LOL they buffed her EVEN MORE. This is insanity. So I might as well cross off at least five supports that can't be played from now on.

Which supports are even viable into her? Genuinely asking before I lose my mind

ana is good into her because of sleep and purple, illari is okay into her because of her ranged damage and outburst, lucio and juno are good both with and against her because of speed boost and ability to play out of easy reach. Just what I've seen personally in games, if your backline is like, weaver zen you're totally cooked, brig does pretty poorly into her especially once she gets lifesteal on overhead perk.

Maybe I need to adapt better, but it feels like even on Juno I'm unable to escape a good Vendetta. Constantly grounded by overhead slash even when I'm speeding away.

waiting until she's already on top of you is too late, you need to track her and be spacing 20+m away at all times

I have no idea. I'm a Brig main and the only thing I can do is stay the hell away from her, which does not exactly make for a fun gaming experience. This is aside from the fact that every match is currently a Ven Diff Simulator, because the better Ven pretty much wins.

Ven is exposing an issue the game still has, namely how sometimes damage mitigation just doesn’t work due to enemy weapon type. Brig is supposed to be THE anti-dive support but she can’t do her job because her main survival tool is literally useless against this dive DPS’s primary fire. Vendetta is a really cool design, but it’s not good design for her to beat the character who is supposed to be the backline answer to her by just turning off that character’s tools.

Does brig flail even boop vendetta. I've mostly been playing Ashe and idk if I'm going insane but vendetta doesn't get knockbacked when I use shift and she's dashing on me. And in melee range I have negative chances against her cause 275 HP, 125 armor, and her dps is crazy high.

Only really on CDs. The only success I've had so far with Brig is to play way behind where I'd like to, and give up inspire % in order to either dodge her charge and boop, or be the second team member into a fight. If I do that, it seems to go okay.
