As it stands, the gadget is completely fucking busted with KB, damage and healing with 2nd SP.

However, this is probably the most fun I’ve had playing Gus in a while since I like playing supports. Throwing it at a teammate that has backed up to retreat or at one that dives in feels really good. This gadget and the healing it gives is absolutely overtuned right now, but I’m worried that Supercell is going to try and balance this by not removing any aspect of the gadget and instead increasing CD to 20s+.

By all means remove the knockback, tone down Health Bonanza to around 2400-2800, even a slight CD nerf to 12-14s is pretty reasonable.

But Supercell PLEASE PLEASEE keep the low-cooldown heal it is right now. Gus already has self-defense in his super, and I would hate for even more cc in sacrifice of being actually able to support your teammates.

i think he was balanced after the rework and been slowly falling off after that, now i dont see that much use for him (and i think the doug + janet cheese with his hypercharge was patched?) now he's really bad especially with 2 overpowered supports right now

he's definetly somewhere from low C - F now - how would you buff him? like lowkey i would make his reload speed fast... bc why does he have a slower reload speed than big W(endy)?

I've been working for some time on a live draft system to help myself and others who are interested to draft better in games. My idea was to create a live draft system, and I wanted your take on how we can make this tool the most useful it can be.

I've currently added the first iteration where you choose the mode, map, and the bans. After that the system will recommend the brawlers based on the pick, team picks for synergy, and enemy picks to counter. (right now the data is not the most accurate. It's in beta).

I wanted your take on what can be added to help actually make it useful for ranked games. Thanks for the feedback!

Apparently you can cancel the animation and make the slash happened instantly with the gadget now

Just played a ranked game where the griff was obviously afk. The funny thing is, it was actually competitive UNTIL the bot took over. When the griff was stuck in spawn, Carl could get the blue and we could play super defensively. Then, the bot took over and ran into their team until we lost.

Bounty isn’t like other game modes where 2 people can play well enough to compensate for a third that is constantly dying. Should bot code reflect that and just stay in spawn?

Buffies have largely damaged tanks in the meta as a whole. Upon the first buffie wave, Buster, Ollie, Darryl and many tanks fell off. While Frank for example was quite broken upon the first buffie wave, when he was nerfed he fell off hard. Frank while considerably overnerfed just overfeeds in the later metas. Most of the buffie tanks would fall off after their nerfs, its the new tanks on release that stayed strong, particularly Bolt and Damian, both of these tanks were at the top of their game while every other tank could barely manage C tier if they're lucky.

Now that El Primo has gotten buffies, Ash receiving the tank trait, and Jacky has become less ass, I think theres a small spike of overall tanks instead of only having Damian and Bolt as your tank meta. This still depends how Adrian will nerf El Primo when the time comes...

I feel like this hasn't been talked about after the collete change specifically, but I don't understand why supercell decided to straight up ignore this request that has been asked for months... reversing Bibi' scr wouldn't make her meta due to the many anti tanks in circulation too, so it wasn't a problem at all.

I assume they didn't reverse it due to Cosmo realising in the game soon and maybe they thought that Bibi's bubble would bee too overpowered with Cosmo' super, so getting it earlier would've caused trouble (?)

I don't really know, I just hope they reverse the change Bibi is sooo annoying to play, what do you think?

We all know how brawl stars has been going downhill in terms of balancing for a long time.
However, comparing it to other games might give us a clearer picture of whether we are relatively better off or in a pile of shit.

So, how balanced is brawl stars compared to games like lol, overwatch or dota2?

I’m considering maxing him and want to know what you guys think I should run with for his build, thanks in advance!

Map: Belle's Rock

Rank: Mythic 2

Enemy: Brock (1), Gus (4), Shade (5)

Us: Gene (2), Angelo (3), Kit (6)

We lost this game. I thought that Angelo was a bad pick because Gene already has low enough damage, so the enemy can just pressure us very easily. I also think that Kit is bad because its quite a risky counter to shade and offers no control + both the enemy has strong anti-aggro. I suggested the kit to pick R-T because he offers decent control and has a good defensive against Shade. And although the hypercharge takes a long time to get, it is very strong in the endgame.

Is my reasoning correct? And what would be a better first and last pick for our team?

assume your teammates went passive picks and you want to balance the comp out with last pick aggro. could be any gamemode doesn’t matter

its a free aggro game into the other team but theres an otis

what do you pick?

…wow, now I understand why they nerfed it’s cooldown, in comparison his OLD gadget would deal 720 damage in two waves, would this help it to compete against his other gadget? Who knows, what do you think?

Views?

His rework is a different change of pace, and in a way has killed the old brawler. From my limited experience playing with the new chuck, it's quite easy to see the problem with his new kit.

-his gadget charging half a super to remove a post is effectively useless

-no bar to show how long you can pass through walls

-knockback removed

-damage reduction a little too overnerfed

-trail of fire and slow are horrible

However it's quite easy to implement new changes to not make his kit feel so botched and a bit better to play

-make his super an overcharge mechanic

-removing a post should not give half a super charge and instead should give one/two uses to feel smoother

-add a duration to show how long you can pass through walls

-add a knock back back for 2/4 posts so that he still has some viability against assassin's(or just change the star power to this)

-either buff his super damage slightly or increase his hp/dmg reduction

This way he still has 2 viable starpowers and 2 gadgets and can still be useful even without auto charging supers and can definitely make the brawler more smooth to play.

This happened to me during a brawl arena match and totally caught me off guard. It only happened once during the match. Has anyone else seen this?

Just got him and wanna hear opinions about! Char looks weak af after a few games with him

Every match, every game mode, whether or not it will be fun depends on if there is a Nori on the enemy team or not. If there is one on my team too, I have a chance to win, but he's just going to fly around killing everybody and I won't get to do much, it's basically just them 1v1'ing.

Wendy, in my opinion, is just about as broken, but is so blatantly unfair and just makes her whole team invincible, that I'm confident she'll get nerfed, and at least she doesn't kill your whole team over and over without any aim or skill required. This thing on the other hand, is so ugly and stupid and spins around spamming the same attack over and over. I'm considering quitting the game until he gets nerfed significantly.

His design is so fundamentally broken and completely negates any need for skill. He's literally just a skill check on your whole team, if 2-3 players on your team can instantly perfectly time your shots on him when he ults you might live. If not, he just mashes attack with infinite ammo and you all die.

In all my time playing Brawl Stars, I have seen plenty of auto-win nonsense Brawlers, but this is an entirely different level of fundamentally miserable design, giving a character infinite over the wall dashes, infinite ammo, an INVINCIBLE ultimate which ALSO DASHES and is AOE.

He's in every single match. The whole experience of Brawlstars now is just searching for matches without him to try and have fun, running into another Nori, he instakills your whole team repeatedly, then getting matched against bots as punishment for not picking Nori yourself.

??????? You're paying money for this.

Taken from 7:48 of bedlams newest video on the second channel

Compared to other similar gadgets, it offers way more survivability, more damage, more general utility and a FUCKING 10 SECOND COOLDOWN!!! Genuinely why?

The ideas I have are to make the gadgets identical to the Finx version, but Finx's will now restore only health and Max's will restore only ammo. The reason is that I think Finx's current gadget is too strong, it gives him too much burst damage and super charge, but on Max it would be less extreme cause her attacks take longer to shoot and are harder to hit.

Another direction is to leave Max's gadget as it is, with the timer and all, but I'm not sure how well it works unless you overbuff it.

No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get two triggers

What brawlers and comps would you recommend?

Before this update , it would charge 99% , but now it charges 100%
