The much-loved mobile game ‘Brawl Stars’ triggers a considerable amount of discussion within its international fanbase. A recurring subject among players, however, involves an unanticipated negative sentiment spiralling around a certain female character. A post by ‘iamtherealazan’ titled ‘why does everyone hate her?’ provoked a vast array of fan speculations and justifications for their disdain.
Community Insights
- Fans observe an unwanted disparity with the character’s robot design in a trio that otherwise reportedly detests robots
- Many allude to an overpowering release that led to an unbalanced gameplay
- A lack of interesting mechanics and a strategy revolving around idle play till a heatwave charges up are other deterrents
- Along with her perceived undesirable attributes, an ideation shift presents her as out-of-place in the Brawl universe.
The Trio Misfit
Player ‘Dumb_Siniy’ and ‘ayumi_ir’ talk about the character’s misplacement in her trio. Dumb_Siniy accuses her presence as a machine in a trio that ‘hates robots’, while ayumi_ir harps on the abruptness of her introduction, calling it ‘too fast.’
Huge Power Irks Many
Impressions around the character’s initial overpowering release seem common. Players ‘Dumb_Siniy’ and ‘ayumi_ir’ claim she was ‘stupid OP on release’ and ‘broken on her release’, respectively. Their comments suggest a balance patch following her entry could have been better executed.
Uninteresting Gameplay Experience
‘W-MK29’ describes her as ‘annoying to play against and boring to play as.’ There’s a shared sentiment that she promotes passive gameplay. This leads to unengaging duals, as itself affirmed by ‘TourAny2745’ who declares her to be a ‘snooze fest to play.’
Ultimately, the negativism towards her correlates largely with her incongruous origins, overpowered release and tedious gameplay. While these fan impressions might be representative of larger trends, perhaps it’s a catalyst for developers to consider while curating their set of characters in the future. Subsequent releases may be seen as an opportunity to rectify past shortcomings, enabling a better rapport with the Brawl Stars community. Here’s hoping for a harmonious future, where characters are both intriguing to play with, as they are cohesive within their respective lore.
