We have 22933 Birgit, 646 Birgitte and 911 Brigitte in Sweden. WHY was she not named Birgit, as it's the BY FAR most common spelling, I don't get it. Torbjörn is spelled correct. As a swede, this annoys me more then it prolly should :P
Anyway, I think Brigitte is a fun addition to the game, but her interupt, the shield slam, does need a bit of a nerf, as it counters too much.
And the whole Hybrid idea, I am not sure I like it. It's a cool idea, but for competitive games and proper team setups, I can't think of many scenarios where Moira or Brigitte could match the healing of a Mercy, Lucio, Zenyatta or Ana. Cause even though they are hybrids, their main role would be healer. There is NO possibly chance they could match a Tracer, Soldier or Genji DPS wise and Brigitte is no where near matching ANY of the tanks. So they would take a heal spot, and can Moira or Brigitte match the other healers? In my book, no, they can't. So, while they are fun, I am not sure I think hybrids belong in this game, from a competitive point of view where team comp 2-2-2 is vital.
