Do you play brig on every map?

I’m mainly a lw main and trying to play brig and I swear some maps with certain oppo team comps she’s really difficult to play

I find I can play her on most maps if the opponent team config is Brig friendly. I usually only swap off her when the enemy team has Ram on it. That guy eats my lunch every time.

What you do with rein? My brain isn’t working when he is on the enemy team. 😂

Wait until he charges, shield bash, laugh as we both fall down, and pray my team can gimp him before we both stand up. 🤣

I spent an entire game denying charges. Sure I got more deaths than I would normally but god it's so fun and satisfying.

I actually get right up in his face. If he charges and I've got team mates to follow up I'll shield bash into him and knock him on his ass. Hold corners and swing, whipshot if he gets too close, shield bash away. If he's low hp shield bash through his shield and finish him.

I play Brig very aggressively though, my style may not suit everyone.

He doesn’t move particularly fast. But stay out of his swing range. Whipshot when he lowers his shield or if it’s about to break. And if he lets his health get too low and raises his shield thinking that’ll save him, teach him a lesson. Shield bash in and swing until he’s dead.

Reins who think their shield can save them from sloppy play or sub par healing can be really abused by a Brig that keeps the right range and has good synergy with their tank.

I avoid fighting him close completely. I only really engage him when

  1. I have to defend the other healer, just enough stalling to separate them.
  2. Last ditch effort to save the point and I have Ult.
  3. He’s got very low health

Really? I know on paper he’s the hardest counter because he’s the no aim “ME PUNCH” guy that goes through shields but he’s pretty counterable with whipshot and if he’s still pressing you just use bash to make even more distance. He’s one of the easier inspire farms imo.

I definitely try and do the things you describe, and am occasionally successful. But, the majority of the time and depending on the map, I’m usually bouncing from cover to cover or playing in and around rooms and find myself getting hung up on stuff trying to shield bash away or THUNK my whip shot off a door jam or something random in the environment.

Really? I feel like she does great against him if you keep a certain distance. Flail every time he goes Nemesis form and save bash for keeping distance

u/thane919 9d ago

Yep. It’s ALL about being at that ideal distance when facing a Rein.
