How One Buff Ruined Frank

[@Herobrine-lc6fn]

even a good brawler is considered skilled when it has weaknesses, but frank's buff got rid of the one main weakness he had, like how fang hypercharge got rid of fang's only weakness and made him 'unskilled'

[@Eggoroni]

same goes with rico and spike's gadgets, they cover up most weaknesses ( but at least they still rewuire skill :/ )

[@Herobrine-lc6fn]

@@Eggoroni i would say rico's weakness is a lack of walls against marksmen like piper or damage dealers like colt

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

When hypercharges were first released the bigger stat buffs were for stats the brawler lacked, coverinf their weaknesses. So they nerfed that because it wasn't reasonable. Adding counterplay to the counterplay is not really reasonable, Cordelius has that as his concept and he was the best brawler in the game at release and never got anywhere under A tier.

[@TQGokuNB]

I think Frank was always just a low skill brawler, it just took more time to master him which is different.

[@TimmyTimayd]

Can't wait for a Doug buff/rework/hypercharge so people will say that they missed the days when he was a "skilled" brawler

[@SashiCibie-bv4wp]

Now tomfix frank when he has max hp he should have the same delay but when low hp he will have short delay so player's will have to risk dieng to be insanely broken wich would make him less good or thay could make him have the long delay but have like 3500 damage and like 1500 hp

[@nizuma_8341]

I could not disagree more. Its not like Doug being the worst brawler in the game is slmehow making him a more skillful brawler than Byron, one of the best. Similarly with Frank, his delay didn't make him any more a skillful brawler, it just made him incredibly bad. Frank has been good in the past without his delay being tweaked but it has always been his HP and not sure how effective another HP buff would be.

[@edanro9787]

Doug can be more skilled than Byron in most of the maps, you need to dodge a lot and find the perfect moments where you should attack. People only use it on bushy maps where he is unskilled. And Byron attacks aren't that hard to aim.

[@nizuma_8341]

@@edanro9787 again, Doug being a bad brawler is why you're forced to put as much effort into doing that. Dodging takes skill yes, but dodging isn't something exclusive to Doug. Besides, realistically on most maps no one is letting Doug near them and works better as a pocket healer. While I agree Byron isn't that hard to play, there is a certain level of skill to him that differentiates bad Byron's from good Byron's .

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

@@edanro9787 these fundamentals are required to any brawler, especially tanks. Also, people run him on bushy maps because there's where he works. Going Doug in an open map will never work, no matter how good you are at him

Meg's reputation plummetted as well after her rework, I wasn't around when Frank was buffed so I don't what kind of nightmare it was. But apparently both went the same, sad way...

[@lost_Selenian]

Meg, Frank and chester were all reworked on the same day and all went into S tier

[@Lrvxsdk]

I got Frank to Rank 30 before his rework, when he was the brawler with the highest skill cap in the game.

[@potat5216]

just because he was a bad brawler does not mean he was high skill cap ☠️ be honest. his playstile was too slow for the way the game is and he need something to help him compete, could they have done something else yea but the low health faster attack mechanic is still a unique way to solve that problem

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

Frank was always no skill. For a brawler to be loe skill it doesn't have to be strong, just have a kit that is easy to use to the max potential. For example, i don't believe Shelly is no skill since even though her kit is basic, it is hard to use her the best possible way. Frank is just tanking everything and trying to get super, and different from other tanks he doesn't require good movement since he physically can't have good movement and his shot is just massive. Mico might not be meta, but the most you have to learn is when to not auto aim (since 80% of the time you will want to auto aim) and attacking at a super landing to make use of the hit stun because of the knockback, which makes Mico low skill as that's all you have to take in consideration

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

Btw being hard to run doesn't mean it takes skill. No matter how good you were with Frank you'd hardly have a good way to use him. So the buff made sense since he can't dodge or have movement and his only actual funcition was tanking, so rewarding him for doing so was correct, they just did it WAY too much. Now Frank is pretty weak (or just boring to play, i don't see him as often as before) and still at least a decent tier on meta

[@gcrbn]

He was definitively skillful before. You needed good positioning and to plan out your moves before you started an engagement with an enemy, while taking into account his attack that crippled himself. In that regard, he was very similar to 8-bit: high health, high damage, but something that pulls you back, in 8-bit's case his slow movement speed.

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

@@gcrbn 8 bit needs aim and supports. He has range and damage to make up for his lack of movement and you have to work around it, with both a gadget and a star power to complement this idea very well. Frank requires anything a tank does except he physically can't have good movement, so he basically serves to tank (more than anyone else) and push back enemies on lanes (which every other tank does)

[@gcrbn]

Yes, this shows how with the rework they didn't handle frank well, differently from 8-bit who with time got a really nice kit

[@isaacleibniz2437]

he was skilled and he's still skilled lol

[@dumbvillage9253]

I get the idea, but this buff takes quite a lot of identity away from Frank for no real reason. Frank's reload is balanced around his unload time. He is a complete menace with instant attacks, when he can pull his punches instantly.

[@C0rner_Dweller]

Holy dogvinci, this is such a great video...!!

[@KnownAsJestro]

they did my boy frank dirty 😭 Before his rework, I got him to r30 and his mastery on march, and I have to say it was hard to play him with the metas and brawlers that easily counter him. I even played him in power league/ranked and he used to be skillful. Now, supercell just reworked him so you don't have to worry about getting countered mid/close range. Press red button + pull gadget and guaranteed kill. Hope Supercell does something for him one day

[@Gojira107]

The stronger the brawler is dosent always means it's no skill

[@paul-burger8269]

Brawl stars players when the worst brawler in the game becomes meta After 4 years of being the bottom of every tier list( why are you people so obsessed with the idea of being skilled, you guys are laughable)

[@LeonardoDogvinci]

Nah it’s just the fact that I hate how they completely butchered one of Franks main core, his delayed attack. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a miracle to see Frank jumping from F to S tier, but the way he did that isn’t the right way. It’s like making Hank getting his bubble fully charge in the spam of 1 second. Yea that will make him powerful, but it completely ruins what makes Hank unique

[@EdsaelA.PenaNieves]

@@LeonardoDogvinci Thing is that was the only thing that was keeping him at the bottom of F tier. Besides, even with the rework, his super was still easy to counter, and you could just stay away.

[@TheMethodFake]

Why are you mad about it tho? First: let the hates hate Second: at the very least frank is actually usable now

[@LeonardoDogvinci]

Frank was always usable before the rework, it's just very hard to do so. You just need to understand his special delay attack. However, the rework basically removing the delay perk doesn't do Frank justice. I don't hate it tho, because at least they give my boy Frank some love, but I don't find this change very well executed.
