Brigitte Balance Changes

She only has one movement tool, so it should get her to safety or land a hit more reliably — at the cost of her free armour healing taking longer to land.

Balance Philosophy

For each hero in B and C tier, slightly buff one part of the kit and slightly nerf another. The goal is to reduce the unfair parts of a hero while lessening their weaknesses.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Shield Bash

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    Maximum range increased to 10 meters.
    Current issue
    Brigitte has only one movement tool.
  2. Repair Pack

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Travel speed reduced to 35 m/s.
    Reason
    Her free healing through armour packs takes a little longer to reach full value.
