Yeah they are making things worse every event. Before this event i was on a break and the last event i played was the katana kingdom event. In that event it was easily possible to collect all event skins (except BP skin) completely f2p. [I am certain because along with my 2 accounts all my friends were also able to claim all skins completely f2p by just being active daily]
They have added so many extra rewards which reduces the chance of getting event skin even in the long drops.

I was just playing ranked and got server error 43 and the game crashed. I went back in and I was kicked out of the match. It was brawl ball and I had only played one match of the best 2 of 3. Idk if this has to do with brawlers specifically but the 6 brawlers were colette, penny, bo, dyna, bibi, and pierce. This is the first time I ever had this happen. Any ideas why this happened or if it is common?

u/Own_Fan_1082 20h ago
I just had a weird glitch in ranked I've never seen. I last picked Dyna and switched my gadget from stun to the spinny one (there was a poco on the other team and I thought he would use the anti-status gadget). I realized that would be troll and switched back to the stun while still in the loading screen. But, my gadget never changed, even when I tried multiple times and I queued into the game with the spinny gadget.

u/Relative_Building176 Colette 16h ago edited 12h ago
The supercharge has never been the problem why Colette is so op right now. It is because of her gadget that the supercharge rate didn't make her broken before the buffies, so why change the base of the brawler? This kills so many interactions to cycle her super. She's going to depend on her hypercharge more, making Colette less fun(speaking as a Colette main). Please, Supercell, nerf the buffies, not the base kit. Instead, you can nerf the duration for the Na-ah gadget, which will make her worse, but effectively feel the same. It will nerf the main reason why Colette is so broken right now competitively, confirming so many kills. DON'T NERF HER SUPERCHARGE RATE
Edit:
Also, this will make Colette much weaker against the assassins/tanks she's supposed to counter because she can't cycle super, so after supering, she will be weak to anything that can jump on her. If she does use another attack, then super to be able to cycle it with two hits, then that means more ammo is wasted, making her even more vulnerable
2
u/worm_beast EMZ 13h ago
They're terrible at balancing and greedy, that's why they consistently nerf the base brawler instead of the broken unlockables. Crow's attack has been fine for NINE YEARS now but because he has broken buffies, they're nerfing his main attack. It's really frustrating
1
u/Techsavantpro 15h ago
I agree on the part, if they can they should always nerf the buffies first rather than the kit.

I went 6-0 in modes not revolving around scoring kill points. Then I brutally lost 4 in a row because my randoms are hot garbage. And it’s not that I should be playing with friends instead of randoms, no these guys end 0-5 or smt feeding the enemies and playing brawlers like Amber and Ziggy in an open long range map.
I feel like these modes ruin the experience for solo players with no friends that play the game. In the past 4 years of playing, similar things have happened to me. Once lost 4 in a row on the LAST WIN because my randoms didn’t understand you have to stand in the circle to win the game in Hot Zone.

So Edgar is this games mega knight
After playing this game when it came out but then preferring clash royale I moved to it instead and left brawl stars. I came back to this game after the mess of royale. Why is Edgar in every match maxed out and is utterly broken. Everytime I try and do the challenges for star nova me and the random teammates who are ok at best get destroyed by Edgar with his jump ability. Like what were they thinking when they made him. Also unlocking new brawls is such a pain for the last 3 months that I’ve been playing I’ve unlocked about 3/4 out of stars and I’ve been doing both the passes that came out nearly maxed the pro pass and got all daily rewards everyday. I just want to unlock Edgar or some different brawlers so that I can see why they keep killing me so easily.

I wasted 5 hours of my life scanning my own qr code 500 TIMES on different account unaware that you needed to be a verified creator to actually be able to get the links. I don't think I have enough time to complete the quests this creator season, so will this disappear next season? I think I can handle the requirements for being a verified creator if I have time. The event itself ends the moment the season ends in 2 days, but I have claimed it and it should be in my rewards. Will I be able to get the pins once I reach verified creator?

u/Techsavantpro 2d ago
You have 500 accounts. Also, just for a pin. 😭

I don't necessarily have 500 accounts, though I may or may not have created 500 different accounts just to scan the qr and deleted them right after... Also I was getting these codes for my cursed acc club, It'd look pretty cool if all 30 of my cursed accounts had the rare spike pin on their profiles

Hello, can some masters or pro player rank help me? I'm stuck in mythic 3/legendary 1 for a long time and I have 21k 3v3 wins but I'm not moving forward very easily, so I was thinking is the reason for this my constantly conscious thinking about everything, do you guys do this or is it wrong? Since I started playing I had these flowstate moments only about 3-4 times which happened in the same year but I usually often don't play well strategically.

Are these Star Nova drop things a permanent thing?
've only been playing for about a week now and I do enjoy this game so far. I really just despise any of the game modes that have that icon on them that tells you that those support drops happen throughout the game. In that 5v1 PvE boss fight, cool that makes sense and I enjoy it there but not PvP. I also mainly play the 3v3 knockout, so I just don't really play the game when the icon is on that. I've tried ranked a couple times because it's never had that icon, but I feel like I'm griefing 'cause idk any/many of the characters names, their abilities, what's meta, etc. and I don't have too many characters that are 9. Anyways, the question is are these a permanent 'feature' or will it go away whenever this season ends? I would like to know 'cause I'd really just rather find a different game if that's the case.

u/That_guy84636 3d ago
All the reasons why this random sucks. (Rant)

Our random ⚡️David⚡️ used his ruffs super only for damage and to open the map, which is bad for the following reasons :
- We have Tick who like walls
- We have me (penny) who wants to put the turret behind the walls
- We have less range when the opponents open walls is good for them
- The squeak gadget is good on sniping open maps, the ruffs helps with that
- The other star power is better because we as a team have more lives towards the end of the round, which makes it easier for us to win
So, according to my research ⚡️David⚡️is the loser here.

Is Prestige 3 good or no?
I thought that prestige 3 is pretty rare like 1 percent or smt, but I hear people saying it is easy and youtubers getting prestige 3 easily. I am trying to get colette prestige 3 to flex (and for the title) but is it a flex or is it not a flex? (I knoe for 100% that prestige 4 is a flex but is prestige 3 also a flex?)

u/manster611 Cordelius 2d ago
This is like the 3rd time I’m advised that supercell has removed an unnamed spray.
I’ve only ever gotten them from the game, and in the form of drops.
So they gave me a prize instead of coins, PowerPoints, bling, or skins, but then they decide to take them away and not even tell me what they took.
Before some moron says “if you didn’t notice or use it, who cares”, let me be clear, that’s not the point.
As noted, I in all likelihood received it as a reward. If it’s taken, that’s the same as taking away a reward period. I should be compensated for that in the form of some other reward.
If I actually did buy it, I should get back whatever currency was used to purchase it.
It’s impossible to say since they don’t even tell me what they’ve taken away!
It’s really stupid and unacceptable. A completely unnecessary thing to do that will infuriate many of the people who play enough to get whatever was removed.
/rant.

u/worm_beast EMZ 2d ago
It's because they've put a whole lot less polish into updates, so now sprays and the Oddities Shop are giving you exclusive cosmetics you shouldn't be able to purchase

u/manster611 Cordelius 2d ago
So part of the price im paying is presumably for spray x, and they decide, you shouldn’t have had that?
Do we have a list of things that have been taken?

How do I prevent getting the welcome back popup? I once tried to create a cursed account where there was only draco and shelly, but when I started pushing draco the popup came out of nowhere and gave me frank, ruining the whole point of the account. I'm tryna create a cursed acc like that again, but I'm scared the game will just feel like ruining my account eventually.

Idea for bad teammates in Brawl Stars
If a teammate goes AFK, it causes their stats to decrease and multiply depending on how many deaths they have.
Idea 2 For bad mains
For example, if an Edgar moves little and wastes everything and then goes AFK, depending on how many minutes he remains AFK, his character will become unusable, meaning he can't be used. And if they do it again, the ban time should be multiplied even more, and other characters should become less damaging, etc.

I feel like prestige 2 is no where near old r30, prestige 3 might compete against r30-35 but since barely anyone has it its hard to tell

u/According_Mine229 2d ago
P2 is so weird because of the matchmaking bug (if you push a lot of trophies on a brawler at once you will get way easier enemies). If it happens, P2 is more-less free. If it doesn't, it can be hell on 1800-2000.
1
u/TheRealKrazuki Ash 1d ago
If we're talking about the skill required to reach prestige 2 and R30, not even close. You needed a win rate over 50% to reach rank 30, where it's incredibly easy to reach prestige 2 with winstreaks, underdogs, trophy rushes, bot games... If anything, Prestige 3 is closer to rank 30 than prestige 2
1
u/According_Mine229 19h ago
Yeah, I looked at the trophy gains and compared them to now. 1800-2000 now gives +13 for T1 and -12 for T10 in solo. Rank 28-30 used to give +8 for T1 and -11 for T10. Way more brutal.
1
u/According_Mine229 19h ago
As for R35 and Prestige 3, the trophy gains are similar. 1200+ old gave +5 and -13, while 2800-3000 now gives +5 and -12. However, there are no winstreaks on Prestige 2. But then again, I'm not good enough to judge either because I never had either.

I am at 2460 trophies playing solo showdown and the amount of wintraders and teamers that I face is insane. I can't even play a single game without finding people teaming, which makes it impossible to get placement because I am in a 1v4 every game. I tilt about 40 trophies and it takes around an hour to get them back because the lobbies are insufferable and full of counters. Supercell needs to fix their game because it is actually impossible to get prestige 3 in showdown without some sort of wintrading (unless you are goated).

How can there not be a report button for challenges? While I'm not an Esports player, and don't have my own teammates to definitely win, I still want some resources from those Starr drops, so it kind of sucks to get the worst randoms in existence specifically when I don't have infinite tries :(

Hey everyone, I’m new to the game and in the draw I got today, the ultra tier appeared. I won two hypercharges and two characters: Mico and Sirius.
This is pretty rare, right? I was actually saving up keys to buy Sirius—I had 4 and was hoping to get him in the next brawl pass by grabbing the two keys from the tier unlocking in 4 days.
What are the odds of this happening, like 5%?
1
u/worm_beast EMZ 1d ago
That's extremely rare. The chance of getting 4 Ultra rarity drops from a Chaos drop is 0.16%, and the chances of getting a Hypercharge, Mythic brawler, and Ultra Legendary brawler from an Ultra drop are 26.74%, 26.74%, and 0.53%, respectively. You got absolutely insane luck

You can't buy skins for a brawler you don't have, You can only get lucky and the skin would get sent to the cosmetics bank until you unlock Amber. For gems, aside from the brawl pass and the pro pass, The supercell store gives 10 free gems each brawl pass season, the store also gives a small freebie each day, and one of the possible ones is 5 gems.

Edgar making the game unplayable
Im over 100k trophies(5years player) and Im taking a break from the game due to Edgar making 3/4 of the brawlers unplayable in casual gamemodes with randoms.
I see Edgar I quit the game without even playing.
Such a low skill cap brawler just mashing buttons without needing to aim.
Yes there are a few Edgar counters like RT, Stu but who wants to play a game just limited to picking Edgar counters?
Im maxed out by the way and i also have edgar buffies. but that doesn't mean i want to play him all the time.

I can't play a single game without lag disrupting the game. It'll run completely smoothly, then all of a sudden, BOOM, so much lag for 10 seconds. I don't get it.
I can have 4 bars of a fast WiFi, or full bars of data, and it doesn't change it. Is it a problem with the servers, or something in my settings that I can fix?
Thanks.
