[@LucasK-cf5wd]

the new progression now makes me so jealous of new players. Like seriously people are getting légendaires and mythics before getting all of the rares

[@amogussus6942]

yeah, and we get 80 credits instead of a legendary starr drop that new players get. They get so more progression than older players get

[@aleksandarsimic4745]

I got my first legendary in 23k

1:49 how does he say that lol

[@user-eo5mr2mj1c]

i think what supercell was tryna do with the removal of tap-to-move was trying to make the game less casual and more competitive in general. Since its non comparable that almost everyone is going to play way better with 2 joysticks rather than with tap to move

[@iamkj2008]

[@User-le1js]

Box removal was great . Boxes were too much based on luck and people just love them because of nostalgia . Of course boxes were exciting but star road is much better system .

[@gewnurb]

of course games are exciting, but doing something in real life is a much better system

6:42 it was too overwhelming, the effects of adding level 11 are felt to this day...

[@Harchato_soto]

When havoc uploads but it's a brawl star update the most controversial thing

[@Hi_i_exist]

I know this will sound ABSOLUTELY made up but boxes are the source of one of my best memories of the game: i was playing with a friend on WhatsApp, he asks me if i want to play brawl and i say "bro, imagine if i get enough tokes for a box, open it and get Leon" as a joke... And then it ACTUALLY happened ☠️☠️☠️😭

[@IluminousOne-9.7.2]

[@aboveeeee]

I hate boxes. Fight me.

[@ERROR10188]

I loved boxes but i got my first legendary in the 3rd seson in a big box from the bonus rewards. It was amber i was happy but i hate her more than everything on my acc she is rank 18

[@Tonkatabatko]

6:42 also a bad part when gears were in boxes every time in a box it showed 6 or 7 items bc of gears scrap and tokens so you can’t be excited you’ll get something from the box until you get an 8

[@whoisthisnoyes]

I definitely would say i kinda miss when it was just level 9. I had over 10 brawlers at level nine with gadgets and star powers and i didnt return to brawl stars until this year and now i gotta go grinding to get to level eleven

[@joshuadavis2175]

We have to remember that SC is owned by Tencent now and they need to make their numbers. New brawlers released with an early access deal for money are op on purpose

[@maksimvalitov3055]

I thin k boxes where good cause of how mutch excited you get then you see that six in the bottom right corner but when your missing only legendarys credits are better because you will at least get them unlike with boxes. Boxes its better forbearly game and worse for late game

[@danieltolkachov2404]

Mega boxes were not removed because brawl stars suddenly decided to do that. Finland, the country where brawl stars office and all of supercell is located banned loot boxes in video games that have a player base including underage. They decided that loot boxes are a form of gambling basically. And underage are not allowed to gamble. Ig how brawl stars brought back randomality, with star drops was by making them only free, no star drops in the brawl pass plus no star drops that you can be for gems extra. Also I think that is why they are doing those stupid pay walls, with paying gems and then 3 "free" stuff then paying gems and then again

[@LEGENDARYEXEwastaken]

Love your videos Can you make more brawl stars videos ( if you want too )

[@bbguy2245]

Box removal was actually great. But I do miss them.

[@milanomaster]

0:58 Is that actually true? Wasn't it to do with regulations in the Netherlands, South Korea, Belgium (and the United Kingdom?) or just the debate on random lootboxes in general?

[@milanomaster]

1:04 Nevermind lmao. Guess those 6 seconds really matter XDDD

[@zinzincoetzee1934]

[@hehehehaw5484]

7:45 and for the Irish player xd

[@nilpyc307]

brawl stars: we remove boxes to make the game less pay to win oso brawl stars: adds purposely unplay tested over power brawlers and lock them behind a pay wall for a week and when the free to play players can even get them they are instantly get nerf to the ground

[@zway8950]

The game would be a bit dry if there wasnt something overpowered and exciting every update, unless you want another lily release Situation which was.. just awful, so its a good thing since they get nerfed rather quickly

[@whyismyimageunavailable2378]

arent u guys also the same people that complain when brawlers ARENT op or fun? nothing can make u happy 🤣

After the gear rework, the team decided to increase speed for all brawlers and add like more health and damage to all brawlers which… I didn’t get why? But at the point the classic brawl stars died.

[@ReadyplayeroneYT]

I’m sorry BETTER rewards from Starr drops? Yea maybe a chance to get better rewards but overall the box’s are more cons it ain’t and give better rewards that the Starr drops, I have never gotten a brawler from a Starr drop

[@whyismyimageunavailable2378]

starr drops arent the main source of progression. boxes were. hope that helps

[@ReadyplayeroneYT]

@@whyismyimageunavailable2378 Ik that’s what he was saying he was acting like they were a complete replacement to box’s they weren’t he didn’t even mention credits that much he just went straight to Starr drops lol

[@Jason_x_rnk_25_]

A greed decision is adding the brawl pass + , like its ok if u want people to spend money to get limited stuff but let us buy the normal brawl pass with gema

[@whyismyimageunavailable2378]

it got buffed keep coping

[@NovaMaster375]

Forgetting the new Pass+ is the same price as the old pass, which is now cheaper with better rewards

[@broccoliboy9673]

Is it wrong for me to not know anything about this game or ever have played it?

[@ayanaryan7982]

Technically its a safe not a box so i vote on star drop:they make a good choice and no body would tell me any thing you can try saying to me 🙄

[@Mintymoonlight4ever]

I totally get the hate of boxes and not getting what you want but we all are struggling with coins,right? We’re all poor as hell. You say boxes are inconsistent but at least they always gave a couple coins! Getting 5 boxes would get you like maybe 1000 coins? I don’t remember. 5 star drops can give you none or maybe like 250

Brawl stars (: Bra stars /;

[@TanmaY_TalK]

Problem with Brawl Stars (I have been playing continuously since 2021): (1) Star drops: mega boxes had much more probability to unlock new brawlers as the highest reward was brawler but with stupid star drops highest reward is legendary star drop which most of the time gives stupid skins sometimes gadget, star power, and rarely hypercharge. All in all if star drop has a 1% chance to be legendary you also need to open 100 legendary star drops to get a brawler. (2) Pay to win system: although p2w aspect of this game is much lesser than squad buster but when a new brawler arrives with only real money purchase option the brawler was broken I mean totally meta but when we got that after the release in brawler unlocking road the brawler get heavily nerfed.

[@qfv33]

I AGREE

[@whyismyimageunavailable2378]

1. starr drops arent the main source of progression. boxes were. hope that helps! 2.just wait. it’s not that hard🤣

[@Lovegame-o2e]

1 despite most people opinion it's easily one of the best change by far 2 it was really bad 3 Yeah can't defend it was ass 4 the new one is way better it give more access to the bew brawler which is what everyone wants 5 didn't play in this time so idk Most of this controversial change are just beacuse most people are so stuck in the past

Every single one of these was a good update.. except for the gears cost at launch 1. star road + wildcard power points + star drops(for dopamine) >>>>>>>>>>>>> boxes.. boxes were extremely unfair and f2p who's been playing for several years will still miss ~10 brawlers. In new system for first time f2ps have all the brawlers 2. Leon Update: Brawlers that weren't OP at launch still struggle to be remembered by players, even after receiving buffs. 3. Brawl pass rework: the old pass allowed f2ps to get the latest chromatic brawler and some cool skins.. right now, there's no chromatic rarity and f2ps now receive sooo many skins that they complain on Reddit if a legendary star drop gives a skin
