The ‘F Tier’ brawlers in Brawl Stars have sparked quite the debate among the game’s fan community. Post author Axeteron initiated a discussion on potential balance changes, sparking an interesting array of responses.

Summary

  • Many players find proposed changes overpowered whilst others appreciate Axeteron’s approach.
  • The concept of movement during attack for Frank receives mixed responses.
  • Consistent theme of each brawler preserving its unique playing style.
  • Doug’s potential upgrade creates both positive anticipation and concern around his capability.

Throwing Punches: Frank’s Proposed Enhancements

An intriguing proposition to improve Frank’s abilities has stirred varied opinions. WarlockerGame fears that an updated Frank capable of movement during an attack would make the character ‘too OP and boring to play’. Whereas AlphaDashEX suggests that ‘buffs’ such as gear additions or hypercharge could be beneficial for adding an edge in higher level matches without overwhelming lower rank games.

Healing Hank: Broadening Character Traits

The discussion shifts towards other characters, where a call for Hank to be given the ‘tank trait’ by BlakeCee offers a compelling idea. However, Key-Meringue5433 says it won’t happen, as allegedly stated by Brawl Stars’ own Adrian.

Dabbling Doug: A Buff Too Far?

The debate reaches its pinnacle when Doug’s reconfiguration is discussed. Axeteron’s suggestion that Doug should apply a variety of buffs with his normal attack opens room for compatibility issues. For instance, Bestt1406 suggests that Doug might end up being ruined by these supposed nerfs, while TaejChan states Doug could be ‘a killing machine’ if paired with damage gear.

So, with players energetically wading into this heated debate with their favorite (or perhaps least favorite) characters in mind, it’s clear one thing’s for certain: change is inevitable. As the Brawl Stars universe continues to expand, balance is needed. And as Brawl Stars players demonstrate, they’re all too willing to get down and dirty to help shape the direction their favorite game takes.
