The popular mobile game, Brawl Stars, continues to provide entertainment and induce competition for its players. In particular, the discussion surrounding the recent release of the character Mico has been fascinating. Yet, this controversy has led to a split community on whether Mico is a balanced character or not.

Summary

  • There is an ongoing debate on Mico’s balance
  • Mico is described as fun to play, yet hard to play against
  • Some players are calling for Mico’s removal from the game
  • Overall, negative sentiment outweighs the positive

The Controversy

Community member NitroZeusGodtier calls out Supercell for releasing brawlers that are ‘totally invulnerable’ to many other characters. This argument is echoed by MakisYujiPicsStache and TimeToBrawlReddit who believe Mico should’ve never been released.

Two Sides of a Coin

However, some community members stand on the other side of the barricade. For example, elBlato finds Mico ‘both balanced and unbalanced’, while SobtastixV2 finds him fun but difficult to play against.

Expert Opinions?

Interestingly, BenDover9274 implies that Mico can be considered good only if you know how to play him.

After a month of the character’s release, the Brawl Stars’ community continues to debate about Mico’s nuanced gameplay.
