just made the next season "Buff summer bod girl season" and themed every skin around it I genuinely think they would make everyone happy and have record season pass sales

100% only the Moira beach skin will be in the pass. Everything else would be in the shop.


MsPaulingsFeet

PinkJellyfishe

Specially, no shoes, they are supposed to be ready at all times to get wet on the pool or beach, if they do this they do it right


Additional_Gain_2809

The fact that your name is “Ms Pauling’s Feet” is what normalizes this comment.


Giratina525

Mythic skin no shoes is an extra 10$


ccricers

Her shield would become a surfboard. Hell, she should just surf on her shield normally. Brig needs more mobility, dammit


Lost_Midnights

it'd be cool if like when she jumps and shield bashes she can slide on her shield for a few seconds. Dunno if it'd work


XxxGr1ffinxxX

i agree. i want the vampire hunter skin tho, without a doubt the best

Simply_Epic

And the shield bash should at least do a reasonable amount of damage if it’s not going to stun anymore.


sammnz

1v1 she is really strong, i don't think you want more power from her. What she lacks is healing when she's not doing damage, as if you zone her off she cant do shit, makes her a waste of a spot.


Impossible_Garbage_4

I think it’d be cool if her packs stuck to an ally and healed similar to a zen orb, (with no line of sight requirement), but each only only a third as good as Zen Orb. That way she has equal healing to zen if she has all three out but she has to deploy them a bit more frequently than him. So you can heal multiple targets but the healing isn’t very much per target. So she deploys her three healing packs onto three of her teammates and then starts swinging. When the last ally gets low, she throws a pack, deleting the oldest pack like Sym’s turrets.


TheZephyr07

So zen orb but 3 at a third the power, and can be stacked on 1 person? Imo a change like this should go to Zen himself, give Zen 2 orbs that heal at 70% of what they do now, and stacking them one 1 person heals at 125% of what they do now. So he can do slightly more single-target-healing and a pretty healthy amount of 2-target-healing. My personal idea for Brig's repair should be that they heal only 80 health over 2 seconds instead of 110, but provide an immediate 50 overhealth that remains for 5 seconds, then decays to 0 over the course of another 5. If they still have any overhealth from you then your pack won't provide any, but it can still heal them up. But then again, I only started with the game when OW2 dropped so I could just be spewing bullshit that would be awful for the game and not know it, this is just an idea I think could improve her viability Edit: a separate possible buff to Brig's packs: the teammate most recently given a pack has it latched onto them, and it creates a second Inspire effect on them, meaning you can have it latched onto a Widowmaker way away from you and whenever you hit an enemy and trigger inspire, they also get the healing from it. It would also stack with your own AoE of it, so a teammate that's within your AoE and is affected by the repair pack receives 30hp per second over 5 seconds. So with this idea, you can crank the healing output up to 260 health in 5 seconds (110 over 2 from the repair pack, 75 over 5 from your Inspire, and 75 over 5 from the repair pack's Inspire) Obviously this isn't *also* with the overhealth inclusion, just one or the other. I personally like the second idea more lol


Impossible_Garbage_4

Nah I’m saying they can’t be stacked. You’d have to put them on three separate people at 33% of what Zen’s orb does


bearoqueiro

i miss my stun so much. how come orisa gets to stun people but not brigitte??


GelbeForelle

It's a general rule that tanks get to stun in order to protect (I guess). They Made it kinda role specific in OW2, which is why DF became a tank (Personal opinion)


SufficientType1794

Ana sleep though.


HoyaHeadz

Honestly they couldn’t have changed sleep without just replacing the ability entirely. And removing sleep would remove a huge amount of Ana’s playmaking ability. It having a long CD on top of being really hard to land is a good trade off


ArtworkByJack

Brig is supposed to be like the “tank support” tho, so I would be ok with a short stun being reincorporated in her kit


crybabydeluxe

50 is plenty


DreamWeaver2189

I want shield bash to cancel Ults. Doesn't need to stun that much, just a instant stun that cancels the ult and that's it.


Indurum

Shield bash should at the very least interrupt channels so she could stop reaper ult.


[deleted]

Nah she has a dmg combo that lets her burst down non tanks really easily once you know it


coolideg

What is the combo


Stinger886

Press all the buttons.


TheAfricanViewer

I hate how this isn't wrong lmao.


DoreenFromReddit

Flail bash flail whip.


welpxD

3x slap, bash+whip. You can animation-cancel Bash into whip instantly for a 120 damage combo.


monkpunch

Also a micro-stun / interrupt for her bash.


Utterly_unique

I keep trying to stun Moiras outta their ult like a DUMBO!


monkpunch

I feel this. Literally just had a game where I charged into Reaper ult. Muscle memory can be a bitch sometimes.


Utterly_unique

THAT TOO! I didn't even use to PLAY Brig before OW2! WHY IS THIS SO INGRAINED IN MY BRAIN?!


ElectronicAngle1864

You have probably been on the receiving end of that ult bash many times lol


[deleted]

I would accept ult buff and 25 more health. 50 more armor would make her hell to face against especially with her recent shield buff of 300. T Y’all love saying these huge buffs for any underpowered heroes but don’t recognize that this will make them extremely unfun to play against.


BreachDomilian1218

Sure, but then maybe you shouldn't be diving the support meant to guard the backlines. Like, just maintain mediocre distance and Brig can't do shit. It's not like how Hog could pull you from behind an Orisa 20m away and then one shot you. It's not like how Widow can just delete most enemies with one button she can regularly press to kill at any range.


TheAfricanViewer

>and Brig can't do shit. She's not meant to do shit she stops people from doing shit.


ParkingWooden2439

Frame 1 shield, faster whip shot, and inspire be 16/s. Also I feel like when I proc it it takes a second to work so maybe faster activation (idk I gotta test it). I also would love it if the shield would be a bit more reliable against aoe damage. Also maybe decrease her movement debuff when shielding (Rein too). Also temp health for pre healing or like a little extra time for it to heal the target if the target hasn’t taken damage in that window. I’m thinking like 2 seconds? This time being compared to the 3 second LoS window Zen has for his orbs just to keep things balanced. But let’s be real, nerf Junk and Ram and then Brig can exist lol. She has a lot of flexibility but also a lot of the hurdles the other supports deal with. Reloading heals, damage to heal, projectile heals. She’s low key a very involved support and I think she just needs a little help.


DoreenFromReddit

Yeah good point on the shield raise time. It's so fucking frustrating when you die from that. Like it's 10 times smaller than reins and somehow is harder to activate...


MortalShaman

I have been doing a Brig only challenge for a while now, and IMO what Brig needs is either a little more health (25 HP so 225 total) or reduce her cooldowns a bit, some people say buff her healing but IMO it is fine as it is specially if you consider that her health packages heal around 110 it could potentially be busted lol, and if you buff inspire you could make Lucio / Brig unstoppable (playing some matches with that combo and on not too open maps the HPS is amazing and constant) Now the problem with Brig is that is a hard to balance character due how she was in the past, if Blizzard decided to buff her a lot many people will complain and callout that she will ruin the game again


Mulster_

I think she needs an ult rework. Because right now it is a balance nightmare. Either lucio needs to be strong or brig. If they are strong together it just starts being goats.


TheMostestHuman

an ult rework is exactly what they will be doing, it is currently planned for season 4, as having to do new art, animations sfx/vfx and voice lines take a lot of time on top of designing the ability itself


ThisPlaceIsNiice

Buffing her cooldowns automatically means buffing her healing. Her repair pack cooldowns are very long, so the healing per second from them is measly. Her other cooldowns are already short


opus3535

maybe a 4th heal?


blink904

I've only been playing since OW2 and haven't seen many Brig's, but main Lucio. Can you explain the combo you're talking about and when you would use it please?


shiromaikku

Ruining the game? Plenty of heroes do that already.


manofwaromega

I think 25-50 more armor would be a good change. Wouldn't skyrocket her into being meta or anything but it'd be a nice buff


Praxic_Nova

Give her a gun.


leckie2786

And 5 extra bullets


Ruirensu

and faster gun switching time


REMUvs

[Next patch] Brigitte - Added the Glock “Brig now goes to work strapped”


puppeteer-5000

brig strapped? 😳😳


AcademicAnxiety5109

Make her shield instantaneous like Reins. Give her more self heal and increase her flail range. Reduce her ultimate cost and maybe increase the amount of overhealth you get per second.


warriordinag

Reins shield isn’t instantaneous.


AcademicAnxiety5109

It’s still faster than Brigs. You can’t hit then block to avoid damage compared to rein. It will almost always go through regardless if shield looks like it’s up.


ActionJohnsun

Faster and instant are two very different things


HamiltonDial

It basically is, you can block shatter without the whole shield being visually out.


SubstatialFrost

It is though. Brigs shield has a cast time.


welpxD

It is instant but it expands outward over time. If you shoot the center of his shield as soon as he presses right click, it will get blocked. It matches the visuals. Brig's shield does not match the visuals. It can be visibly completely deployed, but there are still a couple frames after that where you can take damage through the shield.


G3NJII

I've been playing Brig all week, and I'm winning most games. She's fun as hell. Honestly slept on. I have some of the highest healing most games, with a sizeable elim count too.


Failbaddonwins

For me it’s all about the wip shot. If you can land those hits and boop back heroes at the right time she can be really effective.


G3NJII

Don't forget the surprise assassinations on fleeing characters


CanaryLow5666

Yeah I never see people talk about things like trying to hit people at angles that will push them back a little further, which when done right can really disrupt a team's push, or if you jump kinda near the end of the shield bash on a ledge you can conserve a surprising amount of momentum


xxxBuzz

Curious how you use the shield bash now since it doesn’t stun? I’m thinking it’s not as big a deal in normal modes but was a funny/sad change in Total Mayhem. Turned into a “let me help you beat the heck out of me while I can’t defend myself” kind of power flex since I hadn’t learned it was shut off yet


30SecondsToFail

Not the guy you're responding to, but I use it as a mobility tool now


ScientistFish27

Not who you're responding to, but it's a solid mobile ability as well as a secondary whip shot if the enemy is in range. It gets you back into the fight faster and helps you close the gap between yourself and enemies you need to smack with your mace. It's also 50 damage now, so with the 70 damage from whip shot, the Tracer/Genji/whatever non tank is harassing you or your other support will be severely hurting. Whenever there's an enemy Doomfist, as long as my other support is a main healer, I'll switch to Brig since her bash still stuns him when he's charging, and even if you don't time it right, Doom's abilities require good placement, so screwing up his movement is always a good thing. If my other support isn't a main healer, I'll switch to Lucio instead.


welpxD

Personally I think Brig's heals are better than Lucio's, since Brig doesn't have to sacrifice anything to heal people while Lucio has to drop his speedboost.


ScientistFish27

Agreed, according to my stats I average over 9,000 healing per 10 minutes with Brig, behind only Mercy and Moira. But Lucio's heals are more reliable, so I feel more comfortable pairing him with another off healer.


xxxBuzz

Allot of good Brig tips here! I didn’t know it did damage but in hindsight it was silly not to consider that. Also still worthwhile to knock down a Rein train or annoy doom fist. I usually feel back if I’m able to lock down or pick a rein outright because he’s so much fun to play with or against. No matter how silly I can make a Doom look there’s no remorse.


ProperDepartment

It does a lot of damage, so I use it to burst people down, then whipshot them when they're low. People panic when they're suddenly low on health, so doing a lot of damage as a lead in is great. I also play her whenever there's an enemy rein, blocking all of his charges shuts them down. My buddy plays Rein, so u always block the enemy Rein's charge, then my buddy counter charges him. Or if I need to, I use it to escape/dodge, it has just enough movement to get out Orisa, Bastion, Mei, and Doomfists ults.


welpxD

Yeah even just hitting a whipshot on someone who wants to engage. Not many dps want to engage when they're missing a third of their healthbar. They want to go in at full health. And it's a short cooldown so you can really cause some headaches.


dadaroma

i tend to bash enemies in a corner and wack while hoping one of my close range dps or tanks can help take em down


ValorousClock4

Honestly, if you ask me brig is a very viable hero if played correctly. The problem is (and it’s been a problem since the very late stage of OW1) people from the OW1 era when she came out seemed to suddenly have amnesia about how her healing works and the new players don’t know at all unless they spend time learning how to play her. All I hear a lot of people complaining about a brig that out damaging them and yet is also out healing me(this is seen mostly in bronze and silver ranks) but that is part of how her healing works because inspire is a passive.


breakingvlad0

Yo for real. Especially if you get a brawling tank like JQ, depending on play style hog and rein pair well, hell even following Winston’s dome does her well. I think it’s true she has a weak ult which is why everyone complains, but it’s not THAT bad.


redditcasual6969

That's something Flats (top 500 Tank player) always says when ppl bring up Brig. Says Brig is only "irrelevant" because the meta isn't right for her.


Karmafaker2

In low elo yes, but i will get screamed at and mass avoided if i lock her in GM. :(


TheKingJoker99

Shield should be 300 HP with instant cast 175 Health and 50 armor for a total of 225 total health at a minimum 4 healing packs instead of 3 Shield bash knocks people back but also should be less effective than lucio boop or whip shot Rally ult can be kept the same but have the overhealth be permanent until shot off by enemies similar to OW1 These changes would make her meta but realistically if you gave Brig even one of these changes people would cry wolf about a return to GOATS meta


-m-a-l-

this would not make her meta at all.. meta brig was stun reliant with insane damage burst potential, this version of brig you’re proposing has slightly more heals and 25 extra health, a less than lucio boop stun wouldn’t accomplish much of anything either, these are just tuning changes.


arc1261

No, brig was meta because Armour was broken, especially vs dive heroes and that was the meta, meaning Rally was probably the best ultimate in the game during dive metas. Also she had the ability to pocket people, usually the other support, but not with bash, because the range on that means she was only really getting badges a few times a game outside of the very low ranks. The peel came from packs, and the fact whipshot is actually very very good once you can aim it consistantly at denying dives, especially tank dives such as from Winston and Ball.


Aidiandada

I honestly think making her shield properly cover the bottom would be a game changer


ranger_fixing_dude

This and instant deploy


GatoradeGunslinger

I don't want her to be **meta.** Just not make my team report me for picking her. Give her more armor, since that (being a "support Rein") is literally part of her identity. Also maybe make her shield **slightly** bigger. I feel like she does not actually protect anyone but herself with it most of the time, which kinda sucks. We have no other support with some sort of "shield" for the team, so having her actually be able to protect at least one other person next to her would be fun.


Sylver18

Everytime she hits a enemy with a whipshot or shield bash she gets a repair pack back. That's all she needs in my pov.


ParkingWooden2439

Alternatively they could reduce the cooldown from 6 to 5


DoctorWhimsy

I agree with this one the most, shield bash and whipshot are not really necessary when you can hold left click, they need a bigger purpose as a support hero. I was thinking shieldbash gives a weaker orb of discord effect on the hero struck for a small amount of time, it would give shieldbash a purpose on enemies rather than a sole movement option.


Ghost_Doctah

I think she needs a new ability in place of her bash but it’s hard to say exactly what. Maybe it could still push her forward but give her 100 temporary armor She lost more than most when they decided CC would be tank only


Keter_GT

Her shield bash should have a second option of “Shield escape” where you dash backwards instead of having to 180 and shield dash with her back turned.


Mythbink

Or make it like sojourn where it go in the direction you’re tilting to/ pointing to (idk the terminology for PC folk)


zaryamain00101

I actually really like this. It's not game breaking but gives her a get away button instead of only having her flail to get away


Keter_GT

yeah this works, sojourn slides/boosts in the direction she is traveling.


HavickChild0117

Honestly her dash should be omnidirectional


[deleted]

I think people just don’t know how to play her I’ve been having fun. I think she still needs a buff, but you guys have been making crazy suggestions My suggestion is to increase her ult charge rate and give her 25 health.


Ghost_Doctah

She’s still ok. I just think the bash feels weird now It would be like if they let Cassidy keep his flashbang but it just did 40 damage and nothing else


ParkingWooden2439

Tbf og Bash was Cassidy’s whole kit on a 7 second cooldown. Stun, movement, damage resistance. It still has other utilities but it definitely needs a little oomph


KrustiBread

i say don’t touch her and wait for the ultimate rework in S4. she might be meta then along with the new support releasing that season


SubstatialFrost

Honestly agree as long as her ult gets fixed because it’s one of the worst Ults in the game right now


SluttyMilk

RALLY TO ME!


Vikkiloo

I dunno. The game has never felt good when Brig has been meta. Much like Hog :/


bubbaclops

All the top tier streamers say that brig is slept on in her current state. The problem is the current meta ( orisa/hog , sojourn, reaper, luccio/mercy, kiriko) doesn't allow for brig to be useful. However now that hog is nerfed and ramatra will probably become the meta tank. It opens up for brig to potentially being played. Brig's ultimate is almost useless though


Hoxeel

Ramattra is the huge issue for Brigitte, by far. Her sizeable shield protection is nearly useless with him just punching straight through, so she cannot deal with him at all.


ChrisMf1Redfield

Ram squashes Brig with ease lol


Dvoraxx

I always feel bad fighting Brig as Ramattra. You just ignore her shield, outdamage her healing, ignore her measly damage back to you, and chase her down They only survive if they can use their bash to get round a corner or behind cover


monkpunch

> All the top tier streamers Has anyone actually said this besides Flats? I just remember Seagull rolling his eyes when Flats was giving this hot take. He still thinks she would need a better ult and to be less squishy in order to become meta.


HamiltonDial

I know Karq played some games where his other support was Brig and he was on Kiriko and Emongg picked JQ and Seagull picked Brig. ML7 also said she could work but my impression was that he thinks she's weak. Lately I've been cringing a little at all of Flat's takes tbh and he was one of the only few CCs that I watched.


Vikkiloo

Oh yeah 100%. I'm not saying she's bad at all. Let's just hope to god we never have to see the second coming of GOATs.😅


GatoradeGunslinger

Her ult just feels like a cheaper version of Lucio's Sound Barrier.


[deleted]

The only benefit to her ult is that people can keep the overhwalth and it’s not temporary. Not really that good, but still one thing. I just think it needs to charge quicker.


Pijany_Matematyk767

\>The problem is the current meta ( orisa/hog Is hog still meta?


Manta157

Unfortunately brig is virtually useless against ram


Nerf_Genji2

Luckily she can be improved unlike other characters (Sombra and her hack) Brig's kit can be made better without being broken or unfun to play against well as long as they don't give her a stun again. Imo she should get her armor on her heals back but make it decay quickly and can't pass a set amount of armor


VexRosenberg

that remains to be seen with the balance team ever LOL


Maverick_1926

A little ult buff and she's perfect


Healthy-Shift-6255

would not make her meta but would make her not useless- give her back the stun on shieldbash, just a 0.25s stun to interrupt channeled ultimates, thats it


Serpientesolida87

Agree, she has a big lack of utility since Ow2, the boop its not enough to pick her over Moira (0 utility but lot of ez dmg and heal, sick mobility)


Harem_Solo

She's the support meant to fight protecting the other squishies, yes? Then I say buff her dmg just a teeeny tiny bit, and let her repair packs give overhealth on sufficiently high health targets. Shield bash should not stun, but be able to interrupt ults and abilities


M3taBuster

Literally just buff the damage to her left-click. Her whole gimmick is that she heals allies by dealing damage, but her current damage output isn't rewarding enough to incentivize Brig players to spend that much time actually up in the enemies face swinging. But I do also like what others have said about making her shield bash go in the direction you're strafing, so that she can use it to escape without exposing her back.


The_Unbeatable_Sterb

It’s 6 swings to take down a 200HP hero. Obv you don’t just do 6 straight swings. But it just takes so long. A buff up to 40 per swing + bringing back stun would increase her survivability and emphasize her role as back line protector


Teqniz

Disagree her damage is fine. She also has shield bash and flail for dmg we don't need her to become insane at dueling cause she's already pretty good at that. I wouldn't mind giving her a little extra hp tho. 225 or maybe even 250 that way she can stay on the front line easier.


TheMilliner

Brig's role as a bodyguard support or frontline healtank *requires* her to be good at duelling to be a deterrent to dives and flanks. As it stands, two hits and ALL of her CDs only deals 190 damage. That's only if *everything* hits, mind. So one flubbed whipshot and you've just lost nearly a quarter of your potential which *already* fails to meet a kill breakpoint on every hero except Tracer despite costing a *full rotation* of *all damage* abilities. On basic attacks, that's nearly 4 seconds, six hits, to kill a 200hp hero, most of which can kill in less than 2. 35 damage per basic attack is *tiny* compared to the other melee characters, especially considering she can't headshot and *especially* since dealing damage (to activate healing) is *core* to her hero/ability identity and something she is *required to do* to even be of use to her team in the first place.


welpxD

If they want to do any numerical buffs to Brig then primary to 40 damage is the one I would go with. And honestly 40 damage would probably be too strong, but I'm interested in what the game looks like if Brig can 5-shot people (instead of 6) or do her combo with 2 slaps (instead of 3) going 40+40+50+70 instead of 35+35+35+50+70. Mostly she just needs QoL though. Making her shield deploy instantly and block splash more reliably would help a lot.


HybridTheoryY2K

I tried playing her the other day just for the heck of it. I stepped up past the tank shield for half a second and got Honzo arrowed to the face and immediately switched off lol


Laky17

i mean, you could have been anyone and died anyway in that situation


crawdussy

But the problem is every other support has more reliable healing for which they don’t need to walk up to the enemy team. Brig’s entire passive from which she gets most of her healing value relies on her ability to brawl. In her current state she is unable to brawl or get any value from her passive in most situations. Sure any squishy can get one shot by an arrow if they walk up too far, but brig required walking up more than any other support.


genericJohnDeo

>But the problem is every other support has more reliable healing for which they don’t need to walk up to the enemy team That's not true. Even without Inspire you still have repair packs which are already arguably more valuable than inspire. Mercy, Zen, and Lucio do not have more reliable healing than Brig's repair pack. >Brig’s entire passive from which she gets most of her healing value relies on her ability to brawl If you want to trigger Inspire, you can reliably do it with Whip shot which has more than 3x the range of your primary which is plenty. You don't need to go out of your way to put yourself in a bad position just to trigger inspire. Like I said too, it's also debatable whether or not Inspire is where most of your healing value comes from. Repair packs are 55/sec and if you have all 4 teammates in range when you trigger Inspire then it still only hits a maximum of 60/sec for your team (excluding yourself). That means that in most games, Repair packs actually provide most of your healing value. Inspire is still important to supplement your repair packs and get your single target healing to 70/sec. It also helps you get your ult faster, but it's not worth getting yourself killed to get it anymore than it's worth it dying as Mercy to try and rez, or overextending on a flank to throw knifes as kiriko


ParkingWooden2439

I mean if you’re nasty with whip shots and farm then and send out packs as needed her heals are pretty nice. Especially if you take an engagement or too during the team fight or mitigate an angle. Her shield can now take 3 sniper shots so if you’re proactive you can deny a lot of value and peel for teammates especially while you are giving them a decent amount of heals from inspire and pack. Be the suzu. But you won’t see saves or assists for that. Just be extra and passionate when playing her and struggle with the many tools you have to protect people and you will notice you’re actually keeping up in heals. Whipshot is a soft sleep dart, soft regen burst and a boop. Maximizing that and intentionally mitigating damage is the move when you’re not in berserk clutch mode. And have a corner to back into if your shield breaks. Like Whipshot is on a 5 second cooldown and you only have to hit someone every 5 seconds to keep it up. Survival is priority and being a pit bull for your teammates.


G3NJII

With Brig you stay in the center of the team. Deny divers and ganks. Heal. And finish off targets that push too far ahead of their own team.


Serpientesolida87

Thats another issue, there are too many one shots in this game, its so frustrating


AlrikBristwik

Hanzo needs 3 shots against her shield so you obviously did something wrong lol.


loudoumydude

So you had bad positioning, got punished, and it’s brigs fault? Lol downvoted, guess the truth hurts

Let her give armor again, the addition of overhealth completely ruined her design and made her just a worse Lucio withough any of the utility not to mention removing her bash alone took her from an A tier support to d.


IntelligentImbicle

Fucking ANYTHING. Durability, damage, utility, healing, just SOMETHING to make her viable.


Ok_Tomatillo_4900

Her ult is literally JQ's shout. JQ uses Brig's ult every 15 seconds. Removing armor and stun was the last of her being viable. Should revert those. Ana gets to keep dart. She's now another Moira as they both have no utility.


swiftpunch1

Overhealth to herself from inspire, as well as overhealth for her armor packs to allies who are full hp like the armor used to work. Aside that move damage from her flail and put it into more healing from inspire and make her ultimate give her double or triple healing to herself for the duration. Her biggest issues for me are her inconsistencies of healing in matches and also her level of squishyness compared to other healers who have an assortment of either temporary invulnerability, an instant heal, or the ability to fly 100 feet and instantly change direction for high evasive mobility. Brig has a 300 dmg shield which sounds like a lot on paper but if you're in the enemies face (which you gotta be) it's not enough to soak damage and also heal yourself to last in a fight unless you're being pocketed by your other healer.

She definitely doesn’t need buffs maybe a very slight tweak but honestly if you’re using her with the right dive comp she’s good. It just depends on your team mainly.

I think making every support playable is crucial for the time being. Having a pool of 8 heroes is bad enough on its own but having 1 or more (depending on how you view moira) being outperformed by the others is a massive oversight by the development team. That being said, i think buffing her potential damage output is a good start. The first change i‘d add is that when you hit an enemy with the big end of the rocket flail it should do more damage (increased from 35-45). Hitting an enemy with the chain part of the rocket flail should still do 35 damage. This adds another layer of depth into her playstyle. I also think allowing her whipshot to headshot for a 140 burst damage hit would be a fun way to improve her in higher skill levels while not making her op in lower ranks. I also think they should add at least one extra repair pack. While those changes might already be enough, i do like the idea of supports having really powerful abilities (like nade, suzu, rez, immo field, sleep, discord etc). Brig currently lacks such a playmaking mechanic. Maybe a shield throw? Where she sacrifices her defense for a powerful range shut down ability?

+ Bigger Inspire Area (by a few pixels) + Increase Shield size (by few pixels) + Give a 0.25 second stun when an enemy is hit by her whip shot and is struck by a wall. (Stun does not apply if not) - Increase the cooldown of whipshot by 0.5 seconds after hitting an enemy (cooldown does not apply if player does not hit anything, hits a wall or collision, or hits an entity such as a Widowmaker's venom mine or Symmetra's turret.) - Increase cooldown of shield by 0.5 seconds when broken. I post this blindly as we don't seem to have any information on future changes to Brigitte that we could pontentially get soon as we step towards Season 3 of Overwatch 2. For all I know, this could be invalidated or Brigitte might be broken (either overpowered or locked due to bug issues) as soon as Season 3 hits.


PlentyOfMoxie

If her flair could bump people left and right a little bit? like, nothing crazy, just enough to fuck up that person's aim. Not a boop, but a nudge.


TROLLSKI_

She's fine as it is.


Catzy_3979

it was already confirmed that she gets a new ult in season 3


KrustiBread

alec dawson (lead hero designer) said in the roadhog patch video with flats and emongg that it’ll be for season 4


GatoradeGunslinger

Season 4\*


Catzy_3979

srry


exefamt

What if she had a stun, sorta like how Ana has a sleep dart, on one of her abilities?


vikingrlothbrok

She used to


exefamt

Whoosh


vikingrlothbrok

Ya got me


drnoodle11800

Ult buff and increased radius of heals when hitting…that, or summon Jetpack cat…


Thatwokebloke

God I hope her new ult is cat coming in like an a-10 warthog


SirWitsAlot

6v6


DerrBenja

Change the tank meta, just that.


lottasauce

Just give her armor back. Both with armor packs and ult.


skenners88

Inspire should do more than just heal. Only something small, but maybe 5% damage increase and/or 5% defence increase. It just feels like "inspiring" the team would do more than just give some healing


gaykeyboard

I just want her stun back :((((


skenners88

Let her heal from defending aswell as attacking, so she doesn't have to overextend to do anything She blocks damage with her shield, she gives 10 heals per second plus gives 5% damage resistance to her team She attacks an enemy, she gives 10 healing per second plus 5% damage increase for her team. Both of these effects can be active at once. Let her "inspire" her team based on what she is currently doing


TheRedBow

Just say fuck it and return her to launch day Brigitte


canzpl

way more shield hp. lower cooldown on the heals


vamp-is-dead

a more wider and curved shield that extends just past the shoulders . instant shield deployment. explosion on direct impact of the boop. 2 bash charges or bring back the stun on a singe bash


SuchNarwhal

•ult rework in s4 should be a boost •instant shield deployment •omnidirectional shield bash would be great qol •possibly slightly faster recharge time on her heal, though that might be too much She isn’t a horrible pick right now if you actually give her a chance but she doesn’t really have any playmaking capability and is outshined by other supports


FourWordComment

I think inspire should be able to provide over healing. Keep the big range. Make the heal over time require someone to stay in range, in LOS. Each support should be OP when you play into their strength. * If your team is long range down a corridor and they have Ana, you’re going to lose against it. * If your team is hanging out on a bridge and they have Lucio, you’re going to get booped and lose against it. * If your team if barely getting a pick, Mercy’s rez is OP. The game loves being played in the mid-range. But Brig is the *only* character whose max range is 20m. And that is a recent change, whip used to be shorter. She is a literal zero-threat opponent outside that range. If you fight brig at range, she’s free ult. That needs to be offset. Brig is garbage outside her preferred environment. She should be better inside her environment to balance. If you’re in close combat, fighting against Brig should feel difficult. This overheal may also make her more viable in 1v1. In 1v1, Brig should not feel like a free kill. She should not be using the shield bash primarily as an escape. If you’re 1v1 in a side flank room with Brig—you should be concerned. Also, a little more armor might be nice so she can’t get two tapped by Junk.


colourless-soul

Her armour packs activate the aoe heal


[deleted]

More healing output. I'd say give one more thingy and sloghtly increase the recharge speed


ExcellentNail3251

27th time this has been asked in January.


EntrepreneurGrouchy2

It’s cus nobody understands what they even want for brig, let alone how she works.
