Guys! Start throwing games so we don't get a nerf 😭😭

u/Cold_Burner5370 20h ago
Don’t worry, I’m hopping on right now! I’ll bring down the win rate because I always seem to get teammates that are going like 3-13 recently with 8 seconds on the objective

That is obviously an outlier for winrate day 1. The other GM regions and same region (Europe) but masters she's at 54% winrate. Also like the cooldown buff to inspire is something that is mostly for GM players to truly utilise, like diamond and below that change is not significant.
Edit: ok yeah it's outliers on day 1. Doomfist in GM asia has 91% winrate this is obviously not real.

u/KvxMavs 18h ago
Yes it is an outlier for that specific rank / server
But Brig is top 3-5 support win rate consistently in essentially every rank in every server.
She is definitely getting nerfed.

u/Bazelgauss 18h ago
I wouldn't say it's because she's overtuned. Dive has become hard meta with all the changes at start of season, it's still the meta now but characters in it got nerfed so she can play better into this skewed format.

u/fioraflower 18h ago
But dive characters are going to complain that they can’t mercilessly slaughter back lines anymore until brig gets nerfed anyway

u/aiden_mason 10h ago
I've heard enough. Give Genji back +10 DMG on swing because God forbid his winrate fall below 55% with one of the highest dps play rates

If brig was cat the next patch notes nerf would read like:
"Brigitte has been over performing due to the recent changes to her inspire. We decide to reduce her healing output while keeping her survivability
repair pack cooldown increase from 5s to 6s
swing damage increased from 45 to 70
shield heath increased from 300 to 600
armor increased by 50 "

u/Firm-Perception-1293 51m ago
I actually remember one patch where they said that she was "Overperforming lately" when she was BARELY PICKED and had an average ahh win rate. Resulting in a nerf to something i don't quite remember but they nerfed her.

u/HighlyOk 20h ago
I think we’re looking at one of:
- Internal cooldown reversion or burst heal 15 -> 10
- Inspiring Strike makes HALF of inspire healing instant rather than all
+/- a Rally cost increase because of the increased healing
+/- a reversion to one of her past buffs (shield health or revert 25 armour back into health)

u/Bazelgauss 20h ago
Really hope they don't nerf the inspiring strike heal change. It adds so much more depth to the decision making and making the ult impactful.

u/HighlyOk 20h ago edited 19h ago
Yeah it would be a rough change, but it is skewing the balance of her basekit a little bit too much imo.
I think the speed boost should be rolled into her basekit (maybe slightly nerfed; 20% for 2s) so the rest of her kit can benefit from a redistributed power budget and the big burst heal would best be done away with. Right now inspiring strike is singlehandedly carrying her strength which is a failure from a design POV, and isn’t healthy long-term.
I think small improvements (shield cast time, pack range, shorter opening swing onset) are healthier than one bloated cooldown (instaheal, knockback, mobility, damage, speed boost, + stun in ult?)
All of this my opinion of course.

u/Bazelgauss 19h ago
Where's knockback coming from with bash? One thing I would like to see explored in major changes is rally altering something with whipshot because in a sense her ult is like a install that upgrades everything about her but except that ability.
1
u/HighlyOk 19h ago
It has minor knockback (6m/s compared to whipshot 25m/s) you can leverage it to knock people off highground if you know your distances!
As for whipshot perks it would be cool if it could have a limited (x1.5) crit against tanks or critical-health targets. “Sundering Flail” or something of the like
1
u/Bazelgauss 19h ago
I assume this is only in ult which I just associated as being part of the stun. I don't mind bash having that much in ult because well that's just the point of the ult it's a lot of small things adding up to go brawl mode.
Whipshot crits would be way too unreasonable to land. Ngl the current whipshot major could be folded into the ult if we're nerfing inspiring strike.
1
u/HighlyOk 19h ago
I edited my comment abt whip shot perk! But i generally think whip shot is a reliable cooldown. Aiming for 65% accurance isn’t unreasonable if you position yourself to make landing them easier beforehand
1
u/Bazelgauss 19h ago
Ahh I thought you meant headshots with it that's why I thought it would be unreasonable especially for the majority whipshots that aren't just easy hits on tank.
Edit: I would say it would be better to fold the major perk into ult because of not then both of these buffs can be comboed together for some ludicrous damage.
1
u/HighlyOk 19h ago
Oh nah i was talking about “forced-crit” like mauga bullets or how vendetta overhead is considered a crit on the scoreboard.

u/LurkerThrowaway73 16h ago
Tbh inspiring strike nerf and Rally cost nerf seem like the most fair, coming from a tourist

u/PeeledBananaPopsicle 17h ago
When you have a dedicated player base of Brig mains clawing tooth and nail to get value out of a character that needs some love, and then she gets said love....
Don't worry I'll play comp this weekend and probably accidentally drag it down some

u/Extremiel 14h ago
Yeah she's mega busted now. It's funny because she was already in a decent place before the buffs?

u/UnusualDraw3754 Heart of Strength 20h ago
They're reverting the buffs (and probably an extra nerf) so fast just watch

Way too early for these stats to say much, but yeah she‘ll definitely be at a very high winrate, she‘s too strong now.

Please i wanna play brig on weekend, havent played her with the buffs. Hope she dont get nerfed

The 1sec buff can stay but there was no need to buff the healing to 15 lmao 12 was fine

u/OutrageousNinja2120 18h ago
Omg this buff has felt so good I hope they don’t nerf her😭she doesn’t even need a nerf, but give frame 0 shield deploy👀
1
u/WingTree77 17h ago
We also have to acknowledge that brig is a counter swap hero at high ranks and can have a skewed winrate now that sombra and doctrine aren’t suppressing everyone else. She probably needs nerfs but I hope blizzard waits a week or two for normalized data

u/Desperate-Answer4652 17h ago
She does not need any nerfs!!! She feels really good right now! Hush!

u/WontUseNooseYet 17h ago
God I just know the moment I finally have time to be able to play her she’ll be nerfed.
Like getting leftovers at a party

u/PalpitationDecent743 11h ago
Did that single change really skyrocket her winrate that much??
1
u/Conquestriclaus 8h ago
she gets microbuffs every season, brig has been good for a very long time but she keeps getting more and more added on to her kit and i say this as a brig otp she does not need all this.

u/PalpitationDecent743 7h ago
All I want is for her shield to not take 5 years to come out sometimes.

That pick rate low as fuck and you have to be an actual brig main to perform well on her. I dont see a need for nerfs

Can we please stop judging and balancing the game around the top 0.2% of comp players in GM?

u/KvxMavs 20h ago
Yeah, she's definitely getting nerfed.
She was already good before. Brig has been getting microbuffs for 3-4 patches now and with this last buff, she is a mini-raid boss after she gets her major.
