The developers explained in the patch notes: “Brigitte was a likely candidate when looking at close range heroes to receive a health adjustment while experimenting with 25 HP increments. This ended up being too powerful when combined with her self-healing and barrier.”

Did Brigitte get nerfed?

Blizzard just nerfed one of the game's most widely reviled heroes. Just a few weeks after it bumped up the base health of Brigitte, Blizzard has reverted the change.

Is Brigitte overpowered?

Now, Overwatch Developer Geoff Goodman admitted Brigitte entered the game overpowered on the official Overwatch forums. “I'd say at this point it's pretty clear Brigitte's initial balance was pretty far off the mark,” Goodman said. “She has been nerfed multiple times since then and she is still very strong.”
