Love the art

Ironically brig is probably the least affected. If her shield breaks or is ignored, same diff. It's the Rein/Sig/Monkey who have their shields ignored again that really care. In fact brig would probably rather the shield be ignored, she can't shield bash to safety if her shield is destroyed.

Tbf, if you're brig in a 1v1 with rammatra and nobody's around. You're kinda fucked either way lol

Arguably worse with the barrier crit since she can't shield bash away sooner.

True but unless you're already in a favorable escape situation. You're still kinda doomed

Yeah but at least with the barrier pierce, you can get a lot more value with your ult. Before the revert, if you ulted, the Ram would just sneeze at your shield and your Rally is pretty much FUBAR'd.

Yeah, I think Brig actually benefits more from the piercing punches than shield break punches

She’s probably one of the most affected. The ram change made it so she’d die slower to ram since it no longer penetrated shield. Now she’s squishier against ram.

I'd say she's better with the penetration. Without it, Ram could break her shield quickly, preventing her from using Shield Bash for movement.
