Does Brigitte Already Need a Nerf?


Brigitte has only been in the competitive rotation for roughly a week now, but she has definitely made an impact. Let's take a look at some of her competitive statistics so far and why she has become a game changer for Overwatch players.

Stats

These statistics are from this week in Season 10 in competitive matchmaking.
  • Brigitte has the second highest win rate of all the heroes at 57.33% right behind Symmetra. 
  • She has the highest On Fire percentage at 25.44% which is a huge 8% above the runner up.
  • She has the highest pick rate of  9.73% which is normal for a new hero.

Damage

  • Primary attack (Rocket Flail) does 70 damage every 1.1 seconds.
  • Whip Shot does 70 damage on a 4 second cooldown.
  • Shield Bash does 50 damage on a 5 second cooldown.

Healing

  • While attacking with her flail she heals allies in a 20 meter radius 16 health per second.
  • Her Repair Pack ability heals an additional 150 health (up to 75 armor over max health) on a 6 second cooldown. 

Defense

  • Has 200 Health and 50 armor (250 Total)
  • Barrier Shield has 600 health

Overview 

With these kind of stats it's easy to see why Brigitte has such a high pick rate. Not to mention her ability to stop ults with Shield Bash, and the 20 meter distance on her Whip Shot, which also has a 5-10 meter knockback. She is really a jack of all trades which explains the high win rating. When you have this much versatility you're able to do well with most team comps. It's still pretty early in the season to get a real grasp on things, but our girl definitely came in with a bang.
