I’m about 3 months in to brawl stars and I really enjoy the game and I’m sure they’re people who feel the same way I do but Why are buggies downright tedious and almost impossible to unlock unless i just go pay to play? I’m free to play and every match I feel like I’m losing to someone I should be beating but they just bust out some op buffie ability and I almost quit ranked cause of it. The worst part is not only do I need 1k coins +2800 pp I can’t even choose what I want at least lemme choose what I want or if not then make it cheaper I feel like 1k coins + 1k pp is fair

Obviously it’ll have to make some changes with seeing your team and what not but if you can scroll side to side with this menu it’s honestly not too small to see each character and it’s so much better in my opinion something like this.

You cannot charge her hypercharge while using the empowered super, even if you cast it right before hypercharge runs out. Is this intended?

Note: It doesn't have to be a brawler on this list, these are just the notables ones.

Obviously throwers are good on maps with plenty of walls but are they useful in this meta with strong aggro (stella, edgay) and wall break (griff,brock) and if yes which ones and in what cases are they useful as a 6th pick on which maps/modes and what makes a thrower particularly good on a certain map and most importantly which ones are worth upgrading for ranked... ziggy, willow and berry are included in the throwers category btw.

Also feel free to share your opinion on the meta in general whether you like it/not or is a thrower meta gonna be the most cancerous meta (probably never gonna be as bad as bolt meta).

I’m in Masters, and I’m really struggling to get my Bolt to Prestige 3. It’s been 8 days, and I still can’t get past 2700 trophies.
It feels like there’s always something working against me. Either matchmaking takes forever, the map rotation is terrible, or there are no teammates available. Most of the time, the Search for Team feature doesn’t work, so I end up playing solo against coordinated teams with pro-level players and just lose.
How are people reaching Prestige 3 so easily while I’m stuck? Am I missing something, or is there a better way to push?

Will that work in the current meta?

So I was playing back when Power League was a thing. I was mostly a casual player, so I didn't play much ranked Honestly, though, I don't remember it being that difficult. I'm not saying I was good or anything, I only peaked at Gold I, but I barely pushed. So why was Power League considered harder than Ranked 1.0 and 2.0?

We all know new brawlers when released are purposefully made strong to incentivize people to spend money and max them out, however, with Bolt, not only are his numbers ridiculous, but the main problem resides within his design as a brawler. Unlike most recent brawlers, you can nerf his numbers again and again, and you will not have a balanced Bolt, you will either end up with a terrible brawler, rotting in F tier or an overpowered one, making the game miserable for others. Personally I think Bolt needs a rework

Who thought about giving shields and damage reduction to a tank who already has lots of hp and is the fastest brawler in the game? It’s objectively a terrible design. Those sustain traits like healing and shields or %dmg reduction, should be given to brawlers who without it, they would be extremely vulnerable and useless, for example, Edgar and Mortis. Take away their sustain and they are F tier brawlers. Bolt on the other hand, doesn’t need all that sustain on top of his speed, hp and other traits. He can dodge attacks easily because of his speed, and his hp should be more than enough

Bolt should be a Controller Tank, relying on his speed and hp to tank and using his super to pressure/zone enemies, that’s why he leaves a trail of damage, as well as assisting with some CC. His “Toss Up” SP fits him perfectly. Should he do damage? Yes, every brawler should be able to deal some form of damage, but unless your whole thing is to deal damage, you shouldn’t be able to just one shot people as a tank. He already has damage reduction, his shield is unnecessary. His “bouncy ball” gadget is very well designed, but Oil Change is so broken that why would you use it? Remove his “Oil Change” gadget for something that would help him with what he is good at. Maybe able to control his movement freely for a few seconds without breaking his speed to maneuver through certain obstacles better. Nerf his damage, we can keep the damage reduction but either nerf the damage reduction % or reduce his hp. His cc immunity rework is way better than before, and now it’s more balanced, him being immune to his weakness for a second shouldn’t be too frustrating and would demand Bolt to know when to go in and possibly win a game, not just mash super and go brrr. From this point, he could be balanced way better and buffed or nerfed according to the circumstances

-Nerf Damage

-Nerf Hp or Dmg Reduction

-Replace “Oil Change” gadget

-Balance him around being a “Tank Controller”

Brawl stars really doesn’t know how to design brawlers anymore, they have a solid idea, but then mess it up by thinking that removing their weaknesses and slapping unnecessary stuff is somehow “balancing them”. He can be reliable, fun to play and strong without having to be broken or useless

Whenever my teammates pick something along the lines of Bo, Griff, Spike, Rico, Brock or sometimes even Surge in gamemodes where there are much better first picks (e.g. hotzone Finx, heist Colt, bounty Gene/Angelo), my mind goes completely blank. I just don't know what to do when we give the enemy team such an advantage in draft.

Besides the obvious "just go carry picks" / "carry harder lol" responses, what should I be doing? Also, is it better to ban the npc picks?

Pls, I am genuinely lost in this department.

In the last year I played a lot of ranked I watched scrims mf,guides,pros when they do live stream I ask people who are good at the game question i try to learn the draft yet I don’t even begin to understand how to play any carry brawlers.In the past year while I grinder ranked a lot I went from last summer Mythic 3 to L1 (I’m L3 but I got carried by a pro and I don’t deserve it at all)

Since I struggled to understand these brawlers I tried watching guides and I don’t understand any of it and had to almost unlearn what I had been thought because it was ridiculously bad.

When I’m speaking about Carry brawlers I’m speaking about the Mina Kaze Alli pierce etc… because I always felt more comfortable with more safer brawlers.With these carry brawlers I win maybe 10-15% of my games.

What are the best advice on how to begin to understand them.

For extra info if you want to help me to see if there’s an issue read below

In the 2nd picture in green it means it’s one of the brawlers I play the most and understand the fundamentals and don’t struggle that much with them

I just got her to Prestiege 2 yesterday but it was a terrible experience. I can understand some good things but I can't really seem to understand the full picture. If I wanted a somewhat tanky character that can jump/dash with a quick unload speed, why would I not just use Edgar or Surge or Nori? With edgar and Nori they both can self heal too so I cannot see myself using Starr Nova when those two feel better and for me more fun to use. The floaty gadget is cool but enemies just tend to destroy it as soon as I place it down since they know it is good. And her range isnt the greatest either. Can someone help me just understand the purpose of her?

Playing against Surge, Max, Nori, Griff and Edgar all feel like a nightmare right now, and they are all so good currently. Firstly Griff and Edgar can burst you down instantly with the latter being able to catch up as well. Surge and Nori are also so annoying since they can combo their attacks together and altogether deal massive damage, and Max is just impossible to catch up with.

As a person that normally main assassins such as Kenji, Mortis, Kaze and Alli, how do I counter them? (please delete buffies i'd rather have a mythic gear for every brawler)

Starr Nova Hyper just dropped chat. Is it any good? Seems like it takes pretty long to charge, havent actually been able to use it in any games.

This isn't really an effort post but...I wanted to ask y'all. It will be very useful for me because I'm preparing something

fp: surge
second and third: max and crow
fourth and fifth: gene and ruffs
lp (me): belle
after we swapped brawlers!

Draft went like this, I was the ruffs what could we have changed for to win

I don't remember the exact bans but surge and meg was banned

I don't see enough talk about how broken Surge currently is.

I'm only playing Brawl Ball Trophy Road push to 2k right now, and playing against Surge is just not doable. I see him literally every 2nd game I play.

He has 50% shield on gadget, refund HALF on getting hit (which he will be) so if you try to punish his atrocious positioning - ha ha - you can't ! He pops his gadget and whatever you throw at him, he WILL be able to get a super off and live. AND HE'S ABLE TO DO THAT EVERY 11 SECONDS.

Ah, and don't forget it reloads 2 ammo on top of that. So that one of his main weaknesses - slow reload speed - can be completely ignored.

He gets his ult incredibly fast, his hyper is a instant teamwipe, etc etc.

It's just not playable, atp whenever I see a Surge on the enemy team I just know I lost the game.

So for context this was in mythic 2 and the enemies first pick Damian which I tried to get my teammates to ban but it didn't work. So I picked Collete because she is one of the few anti tanks I had with my small pool of maxed out brawlers that I thought would have done decently into the Damian. Then my teammate picked griff which I thought was a little risky but whatever.

The enemies go chester then this made me make this post... My teammate goes bolt which basically guaranteed our defeat, not only because of horrible matchup but also because of bad bolt map (I forgot the name but it's the one with 2 long walls on the side that bend into your side and the opponents side). So the bolt plays terrible as you would expect into these conditions and I try but Damian was avoiding me like the plague.

The Griff gets angry at me for a reason I don't know if but it's fair I did not play well and the entire lobby kudos me so funny funny. The Griff and bolt were definitely in a team cause no way you think I'm the bigger issue here. Anyway sorry if this is hard to read I suck at putting my thoughts into words correctly.
