what i hate most about brawlers like kenji, moe, and larry, brawlers that are extremely strong or broken on release is that they typically can mess up a little bit in a matchup where an opponent plays perfectly and still win. While I do think that some brawlers should be able to have matchups where they dont need to play perfect to counter a brawler, having a brawler like kenji be able to counter over half of the brawlers in the game whilst not playing perfectly is wild. And this assumes that a person plays perfectly, which the average brawl stars player does not play perfectly.

i there should be a balance in brawlers of skill - reward, if skill is too high, the brawler will be hard to play but will also reward more if played perfectly, a low skill brawler (like showdown kit) shouldn't have as big of a advantage (reward). although low skill brawlers shouldnt be outright bad, they also shouldnt be broken. i think if they take that into consideration when balancing the meta would overall be more fun.

It is so funny just witnessing the sheer amount of people going “NUH-UH YOU CAN COUNTER HIM BY [Doing insert excuse]!” Now I just laugh at this whole thing. Now- If every single KZbinr says “Kenji is incredibly broken!” I would assume that to be true especially with what his kit and arsenal has. All I can say is; If you defend this by saying he’s balanced, then you most likely maxed him out incredibly soon and are scared that your EZ WIN Brawler will get nerfed.
@slippy92517 күн бұрын
The worst part about Kenji for me is that when he uses his super he doesnt always return to the exact spot he used his super sometimes he ends up a few feet away so if you want to outplay him by pre-aiming the spot your taking a gamble.

How to counter Kenji: 1. Hold Brawl Stars icon until you saw the button with the trash can that say uninstall 2. Press it 3. Press Yes On a serious note assassins should not be meta. They always create an oppressive meta that forces you to play the exact type of brawlers. Like when Damage Dealer and Snipers at least you have a varied set of counters but Assassins and Artillery...straight up nope
@1000-THR_Benjamin7 күн бұрын
Yup, assassins should basically always be these "punisher" cards that are good if the enemy doesn't know how to counter them, but bad if the enemy is skilled. (I still think edgar should be worse because he is completely braindead and can kill some brawlers with no chance of losing)

The biggest problem with Kenji is that he has his super way too often, and he can use it twice in a single fight if it goes well, and it's a pretty damn strong super that has huge range, huge coverage, can hit over walls, deals a lot of damage, heals him, and makes him instantly invulnerable for longer than Lou's gadget.

Berry is definitely not that bad against Kenji in a 1v1 you just have to commit to the close range fight. Preferably you chip him down until he's around 6k hp while conserving ammo and if Kenji gets close you walk up to him and spam heal while doing damage and get super to either kill him or escape. The only time you really lose to Kenji is if he lands his super and is able to do enough burst damage or in scenarios where you can't outheal him (probably cause you ran out of ammo). If this matchup actually is this bad then 70% of duels players that use Kenji at 1100 trophies suck.

I disagree with Belle’s placement, as with her second star power (stops newly marked enemies from reloading for 5 WHOLE SECONDS), she can save her super, and when she sees Kenji going for her she can super, which would almost always hit due to Kenji being close range, and kill him once he’s stuck next to her with no ammo Keep in mind that Belle dies to 3 slashes from Kenji or if both hits of his super land (literally deals the exact amount of health she has, so maybe choose shield gadget to survive that? It's easily dodgeable tho so probably not), but it’s definitely not an unwinnable matchup TLDR: Belle super stops reload if she has her first star power, survives 2 hits from Kenji, just use that star power if you see Kenji in ranked (you should be banning Kenji anyways)
