It’s funny that now (5 months later) a lot of the things he said did come true or did change. Pretty good predictions on what the developers wanted and community
The trophy road is definitely a missed opportunity. After 15 000 trophies is just a cycle of power points, coins and credits. Like seriously for hitting such a big milestone like 50 000 trophies you get 80 credits. You should unlock skins that are exclusive for the trophy road so more people would play ladder.
At this point I feel like Kit was made for the memes at this point. We haven’t got her/him in over 2 years now! And considering Ruffs was released that update, I think its fair to say that brawler was abandoned, or just made for build traction/memes.
Recently I was thinking that maybe Kit will be added in a separate trio also with the theme of space who will be the enemies of Colonel ruffs, just as The goldarm gang appeared with Belle and Sam which were the enemies of Shelly and Colt (as was showed in some of their arts) and as Willow who appeared and is also part of the district of Mortis mortuary but she's part of another trio. Edit: in their 3rd podcast, the art director said she plan to make more eliens for the future.
They actually found very old art that they made when the game was called, "Project Laser". They found old art of Ruffs, and replaced Kit with him, so blame the old days!!!
I agree with most of the things on this list, but I think there is one thing Nubbz forgot to mention, you don't necessarily have to play 60 matches for power league skins anymore, they made it so every brawl pass and power league skin will be available for purchase even if you don't play power league/buy the brawl pass, which started with the biodome season, however you would need to wait one extra year. Also one thing i thought about Kit is that he is maybe the cat on the Alley cat Bull skin, but that's just speculation.
Um to get it that year! 365 days early access is not a fail! I think people prefer trending skins cause there’ll always be newer ones for whatever older power league skin that comes back!
@@mayor_theo Oh yea, I forgot about that! I remember Kit being Shelly's cat was a popular theory beffore Ruffs was announced. There were also a lot of pictures of Shelly's house as teasers, so it's probably true. I just came up with my Alley cat Bull theory because i know he has the same logo as the one shown on crow and Bull's back, and his cat resembles the logo.
@@Realcordy Good point, but I honestly preffer waiting a year over 60 matches. Some people probably do want to get new skins as soon as possible, but as a f2p I gotta wait anyway so 1 extra year isn't a big deal for me.
the dev team said that they aren't happy with the current version of club league so i think a club league rework is definitely coming (maybe next year idk)
With the whole bot scenario, bots are added so you can learn how the brawler works, but I do feel Nubbz’s pain. I feel like after a certain amount of trophies, the bot cap should drop. So at 10k, from 80 trophies to 70 trophies, and 15k, 70 trophies to 60 and so on until 45k, when you will never face bots or something like that.
Remember back in season 5 when the brawl talk’s thumbnail was dark lord spike and everyone thought it would be kit, or at least a cat brawler? It ended up being dark lord spike tho.
BTW the "Kit" symbol is also in one of bull's skins named Alleycat bull so I guess this might be a reference to crow and bull being in the retropolis gang and maybe that symbol is their gang symbol.
1:40 Bro I was in the game when this mistake happened. And I saw the offer and thought that it was a glitch. Then I decided that I would take the risk and buy it. But in a blink of an eye the game got to the reload. Then I got in to the shop and saw that it was Gone. Just a few days later I saw ur and OJs videos about the mistake. I was sad to say the least ;(
A small correction: Nubbz said that if you don't unlock the Power League skin then you can never buy it, but thats not true anymore, even if you don't unlock the skin that season it will still become available in like a year to everyone. I don't know if he knows this, but that also applies to every "exclusive " skin now. All current Brawl Pass skins and Power League skins will become available to everyone eventually in like a year or so. Unrelated, but I find it funny that Nubbz used a random cat emblem on Crow as proof of Kits existence and not the literal Kit pin on Squeaks strap, or the fake thumbnail they used for the Brawl Talk where they released Ruffs
I never thought about how showdown hasn’t received large gameplay changes for 5 years, thx for bringing this to light, I hope supercell will notice this
5:26 is so true when i get killed in a unfair way i dont get mad but when i have to fight bots i just dont wanna play the game they make the game so boring
9:03 boxes aren’t COMPLETELY out of the game, they still show up for the coin reward at the end of every free side of the brawl pass (and I think for the 2000 gem offer too)
Not even lying I first thought that crows mastery tittle would definitely be boss of bosses like nubz mentioned.. but then I found out its caw caw! I mean why??? Who's gonna love and use caw caw??
3:00 only the skins from pl from season 5 (the first pl season) to season 10 are totally exclusive and you needed to play in order to get them. From season 11, if you didnt play the amount of wins to unlock the oportunity to buy them, than they will apear eventually over one year.
Another missed oportunity is Masteries in general. Like, if you're a master at that brawler, why does it stop at Gold 3? They could've done it like the power league ranks (Diamond, Mythic, Legendary and Masters) Because it's masters so yeah
I suggest that brawl stars will make mastery titles optional, like you get 2 mastery titles for each brawler that you unlock at the same time - one is a pun, other is describing the brawler like colt’s “The Pretty” and you could switch between the 2 titles
I remember being exited to get buster for the next day, it's only the next day that they NERFED HIM that was the day that every f2p player with brawl pass with perfect progression would get him and it's the exact same day that they nerfed him on, I couldn't experience buster at his prime and Im sad about it because it was my 1st brawl pass :( (but I'm still happy about those 80 gems)
@@NinjaX222 yea I remember seeing him that time in duo showdown few times, everyone stayed away from him 😂 If you saw a team running weirdly knew; ah there is a buster
1:16 god please no i like the idea of limited skins so much the idea that u need to get smt before its gone forever was a bit scamy but still it felt unique and when you had an opportunity to get them it felt super good. But the coolesr part is when you got them. It feels so unuque to own limited skin. I pray they dont remove this feature and give us some more of this.
At some point, they might as well redistribute chromatics to make them “more exclusive” and change like some of the rarities (from epic to legendary). Cuz eventually they’re going to have to make more super rares and rares and even legendaries
Bruh they literally said they might release color variants of the exclusive skins. If they weren't exclusive the brawl pass wouldn't feel as special. Hopefully you can get your hands on a red ninja ash skin or something though.
The thing with vision gear is it's for long ranges brawlers while health gear is for mostly tanks. Vision gear is so underrated and so good in bush maps
A good fix for #13 may be to make it so that any player who gets all 60 round wins for the Power League skin gets a small/decent discount, maybe 40%, in both bling and gems for that skin. I agree that there should be more of a reward for getting all 60 wins.
Imagine if they made R-T’s super attack be like a rotating alarm light (two cone shapes) around him. Hold for rotating, each individual hit dealing damage. The super will end when the bar is empty. This bar would empty slowly automatically, and empties more the longer it’s used (Like Amber’s ammo).
I mainly disagree with Showdown cause they have tried more things to change the mode. I like how they make it a separate mode. I would also like thank Og because if it wasn’t for him posting about the $2 149 box offer on Twitter I wouldn’t have gotten it
Hey nubbz you can get director buzz skin in star drop (in Star drop only) because I did not get Saloon 8-bit and it was a power Ligue so you have a chance to get director buzz.
Nubbz i agree so much with you, like you dont have to buy the power league profiles but you have to buy the skins and there is no oppritunite to get it later, exeption is when the brawl pass skin for eve and eve came to the shop for like 10 dollars, you reminded me of power league grinding :P
opp #7 is such a true. i hate new brawlers coming to the game jus because i have to push them against bots. also #4 true. one thing i hate is the fact that they r releasing 1-2 brawlers per update but 0-1 gear per update. there will never be time in BS when every brawler would have mythic gear.
I feel you for Director Buzz I only grinded the wins in case I wanted it in the future It turned out to be an excellent plan, now it's my fav Buzz skin
5:28 I think the reason for bots is because of matchmaking. Try making a new account, after you get Shelly to 100 trophies and you face real players matchmaking can sometimes take forever. I believe the reason is because matchmaking takes into account your accounts total trophies, not just your current brawlers trophies. The sad thing is, there are not a lot a new players every day. That’s also why I think Brawlstars made showdown the default gamemode on new accounts, and not gem grab. Imagine if there were no bot lobbies, you make a new account, try to play and matchmaking takes 5 minutes because the game can’t find 9 other new players to match you with. That new player would quit the game.
The reason why vision gear is the way it is is because you needed to be able to upgrade it back in the day (don't know why they haven't changed it now)
They haven’t made it a passive boost because common gears aren’t supposed to be passive boosts. They all only activate when certain criteria are met so that the player needs to think about how to utilize them
I really agree with the starr drop one, man! It could be like the 1st stage of the rare rare starr drop could be brawl box, super rare starr drop to big, epic starr drop to megabox, legendary starr drop to omegabox, and to make ot more interesting, they could remodel the boxes in a whole, but still keep it BOXES, for an example, they could make the brawl box a bit more beautiful, with a bit of green, a bit of uniqe styles, and different and uniqe styles for other boxes too! It would be MUCH MORE beautiful to look at!!
For power league skins you can just wait till next year so you get them in your Shop without getting 60 wins which is dumb, like this season postal brock which was last year’s PL skin, can be bought by everybody rn in the shop
There should be an special interaction when lets say you get a mythic starr drop and you are about to get a brawler something like the system with the boxes
The only thing that I I don't agree with is the star drops Clearly supercell was trying to comply with some gambling law which they promptly tried to get rid of asap But it could have been handled better considering if you don't force yourself to play you'll be losing out on more if you only played casually
Ye, the trophy road one about the credits is unfair, after reaching 50k trophies that is a ridiculously long journey only leading to a few credits while you can get 500 chroma credits by reaching 4k trophies
They do mess with showdown, they just make it a different mode, with different UI, or just make it seasonal (for example top tog, graveyard shift and showdown+); they just keep the normal showdown as vanilla as possible because it's the most popular mode, so why change it?
Nah i think the skins being exculsive is a massive unexpected W. Every company wants money and atleast once ruin the "rarest" item by selling it again. How brawl stars has refrained from that is crazy (i hace star shelly)
I have an interesting brawler idea… A brawler who gets new abilities the more you level him up. Or even just his movement speed, or his vision in bushes. I feel like this is a good idea bc you can’t buy power points, so you would have to play the game to level them up. If this brawler was added, I could already see kairos’ new video title being ‘brawlers you NEED to max out!’. Maybe the brawler could be the cat concept!
I think not only should bots be something you can disable, but higher ranks as well. I play casually, but that becomes a liability when my best/favorite brawlers become such a high rank that I end up fighting nothing but sweaty players
7:38 i feel like that would make some star powers like Bibis speed totally useless because why would you go pure speed when you can have damage reduction and speed?
i have an idea and all my friends say its good so my idea is that you can buy a box with your credits and depending on what rarity the box is you buy you get an random brawler from that rarity
For the skin thing, its awful for some players who play more unpopular brawlers, example: 8 bit, his best skins are completly unaveilable, only how we have a good aveilable skin
Bro, pro-players use Vision Gear in Power League a lot, and when I say a lot, I say like every time they are not using an aggro brawler in a bushy map, like Gene, Ruffs, Mister P or Otis, so I think Vision Gear is just alright as it is now
