I NEED CCTV VIDEO KAIROS >: PLS PLS(the cctv lore series)
Did you just change the thumbnail while it was released for members???i saw Leon in the thumb for a milisecond,also My honest trought is its pretty fine BUT,my only problem is the starr drops in the pass and in the extra rewards at the end of the pass,just getting rares/super rares/epics everytime is very frustrating for F2P players,since most of the time or you get 1:useless XP doublers 2:power points(i have more than 12.000 and no coins) 3:lame sprays(some pins are good but really....) 4:bling,even if it sounds good,the probability of getting bling is SO low,since the start of the update i only got bling from 3 starr drops(i have played everyday and completed the pass)not only that,you get so little bling.
In my opinion they should remove XP doublers, and every weekend to make a XP doubler event, just like the coin shower
#honest The xp doublers could became xp tripelers.
Or maybe let's make xp doublers a perk of the brawl pass???
Doublers should never be a main reward of any starrdrop and should be a bonus reward like how they used to be in boxes.
or you can choose like like a lighting chest in CR
Thats a realy smart idea!!
If they do that, it means they are slowly making new boxes but in starr drops
Fr
I also hope they publish the drop rate like when we had the boxes. I find it insulting getting a legendary star drop and to get credits to pump up my fame. like who cares about the fame? I have never gotten a legendary star drop that gave me coins.
The thing about the broken early access brawlers is that there's no good interpretation about it. Either they're malicious or they're incompetent - because anyone playing these brawlers (Kit prenerf, L&L now) CAN CLEARLY SEE THEY WERE WAY OVERPOWERED. This was not hard to see at all. So for them to come out and pretend "oh, sowwy, we didn't know they were going to be this powerful, we just wanted them to be exciting" makes their whole playtesting seem completely inadequate.
when L&L releases even if it nerfed or not, all the players will get it by their tokens and then all the game modes and maps will be full of L&L and this will be so much annoying
Perhaps they play tested them and then buffed them. Like for being able to hit Kit while he's on enemies is a super drastic change in the design of his super but now he's balanced. I think that they balanced Kit and then made them broken for release before nerfing them to the tested and balanced version
@@DesislavJeliazkovyeah, that example especially is weird, because according to the patch notes, being unable to hit kit while he’s attached to an enemy was a BUG, which like, how on earth could they not see that in playtesting? Either something weird happened with the full release or they just didn’t fix him and knew about it
@trevorwinder39 No, it wasn't a bug Being able to cycle supers with power cubes and gadget always giving double super was but not this He couldn't be hit in the dev build content creators got too
@@Masque1419 thats right they did say it was a bug but then how is it possible to release him with such a major bug ,no way they didnt see how the SUPER of a brawler worked,must have been intensional
The huge issue I see with new brawler releases recently is the fact that new brawlers make old brawlers less special than they were before. Some examples are that Cordelius's gadget to silence brawlers makes Otis feel less special, and Kit's ability to go invisible with a gadget makes Leon seem more boring as well. Why play any brawler if the news ones let you get all the fun at once? I think they should hold back with new brawlers by giving them one unique factor, because that's how it used to be and that's how it should be.
Yeah also Edgar was the only one that could charge super automaticly but now kit can too
bro forgot darryl :(@@ItzzDarkGaming
@@ItzzDarkGaming Darryl: WHAT?
@@widesquaregamingwe're just proving a point 😂
this is exactly what on my mind..
For me personally, as someone who has every brawler in the game, having your credits going to fame is probably the worst thing about playing brawl stars. Just such a waste
@@Mythological410 gems for 100 credits?!?!. Are you insane. An epic brawler worth of credits can give is 200 credits. That’s 20 gems. Mastery track gives like 300 credits. That’s 30 gems. That’s wayyy to much. Minimum 1000 credits for 10 gems.
I agree, I also feel the same about powerpoints
And also the fact you can no longer save credits....
@@sonkokun6824 bro obviously we aint gona have scientists in the coment section of a mobile game
@@slyan1 my guy, that’s 3rd grade level math.
Honestly I’m not the type of player to complain about stuff but the one thing I do not like is the coins. So when gears were re worked and we got coins for compensation I was rich not a lot like 60k and because I bought every pass I always had coins and never worried about them. I was restarting to run low eventually until the removal of club coin, when that happened I made sure to spend all my club coins to buy coins from the club shop and once again o was rich. Now because of the pass I had even more coins so much I was able to upgrade 1 more level to max out the brawlers with hypers and also buy all the hypers that were out. Now eventually I did ran out of coins.I had the ability to max out brawlers on their release day, now with kit and Larry I have no coins, I have PP to max them out but no coins and it’s frustrating because every drop I open is just PP. I went almost a whole week without getting a coin except from free daily idk I just want a way to make coins easier to obtain
Thats a long text
14 hours ago, what?
@@abbigodBro used one period 💀
Keep on buying brawl pass plusses, you can get more coins and always complete full pass = more coins and now season ends fast which means frequent rewards, especially that 2k coins at last tier
wait do members have acess to videos faster ?
To solve the coin "shortage" they should make it that to upgrade a brawler you need only power points, gears, gadgets, star powers and hypercharge should be bought with coins.
Good idea 👍
@@rojeesaikia thanks
i feel like that would again upset the entire economy but decreasing the coins to upgrade would not be a bad idea
Just incredible. *wipes tear from eye*
I feel like coins would almost become obsolete with this change. What I would do is just nerf the prices by 25-40%
I thank God that you mentioned the power points animation. I HATE THE SKIP NOT WORKING SOOOOO MUCH! I'm too impatient and ADHD for this LoL.
Don't claimthem then
staarr drops and what if you need them@@Just.SomeGuYontheweb
@@Just.SomeGuYonthewebbut starr drops….
I was about to say that 😭
@@Just.SomeGuYonthewebu stupid? 💀
One problem that goes unnoticed is brawler Rarity. There are much more Epic, Mythic and Legendary brawlers than Rare and Super Rare. I know this is partly due to Chromatic Rarity being removed, but still ignoring that the balance is way too far on the upper rarities. It would be nice once in a while to get those lower rarity brawlers. Every knew release is Epic or higher. Last Super Rare brawler was Gus in 2022 and last Rare brawler was Rosa in 2019!
I feel like the brawlers they are adding are more complex, while the lower rarity brawlers are supposed to be simple. It is kind of difficult to create a unique brawlers that would be a good fit for newer players. I see what you mean tho
They don't make new rare and super rare brawlers because not only is it limiting, in the sense that they can't make a brawler too unique, otherwise newer players would have a hard time understanding them. And because they would have to be extremely careful with their balancing, because everyone will have them and will ruin the game if they're too good.
One step into Reddit and this will be the last thing you say is going unnoticed.
True💯😢
In an old video, Kairos explained that BS doesn’t add more lower rarity brawlers because they don’t want to make the experience of starting the game for the first time too long for new players
As a maxed out player, I despise powerpoints. I currently have 25k, and at the rate of brawler releases, I won't run out ever. I have 53k coins, and with the new hypercharges, each at 5k and 6 hypercharges each update, thats 30k, plus upgrading a brawler to max level with 2 gears and a gadget and star power (depending on the brawler 2 of each). They need to put a cap back on and bring the converter, I don't need powerpoints and gold is always welcomed. Not to mention the powerpoint opening animation takes too long. PS: Got 4 Powerpoint drops today, 3 rare and 1 from a Mythic. Getting 200 from a Mythic feels like a waste of time. Now that I know about Token doublers, I hope I don't get much from end of season rewards.
Hello Did you buy kit offer or larry and lawrie offer? Did you get that 1000 xp quest when winning 15 times with the brawler?
how did you comment 17 hours before this video was posted?
@@Jaden7328he’s a member
I honestly just don't like how they are replacing so many rewards with stardrops
They should have a power points limit to get starcoins instead(like back in the day)
Thank you for educating people about this XP doubler controversy, kairos. Because even tho this has been bought up in the reddit community, None of the creators talked about this and the devs refused to acknowledge this. It felt like no one cares anymore.
I never even thought about it lol
I'm so happy you spoke out about how amazing the music is. It deserves so much more appreciation than it gets. Also fun fact: The Ranger Ranch battle theme has parts of the Slugfest theme (Beta Showdown theme) on top of the game's usual leitmotif, which is super cool since that environment belongs to the oldest trio
Agreed, the songs are so good! Apparently there's a bunch of unused ones too like loading screen jingles and an entire basketbrawl menu theme. Martin does an amazing job and his work needs some apprecation.
I play with music turned off honestly it's so much better
I'm so glad brought up the powerpoint cap removal, because not many realized how bad of an idea was before they did that. With all my Brawlers above Power 8, I feel stale.
Personally I prefered that because I could just not claim them, store them and I could turn the powerpoints from the 500xp end reward into coins
bro i have 14k powerpoint but 1k coin what are you talking about it was 7k who needs more than 7k pp
These 100% honest reviews are *honestly* my favourite videos of yours, it opens for discussion and generally takes a realistic stance on things AND its backed up with numbers?? Better late than never, I couldn’t ask for more :p
I think overpowered brawler releases are 100% by design. It doesn't even take 3 games to know that these brawlers are broken.
of course, sometimes it doesn't even take games at all, just looking at the stats is enough to notice something isn't right.
Because the devs only care about 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
I agree with that you said about the daily tokens. When they gave us all 400/day at the end of last season, it always felt draining to get all 400 when a match gives a max of 34 tokens
Hot take that might not be so hot: give players the option to convert CREDITS to gold! If I am at the end of Starr Road and its all going to fame, I feel there should be an option to allow those credits to become progression again if the player wants!
Or save them for later like in the end of the chroma no more event
@@bigsof7381 The bulk of my credits I get are from the Brawl Pass. You cannot save those. They are auto collected. Also I do save credits in the mastery track but i dont really need to.
The only thing I dislike besides the coin shortage is the early access feature, it wouldnt bother me as much if the brawlers on those werent as strong as they are, I hate how strong Larry is rn and for sure is getting nerfed but only AFTER its released to everyone
True, every time I face Larry in ladder I lose
What makes you think Hypercharges are handled that awfully that you needed to write it twelve times to get enough of it? @@vokqe
@@vokqe I think hypercharges won't be that much of a problem when all the other brawlers get them but I think overly broken brawlers in early access is a big problem for the health of the game. I think they should have way more test on new brawlers before release or if they are released it should be nerfed like after a day or two.
They need money
I think it’s fair
I have a few problems with this update. First, it’s been said to death by now, but supercell should really focus on making brawlers that are creative, SLIGHTLY better than average and most importantly fun. there’s a difference between fun and broken. Cordelius is fun and he’s good to some extent but he isn’t broken…(since he gets countered by sharpshooters and that he is mechanically designed with a super that disadvantages and advantages him simultaneously, making him more balanced). Rn, I just can’t stand this constant routine of letting OP brawlers demolish the everyone. Note that the problem is that they are broken, not because they are paid. Second, I feel we should have a DRASTIC buff to coin and a decent buff to power points. At the rate brawl stars is pumping out brawlers, we need to spend so much just to max them out (especially taking into account of gear, gadget, star power hypercharge…) rn, I need like 700k coins to max out all my brawlers and I’ve been playing this game for like 3+ years. It feels very demoralising when it feels like you can NEVER catch up and getting max level without having to spend on coins with actual money Thirdly, I frankly feel bonus rewards at end of brawl pass, rewards from monthly mega pig and power league reward is way too minuscule. There has to be a buff but it’s not top priority tho. Fourth, I’m noticing that bling is becoming rarer and more difficult to get. I get that gems are the new way to buy skins but it ends up making bling’s value useless. So I hope we could get more bling from trophy reset and the above mentioned sources. Other than that, the rest of the features are significantly pleasing. win streak was low key best thing, brawler creativity is good (other than Charlie…because her super is literally more powerful Otis super and her spider gadget is just Tara gadget+eve minions) and the brawl pass payment rework is better than expected. (Especially when you realise 2 current free pass, lasting one month each, is abt 2x more than 1 old free pass in terms of rewards which lasts 2 months .). Ngl, paid offers are way more valuable than before without making them feel like the only way to pay brawl stars (as I said, problem doesn’t lie in brawlers being paid for early access…) I’m also glad kairos is acknowledging the frustration the community is facing instead of shrugging it off or blindly defending brawl stars. Keep up the good work and I definitely agree with most things you said in your video and congrats if you finished this long essay 😂
Comment has some real good stuff in it, send to supercell fr
Sorry but just gonna say Cordelius is actually busted on release before they nerf a lot of things, But yeah I agree about ur point of broken brawler is not a big deal, cuz they can just nerf it quickly like they did several times, The main and frustrating issue is that these brawlers are paid (early access) So those people who spend money can basically destroy people that didn't pay for it, Plus the prices for those offers are ridiculous
Great points!
At least bling kinda acts like a discount for skins when you buy them with gems
I got brawl pass plus (11000 coins) and had 6000 coins saved up. I just got kit and got him to power 10 with star powers and one gadget and two gears. That's one brawler not even fully maxed. It's like 10000 coins. One brawler.
#Honest Yeah Kairos, I think u summed that up perfectly. One additional thing I might add (and this is very minor and more of a "cosmetical" improvement probably) is to have brawler skin portraits. It's a way of showing off your skins if someone checks out ur profile. Also, I hope their story mode feature will be implemented this year, and maybe a continuation of the history of Starr Park (aka the CCTV footage) because that could be a very engaging and fun experience for the community. It will be a great touch for lore-inspired players such as me to dive into the lives of the brawlers we all know and love... or hate. I believe the CCTV footage was a feature that really got the community engaged with the game. Overall, I'm loving where Brawl is... 5v5, unique new brawlers, win streaks, new bp system etc. U might be right, Brawl is entering a new golden era. Finally, stellar job on the video KT, keep up with the immaculate work!
About that brawler's skin.. we already have it.. when you click on someone 's profile it shows "My favourite Brawler ___ " with its skin as well
@@tanushgoyal260 I mean when u scroll through all the brawlers, not just ur favorite. It might be a bit much, but I thought it would be a cool idea because I saw some great artworks of portraits on social media
@@tanushgoyal260 They're talking about when you visit someone's profile and scroll through their brawlers, like looking at how many trophies they have on every brawler. The brawler portrait is always the default brawler, they're saying it would be cool if the portraits could show brawler skins instead. I do think it will be cool, but I'll add that it could very quickly get very confusing, especially for new players to the point that it's maybe a bad idea unfortunately.
21:13 I was really hoping you'd bring up Chester here. What Chester was supposed to be was a genuinely fun brawler who relied on luck and randomness. What they ended up doing was releasing a broken brawler, nerfed him into the ground, and promptly forgot about him. Now, he's in a niche state where he's unplayable in almost all settings, and just straight up underwhelming for being a legendary brawler
What I hate most in this update is that they didn't change the drop rate for coins in Starr drops to be higher. Although during times of boxes we can buy pps for a brawler when we received alot of money, buy we are running short on coins but very not on pps.
Coin starvation has become a massive problem, sitting on tons and tons of power points means nothing if you have no coins to upgrade any brawler. It's also a problem because coins are needed for a lot of other things such as Gadgets, Star powers, Gears and Hypercharges. Starr drops only exacerbate this due to them usually giving you either Power points (which aren't useful thanks to the reasons stated above), or XP doublers (which are more of a hinderence to your progression anyway). Increasing your chances of getting Coins over the previously mentioned two could alleviate this by a bit.
YES! Martin Schjøler is such an outstanding composer. I listen to the Brawl OST all the time. I like how in the Starrtoon battle theme you can hear the main Brawl Stars leitmotif if you listen for it. It’s so subtle and so perfect. Thank you for mentioning the music, Kairos!
You can hear the brawl stars main leitmotif in literally every song
Kairos please do a video on the concepts and game ideas. If you can somehow make a series of it that'd be cool as well. A lot of the concepts you talk about usually end up in the game so I'd love to see it. I'd love to see more gamemode ideas as well!
I literally opens 30 Star Drops from the bonus rewards and got 3 epic star drops and the rest were rare or superrare 💀 It’s honestly annoying because I was hoping to get a new brawler
I think the issue with the coin thing is, simply put, we don’t get enough coins to actually make meaningful upgrades, and that’s because it costs way too many coins for the non-upgrade upgrades (eg gears and gadgets and star powers and hyper charges). The fact that it takes FIVE EPIC star drops (that all happen to be coins and not useless PowerPoints since you’re sitting on 10k) to get a single gear? That’s actually crazy. Honestly, I feel like all the non-upgrade upgrades should be cut in half price wise, and that would actually make it feel possible to actually max out a brawler
I know im late to this video but you mentioned how hard it is to find brawlers in power league. It would be cool if somehow you could select the brawlers that you want to see on top of the selection list for power league. Like "select favorite brawlers " or sth
I think the one redeeming feature of EXP doublers is when there's a coin-shower event going on, you get more coins. But those seem pretty rare in general and don't happen enough to give EXP doublers good value
10:29 that statement sums up why I love Kairos soo much. always super understanding and caring from both sides
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for mentioning the music in Brawl Stars, literally one of my favorite things about the game. The composer for the game is Martin Schjoler, but from what i know, he isn't really a social media person, so he is very hard to find online. I think his work is great though, always love when the new theme drops!
Literally, for example the Biodome themes, Jungle themes, Water Park, Starr Force themes and the Action Heroes theme are going so hard. I looove listening to them. They just have such a cool vibe to them.
@@The.Sketchy enchanted woods theme... 🔥🔥🔥
Man the dwali lobby music is absolute fire I listened to it for 2 hours everyday while working on school essays
@@terracedflame4702 NO SAME?! I LITERALLY LISTEN TO ALL THE NICE THEMES WHILE DOING STUFF, I THOUGHT I WAS BEING WIERD FOR THAT
@The.Sketchy i do that too
Thanks so much KT for bringing up the PP and gold conversion problem. I'm at that point rn, F2P forever, never spent a penny on the game, and I have all the brawlers. However, I still have 33 to upgrade to power 11, and probably about 65 of my brawlers don't have a single gear. I have around 20,000 powerpoints, but nowhere near enough gold to upgrade everyone to power 11, before even considering gears and now, hypercharges! I have about 10,000 gold, which I'm now saving for Larry and Lawrie. It is a really frustrating issue! It does feel weird that it's like this, yet it costs much more gold to upgrade brawlers than it does powerpoints; there should defo be some sort of conversion system. Great update review once again, cheers KT! #honest
biggest problem is that in power league everyone has maxed out brawlers with hypercharge,and i have barely 5 maxed out brawlers
I completely agree, I never buy gears and I feel they should have a separate currency to fix this problem.
"To the brawler perform well" It is performing well for the ones who's PAYING, the amount of ppl that lost thophys bcs the other team had a p2w is just ridiculous. It is hard to believe that they aren't trying to get ppl's money
31:00 I want brawlers to have an organization by brawler type, like Dealers together, Throwers together, Tanks together, Assassins together, to me that's much easier than the current organizations, in fact I even tested this by printing, cutting out, and then organizing every brawler picture in all the formations and had someone quiz me, I got through the quiz almost six minutes faster than any of the other organization methods provided by the game.
Damn, must’ve taken a long time to research this, id like this feature
Ya broo it's more efficient than any other method...😍👏🤝 I'm glad you bought this to notice
Really big issue for me is that with the new brawl pass format, everything was auto claimed when the season ends. I had thousands of credits saved and 50+ starr drops saved but it all got claimed instantly, before I could even upgrade Larry to power 7 to even get a gadget from the 50 starr drops that it forced me to open. Most of my credits went to fame (would rather save for a future brawler) and all my starr drops got next to no value 😅 just let me save old rewards please
At first I thought the powerpoint cap being removed was nice but seeing that I now have over 12k powerpoints and not enough coins it’s really annoying, thanks for talking about this issue Kairos
i completely agree with you, the 400 token doubleres per day are nice but i really dont want to play the game twice as long every day...
I love the music so much. Ghost Station Battle theme is one of my favorites.
Here are my thoughts: The brawl pass + was my first ingame purchase for brawl stars because it provided so much value and my progression was buffed by a lot. and I completely agree with you about the 400 daily xp. That was just too much grind for me daily and i just ended up doing 200-300 daily but overall the devs did an amazing job with changing the brawl pass and how pay to play is sooo much better now #honest
Awesome video as always! Just one more thing I would like to add that I don't really see being talked about: the fact that some skins come with a pack which includes a legendary starr drop is terrible in my opinion. This is the first time they introduced the option to buy starr drops, even though you also get the skin and other resources. The whole point of removing boxes was to delete gambling from the game, but this honestly feels like gambling to me. I really wish they'll stop selling starr drops like this.
i feel like it would be better if they make the mega pig come 2 weeks instead of a month because sometimes we dont even get good things and having to wait a month for it just feels weird
Agreed cause if it came twice it would feel like we got few stuff, like once a month event.. With so much less rewards ain't fun
Or they can just buff it so players don't get burned out if they make it 2 weeks
Kairos: " Best state " Brawl stars: *releases 3 broken brawlers that took days to get a nerf*
Bros never heard of government mandated vacation, but hey no like many places give it
@@jacobharper9236their break has been over
@@jacobharper9236Bros never heard of intentionally making broken things behind a paywall
Crazy to see how far starr drops have fallen, since that was probably the best piece of advice I got from Kairos' older progression guides.
I’m happy you made this video Kairos. I didn’t know about the doublers being such terrible value, and it annoys the heck out of me that star drops contain them. Makes me wish there was a way to stack my star drops on the bonus track past this season end so I don’t get those doublers.
I came back to the game after almost 3 years. I used to have a club that was top 200 in the states I came back brought the old club back and in one week even my old friends who quit are playing returned and now we are full. I hope supercell capitalizes on all the players returning and give us amazing quality of life updates.
game is in the worst state than ever
I have 10000 power points with 300 gold...I can't even upgrade anything. Power points basically useless. Relatable?
So true, in my main acc I have 24000pp and 3000 coins
Yeah, hopefully they make upgrades for power points only next update
One thing I would like to see is an increase on bling, with both the drop rate and the amount per drop. Nowadays it feels almost impossible to grind for bling, which only (rarely) drops like 20 per star drop
I AGREE WITH THE MUSIC PART they NEEEED to let us pick our own theme song for the game "the bad randoms" theme is legit stull stuck stuck in my head since when it first released
Supercell really removed cap from powerpoint but not from bling🤡
Supercell is turning into Rockstar Games 🤑🤑🤑$$$
then spend your bling?
What if they wish to save for a skin in a future update for a brawler they like? There shouldnt be a bling cap @@randomgem8087
they would have to make the brawl pass paid for them to do that, remember?
@@randomgem8087 what if you have nothin left to buy?
Doubling the daily grind actually made me quit the game. I haven’t played in over a month and I’m not sure I want to come back. I love the game, but with how much time I was sinking into it, I feel so much happier not having to stress about it.
You don't have to quit just try to not stress about it as much i do think your right tho i haven't played much myself because it feels like all the quest and mega pig feels like a chore and im burned out seasons should not be 30 days long yes i like faster updates don't get me wrong but when seasons are that short its super easy to get burned out. I can double confirm it too because i used to play call of duty mobile i still do but barely but they also have 30 day battle passes and having to level up to unlock the new gun every season burns you out SUPER FAST so i think the monthly brawl passes is a really really bad idea and i do think CL should return with a different rework i think mega pig is honestly worse
Great video as always… honest and to the point… I wasn’t aware of the token doublers value thing… thank u for pointing that out.
I am returning from around when belle was added and the thing that made me come back was how almost every brawler save the new ones are completely balanced and how I could bring any brawler into any mode and still dominate if I play correctly
@KairosGaming I wish the catalog had an option to toggle being able to view skins that are not currently purchasable or will never come back. This would be nice to look at. But would also be a great help for new players who get confused when they see a skin that's not in game anymore. Another feature they should include is to make new players only see default skins on every enemy character until they reach a certain level of over all trophies. Oh and #honest
I actually really like the second idea but I don't think they'll do it. Also since recently bots in bot matches can wear skins now
@@DesislavJeliazkov ya it probably advertises the skins to new players. My problem is that so many of my friends have tried picking up the game and quit because it's such a big commitment to learn 70+ brawlers and all their skins. Just yesterday I was playing with my friend and I was like man you should dodged that dynomike super and he was like honestly I had no idea that was dynamike
@rafaelgrigoryan3785 It's not that hard with skins. Brawlers - OK But skins... Not really The skins are specifically designed so that you can easily tell who the brawler is. Devs have said that when asked about it. That is the reason we likely won't see any of the cosmic skins from the China server in global. I'm 50K and out of the 4 cosmic skins they have made, I genuinely couldn't recognize who the brawler is in for any of them (only except for Bo).
@@DesislavJeliazkov spikes isn't too bad either, I was also thinking that when they get to 100 brawlers they're going to need to add like a seasonal brawler rotation, especially for ranked. Like 50 brawls per season or something
@@rafaelgrigoryan3785 I'm not talking about Spike I'm talking about Stu, Mortis, Bo and Emz's skins
The way to balance coins: upgrading brawlers should only cost PP. Gears, SP, gadgets, hypers, should cost coins.
I agree, This is a great idea
i have an easier solution: make it only powerpoints after level 7 so coins wouldn't be useless on lower levels
thats a terrible idea, proggression would be way too fast, ppl could maybe max an account in a year or less
@@maxlee449yea I agree
I’m not sure if you’ll see this but the miracle solution to the coin drought is to stop needing coins to upgrade brawlers. If they’re needed only for one thing early game and then at least four late game you can’t have them ever be balanced. Just leave power points to upgrading brawlers and redistribute some stuff so that every currency has a distinct role and is given evenly to progress.
I think the main thing I have a problem with is how new brawlers come out strong then as the next season comes they become weak. Check out Buster and Chuck. They feel so underwhelming now compared to how they were in the season they were released.
Supercell needs to hire Kairos
they wouldn’t do that, Kairos is too logical
I completely agree with the point were you said that power point conversation is frustrating. As on my main account I'm sitting at 10 THOUSAND POWER POINTS and 200 gold I really hope supercell fixes this issue.
Kairos agree with me that mega boxes were the best part of brawl stars. The feel ing when you saw more than 5 items left was the besssttt
Getting token doublers from star drops just to fill up another one...
ifkrrrr 🤣
Well I Love XP Doubler hear me out. In coin shower event . You will love xp Doubler too much
There is honestly many things that dont make sense in brawl stars though.
#honest Great video Kairos. Great suggestions. One small suggestion I have is that instead of ordering brawlers Alphabetically I would suggest the introduction of a brawler tagging system that you would then be able to filter for. Where you can mark certain brawlers as "Favourites", or "Power League" and like that these brawlers will be prioritised on Brawler Selection screens.
Kairos i am very thankful for u bringing this problem about xp.i did not know this at all so thank you and there are probaly many other people who dont know this
I didn't get to the end of the pass so easily (f2p). You have to play ALL THE TIME to get there soon. And yeah, xp is too grindy, even for f2ps
Remember guys, although the free pass is slightly buffed, having starrdrops in the tail end seems to be a nerf because in the last season I got 6000 coins, 600 credits and 2400 powerpoints just from bonus reward. I highly doubt that I can get half as much from this season's bonus reward drops. Edit: I did not forget that the old one is 2 months and new one is 1 month, that's why i said "half as much".
Nah the bonus rewards before they got "nerfed"(5 credits is nothing, pretty much removed them) were insanely good
Yeah, I just don't like starrdrops. I don't like the idea of grinding out my quests just to get one starrdrop with 25 power points to add to my stack of 15k that I can't use because I don't have enough gold
You have to remember that this season is half the time, so you need to add two seasons together
I play regular i just made it tier 50 and after seeing 1600 for a rare drop 90% of the time that's just wrong and it's time to quit and the apples to oranges tweet from frank really touched a nerve
@@Witsie true and that's why I said "half as much".
I am so glad you made this video, as a long time fan of brawl stars, I hadn’t touched the game since the fang season and coming back now and seeing all these changes especially to the brawl pass is a bit overwhelming, your video helped me understand what is new and what to spend my gems on 😀
I've seen the idea to make upgrades only with power points, saving coins for gadgets etc. Maybe theynwould have to increase the amout of power points needed, but I think that'd be a good idea.
I haven’t seen kairos so happy before
I hate what brawl stars is now. The new brawl pass doesn't allow me to play when I want, I wanted to take a week break to prepare for a very important exam and missed the time to complete the brawl pass. There are not enough coins and all the new brawlers are broken. All hypercharges needed to be released at once. I love brock, but he is literally useless now. I wanted to push him to rank 30, but he is too trash now. Balance does not exist anymore, thinking about leaving this game.
Btw, Kairos, I have an amazing story for you, maybe it'll even be worth making a video about. But I don't have a way to send it to you, where and how can I contact you?
This is 100% true. New brawl pass is very grindy and hypercharges and broken new releases damage the balancing
i like the increase to 400 XP, but grinding did become a bit of a chore. especially with 3 daily quests and what seemed like more quests than normal, it started to wear me out midway through the season, and i ended up missing days for my quests and xp that got capped out
I love how you addressed the overpowered new brawlers kairos! I agree, I did feel like it was malicious but can see the point you made.
New brawlers like kit and Larry and lawrie is just like the evolutions in clash royale (same company same approach)💀
Fun fact in my country there are two brawlers that the translators changed their name. 1. Collette was changed to Sofia because in my language colt is written the same way as Collette. 2. Bibi is changed to Bouble probably because of Bibi Netaniahu who is my country's prime minister
Cool!
@@casper14301 but this is annoying as hell cause there's some players who call these brawlers by they're changed name and then I have to correct myself when I say the original names
@@shay-pf9kk Yeah it might cause some problems haha
yeah, on my country surge is called wattson (brazil), and i know that on france sprout is called wally or sum like that
🇮🇱
When he talked about power league skins, the only thing he changed was that you can buy the skin, which means more revenue. However for the players time being valued, he literally said you should be able to grind it out and then buy it with bling, which is literaly how it is right now, so no change for player time value.
Havoc's ideaa
I want there to be more customisation to the controls e.g. the ability to turn buttons more transparent so I can see things behind it. Occasionally,when playing I won't be able to see an enemy due to one of the buttons and its irritating.
Still waiting for that best brawlers to pick on hall of fame video
"The First" was a super bad title for the first brawl pass to use this system. I hope next season isn't "The Second" 💀
I would like to see you talk about brawlers that need to be buffed and nerfed since i feel like supercell takes a lot of your thoughts into context. Some brawlers are almost unplayable at this point man.
i just came back after 2 years and i noticed that brawler rarities are back to normal. I honestly think this was an amazing change considering that Legendary brawlers were always the best ones back in the day and I didn't really like the new chromatic system they had in place
0:53 yeah numbers wise it's doing great cuz people have to log in every day and collect every single reward in order to not be left behind. But that makes it more of a grind and less fun
i totally agree with you, i was even searching in the comments for ur comment
Where are the 100% honest video's from the second and third update of 2024??
Lol 100% agree, what happened to allowing us to mass open star drops. Great video and so much good info
Thanks for addressing the powerpoint problem, I am currently sitting at 19 thousand powerpoints and 2000 coins, I have every brawler almost maxed out but I now have no way of keeping up with a new bralwer every month plus 6 hypercharges every two months. This means unless i spend money, i will never be completely maxed out. I hope they fix this #honest
20:31 the way kairos said a really controversial topic is just... ❤ The words he picked.. and the sentences he formed and on top of that.. the explaination... ❤ Damn I am really glad to have a content creator like him ❤
I stopped playing brawl stars a little bit after they removed boxes, then I came back recently and I must say that, though I was overwhelmed by the new stuff at first, brawl stars actually is a lot more enjoyable now than from what I remember it being and I'm glad I got back into it I used to watch you're channel when I played the game and I'm glad I found you again, can't wait to experience more of the new stuff!
The problem with those xp doublers is that they double only the daily xp (so 200 for a f2p) so if you double/triple the amount of xp doubler in the offers and in the star drop, it wont change anything cause you don't have enough daily xp to use the doublers
Also forgot to mention the unskippable trophies reset.. so annoying 🤣 but for the rest I completely agree with you!
Token doublers rework idea: change them into mastery doublers, that doubles the amount of mastery points u get for a certain amount of mastery points.
great idea
My main problem with balancing in this game is not necessarely new Brawlers being ridiculously broken, but more previous ones being busted for way too long. Best example is Fang, he was broken due to a buff he did not actually need, then they nerfed him so he was not broken anymore but still very good. Now they had the genious idea to release his hypercharge making it possible to win by just spamming buttons. It just feels like "popular Brawler treatment", when a Brawler is broken and loved by a big part of the players, this Brawler will most likely stay broken or at least good for a very long time (other than Fang this might also apply to Cordelius and Maisie), when other Brawlers who arent as popular though being broken too are just being nerfed til nobody cares about playing them anymore (Lola, Chester or Hank might be good examples). Another thing I also dislike about balancing are these random changes that a Brawler didnt really need and they become broken (or at least really annoying) like the recent Bo buff (despite the nerfs he just got, he still feels annoying and is one of those Brawlers I feel forced to ban every match in Powerleague) or Rico.
Haven't had a problem with Rico, and with Bo whenever it's any Hotzone map on power league its always extremely annoying to face because some randoms and Hotzone will just constantly rush zone not caring about getting mid control im looking at all you tank mains 😂 jokes aside though Bo specifically in hotzone always pisses me off but any other mode its a bad pick imo. Rico the only annoying thing is that stupid gadget lol
@@iamdeerman Yeah Rico isnt as badly annoying as Bo, but on certain maps he is just so unbarable.
I’m not sure if you are but could you make a lore video about the CCTV Brawl Stars Video? I love your brawl theory vids and I watched it and found some interesting things.😅
Great video kairos. I think most points you had were solid but I do think paid titles are good as it works for players like me who don't really have the time (or don't want to grind) to get a single title to adorn their player cards.
Thank god kairos talked about the power league skin, its really sad
Kairos: I have no titels. Also Kairos: showing off his "The janitor" title throughout the entire video.
Thats not his account. That guy is MoxieMoron who records gameplay for Kairos.
@@QuanCena220I saw the account makes sense now lol
Thanks for your detailed analysis, it was great seeing all of it and you addressed many important points there! #honest I don't remember of all of it right now but among them: - I agree about the paid titles, when I first saw it I instantly felt "wow that's looks amazing!", and right after realising it's given when buying the brawl pass, I felt the satisfaction of reaching the point of earning a title really decreased to me, especially when seeing at almost every match between 1 to 3 persons having the same title gotten from the brawl pass (but I do agree your points to support the game is great!) - Double xp feels invisible to me now because you get so many from the star drops that I have never reached 0 double xp, so whenever I get new ones, I just feel like it's going to be added up to the pile I already have, and, well, absolutely no way of buying it with gems when I can buy other stuff that adds so much value in my experience of the game (like supercharge) - I too have 6k power points and few hundreds of gold which doesn't make so much sense for me since power points is only used to upgrade brawlers while gold is used... also to upgrade brawlers, but also to buy all their gadgets, power stars and gears, gold is the main currency there, I think we should get more of it than we actually get - You have a great suggestion about the power league skin (unlock the ability to buy it with blings) Some things I've experienced and WISHED so much a change for it because of how it is affecting me: - I am really sad that we cannot save credits now, I have been saving all my credits to get Kit when he was released, but since the old season stopped to start the new one, all the unclaimed rewards were automatically added to the account which forced me to use all my credits to pick other brawlers than the one I wanted (I had to spend all of it (worth a legendary brawler and an epic one) before being able to choose to spend credits for the new Brawler, that's super super sad regarding how the new brawlers are the main great thing of the game) - Other thing related to my point just above: when Larry & Lawrie were released, I thought to pause my progression of having Kit to unlock Larry & Lawrie and start again saving for Kit (again, new brawlers is the primary source of excitement I get from the game), but doing so Kit was placed back behind 5 brawlers to unlock (2 of them are legendaries, which means the highest amount of credits) before being able to unlock Kit which is literally killing my hopes to play Kit until.... a year? A year and a half? I wish there would be something like undoing this action or explicitly mentioning that, whenever we change the brawler we're currently unlocking for the new one, the old one would not be the next one we have on the road of brawlers
Im used to be a free to play clash royale player, and ngl it feels like im gettin vietnam flashbacks, but appareantly free to play progression was buffed somehow so i guess its all good
Honestly starr drops should give more bling instead of random profile pictures,pins and skins. That way we can buy the cosmetic we want instead of getting cosmetics we never use. I cant be the only one getting angry when getting a skin from a legendary drop instead of a brawler or credits
They can't do that, because if they did nobody would buy the skins with money.
holy how much are they paying you
To be honest he’s right and I always agree with him on these videos
When you talked about the power points I finally felt like someone understands my pain 😂. Whenever I open a star drop and get power points it takes sooooo long for them to claim 😂
I saw plenty of people talking about it the xp doublers being useless before the update. They still didn’t change it. I doubt they will for tomorrow either
Let's go!
