Mains stick to the philosophy of “No Pain, No Gain.” That’s the energy with which Blizzard’s very own Overwatch Twitter account posted a recent update about armored support. The tweet bears a flex emoji and a bandage (for healing) and prompts fans to guess their preferred “keeping-teammates-alive” support hero.
Brigitte focuses on melee combat and swings her flail like she has a personal vendetta against the enemy team. At the same time, she has always been a very contentious hero. Some players love her for her hybrid style of fighting and healing, while others argue she is either clipped or oppressive, depending on the current meta. One thing is for sure, though: Brig mains aren’t just about healing; they lay down some punishment on the way to healing their teammates.
This tweet wasn’t used to pass sensational news or announce balance changes; it was a simple prompt to get people chatting. But weirdly, there were no replies to be found upon checking. Is everyone too busy playing Brigitte instead of tweeting about it? Or has the entire Overwatch fandom been dumbstruck by the sheer power of that flex emoji to even reply?
In any case, this is a nice little shoutout for one of the most unique support heroes in the game. Brigitte’s whole being thrives for “in-your-face” positioning; her Inspire passive heals allies by her land hits. So you better get in their faces or you’re not playing her right. No pain, no gain for her, huh?
Other supports have their own flavors-Mercy has that smooth glide-and-heal combo, Ana’s all about precision sniping with her biotic rifle, and Lucio… well, he just vibes on the walls while his music does the work for him. Brigitte? Circus. Healing is a full-contact sport.
Overwatch fans-what’s your flavor of support healing? Are you Brigitte enjoyers who live by the brawl? Or do you go for the more traditional backline healers? Let us know, if you can tear yourselves away to type.
Finally, don’t miss out on the exciting Overwatch 2 x Le Sserafim livestream event coming soon!
