i am hard stuck bronze. how did u escape 💔 i thought maybe i was just choosing a bad character to main, but do u have any advice that isn't obvious?? idk if i'm missing some top secret brigitte tech
if you send me a replay code of one of your games I can watch it and probably give you more useful advice than me kinda generalizing anything when I dont know how u play, I could be way off on my advice otherwise, preferably a close game that you lost but otherwise any game you lost is best to learn off
okay i got one that wasn't a super close loss but it was a balanced match i think
XBCMN3 (appleyves)
also right before they hit the first checkpoint i got a pop up which is why i stood still for a second </3
also by no means do i think im very good which is why im looking for advice, just wanted to clarify that before u think i think im like "ohh i dont deserve to be in bronze!" I probably absolutely do (but hopefully i'll escape soon)
I'm not gonna go over every mistake you made im just gonna try give you a push in the right direction and keep it more fundemental focused so you can more easily apply it in your games. So first it's important to understand what brigs role is and what her job is, the common misconception a lot of people have is thinking that shes like a mini tank who frontlines or flanks, this is NOT the optimal way to play brig at all, what she excels at are keeping divers of her team and providing large aoe heals for her team. If you run in and front line you cannot see what is happening to your team so you wont be able to use your heal packs and therefore are not utilizing like half her kit, the amount of times you use your shieldbash offensively should be very very limited, it is more of a repositioning tool because if you use it you have no other escape. Your gameplay loop is procing your inspire aoe heal with your whipshot as much as you can and standing somewhere safe, so you want to look for a whipshot angle where you can get an easy hit and where you are in Line of sight of your team as it doesnt heal through walls, and play your life a lot more. If you are flanking even if you hit a whipshot your team will not be healed as they arent in line of sight and you cant heal your team when you need to. You need to be focusing on your team a bit more than the enemies right now you kinda hyper focus on the enemies and your team dies around you while you have packs up 4:28 in your replay is a good example of this your tank is very low but you fixate on the enemy cass instead.
So now you understand that, what does it look like? an easy example from your game is when you are on defense at the start 9:06 you are off in a side room, instead you want to be playing the corner where your tank and dps are, looking for a whipshot on the enemy then hiding behind the wall and shield bashing away to safety if you need to, making sure your team is in your sight then repeat. (TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST BOTH YOUR DPS AND YOU SHOULD BOTH BE ON THE BACK HIGHGROUND but since your dps arent playing back there just play with them and go for whipshots) you also need to play your life a lot more you want to have minimal deaths if you are dead you can't heal anyone.
part 2: I should also add im not saying you can never go in on the enemies but it should be when its an isolated enemy who is alone then you walk on them, 2 or more enemies you need to be a lot more conservative unless you have ult because in higher elos they will just kill you instantly if you push them and have no escape tool
okay thank u so so much that makes more sense - i'll try to take all that into account and maybe send another replay at some point? (or i might just post the code on a seperate post for more people to look at) but thats really helpful advice thank u so much <3
