The thing that is most ridiculous about the giga armored Zen was that the armor went UNDER his shield, so shields would just regen over the armor. You had to get through most of his health just to touch the armor and any remaining just had shield regen over it.
plus iirc the armor stacking was bugged so his shield health had the damage reduction ON TOP of his regenning shield
Yeah it wasnt fun
@@boodro8832 was that a bug? I always thought that was an intended interaction with armor, just when it existed the only extra armor came from torb scraps so it wasnt as huge a deal
I remember the Jjonak tank strat
@@Absinthexx7 no it was a bug. Shield health has no damage reduction typically, but since the armor stacked underneath the shield, it gave the shield the armor reduction with it
Cassidy's tips: Just use flashbang on anything.
Brig's tips: Just shield-bash everything.
It's almost like hard CC is the most powerful thing a character can have in a 1v1 lol

McCree
Consider that this character could almost combo a 200 health hero, survive almost as much as a tank, and heal everyone around you while doing it. It was broken.
And had favorable matchups against most tanks.
@@vopcracker3193Me: *Calling the insane asylum*
There is an quite delusional guy, could you take care of it.
@@vopcracker3193 ok I kinda thought you were a real person the first time but this is the same comment but even more schizo this time lmao bot
The insane part to me was that just by naturally playing the game, you could tell that Winston and Rein were invalidated by an ulting Brig.
Like I get being anti-dive, but they really let that slip to live servers?
@V$OP Cracker My guy, if you aren't a bot... you are either a baiter or need serious help. Either way you should not only take a break from overwatch but the internet as a whole. Half of the points you make are explainable with common logic, and even if you are right exclaiming it as fact with no proof or substantial evidence besides "just watch the streams you can tell" just comes of as unhinged. Maybe I'm to blame for expecting to much, but this sounds insane. If you are a real person take a break and go outside or get some help. Edit: the fact that you've not only posted this multiple times but also replied with the same comment here only makes my last sentence all the more important take a break brother.
The painful part of OG Brig was how long she was OP for. It had to have been well over a year that she absolutely terrorized the game. Probably closer to 2 years since she still saw a lot of play time in OWL even after role lock
She was a part of the goats meta so that's 2019, in 2020 she played a huge role for most of the season with dive and double shield comps, in 2021 she was a part of the ball comp and still remained the best support in the game. Yup, pretty much all Overwatch 1.
@@innixjeh Her demon days were definitely during the goats era lol but she was a part of every OW 1 meta like clockwork
She's literally the reason why OW2 is a thing in the first place. The devs didn't know how to balance her so they made role queue a thing to avoid goats, and then OW2 was announced because she singlehandedly killed the game.
@@supershadow7672 and they coulndt balance or make more tanks :/
9:48 the laughter of a madman reliving his trauma
Exactly what I thought lmao
bro he sounds like the clip of the joker dying from cancer 💀💀
@@GamingChair420 nahh 💀
I still remember the raid boss strat with brig, where you would nano rally and she was basically unkillable unless you booped her off the map
Still works now. Just a little weaker
But now Mauga exists and nanos mean nothing
Brig guide against every hero:
>Hero does anything?
>Literally anything?
>Stun bash'em!!!
Fuck 'em!
Brig being released really was Flats' Joker moment, huh?
of any tank main really
brig players were delusional enough to think anyone liked them at all. i mostly say it cus anytime anyone said brig was too much brig mains would lump and say she was skillful and that anyone who disagreed was automatically a "genji main"
@@polar6066 I will admit, switching from Zen to Brig made DPS players reconsider their life choices back in the day :)
Imagine the devs creating a support that can duell tanks and cancel every ult in the game and they think it's a good idea
They did the same with hog lol, and technically Sojourn cancels ults, you just headshot them as soon as they start to speak their ult line
@@aguyontheinternet8436 uh if you wanna say that oh rein can cancel widow like bruh it's not that it cancels ults it's the fact it's a sheild bash that cancels and can duel tanks solo literally rh is a tank he should have hard cc and sojourn isn't as bad with the hitbox changes
They have created an ability that can clean, heal, make you invincible, intangible, kick you out of the game, make coffee and dirty your entire family tree, all at the same time
@@enegar2536 But not with a 5 sec. cooldwon, combined with several other survival abilities, auto aim with self heal and 600 shield. A kiriko can´t shut down a reaper ult. Brig could shut it down or just tank it. That's a big difference.
Jeff said it himself, In WoW He came up with the idea of Druids being able to do a wide fvariety of things. Tanking, healing and DPS. Brig was supposed to carry on that idea but it failed horribly. I forget sometimes Overwatch was supposed to be an MMO, not an FPS............
I love the way this whole series is “Pepperidge farm remembers.” Gosh I’m so glad I didn’t have to play against release brig.
It was terrible. She was in this overpowered state for like a year and a half as well
As someone that played since day one, its so frustrating watching streamers mislead new players. The game was horrible BEFORE her release since yo could not do anything about dive heroes. They were far more oppressive, because they had no counter, while Brig had plenty.
@@lacke1-gz5qgMe when I purposefully spread misinformation on the internet
@@mayitakeyourhatsir8632 The man is all over the comment section acting like Brig didn't singlehandedly Thanos snap half the playerbase
I kinda wish I got to play _as_ release Brig. Controlling the entire match doesn't sound too shabby
I just want to know what the balance team was smoking when they launched her. A 400hp giga-brig with a 600hp shield was horrifying. Nano rally basically turned her into a WOW raid boss
I remember when Brig was just released... playing no limits was literally HELL
old brig tips was just stun and beat up people, if you're low then just shield and whip shot them away. Now that they removed the stun and actually balanced her, the new strat is just deny any dives and keep inspire procced
nope inspire was infinitely more important back then, now she has 3 pack charges and although the bonus armor from it is gone, ist healing is stronger. you should check out holyshiftkid's new brig guide
Edit: who tf likes and then unlikes a comment just to make me come back here. yall are weird mfs
seeing the KarQ glow up at the end really brings a tear to my eye
How the fuck did brig pass play testing 💀
I was a brig main during this time. While absolutely unfair, it was hilarious stunning coaels and 1 shoting tracers. I remember one of the earliest ways to counter goats was Mei if you didn't mirror, I remember realizing that brig was maybe too strong when I saw a soldier, Lucio and mercy together and instead of regrouping I rushed in and killed the soldier with the burst, even while being healed, and forced both supports to abandon cart. Those days were amazing and I am glad that I played overwatch during the time. The flail jump bug was amazing on horizon lunar colony.
I hope you know that everyone was suffering while you were having your fun lol
Dude, same, I was a brig main during that time too and it was so hilarious and ridiculous 😂.
I was a Brig main when she came out, and I had to stop playing her when I realized how broken and unfun to play against she was.
I like to imagine the statistics of how many people quit the game permanently cuz of my gameplay lol
I was one of those brig mains too, I miss the glory days, she was too much fun. I played her so much at that time that to this day, she remains my most played character
I agree, it was nice getting one over dps mains after years of abuse 😂
I do miss getting into slap fights with Rein.
The trauma.😨 Not only did I see an old Brig, but for a second I saw an old Orisa. Brig, goats, double shield meta.😭
Wait the Molten Core change came after Micro Missiles? I could have sworn it was the other way around. Apparently not.
the molten core change was introduced to counter Goats and Brig specifically. That's why molten core does bonus damage to armor, to eat the rally armor.
@@blackm4niac And to this day torb is still a counter to brig
molten core was changed in the second half of 2018, while micro missiles were added in the second half of 2017 along with the mercy rework
@@aguyontheinternet8436 is he? Idk I wouldn't say all that
Probably because he still screamed ‘molten core’ back in the old ult days.
ah yes. the moment in ow history where we bowed at brigs feet. got her gold in this time and peaked masters.
I remember the season I frauded my way to T500 with brig, and a few seasons after that did the same with Orisa.
Natural rank was like high Masters support and low masters tank, so I get the whole “carried by your character”.
I was a Tracer main back in OW1 and to this day she still gives me PTSD.
I remember there was an aimbotcalvin clip of him getting booped around as rein on Oasis before he got his passive buff. The enemy team was made up of a doom, brig and road hog. Truly the dark age of OW
I wasn't playing before 2020 so this Brig didn't exist. So glad I missed that time.
Challenge rein in a swing duel lmaoooo 9:42
Ah yes, back when Brigitte was perfectly balanced
so basically in the past both dps and tank had to pray when they saw Brig
No, the game was very different back then. Brig was really slow back then, and anything with a gun countered her. Also there were two tanks.
@@lacke1-gz5qg Anything with a gun? you do realize she made the entire dps roster useless and forced us all to play GOATS for over a year right. Brig countered EVERYONE
@@judebrown3588 lol, "useless"? So why was dps still the by far most played role then? Why did they still have the highest pick rate?
Streamers have gaslight you about what people played back then. GOATS was not a thing outside OWL and GM.
The devs literally had a name for that delusion that "Brig countered everything". They called it "forum Brig", since that version only existed in social media.
@@lacke1-gz5qg blud did NOT play back then
@@judebrown3588 That wasn't Brig specifically. If anything, Zen and Lucio were bigger contributors to GOATS than Brig was.
The amount of ults you could easily cancel or counter with her base kit is insane, and on top of that you have her rally.
Fun fact, Brig's current rally armor actually has bugged calculations. More specifically, she has Bastion's health pool, i.e. is missing 50 armor. The most obvious example is that she should be able to survive pulse bomb with about 15 HP, but she can't. Also, she can still duel a Winston no problem, he just doesn't do enough damage on his own to be scary to Brig. You can also still deny his dives, but it's much tighter thanks to the passive.
As someone who plays a fair bit of Winston the Brig matchup is actually really interesting. If you land his jump + melees as opposed to straight telsa cannon it is possible to win the duel but it’s very tight. And you basically have to focus her first otherwise she can heal pack her other squishies or boop you away
So if someone ults just shield bash
Yes!
Same was true for Cass' flashbang
The best part of 1v1ing the Rein is she didn't have to use her abilities. She just smacked him into oblivion like it was nothing
People in the chat talking about bringing her back. They do not understand what it was like to play against her with any other character...
imo they should bring back the stun, but that's about it. Without her stun, she's not the Peel goddess she used to be. Today if a Genji dives your Ana, whipshot and hope he sucks because that's about all you can do now. She used to have all this utility, but now she's literally just Proc Inspire --> Dash Away repeat until game is over. The way you carry as Brig today is literally just staying alive...
@@derpyduck5088 Not true, repair packs are OP, she can basically keep that Ana alive forever
@@derpyduck5088 she is a melee hero, what do you expect, to be able to have the same flexibility as a long range character.
If Ana
1) misses her sleep
2) misses her anti nade and basic shot
3) her brig misses whipshot
That Ana deserves to die in that team fight.
Your tanks job is to make space and peel for your backline if they’re in danger since otherwise they won’t have the healing output to sustain a fight.
And if a genji (no nano) dashes in and uses his blade, an Ana left click and nade and whipshot should kill him.
People completely underrate how hard it is for a genji to time his double jump perfectly, 180 accurately and dash behind an enemy to not be hit (still vulnerable no shield to hide behind and risking his life and ultimate).
If people think that a stun to completely deny that and remove the need for good positioning idk what to say
@@derpyduck5088 to be fair I understand brig is not an overall fun character for most since it’s whip shot, hide, repeat
But besides a complete rework, her abilities stack up and can become really potent with too many buffs
@@derpyduck5088 No. They should not. It took over 20 straight nerfs to bring her back to a balanced state. Don't touch the monster.
When I first started overwatch I played Brigitte (I had no idea what any of the characters were) and Lucio. I was platinum when I really should’ve been silver. She carried me two entire ranks my FIRST EVER season of competitive.
12:34 omg old Lucio ult voice line
Let’s drop the beat
I got second hand PTSD after watching brig commit war crimes
I love how COMICALLY overpowered she was. Like Moth Mercy was insanely OP, but Brig was so OP that it became like comedic how far it went.
"Oh yeah this new character has one of the highest non-tank HP pools and with a 600 HP barrier, can one shot tracer consistently, has a 5 second damaging stun from shield, has a passive heal for her and her teammates, can give her teammates armor while healing them, has a ranged knockback that triggers her healing, has an ult that counters most ults in the game, can reliably 1v1 several tanks even without her ult, her ult puts armor under shields so that health can be regained, her armor persists after teamfights, her armor has a miscalculation in game that makes it even more effective than normal armor, she can safely stun through shields, her shield bash interacts with map geometry to allow her to do super jumps, a bug in her kit allows her to use her flail to fling herself forward, her stun counters most other stuns in the game, her cooldowns are all super low, her ult charge rate is fairly fast, her ult also grants a movement speed boost.... and all this is for a support".
Like c'mon, as traumatic as those days are you gotta admit how incredibly fucking funny it is that a character existed with THAT much going for them. It's like if they made Doomfist at launch have his rocket punch insta-kill anyone it hits and also he has CC immunity and 90% damage reduction when charging it also he gets 100 shields whenever he lands it and it's on a one second cooldown. At some point it's just absurdity.
The fact that most of these tips were just to shield bash is super telling
Brig was just a rein that could heal, stun and a small hit box.
Change my mind
I don't think Flats noticed Karq was in chat 😂.
I love how the heroes are listed
“Damage - defense - tank - support” on the top
Theres alot of pain behind those laughs
brig is just so cursed in every way I remember even at the end of original OW her main focus in lower elo was see the monke send him to the fkn moon ever time he pushes you
i love old flats in the thumbnails
Broken Brig was terrifying
Does anyone else remember that like two week perjod where they gave bastion like 1000 shields
"you where at the mercy of your brig vs their brig" well, now I'm at the mercy of my widow vs their widow, or my tank vs their tank
the ability to challenge rein during rally was bs though
I had a flight response when brig shield bashed genji
9:45 thats the laugh of a man who was in pain and started going insane
Old brig with Nano was so scary
Bro flats laughing like joker
Flats in the old man who see the horrors of war.
instant armor packs and shields sitting over armor. Completely forgot how broken that was at the time lmao i'm dying of laughter xD
I still have nightmares
I wasn't there for PRIME brig but oh boy do I still feel the ptsd for the few moments I did play overwatch after she was "nerfed"
I remember battling a Winston when she first came out and winning a 1v1, with both of us at full health 😂
This video gave me PTSD and I didn't even play OW1
You can move the dva mech as it's ulting with things like hog hook and rein charge I've done it to save my team from da bomb
The Brig being a mini Rein wouldn’t be as bad today because of the one tank. Tank dies then Brig can step up or if you have an off tank then you can give them room to do what they do.
The fact that the only way Zen wins the 1v1 is if he gets 3 headshots in a row 💀
This triggerd the kind of PTSD in me that i didnt know i have
Brig was the reason I quit overwatch. I still come back occasionally like how I've got the itch now but I'm a casual through and through. I've since never gotten the same drive to play as before brig. I'd be impressed if I completed a third of the bp.
That's pretty cool. I didn't know about any of this. I didn't play her in the first game.
My friend just looked over my shoulder, clicked on this video, and said "LOL. Two for one special." 😂
as a old rein main that bridgitte was an absolute menace
i still can’t get over bri-gee-tay
I want a whole stream of old flats plzzzz
“Just one bad day”
Seeing her bash through Rein's shield and stun him... I loved playing her back then, but she was just the filthiest.
Because of how often she was used it made playing Reaper almost impossible. You didn't get life steal off of shooting her shield, and your ultimate is just completely negated by the shield bash.
1:11 it's a bird, it's a plane no it's just brig.
I watch these when they came out
7:40 that was so frustrating
Super yelling at the ana and her telling him to chill the fuck out😂
Just wanna say real quick...
Your laugh is incredible. Reminds me of Bob
i just started the video and saw that hp bar and shield health and was like NOPE i dont wanna remember that
It almost gave me Anubis level ptsd
before when shield bash could stun a shielded rien that battle turned form rien v rien mind games to brig v brig mind games with their respective riens praying that their brig comes out on top
yall, i am having brig ptsd flashbacks cause of this. this is the exact reason why brig was banned in my 1v1's with my friends,,, one of which was a brig main
As someone that's always been a Brig enjoyer, this was the equivalent of a high school jock remembering his college football days in his 30s.
The good old days. For the Brigg enjoyer anyway LOL. She was so wild on launch, I hope newer OW2 players never have to experience a character as dominant as her on launch ever.
Sojourn. Though people at launch didn't quite grasp her power yet.
@@tau-5794 not at all, ill take anything and ANYTHING else except brigette
@@tau-5794 how can u compare the two
Lol remember watching the same vid when it was posted. Good times 😂
considering how far they lowered her value, and shes still good. Her launch version was just insane
I remember when brig came out and using her first game and being able to 2v1 DPS up close easy
We love out boy KarQ the goat
Their were several points here that I thought flats was just going to tern into the joker.
"You wanna know how I got these scars? A brig whipped me"
brig was different OP. As an OG rein main it was a nightmare
scarlet fire jumpscare
I remember how almosy every potg was just brig rolling the enemy team.... ow1 was scary dude
I love KarQ in the chat at the end.
1:30
I have a question, for god..
WHY ?!
it's funny how this ONE CHARACTER made the whole game have a new identity
A coincidence that shortly after Briggs release I stopped playing in 2018 until overwatch 2.
Also a coincidence I was a tracer main at the time. I remember quite literally being helpless
Played ow1 off and on, never knew she was OP. I did play during GOAT meta and never actually knew she was part of the reason for making the goat format op.
I forgot sym was still a support when brig released i always thought she got the dps rework before brig. That's a new Mandela effect for me
Oh God..... THE PTSD!!!! I DON'T WANNA GO BACK!!!!!!
I am so glad I stopped playing for a while before brig came out and then came back for Sig
Bro I remember fit Aspen OMG
5:30 so damn true man
rewatching this with flats made me hyperventilate
I remember I used my Brig ult right before i was frozen with Meis so im pretty sure my team didnt die.. Or at least most lived.
The old flats thumbnails are too convincing lol
This was a fun trip down (repressed) memory lane
I feel like I saw this video 3 times
Killing a tracer with that combo is still possible without stub, just the damage from the bash even if it doesn’t stun as long as you are fast.
