There’s been a rising kerfuffle within the Brawl Stars community as players attempt to grapple with the unexpected gadget surprise from the well-known character in the game – Leon. It appears, from a recent popular discussion, that some users are finding it confounding as to why Leon, a legendary brawler himself, has an ability easily available to another character, Kit.
Summary
- The confluence of feelings around Leon’s new gadget predominantly centers on an incongruity in the dynamics of the game.
- There is a sense of disappointment over the apparent ‘super squishy’ nature of Kit, despite his all-powerful gadget.
- The financial aspects come into play with users speculating revenue generation being a possible reason for this decision.
- Leon’s gadget does not offer the uniqueness commonly associated with legendary brawlers, sparking a debate on its utility.
Unearthing the Controversy
The post, originating from user pleasendmyfckinglife, kicks off the discussion on why Kit, has a gadget distinctly similar to Leon’s super, especially when the latter is meant to have a unique play-style, a trait of legendary brawlers. Much to chagrin of the author, this is seen as a dilution of the identity Leon is supposed to have (source).
Speculating the Reasons
User AwayWillingness5223 paints a more cynical picture suggesting that this could purely be a financial move, cynically saying, ‘Cuz if Kit is op then they could sell more early access bundles. That’s not the reason but it’s probably the reason’ (source).
Implications on Gameplay
Juxtaposing these perspectives is Serious_Trouble8275 who brings up the discussion around game dynamics – ‘Anyone also think that you should be able to see him from a longer range. I have died so many times to kits that just run up on my and jump me in a millisecond’ (source).
While the addition of Leon’s gadget to Kit’s artillery is causing widespread confusion and annoyance in the gaming community, it’s clear there doesn’t seem to be a universal agreement on its impact on the gameplay. Whether it’s deflating the value of Leon, a legendary brawler, rigging the game’s dynamics, or simply just another corporate play, it’s safe to say, Brawl Stars’ latest move has the community in a brawl of its own.
