Meeple’s projectile is MASSIVE but the range is pretty LOW, it also kind of TAPERS off at the end making it a little awkward to shoot, overall I think this brawler is just going to FADE away into irrelevance unless it gets a rework.

[@WhatIsMyNamerson]

Lowwww taper fade

[@HipHopStrider]

[@BSLyles]

I swear he won’t tho, just simply due to him being so versatile

[@ishitatiwari6056]

@@BSLyles he's not versatile. Not good into most brawlers unless it's just tanks

@@ishitatiwari6056 He is tho, he’s literally like a jack of all trades like Chester. He can deal with assassins decently, he can deal with sniper’s decently, he can deal with throwers decently, he can deal with almost every class in some way do to his gadgets. Like even tanks he can do decently against bc of his gadgets. All it takes is some team play around his gimmicky mechanics and then he genuinely seems pretty strong (obviously not broken) but like he’s definitely better than people are giving him credit for

The second gadget maybe, especially stopping the ball since you can't guarantee a goal in that massive radius. But infinite walls? If it was a weaker gadget it could be since it's very situational (like Angelo that has the same glitch) but in this case they must patch that asap

[@JacobRoberts-i4e]

8:23 what an insane jump from edgar

[@BSLyles]

Tbh people are so heavily sleeping on his 2nd gadget, the dice one takes a decent amount of team coordination (which most randoms don’t really have) to actually make it super impactful (since meeple himself sometimes can’t really make the most out of gadget. The 2nd gadget is literally just easier to use and also provides meeple with a really good way to deal with any agression which is one of his biggest weaknesses. Still think the first gadget is better but 2nd is definitely good as well

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

The unload speed and super throwing range are the biggest problem. This is not the same case as Draco or Lily, and really a radius nerf in the first gadget and that's one of the best star power and gadgets kit

[@masonseminario7435]

You are underrating the second gadget so hard it’s not even funny. It cancels literally every animation and is very useful for chasing people when they are low

[@exodiatheforbid9355]

It also deleted the minecart.

[@sparky6757]

I feel like the "one broken ability" problem is _really_ easy to solve and I don't know why Supercell hasn't already done it. Literally just nerf the broken ability and buff other stats, it's not hard to do. Meeple's wall gadget is way too strong when it lasts 4 seconds? Make it 3 or 2.5. Add an extra 1/3-2/3 tile of range on the primary. Lily's vanish is a free approach or free escape? Make the act of entering the shadow realm briefly reveal you as it activates, like most attack activations (this wouldn't functionally affect Cordelius because he's already revealed when launching his super), then buff super damage a bit or something. And if they're still in a state where one gadget is completely necessary for their kit to function, do it again. Cut the wall down to 2 seconds and give a damage buff. Cut the vanish to 2 seconds and give an HP buff. Simple numbers things.

[@im2noob4bronze]

good point about the Meeple stuff, but Lilly's gadget is considered broken?? i've started playing a month ago and i unlocked her, and that gadget seems pretty fair to me. she is a glass cannon so she must approach unseen, and since you don't know where the enemies are you often miscalculate on their position if they move. 3 secs seems like a fair time to me, but maybe more experienced players make much better use of it? idk

[@sparky6757]

@im2noob4bronze Lily's gadget is only "balanced" because the rest of her kit is bad enough that an overpowered gadget on her doesn't seem overly strong. Imagine if Frank had the ability to become both invisible and intangible for 3 seconds at a button press, and could pop up anywhere - that would be absurd. Now, if that was the only problem, I'd be perfectly happy to just see Lily's other gadget buffed to be crazy strong, so that there wouldn't be a "right gadget" and "wrong gadget". Unfortunately, Lily's gadget is toxic to play against. Like any other source of invisibility, there are tells to look out for - you haven't seen Lily for a while? She's probably popped her gadget. But where you could just shoot the area you think the Leon/Kit/Sandy is (and reveal them if you're right), there's really no way to stop Lily other than playing a brawler who has a knockback gadget or a lot of HP. And losing because you happened to run into a brawler that you had no counterplay against is never fun. There's more to balance than aiming for giving every brawler a reasonable pick rate and win rate - fun matters, too. And when a brawler has one specific gadget that they cannot function without AND makes the game less fun for the opponents, that's not a good state of balance.

[@im2noob4bronze]

@@sparky6757 hmm i guess this applies to matchmaking higher than mine. Lilly is rare for high-bronze i'm in rn, i got her from a stardrop and really liked her. So i haven't played against her a lot to form opinion from the other side

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

Meeple doesn't depend on the first gadget, both gadgets feel almost essential but if you can go either way i don't see the problem. I don't like how Draco needs that gadget or how Lily's first gadget outclasses the other so bad. Yes, Meeple's first (and maybe second) gadget needs some nerfs but it isn't a huge problem imo. Btw saying Meeple stinks without the first gadget is not true, imo the second is just as good

[@AJ_._._]

I don't understand the consensus with the 2nd star power being better. It's only +5% more than the reload gear except with two conditions: You need a super and you need to be standing in it. For reference, Berry's SP gives 50%. 20% extra reload is hardly noticeable. The 1st star power changes way more interactions than people think and its a pretty noticeable change in my experience.

[@aptokro3005]

Your whole team can get it though

[@AJ_._._]

@aptokro3005 That's 3 conditions for the SP to be valuable. At best, everyone is getting an extra 0.5 ammo, and that's at the cost of bunching up. Rarely all 3 players are going to be standing in the super in a real game.

[@bedlamBS]

The first star power has those same conditions, except the 2nd condition is harder where you need to be shooting through a wall. The damage is really good though, so it's not bad by any means

[@pbToast03]

The reload gear that Meeple..... doesn't..... have..... use your brain

[@AJ_._._]

@@pbToast03 Usually I avoid stupid comments but wow, I can't resist this one. Learn what comparisons are.

[@eduardpeeterlemming]

I love when Supercell releases a new brawler that counters the previous new brawler. Meeple was to counter Shade, Shade was to counter Juju, Juju was to be overly versatile

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

Meeple doesn't counter Shade and Shade doesn't counter Juju. You could say the opposite even

[@justcallmeghosty]

This is another example of "the new brawler is either broken or useless" btw, love you pooks ;)

[@anidiot4801]

The second gadget can cancel supers btw, like Janet’s Brock’s and Colt’s. Anything that has a long animation, and it works regardless of the amount of health that Meeple has.

[@xaius4348]

I think it'd be cool if the super extended Meeple's range by a tile or 2, to account for this weakness.

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

Not a terrible idea tbh, maybe the super would almost lose the original purpose but that would be cool

[@circclegd]

I'm a Sprout main at heart, so seeing a Brawler like this is literally Supercell handing me a buggy love letter, his voicelines are super funny too, I saw you spamming his pin for a reason "Time for a game-changing play! 🤓☝"

[@parafishsticks]

thw second gadget is also really really strong it has a instant 7 tile radius in which you get stunned from .5-1 seconds with a potienally massive knockback too allowing him to easily shut down most assassins or defending the goal or getting an extra shot in. ESPECIALLY considering it stops JUMPS.

[@themidnightotaku22]

Well besides Meeple I did plan on getting Virus 8-bit later to.

[@BSLyles]

I don’t think meeple is as heavily reliant as lily. Lily’s whole play style revolves around her gadget and if you try to swap off the gadget you’re literally useless. But with meeple that’s not the case since both can be pretty viable, like having a 2 second stun is very good for modes like brawl ball/any agro (meeple doesn’t lose all of his viability just by not using the dice gadget like lily does)

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

I don't think the stun is 2 seconds but i also think the stun one is better. Again, if both gadgets are good and are the only thing making the brawler good, how is this any different from someone getting a hypercharge and going to S tier?

[@LucasSantos-qk7hb]

[@shie1dz]

I think they will remove the ability to get such a car range over the gadget or they could remove the ability to get 4 gadget uses and raise the range instead of the main attack and slightly raise the ammo reload speed because it's really slow

[@TheJamam45q]

I think this character is going to be more prominent in pro play and fall off for regular players. It has a lot of uses to really make or break a game provided you have good team work, but pretty useless when playing with randoms.

[@Jayden13O]

Honestly, what I think would be a perfect meeple rebalance: - Gadget duration: 4s -> 3s - Unload speed: 35% faster (not reload, but unload) The gadget nerf makes meeple less able to just rely on having an op gadget, and the unload speed buff gives meeple an use in medium range maps by giving them great burst damage (and due to reload pausing during unload, this probably is a tiny reload buff).

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

Both gadgets are good and honestly that dice one is mad overrated. I don't like brawlers that depend on one gadget like Draco but if the decision between both gagdets are hard it's fine imo. I think that if they don't want to buff the unload they should allow Meeple to reloas while unloading since 2s reload isn't bad but it is make much bigger because of 0.5 second unload

[@pabroah6434]

Rework idea: combine his super and gadget, make teammates pass through his gadget walls, and make his super charge slower, and give him a longer range

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

That super would probably be broken though. The wall would likely be like Sprout's so you could cancel supers and just box the opponents with very little counterplay

[@Technomanicat]

Bedlam will you show us your N̶i̶Meeple

[@LunaMinuna]

Unlocking for pizza slices is 100% worth it because why waste your slices for skins some don’t want, the only thing you might want to save up for is a hyper charge but even so, not everyone is maxed on their account, most people who complain about credits are the long time players like me who have everyone. Players need to remember not everyone started in 2018-2021, some may have started because of buzz lightyear and they get a cool brawler who can auto aim practically for free.

Tbh, Might just be me, but I want another new brawler to fall into irrelevance, I've played Meeple a bit and I totally find their gameplay fun, while also challenging to manage ammo, I don't think they are quite ready for 3v3, but in 2v2, he's wayy better, when playing alone he's not that strong, but with one extra teammate, they will do wonders, I know I'm not 1k with meeple yet, but he can 2-3 shot so many brawlers, if damage gear is active with SP he does like 3.6k?? which is sooo good, you just need to play correctly all the time, which makes it fun when you win, I've been playing 4ever and I'm getting tired of the newer sorta interesting brawlers being "OP", I'd rather have them forgettable but still playable if that makes sense :/ ?

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

I agree. Unload feels painful and the super lacks range imo but still one of the best star power and gadget kits in the game even if the second star power doesn't do much on Meeple itself

[@Revenuts]

@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125 I had a lot of impact with the damage boost star power in Knockout/Wipeout. The reload one is not as useful as it sounds tbh. Ammo management on Meeple is one of the most important things too imo. About the gadget, the wall thing feels super situational, without your super its useless. The stun gadget has so many uses, securing kills, cancelling ults, surviving assasins. The wall one is defenietely more unique and cooler but defenietely not better

[@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125]

@Revenuts i agree. I went the second sp since it gives support and doesn't rely on having a good wall so i thought it would make Meeple more versatile but it doesn't allow you to even get an extra hit through walls basically because of the unload. That sp could make brawlers still reload while shooting or make the unload quicker but it is all made much harder when it doesn't only apply to Meeple but also to the teammates

[@Revenuts]

@vazamentossuper-sonicos1125 exactly this, I think it could work better if Meeple had a faster reload speed in general. It would have value if you would be able to get more shots in but nope. Could use a buff, still a very good brawler in the right hands
