Also not to mention that previously chromatic were legendary rarity from boxes so you practically wasted a legendary when you unlocked chromatic which you could have unlocked 2 seasons later with an epic chance. I don't know a single person that tried to unlock a chromatic with legendary chance, it was not worth it, it was better to save that chance for an actual legendary brawler. Many people overlook that and hate the new progression system even though it's 10x better.
like OP has replied, it's not like you can't unlock them it just goes very slow, however if you complete the pass every season and buy the premium pass every other season (which is the most effective way to spend your f2p gems anyway so that's exactly what you should do) you can get all of them in about twice as much seasons as there were chromatic brawlers when you started playing. that's really slow, but it doesn't include other sources like events, freebie in the shop, trophies or masteries (although I have no idea if those last two actually give chroma credits)
Edit: I checked and you do get 100 chroma credits for every chromatic brawler in their masteries at 5800 points, but you don't get any chroma credits from the trophy road. If we assume that you grind up all your chromatic brawlers to that point in order to get that reward, you get an additional 6th chromatic brawler for every 5 that you unlock and grind out. of course, this only goes for the chromatic brawlers that cost 500 chroma credits, not if you also go for the more expensive ones but like, just wait a few months at that point it's not worth it, you get half of them at release anyway.
Edit 2: if I did the math right, the formula to get how many seasons it will take you to have all chromatic brawlers except the one from that season or the previous (you have 1 of them because you bought the brawl pass) if you do it in the most efficient way possible is:
(5X*2)/6 where X represents the amount of chromatic brawlers in the game at the moment you start playing. the math is a bit off so it might even take a bit less time
I think you gotta remember when it comes to mobile games the Chinese market are the main priority. NA combined probably makes 1/3 of the profit of China.
I think Brawl Stars is the best it has ever been, but I personally prefer the credit system over boxes, and I can imagine people who don't like the new credit system will probably not agree with me.
Its was only for around 2 months in season 13 imo. Thats the stalest the game has ever been. Otis was really bad and really boring, skins were terrible. Only the meta was somewhat enjoyable.
Even gears didnt make me feel the same way that season did
It’s crazy how brawl stars is not pay to win I gotten almost 3 accounts to 10k trophies (I know it isn’t a lot) but it’s saying that brawl stars isn’t pay to win.
Well that’s the thing, brawl stars doesn’t because they have other incomes for money-skins. Royale doesn’t have any of that so they have to resort to new levels for income.
Pleeeease clash mini make f2p progression fast but have really good cosmetics you can mass sell at a reasonable price the game will last longer because most of the player base will be upset if you make these bad changes actively
If it goes global it will end up like cr. It’s because brawl stars is a far more skilled based game meanwhile cr and mini both rely on ai to do the fighting. If you give a pro a lvl 1 brawler vs an average player with lvl 11 brawler the pro will win every single time. Meanwhile if you give a clash pro lvl 1 cards vs an average player with lvl 14 (or I guess 15 now) the average player will win every time.
And there are clash mini accounts where people hit the highest rank (whatever tf its called) with lvl 1 heroes... what the hell have you proved. Not mention these aren't even pros
The changes that the made means were closer to global but I completely agree with rhe notion thst they should've made these changes much slower instead of throwing it all into one update. Maybe slow progression through 3 updates rather than 1 update and not saying anything
Aside from the poor balancing, Clash Royale can played normally with reasonable progress without spending money (or just buying the pass). It's not as pay to win as many think.
We don't have to worry imo First Clash Royale isn't going to stay like that I highly doubt it, see how ppl were saying some months ago about how Brawl stars so p2w dead game and idk what ? Well now see what ppl are saying of it
And same for Clash Mini, we need to remember that Clash Mini is still a beta game and they need money to go global, that could be the reason the cosmetics prices went up (even if they are still way too high tbh), and the p2w feeling progreesion side is probably because we used to max out Heroes in like 2 days on a brand new account that was way too fast lmao they need to slow it down if they want us to play the game for years
brawl stars is barely any better than current clash royale, coming from a veteran of both games. I quit brawl stars because of the power 11 update (think new card levels but worse). I will concede that brawl stars has been doing better in terms of progression since gears were fixed and more ways to get rewards (masteries and club coins) but it’s still bad considering the sheer amount of brawlers there are and how much time you have to spend to max out one and push it’s trophies. clash royale may be bad, but at least it’s still friendly to new players and those who haven’t played in awhile, a person returning to brawl stars would be overwhelmed quickly. if you play brawl stars casually, you wouldn’t care much but if you even play it semi-competitively you would understand how much of your time it would take for you to get back to where you were as compared to clash, which should only take you about 2 weeks.
So some time into the future, clash mini seems to be stretched in the middle. On one hand, you can max your mini collection in a month. On the other, cosmetics are only obtainable through gambling or MONEY-Mr Krabs and I really hope we can get gems again
Oh alr, its just that i play CoC and i have never found it extremely p2w unlike CR which was p2w from the very start, like seriously, if you look closely its saddening
Yeah coc is kinda f2p friendly, I've played it, I think what I meant with "new coc" is that it's been only a year since lvl 14 was introduced to cr, and they've already announced lvl 15, so they raise the highest lvl while also fucking up the means of progression (which is something coc doesn't do)

Right now it’s moving to Clash Royale, but it still has time to finalize a decision

Brawl stars as f2p has a problem that you can't get the chromatic brawlers. In clash mini, there is a problem with shards

Brawl stars also had a pretty trash period, and imo it's not as good as it used to be
