BRIGITTE HERO COUNTERS
Brigitte thrives in close-range brawls where Shield Bash and Rocket Flail proc Inspire healing for her team. The counter is refusing to fight on her terms. Play outside Rocket Flail range (6 meters) and she can't trigger Inspire at all, cutting her healing output to almost nothing. Ranged poke and aerial heroes make her walk forward into your damage or stand around doing nothing.
Brigitte's top counters are Kiriko, Emre, and Cassidy.

Pharah, Cassidy, and Junkrat all punish Brigitte by fighting outside her effective range. Pharah rains rockets from the sky where Rocket Flail and Shield Bash can't reach. Cassidy Magnetic Grenade slows her advance and Peacekeeper headshots chunk through her small HP pool. Junkrat grenades arc over her shield from angles she can't block.
Brigitte sits at D Tier right now with a 49.8% win rate and 4.0% pick rate across all ranks. Below average in the current patch. You can still win with Brigitte but the meta favors other supports.
Stay out of melee range. Brigitte does nothing at 10+ meters. Rocket Flail reaches 6 meters, Whip Shot is her only ranged tool and it's a single projectile on a cooldown. If your team plays at mid-range, she has to walk into your crossfire to get any value at all.
Tiny shield with only 300 HP that breaks in about two seconds of focused fire. Once Barrier Shield is gone, Brigitte is a 200 HP support with no ranged damage and no escape. She also provides almost zero healing if she can't hit enemies to trigger Inspire.
Reinhardt outswings her. His hammer does 85 damage per swing versus her 35, and Earthshatter goes through Shield Bash. D.Va ignores her shield entirely with boosters and pressures her with Micro Missiles from angles her barrier can't cover. Zarya beam burns through the 300 HP shield in seconds.
Pharah is the hardest counter in the game for Brigitte. Rockets hit from above where no melee hero can respond. Emre three-round burst drops her before Shield Bash range, and Cassidy Magnetic Grenade prevents her from closing distance.
Kiriko Protection Suzu cleanses Shield Bash stun and Kitsune Rush lets teammates kite away from brawl range. Juno works too because Glide Boost repositions the team faster than Brigitte can chase on foot.
