this used to be my fav map but it's gotten so exhausting playing this in comp over and over pls (also what happened to not getting the same map in the rotation for a while)

edit: i did vote for njc after the screenshot but it was a landslide

First I'd like to say I actually think brig is in a good spot right now and doesn't need a buff this massive, I only propose this because her kit was made with the stun in mind and now that she doesn't have it it feels like something is missing from her, shield bash feels like an unfinished ability.

so how should they go about it? giving her the stun back for free on shield bash is obviously a bad idea,

she will just terrorize overwatch again.

well, luckily for brig we are in an era of overwatch where perks are a thing, take mercy's flash heal and reaper's dire triggers as an example. Both perks give the characters an extra ability cooldown that gives them more power (and apparently flash heal is gonna become base kit too, idk about the reaper one) So then why can't brigitte have the same ?

Give brigitte her shield bash stun as a major perk with the same functionality as flash heal and dire triggers, meaning that rather than it being activated on shield bash use, just give her an extra ability that "powers up" her next shield bash with a stun on a long cooldown, and give it a visual indicator for both brig and the other players to let them know.

Would that really be broken ? a stun that not only is tied to a major perk but also on a very long cooldown, and on top of that has a visual indicator. Why can't she have that ?

it doesn't even need to be a stun they can make shield bash stronger in so many ways, to name a few:

- make it hinders

- slows enemies on hit

- repairs on successful hit

- stronger knockback.

any of these would make brig feel better to play and give a meaning to her shield bash rather than just a reposition ability. I'd even argue some of them can work as base kit too.

Please blizzard, just try it and give some love to her shield bash, I know her reputation is making you scared to even dare give her that stun in stadium, the mode where kiri can have TWO SUZUS, and I understand why, but in today's overwatch you can always experiment with the perks and see if it works or not.
