Anyone with significant time on Brig has experienced it. Shatter, Projectiles and Widow shots are egregious offenders.

“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.

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

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

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.

Which is rather interesting because you see something that resembles quite the opposite with ow2s balance direction and (despite rising player count) many players deem 2 to be the worse off one in this regard. 2 has had a break neck by comparison speed of reworks and meta shifts. Seasons have been so drastically different that it's not even comparable. In that sense, I think it's fair to say the rework was effective. It greatly shifted the power budget of brig in accordance with how the new game is played, all without completely removing her identity. Not all changes should be large scale updates like bastion, doom, or sombra.

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

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.

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

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

I want an inspire ui icon so people know they’re actually being healed

wasn't there for the last one, but another BANGER PixelRory vid, Brig has been a weird case bc I remember in OW 1 when she was first added, holy jesus dude she was horrible. but now, i feel she's in an alright, dare i say, pretty good spot. although i havent gotten much time with her with the new armor rework (rework? retune? not sure how'd you'd classify this cuz its going back to an older version of it)

Great video as usual! I get the impression sometimes Blizzard is hesitant to give Brig more attention because of the playerbases PTSD from Goats lol. What would I give for Brig’s shield to be Frame 1 and some new legendaries😫

Considering there is so much CC in the game already, I don't see why Brig gets most of the flack for her stun. Especially since they said they were moving away from the CCWatch model, why is hers a problem but Cassidy potentially is getting Stun Nade back?

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

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.

I remember when she first released, he was not joking when she was everywhere She was literally in *everything*

These battle passes really show blizzards favouritism

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.

Good video. I climbed to Diamond with Brig when released, same with Moira. Good easier times. Maybe a GOATs video down the line would be good? You’re the documentary guy!

i cannot believe i am just now finding out what inspire is and how to use it. this is So Embarrassing I WAS AROUND FOR THE ORIGINAL RELEASE OF BRIG, I- oh my god this is what i get for not looking up info on the game for so long i guess

As a Brig main, I’d say Brig now is fine where she is. It does such that Brig isn’t that great because Lucio is meta but, if we keep buffing her more that what she has now, she’ll dominate just from over buffing her kit

Brig is without a doubt the main reason i play ow2 now i feel in love with her the moment i played her back in ow1 although she does feel kinda forgotten at times when it comes to battle pass skins or updates in general hopefully she gets more love soon

I really wanted to main Brig when she released because I love melee characters and I am not immune to cute and strong girls, but I always felt dirty playing her because of how busted she was. I still haven’t gotten out of that mindset entirely, but maybe I can go back and give her another go!

She’s a little finicky to play, but I promise you she’s not that squishy and she can definitely put the work in. It’s all about picking the right moment to attack. She’s really easy to punish if you don’t understand how to play around cover or who has the right of way in a fight.

Brigs rework for 2-2-2 was a massive mistake. It just made her an issue all over again in the new format. She was meta *a lot* and was one of the primary reasons comps like Double Shield worked which was absolutely miserable. She was *still* heavily complained about during this whole time and everybody still hated her. I main Brig, she was still absolutely ridiculous.

I completely forgot about the old Baptiste ult

Yeah you get a sub. Definitely starting to become a youtuber i watch now

I like the reference to orisa's video

I Remember playing Brig, Torb and Sym (Shield Generator) together to get 75 + 75 + 100 Health We discorvered that the best comp with this team is, Torb, Sym, Brig, Lucio, Zarya (Because she is a Shield caracter) and Zen or Mei

You forgot her armour from her ultimate use to be significantly stronger dew to a bug it mitigated way more damage then it was suppose to

17:34 that poor mercy

Even tho i never experienced release brig i can only imagine the horror of her for how busted she sounds

I really like playing brig. I like melee characters in general, and playing a healer whims doing so feels so unique. But all the guides seem to tell me to play more passive even if I like going aggressive, but hey team player is team player.

Brig has felt near OP since I started playing her in S2 OW2. So insanely good. I also hated her Rally rework.

I use to be a Rein main. Then Brig came out. After that I basically never touched him again. The bash through shield literally sucked the fun out of the character for me that much. Even when it was removed I didn't go back because I didn't trust the devs to not ruin Rein again with a different character release.

@borutoburrito6547

23 күн бұрын

Brig was the straw that broke the camel's back but a Goats style meta was probably always going to develop because of the way characters were and still are designed in OW. Tanks doing nearly as much damage as DPS while having more than double the health makes them very fun to play but it also means that if you stack a couple tanks with a few AOE healers and a speed boost you get an unstoppable death ball that could only be met with the same force or with a team comp so split up that the death ball has no one to target. In my opinion, Goats was an inevitable problem that the devs were going to need to address at one point or another and Brig just happened to be the one that showed that problem off.

@elitexxguy

@@Julton I mean right before brigs release there was quad tank Moira Lucio. And way before that it was Ana Lucio quad tank when nade was overturned. Speed boost is just one of the abilities that gets multiplicatively stronger the more people can be in it because it allows pressure cycles to come quicker for lots of characters. Tbh there wasn’t much brig added besides just being a tank at the time that healed. If brig wasn’t so tanky herself she would’ve likely been replaced by moira as her aoe heals are stronger. Brig was just easy value cause you didn’t have to even swap to heal you just held the frontline and swung and on top of that goats didn’t even need high healing cause it was just a ton of mitigation abilities stacked on top of each other. By the time people were low your zen built his trance already and they were full health again.

@@borutoburrito6547 I agree except that brig didn’t exactly enable these comps into the meta. They had been meta well before her release.

She's fine no need for any buffs or changes

Just play her! Who tf cares if you do bad, play her for a bit see if you have fun. The best way to improve is to just enjoy what you're doing. Fr though, look at both teams to decide how you'll play. Do you have a support that can't always protect themselves? Play around them some more Enemy team have a lot of dive characters? Find who they're mostly to jump on and bully them away Don't spam all your packs unless someone is going to die if you don't, you never know when that last pack is needed. Use shield bash for movement, don't always hold it for the minor knockback Sometimes you want to rally before a fight to build up health for your team, but other times you might want to save it for the middle of a fight to get the most out of rally stuns. Knowing which just comes with time And finally, watch some brig players! MaceToTheFace is the biggest name I know, but even looking at guides on YT (do not watch tiktok ones, they don't help 90% of the time lmao) KarQ would be the best place to look for general brig tips

3:17 Ah yes, the gameplay seems like Brig, but the profile pic is Cass. Small indie company strikes again. Also: "Bullying Doom is my favorite pastime." MY MAN. What MaceToTheFace said about not nerfing the meta leading to overbuffed counter heroes is what I think led to Brig's (and probably Moira's) initial design in the first place. The devs, in all their brilliant balancing decisions, gave the supports a character to counter dive instead of nerfing the dive heroes. I never minded playing vs dive when playing tank, but supporting could get real crazy real quick. Those first few months of forcing Genji/Tracers onto Junk to try and counter me were so cathartic. I'm starting to feel that way again with the two guaranteed stuns on her ult. Now adding Sombras to the 'getting-dunked-on' list. :D

Honestly whenever brig is meta is kind of miserable to play against like back in season 5 in believe she got a shield buff and she was played with most of the support cast and I was miserable cause you couldn’t kill her or the other support she was protecting, and the pair brig Ana was so dam frustrating you literally couldn’t kill anything because the amount of heals they were putting, I rather played against Lucio, kiriko meta any day they are fun to play and play against

I hate to say that brig is the clear downfall of OW1

brigitte was awsome when she was relased, the trick was just going far away from her to not die, is not a coincidence the game started to be trash when she got hard nerfed, this game will never be balanced, so focus on the fun factor, and in ow2 she got more and more uselss, wich by no coincidence the game is more trash

Brigitte is a support, but come on... everyone just calls her a tank.

What a funny and original joke. Did you think of it yourself?

My biggest problem with brig in her current state is how unintuitive she is to play and play with. This is a big issue plaguing support in general, but teammates don’t know when she’s healing them either via health pack or with her passive. This makes it hard for new Brig players to feel like they’re contributing to a team. Her value lies in being able to deny enemy with her shift, but that’s not terribly intuitive the way javelin or sleep dart are obviously denial tools. I think the nature of her passive healing is also frustrating to new players who often don’t even know it exists.
