Brigitte: Overwatch's Tyrant turned Protector

She protec, she attac and when she ult she get stun bac.

No limits in overwatch 1 the hour after Brig dropped was a nightmare. Six Brigs could make anyone cry

id never forget i remember 1v6ing a whole team with rally activated with brig 😭 good times

glad i am not the only one who experienced the shield just not acting open after its open on my screen

“She was supposed to be a paladin but was broken” “Soooo… a paladin”

As an Ana main, I always give candies and spam “Good kitty” voice lines when a good Brig peels me and let me freely provide value

I would like to see her shield at 300 again, sure it’s a big health pool but it still takes full damage wherever it gets hit and it feels like it only lasts 0.5 seconds.

Big thing that made old brig so messed up was a glitch with her rally armor where each 'chunk' of armor would apply damage resistance separately. Meaning if you had a bunch of rally armor on you it would also give you way more damage resistance than was intended. Not super well know but a very important factor in her dominance

I had completely forgotten that launch Brig's shield had 600HP and my jaw actually dropped to the floor seeing it on screen

It's funny how much you talk about how effective Brig's rework was cuz like... honestly it wasn't that drastic of a rework. She didn't get any new abilities or any abilities removed, her existing abilities just got some numbers or the exact way they worked tweaked. It was the game around her that really changed. Brig is just kind of emblematic of Blizzard's issues with game balance. Dive was inescapable for a very long time, and instead of tackling thse characters directly or maybe giving other characters some defence against it, they stuck ALL the anti-dive on one character and then took a year to make meaningful changes.

shield not being frame 1 has cost me quite a few shatters and hooks

Lucio does require a lot more work to protect his team though, unlike Brig. Really have to watch the enemy and guide your ally to the safe spot. Brig just slaps a repair pack and starts trying to beat them up. At lower levels, she can still do work.

I just feel like brig right now is too comp dependant, you can’t play too aggressive since you’ll get deleted unless your tank is taking all the aggro but your heals are so slow it won’t save them. So you end up playing a bit more passive, but all you’re doing is poking them with flail every 5s because you lack range. She only really shines if the enemy team is rushing or diving in so you can actually get into melee range without exploding in 2s or small skirmishes where you can out heal the chip damage while dealing some of your own I want to play Brig more because she can be fun and is really effective in the right scenarios but my games never have the right opportunity for her to shine

you could say brig has never felt so miserable (when the moons reaching out stars lyrics reference) but fr I love brig, definitely my main in the support category lol

I don't know, I feel like there are still a bunch of people that complain about Brig for various reasons, to the point of outright hating her rather than providing valid criticism. "She's a throw pick" "She's brain dead easy" Blah blah blah

Brig on release was 5e Paladin, and is now more balanced lol. And old rally was over armor, which was even harder to chew through than over health.

Bumper, agilities, kariv, space, twilight man I'm getting nostalgic 7:17

Worth mentioning that Joats wasn't even really an OW2 composition - it was played in the OWL over the summer 2022, as the league was playing a pre-launch version of OW2. Queen got nerfed (+ joats ended) in September, about a month before OW2 actually released. Provokes weird questions about what defines 'meta' if the pros are literally playing a different game. Anyway, for most players, Goats is the only time Brig has been a hard meta pick.

Ah yes, the character that single handedly invalidated tracer's entire existence... They were the worst of times, but they were also the best of times.

I love Brig, her and Sombra are pretty much the only reason I play ow. But NGL, I'm not a fan of where Brig is currently. Against decent opponents, FAR too often the best strategy is to just play health pack dispenser for your DPS while afking next your Ana waiting for the enemies to do something. Her Rally rework was a net negative, massively reducing her survivability and mobility, as well as turning it from an engaging ultimate to a reactive and AFK style ultimate, thanks to yhe majority of its power being shifted from the players control into an inanimate object. She is the least interactive and proactive she has EVER been, and many recent changes such as winstons passive, the entirety of Venture, and the MASSIVE boop nerf make her significantly worse at the few things she is supposed to excel at.
