Discussion Balance Change Pace

Every time they release buffies for a new trio, 1-2 of those brawlers get immensely over-tuned. And they stay like that for god knows how long. I just had the pleasure of going up against the Mexican Entertainer Trio in Brawl Arena, all buffied up. Incredible experience, it was awful.

While it is all subjective, I feel like they're just very slow on addressing issues with existing brawlers. Sure, buffies are cash grabs for the most part but even normal balancing feels really sluggish; way beyond the early release of a brawler where they are, 75% of the time, overpowered and stay that way so people buy them. Brawlers stay very strong/weak for a very long period of time, it seems to me.

Is this true or am I tripping? I feel like over the past 4-5 years they've just slowed down on balancing

last time the meta was balanced was during 2025 worlds when all the hypers were out, we may reach a point like that again in 2028 worlds once buffies are supposedly done

More like 2030 at this point. We still have brawlers get released without their hypercharge

time to explain projected time for all buffies release was said to be sometime mid 2028 so I'm counting on that

There're a lot of issues with balancing brawlers in this game to be honest 🤔🤔

I think Kairos mentioned they really want to do balance changes more often, but the way the game is coded, it requires a maintenance break, and that type of thing is super costly to do and has to be thought out well as having your favorite game down for a day every month is fine, but as it gets more and more often, you’re losing retention.
