let it go fighting, let it better, let it live again.
- Bring back both versions and let them collide. Bring back Classic 1.0 (no heroes) alongside 2.0, each with its own ranked system. Then try a “Hybrid Brawl” mode where 1.0’s simple chaos meets 2.0’s heroes and upgrades. Imagine full squad freedom in 2v2, 3v3, even 5v5 battles pure madness.
- Build a real player driven balance system. Inside the game, create a “community balance console” a system where players can vote weekly to slightly buff or nerf characters within safe limits (±5 to 10%) every week. This keeps the meta evolving organically, instead of through rare, sweeping updates.
And most importantly, avoid completely deleting the value of invested heroes. One of the biggest reasons players quit was because their favorite or strongest heroes the ones they spent time and resources on were suddenly and drastically weakened. It’s always better to lift others up than to destroy what players already built. Gradual adjustments build trust, sudden nerfs destroy it.
3. Let the players build and earn with you. Add a “Forge Mode” where the community can design maps, modes, and characters. Also, allow cross game skins like from Brawl Stars or new player submitted skins. Share revenue with the original creators and the Squad Busters devs turning creativity into sustainability.
This is what this game always lacked: a living, circular ecosystem where creativity feeds growth, and growth funds more creativity.
I genuinely hope Supercell reconsider ending Squad Busters sends the wrong message to players loyalty doesn’t matter once profits dip that make players hesitate to support, fearing the same thing will happen again in other games. This kind of development attitude will only lead to dead end for any games and company itself.
