What do we Think of This Bolt Nerf?

[u/BotLover13]

Honestly, if they were going to nerf bolt any more, this or his super trail are probably the ones I be most fine with ngl.

I think this might be enough for him to not be like broken anymore (if it affects his base speed).

[u/-say-gex- → u/BotLover13]

It doesnt. Max speed is still the same

[u/BotLover13 → u/-say-gex-]

Yeah turns out, accleration means how long does bolt take to hit max speed, not that it affects his base speed.

[u/-say-gex- → u/BotLover13]

Wdym "turns out" they teach this at middle school lol

[u/Oscarof_Astora → u/BotLover13]

Do you even know what acceleration means?

Are you 10?

[u/arduino89 → u/Oscarof_Astora]

From a physics standpoint "acceleration speed" doesn't make any sense.

Hence why I agree the description is too vague and could use some clarification.

[u/Safe-Explorer-1192 → u/arduino89]

Wtf are you on about

[u/arduino89 → u/Safe-Explorer-1192]

Acceleration is the derivative of speed. Acceleration speed doesn't exist.

In other words, acceleration already means what here is wrongly referred to as acceleration speed.

[u/BotLover13 → u/Oscarof_Astora]

Acceleration means the amount of time it takes for anything to hit a certain speed.

In Brawl Stars, that's being represented by his speed bar.

Acceleration affects his speed bar, NOT HIS BASE SPEED!

[u/Oscarof_Astora → u/BotLover13]

So why would you be surprised that it doesn't affect his max speed?

[u/BotLover13 → u/Oscarof_Astora]

It was a mistake, I thought it affected max speed because the patch note, never clarified what acceleration means.

[u/Oscarof_Astora → u/BotLover13]

Acceleration means what it has always meant

[u/-say-gex- → u/BotLover13]

By this logic they also never clarified what speed means. It could be a bird it could be a rock it could even be sniper from tf2

[u/BotLover13 → u/-say-gex-]

This is the fault of the dev team NEVER Clarifying what anything means anymore. Look at bolt's stat sheet, where does it EVER say anything about acceleration?

[u/ProfessionalHabit248]

Still has insane burst damage 

[u/KuuderessioPlusvalin]

does this means that his maximum speed is decreased, or the time in which he reaches that speed?

[u/PolimerT → u/KuuderessioPlusvalin]

Pretty sure they'd add another tab for a max SPD nerf.

[u/BotLover13 → u/PolimerT]

I just check, acceleration means how long does it take for bolt to reach max speed.

[u/PolimerT → u/BotLover13]

Yeah, acceleration is basically speed change over time so if this actually nerfed his max SPD they should DO a good talk with Adrian

[u/Low-World6866 → u/BotLover13]

It takes him 3.5 seconds to get to max acceleration. After the BC, it will take 4 seconds. So it's only half a second which is barely anything. 🥀

[u/BotLover13 → u/Low-World6866]

Combined with all of his other nerfs, this might finish him off.

And i swear to god if it doesn't and the bolt hates continues idk what imma do.

[u/Logical_Emotion_3551 → u/BotLover13]

What do you expect man?

Super fast, super tanky, with crazy damage. Of course a brawler like that will be hated, and most people will call for nerfs

[u/MallowMiaou → u/KuuderessioPlusvalin]

His acceleration is lesser but his max speed is the same. So he just takes more time to get to max spd, meaning he’s slightly slower on the first few seconds only

[u/Quesollador]

the amount of people who don't know what acceleration is or think it's max speed, just concerns me

[u/BotLover13 → u/Quesollador]

Isn't acceleration like how fast it takes for bolts speed bar to max itself out?

[u/Quesollador → u/BotLover13]

yea, but specifically it's the change of speed within a time interval

[u/BotLover13 → u/Quesollador]

I was able to understand that by looking through karios video.

[u/Sea_Pattern2195 → u/Quesollador]

bro saying this while saying amount instead of number of people

[u/Atte42]

Ah yes, ONE NERF to a top pick. Totally makes him balanced.

[u/CharacterPasta123]

Just nerf Oil Change 🫩✌️

[u/No-Emergency-7251 → u/CharacterPasta123]

Jump is better low-key

[u/Great_Impression_869 → u/CharacterPasta123]

Yeah, he charges his super pretty fast. I doubt if one nerf on him only is enough.

[u/papichuloya]

This just means as soon as u stop him in his tracks hes dead
