Counters and matchups:

Bad against:

Illidan: Dive and Sweeping Strike allows Illidan to surpass the Barrier Shield and kill Brigitte easily. Evade also prevents Brigitte from activating Inspire by using basic attacks.
Gul'dan: Since he got so many damage-overtime abilities, Brigitte will be highly reliant on Repair Pack which has a long cooldown.
Lunara: Similar to Gul'dan, not only she has so many damage-overtime methods but she also got Leaping Strike which allows her to reach Brigitte's behind, completely avoiding Barrier Shield.

Others:
-Heroes with damage overtime abilities.
-Heroes that can avoid Barrier Shield
-Heroes with high mobility.

Good against:

Nova: If the player is reflexive enough, Barrier Shield can easily counter Snipe.

Tips and gameplay:

Playing as Brigitte:


Brigitte is a tank-like healer who can heal her allies from both close range and afar. Try to keep close to your allies to heal them with Inspire. If they are far from your reach, use Repair Pack to heal them from afar. Make sure to use Shield Bash precisely due to its long cooldown.

Playing against Brigitte:


While Brigitte is a healer, she is also able to take on enemies by herself. So be careful. Try to keep her away from her allies so she becomes unable to heal them with Inspire. Do not waste your powerful non-piercing abilities on her since she can block them with Barrier Shield.
