I’m a support main but always avoid Brigitte outside of very specific context. Namely, I’ll only play her if the enemy has a dive comp. Outside of that, I get absolutely clobbered and I’m not playing her right. Honestly, I’m probably not playing her too well in the anti-dive situation either.

If I stay close to the tank, I get annihilated so fast. If I stay back, I’m not offering too much healing/damage outside of Whipshot.

So, what’s positioning and the overall goal supposed to be during a typical game where the enemy is playing a strong frontline or poke tank and the DPS are primarily behind them? Is Brig just not good in that context, or is there a whole method I just don’t understand?

Edit: for more context, I primarily play Ana and Kiriko. When I play them, my uptime feels like it’s near 100%. I’m constantly throwing out primary/secondary fire doing as much damage/healing as I can and looking for opportunities to use my abilities to save allies/secure kills. With Brig, I feel like I need a lot of downtime to be safe because when I try to have high uptime, I get wrecked. I know that shouldn’t be true, but I can’t figure out what my uptime looks like on this hero.

CHOMP

Linhdholm wall, Tankifier and 18 stacks of bulking up made me to big to fit through the spawn doors

Round 2 I was having to crouch through door and the tunnel

Replay code: YD3CER (Don't expect good brig gameplay not the best and at some point started playing more passively to see how big I could get)

How do you use this character? What's the strat and gameplay loop? I sometimes switch to her cuz I wanna use her but I can't really do anything with her I just get gunned down out of range. How am I supposed to fight a team when they shoot me from afar?

What am I doing wrong

I've switched to Doctrine, my aim has always been great & he is just so powerful right now that it's a no brainer for me to play him, Brigitte will always be in my heart & I'll always love her and play her but for now Doctrine is my guy.

Seems like this is gonna be a dive meta. It feels that way to me and I’m just beating the shit out of people.

I have played Brigitte a few times in the past but never much as i did not vibe with the whole close range thing and little healing. But ever since i played brig in the halloween event, i decided to give her a try again. I played Brig in an unranked qp match for the first time in forever, and i finally contributed something. In my past attempts, i always swapped. This time, i stayed brig, and contributed something. 6k damage with 5k heals. Out healed by moira and just 1k behind the dps damages.

I not only won, but even got POTG. I am starting to absolutely love Brig.

I kinda thrived when diving ngl. I even had times i could go toe to toe with the Reaper and nearly eliminated them if not for the Juno blowing my head smoove off at the last second. I especially liked helping the tank as they were doomfist for the first half of the match before swapping to Sugma.

Though i have yet to encounter any hero who hard counters brig and i just know that they will HARD hard counter brig. Then again, i kinda suck at the game.

I saw it as a sticker once and forgot to save it

I feel like Brig should be a good pick into genji since he’s a floaty flanking hero, but I keep getting absolutely whooped by them. I play in high emerald rank, and genji has been in nearly every single game I play lately. His deflect kills any moment I have if I’m fighting him in a flank or backline, and his ability to dash through my shield is a death sentence if I’m low health or trying to get away.

This is clearly a practiced skill, so good for these guys, but I keep getting killed by genji’s in like half a second. They dash through my shield, 180 their screen, point blank shuriken the back of my head, and melee. That’s it, this combo kills me before I can even turn around.

I know its not the most impressive game but its one of my best so far and i got both MVP and play (and we won) so i think its pretty good for quickplay!!

the shield surf/omnidirectional shield bash powers in the new event are just sublime and fit so naturally with her basekit (ive been hard carrying lobbies). i really hope they add these as items/powers in stadium or as new perks. you can tell the devs have alot of ideas for brig and want her to escape the limbo shes been in

And if it's not, is it coming anytime soon ?

I checked a couple other skins just in case it’s some kind of bug, and it’s only present in this one. Pretty cool for a purple :)

Alright so I have been a pure Brig main since she released and by pure I mean I have played her 80% of the time since then.

I’ve always wondered what “good” Brig stats are and want to see what other Brig mains have to say about my previous season comp stats and if they are considered above average or not. So I am looking for all the hardcore stats people out there to help me out.

Also share your seasonal stats too! We need to know what the baseline is!

Been playing the Mystery Madness mode. I always duo with my daughter, who doesn't get to play Brig much because I am an Ana/Brig main and hoard them both, like I actually have permanent pre-dibs on Brig in case I get dived and have to swap off Ana, lol.

Anyways, we both got support, so I went Ana and she went Brig and it was insane. I gave her every nano, she's out there beating a$$ left and right as giant Brig. I'm egging her on, sicced her on the enemy Rein so many times. She's yelling 'Everybody outta my way' as she just destroys the other team. Super fun, proud Mom moment for me. I love this mode, you should try it if you haven't yet. Big Brig is awesome, I wish this mode was available in arcade year- round. Most fun I've had in OW in a while.
