I’ve put another 10+ hours on Brigitte in QP. Granted this is QP, so team comp are not always the best, communication pretty much non existant, etc...
I’ve said before that I thought she can be a beast in some situation, and useless in others. I'll revise that somewhat.
This is based on my personal experience only.
I think we have another Moira. She'll most likely see tons of play in lower rank due to her being mechanically easy to play. She’s extremely good on 1 vs 1, probably superior to Moira even. Can put out decent healing, in my experience constantly higher than Zenyetta, that’s not even counting the shield she provides and the damage that mititigates althoughy not all the shields are being used some of it will wear off without mitigating anything. She dishes out very good damage, gets lots of kills, an boop you off the map so she will appeal to a lot of people.
In pro or higher rank she will most likely see the same type of play Moira does, very little and situational.
She isn’t as bad as I first thought, you can have awful experience with her but not that often, as I said at low rank she’ll be another Moria, played everywhere and in all team comp, and for the most part, like Moira it will work out even though it might not be the best choice.
She’s kind of good if the other isn’t coordinated, and on your end all you have to do is follow the tank and that’s usually good enough. As I said on platinum and under where coordination isn’t great she will do just fine.
Her repair pack is really good, it’s an excellent heal although the cooldown is long, 75 armour put on a Genji before he blades, or a Reaper before he death blossoms can make a big difference.
Her ultimate will be nerfed for sure, the armour will decay. Using her ultimate in a fight and finishing the fight with your team having an extra 150 armour almost means you’ll win the next fight also, having a 300 hp Tracer running around is ridiculous.
The bottom line is she is fun to play.
For myself, who likes to play support, she will definitely be added to my support pool with Moira and Zenyetta. That should pretty much gives me a good support for any situation...although Zenyetta does that on his own. The problem at lower rank is without help from your team, playing Zen can be frustrating if they don’t peel from you and protect you. Moira and Brigitte are good on their own, which is what makes them appealing I think.
