And he is really good. They are trying a lot of interesting compositions. He is still learning in the fist VOD though.
VODs so far:

he's playing her as a dps and it seems to be working pretty well but he's up against some gm so it's not fair.
Yeah, but since she seems to be replacing a DPS spot in those scrims and she has to hit in order to heal, it is only fair. She basically plays like a zarya from what I've seen.
she also has a bubblelike ability
Bubble does a ton of stuff, all Brigitte's ability does is heal and overheal goes to temporary armor.
ok? he said bubble-like, which is true. most situations where a bubble would be good the armor pack would be just as good.
As a front line support in makes sense that it's played as dps
She?
Im looking at the right video? im seeing some guy
The hero, not the streamer.
hahaha oh shit
Looks like a solid playstyle especially with 2 other supports, probably slow it down a bit otherwise. I think he could be getting a lot more out of her E, it's up so fast but he kinda tunnel visions instead of using it. Will definitely take some time to get used to the rythms of her cooldowns but she seems awesome.
In the ladder she's gonna be more off support unless you're in a group. Most dps players will still consider her the healer and pick dps
I think so too. Paired with a Moira/Ana/Mercy and probably used more on defense is my guess.
Had a lot of success running moira/bri/zen and one beefy tank like rein/orisa. Moira covers the rein/orisa and bri protects and peels for zen while he rains discords. 350 hp armored zen can fuck some shit up.
he's playing her as a dps
Please no.
She heals automatically when she dps’s, so it’s not like dps Moira. Really, she should dps and peel, throw those clutch repair packs.
So they’re playing 2 other supports as well? Can’t watch the vod now.
Wym, those were QUALITY pugs, and i am an EXCELLENT team captain
Don't judge me wasting my ult and getting knocked off on Eichenwalde.
Don't tell me how to live my life, sir.
Good to see a one trick pharah playing something else in pugs.

Always nice to watch my favorite "Elite Canadian Gamer" in action.
Looking at this. I feel that Brigitte's health/armor ability should give the receiving player a visual and auditory cue similar to how Zaryas bubble also gives those. Knowing when you have armor and when its gone is kind of important.
The way I see it, she doesn't even feel like a support at all. Her optimal style is DPS-offtank in a deathball comp, but in no way would I want to sacrifice a support for her. It works pretty good in his matches because of this, but I'd be curious how it goes when he one-tricks Brigitte in less optimal team comps where people consider her a support.
I wouldn’t say that at all, him getting 12k healing and 8k armor on Blizzworld and either bronze or no medal in damage in 2 rounds is support tank status.
That said, Brigitte seems to fill every single role except for dps. Defensive capabilities, tanking abilities, healing, armor, knock backs.
Is that the TF2 player?
Yep
You know the pugs had dropped in quality when I was on MT
Eeveea if you wanna see a support play her is streaming her
Eeveea is a joke
why all the hate? eeveea has been top 500 every season, solo queue
The ppl on this sub are obnoxious. Downvoting because ppl mention eevea because they have a distinct hate towards a character.
Mercy 1 trick in t500 < diamond genji player
If you would actually let me speak she has been really enjoying the new hero and actually might start playing her on her Main
Mercy1 trick plays McCree on Alt is better than you
yea ok. arent you named after a lucio main. tiny bit hypocritical yea?
That's not a very fair statement. As a support main myself I looked to EeveeA when new mercy was first released and it was great watching someone who actually knew how to work Mercy's movement into her playstyle really well.
I don't like playing mercy but watching her play at least made me respect mercy players and EeveeA because she was nothing but pleasent (maybe a lil salty but who isn't on comp) when I watched.
So get that hate out of this subreddit please, Mercy meta is over.
Nice. Ppl who up vote this are mean as hell
Isn't Eeveea a mercy one trick?
She plays other stuff, but on her main she plays mostly mercy.
on her alt account, she hovers around plat/diamond when she isn't playing mercy
Not support. On her alt she is offtank dps.
Isn't he a dude?
She is trans now
Came out as trans so people refer to him as she. Unsure if he fully transitioned or is in the process of transitioning so could still be a dude atm.
Good lord, this sub is so hateful lol
Ye but most of the hate isn’t exactly wrong. Eevee may be good to watch for mercy gameplay, but you’re better off watching a low masters player try out the new hero if you want to learn anything
Better than r/Overwatch
“Support”
OMEGALUL
thanks you really nice content
I've watched a lot of Brigitte play over the last couple of days. The largest thing that strikes me is that 3rd person camera for her shield is unnecessary. With how snappy her shield deploy is, a lot of people have been finding the swap to third person view jarring. Her shield's blockbox isn't any larger than genji's deflect, so the 3rd person view seems pointless. Especially when the way she's best played she's frequently switching between shield and no shield.
I played her quite a bit on PTR, I don't find the shield deploy jarring at all personally. I'm the one in control of the button how could it jar me?
I agree. I actually like the 3rd person switch on the shield.
Same.
Yeah it's there for the same reason Reinhardt has third person -- so you can make sure you're covering people behind you.
People in chat on the streams I was watching were complaining about it a lot, I haven't played her personally.
The alternative is staring through a blue haze and not being able to see your surroundings with 3rd cam. Not sure if that's a good trade.
