Yes, I’m an actual Brig main. I will adapt to her new playstayle. I don’t mind that she’s more of a main healer and less brawly. However, the crux of her issue is about her new paper-thin shield.

I look at it from both a balance standpoint and a “fun” perspective as someone that actually mains Brigitte (which, by the statistics, is a hero not many people main).

On one hand, she heals more than before (even though on live, I heal about 8K per 10 so I didn’t have that issue) and her Whip Shot is much more rewarding. Her increase healing output helps compensate for the lack of sustain and tankiness. Balance-wise, it feels like the right direction to take with 2-2-2 coming up.

However, the fact that her shield doesn’t have a discernible function (outside of using it to shield bash) is an issue for me. She can’t use it to protect herself, to protect her healers, to help her front line, etc. Her lack of self-sustain is NOT fun. I feel like its harder to get into close to do the things Brigitte can (and should) do. No, the Whip Shot buff isn’t nearly enough to compensate. On live, she lack of range and lack of escapes as a support was overcome by her sustain. But the PTR Brig doesn't have range, escapes, or sustain.

Although I’m a Brigitte main, I don’t want her OP. All I’m asking is for her shield to be brought up to 400, so its something that can’t tank on the frontline, but can be used to close the gap to prog her healing or protect her teammate, and I don’t think that would make her overpowered.

I just wish that Blizzard would just acknowledge that and listen to ACTUAL Brigitte mains. My hours for the hero are in the triple digits in competitive and I’ll still play her and adapt, but it feels like Blizzard isn’t listening to me at all.
