Brutal Brigitte glitch leaves her useless against certain Overwatch 2 heroes

Brigitte’s Rocket Flail has been accidentally nerfed by a brutal new glitch that seems to occur whenever an opponent changes forms in Overwatch 2. Whenever the bug activates—and it has been a lot this week—the support hero’s melee attack only hits their prior shape and misses almost all changes to their enemy.

Heroes like Bastion and Ramattra, who have the ability to change forms in Overwatch matches depending on their abilities, are the ones benefitting the most right now. For instance, when Bastion morphs into his tank form via an ability, Brigitte’s melee attack will now miss, especially when aiming incorrectly. She is still able to hit where his head was before though, as shown in a video shared on Reddit on June 25.
