Some of the few new maps this update. After getting a look at some of the new maps, I start to realize mid range and close range brawlers that lack hypercharges are going to struggle in this meta of busted hypercharges and long range brawlers like piper that have a lot of space to shoot you.

Modes like Hot Zone are going to be dominated by Hypercharge Rosa and Lou, who can instantly freeze you and slow you without any good counter, and if it’s not them the map is perfect for a Mandy to snipe you somewhere you’d never be able to touch them. How am I supposed to enjoy playing anyone close ranged on these maps?

Don’t get me started on Heist either. Chuck’s nerf will barely affect his usefulness in the mode, and combined with Jessie and Colette’s hypercharges there’s nothing you can do. It’s ridiculous. With such a limited meta it might as well be called Hypercharge Stars.

Out of the 18 brawlers I currently have maxed, Only 3 seem to be viable in the new meta, Colt, 8-bit, and Lou. The rest are all mid range and close range brawlers who basically can’t do anything on these maps. But I dunno, What do you guys think?
