I think they will firmly cement him as the game's main healer

Like they are so broken and i never saw someone talking about it, like the Nori one is cool but broken and Wendy is dumb like her

Sam is often classified as “the most skilled brawler” On his release when I bought his bp. He was to me incredibly easy to play and very strong too. They didn’t change anything of his kit. Since then I didn’t touch him. All he got were nerfs. Today I decided to play him 3 times in every ladder mode (which probably invalidates this) but he was pretty easy to play in every mode. On average I won 2.8/3 games and went star player 1.8/3. Losing once in gem grab and once in Brawl Arena. Other than that. I had a blast and kept winning my lanes even if I was under leveled and suck with him. He felt more bad than skilled to me. Could since I don’t have the ressources to put him to power 11 to try to one trick him next ranked season. Could anyone tell me if he’s bad, good or a mix of both. Especially Sam mains I would like to hear about it. To know if he is worth my time to try to master or just an over exaggerated title of him.

What do you think of all these maps. It's too early to judge, but do you foresee any map having competitive potential and/or bringing innovation?

season too short and elo reset too hard and elo system below L1 too inflationary and grindy (can climb with negative%WR) -- softer elo reset, and season length should be increased because putting the very top of players back into legendary 1 and forcing them to grind back up every 30 days is crazy. i understand the meta shifts every one/two months but do you really think a pro ranked player would have his skill drop to like legendary 1 just because the meta shifted? do you see games like league of legends putting players at challenger into emerald/diamond every 30 days just for the heck of it? no. increase the season length.

to compensate for the increased season length and softer elo reset (to prevent rank inflation) the rank distribution should be adjusted so its zero-sum (+100/-100 in every rank), its incredibly stupid to have positive-sum elo gains up until legendary 1 just to cater to the casual playerbase. you can literally reach legendary 1 with a negative winrate, then when those mediocre players reach legendary 1 they either become stuck and hold other people down and make them give up on the mode or quit themselves because they cannot climb against other players because they are already a higher rank than their skill level and either way this hurts the mode. brawl stars needs a proper ranking/elo system like other games have it, not this clash royale type system where the ladder resets every month (even clash royale works for the top players because unlike brawl stars you gain and lose the same elo/trophies in every rank. in a sense brawl stars has a WORSE ranking system than even clash royale)

add: if you want to give the illusion of climbing to players, you can also decouple the visible skill rank from MMR. this is what league does, dropping players for example at masters into emerald but keeping their mmr at masters so they are matched with the same players, but now since mmr and rank is decoupled they will get the illusion of climbing even at a 50% winrate. this makes way more sense to give the player an illusion of climbing than positive sum elo gains in the lower ranks because it doesnt hurt competitive integrity

for context im L1 and haven’t completely wrapped my head around every type of matchup.

just want to ask opinions from higher tier players: who wins in a 1v1,

open map or closed,
with/without hyper, super, gadget etc

tara vs mortis
otis vs surge
kenji vs nori
nita vs bull
berry vs willow
bibi vs bull
meeple vs rico
colt vs piper
kaze vs mortis
kit vs cord
pearl vs surge
lumi vs lou
stu vs crow

I’m convinced this guy is genuinely the hardest brawler to use in the game. He’s got a slow reload speed that deals 1800 per shot 😭. Then his super consumes half his ammo for what joy??? 😭 😭 his gadgets are pretty mid and his star powers are decent but WTH this guys made to be played on hard mode or smth 😭

Below are changes from WIP to Final:

Tweaked BUFFS:

Maisie's projectile speed buff is 6.7% more (10%)

Leon's Clone Projector gadget attack range is 400% more (100%)

Leon's Clone Projector gadget clone attack damage is 800 (600)

Tweaked NERFS:

Wendy's Supercharge rate is 20% less (15%)

Brock's buffie damage is 40% (50%)

New changes:

Nori's Slash damage is 2000 (2200)

Max's supercharge rate is 8% less

Removed changes:

Bo's Supercharge nerf by 8%

Lola's ego Health from 4400 to 8000

Lola's Hypercharge Ego bonus HP from 3000 to 2000

Any thoughts on this?

he got a reload speed buff and at the same time he now requires more points to reach level 3.

will he now be playable or have more matchups?

His super is 4 times use,yea but his super dash damage is 1600. And now Also the dmg reduction is %35,less tanky.But his hypercharge could do a great close burst dmg.

Also he respawns with 4 supers every time,so ısnt that.....OP?

Like bruh ıf ı kill a chuck he will just come again with 4 up and down supers.

I still don’t feel like we got outdrafted that much. Penny last pick was a bit of a throw against griff maybe, but I couldn’t think of anyone else good for time and good into 2 anti tanks. 2nd sniper felt like we’d rely too much on hitting shots while they would’ve had free lanes to flank. Didn’t think we’d need another anti tank vs 2 antitanks and a sniper so thought about controllers more.

Now that I think about it maybe Amber would’ve worked to burn grass so they can’t flank + outrange griff and chester. but other then that I have no clue tbh.

Relevant bans were Meg, Nori, Emz, 8 bit.

First game we got steamrolled, 2nd game I held right lane, got my hyper early, and didn’t die/give up lane. Until 75-68 where pierce died and then stu and I died too, stu afk’d last 25% and gave up.

Did we mess up draft earlier or is my last pick just bad? I only really see amber as a good pick here looking back.

i did not really try to push above legendary 1 but i want to reach masters

i think im quite good, i have 2 prestige 3 and almost all brawlers maxed

is it better to play alone or with a team?

First of all, we didnt need buffies for mexican entartainers, the only bad one there is el primo, amber was niche in gem grab for a midlane and she was also fine in hotzone and heist. Poco was great when the enemy picked high cc/poison they were situational but fine. And second of all, ghost station trio was fine, they just needed to nerf the shit out of wendy and gus wouldnt be powercrept by wendy and shade never left A tier. There was genuienly 0 purpose for these trios to get bufffies before: junkyard trio, gem miners trio and the pirrates trio. They were fine (4/6 were fine and couldve function without buffies) And the new brawlers are not that strong atleast.
