As a Colette main, I would like to say that she was a different kind of broken on release...

crazy how L&L released, got nerfed on every single stat, and still manage to be the 2nd best brawler in the game

Leon was the Og and most p2w bralwer in the game. Never forget

bro, i´m reading the top comments and i´m not seeing ANYONE talking abour how broken edgars was... first of all he was free, every time you played a match they will be FULL of edgars (even in showdown) he broke the servers almost FOR AN ENTIRE DAY and even after that fixed he was still to broken and you could see him in every game mode

You forgot that Grom was really broken on his release (he had got VERY long splits of his super and VERY fast projectiles) Fang also was broken due to his Fresh kick sp and he also had a tank trait (charging super by receiving damage) And Chuck on his release in Heist, he had got Sam's trait and had been destroying safe in a few seconds

Talking abt broken brawler...Gene and Willow just broke the game being the most broken brawler in bs history 👀💀

7:02 "Muyo's subscriber count was decreased from 63k to 14k." RIP Muyo🤣

colt with his gadget on release 💀

Barley was extremely broken in the early stages of brawl stars, I remember it vividly. When you threw his super very close-by the hit area got closer as well.. making him throw his WHOLE super on maybe 2/3 tiles.. (comparable to Larry’s main attack)

Bro forgot how broken Shelly was with her second star power💀

Why tf his comment is 14 hours ago and the video has been posted 1 minutes ago💀💀

the most broken brawler was Shelly in the early days. All solo showdown lobby would had at least 6-8 shellys.

Who remembers his old Bea profile picture? I remember watching those videos having fun. Now you reached absolute peak when it comes to quality and content . Good job dude!

I suspect the devs realeses broken brawlers so kids with their mom's credit cards could spend money so they can be "good". I could be wrong

Sprout was the most broken brawler on release, not only were his attacks impossible to dodge but people would trap you in spawn since respawn shields didn’t break sprouts walls back then

edgarfest on his release and colts silver bullet before the nerf💀

A bit of info for beta Darryl! Darryl was garbage except for in one mode: Heist. In beta, you used to be able to hit "play again" with randoms even if they had the same brawler. So, what make the 23 tile Darryl super particularly strong (and fun) was doing "double Darryl" heist, where both Darryl's would roll down the entire map at the same time toward the safe and there was pretty much nothing the enemy team could do to stop it. Funnily enough, it is still weaker than what Chuck does today... The Darryl super also allowed for heist innovations. In beta, since the player base was so small, at high ladder (which was around 650 at the time) you could physically watch the meta evolve around you. You would often run into the same team 3 or 4 times in an hour, and so you would need to find a way to beat them. The team to beat was a pam, jessie, Nita team (the equivalent of an unkillable team at the time), and so the strategy we invented to beat them was for our entire team to hide by our own safe (Darryl, Barley, bull), Darryl charges a super while defending the safe, goes across the entire map, and hopefully Darryl can take the safe out quickly enough before nita and jessie get their supers. We managed to go from a losing streak to winning 70% of the time, and darryl barley bull was pretty much an unbeatable comp too, so we ended up as the kingpins of the ladder. I wonder if that still happens nowadays... but with scrims and power league and so many brawler options, there doesnt really exist an unbeatable comp anymore. Beta was a whole different world.

You forgot they removed surges really op teleport gadget also because of how broken it was

For me, mentioning Charlie was like saying "present day" because that's about the time when I started playing Brawl Stars. Charlie was released in the one brawl pass that I had the gems for, and buggy Mico and Kit didn't affect me too much because when I heard that they released, I took a one-month break because I felt like Brawl Stars became broken and boring, so I decided to wait for nerfs.

I remember getting ruffs as my first chromatic from the brawl pass and I LOVED JUST MELTING EVERYTHING THAT DARED TO COME CLOSE. I wish they un-nerfed Ruffs :(

Edgar hypercharge should be low key removed from the game

When sprout first released, you couldn’t break the wall when you respawned like you can now. So, if the enemy team in brawl ball didn’t have any brawlers that could break walls, you could trap them all in their spawn and endlessly spawn kill them. Ah, good times, good times.

Great video, however the phase "too strong " was a bit overused. I would suggest being a litle more specific by mentioning theyr stats or what made them so broken.

2018 brawlers comment here 👇👇

7:03 Muyo's subscriber count was decreased from 63k to 14k 😆

I loved release Hank. I got him to 400 trophies in one day. It was so fun picking up 1-2 power cubes then oneshotting nearly every character. Then then nerfed him to be so so bad and I was so upset. Now he got his mutation though and I got him up to 800 lol

Damn… this brought back so much nostalgia :)

Im glad they reacted to it pretty quickly Although for sure Lawrie and his twin still used to this day and even others that the community always pick

Imo, rosa has to be the most broken brawler in history. she was literally unkillable and could cycle supers really fast

I rmb playing ruffs on release, after he got nerfed, I couldn’t keep myself from charging at enemies, I kept forgetting he no longer deletes ppl :(

I remember when heist was first released and was super broken since it was 1 team the attackers and 1 team defenders which was random, and the maps were god awful. One of them I’m forgetting the name of was a guaranteed win for a defending barely or dynamike

this made me feel old... I never knew I've been playing this game for 7 years

I feel like you should've also mentioned that something that made Hank broken was the fact that he could charge his attack while remaining hidden in bushes. You could just be casually strolling, and then suddenly this idiot shrimp comes out of the bushes and one-shots you. And if he didn't, his slowing gadget could make sure there was no escape

i have a rework idea for sam: if you didnt grab your super in 45 seconds, it would explode dealing 900 damage to enemies. To get it back, you would need to do some attacking. If his super is close to exploding, the super button would start to blink red (about 15s from exploding.) This would be helpful to get your super back if it got lost in the green clouds. Also a third gadget idea: "Jailbreak". If sams super is availiable, his next super shot is a throwing shot. (low distance) Sam throws one of his arms. It will dig through walls, in a line towards sam. This may be helpful if you got jacky trapped. (it cant dig through unbreakable walls) W or L?

Awesome video!

Another fire video Jimbo🔥🔥

In the Gray + Chester era, I cried everyday 😢

Maisie and lou were also broken after getting hypecharge. Also rosa became meta again after she got buffed a few months ago

Since most tanks kinda suck nowadays, I feel like buffing Darryl's roll to midway in between what it is now and what it used to be might revive him as a brawler.

Surge at release was severely underrated. It took 1 month if I remember correct for him to be realised and belle wasn't actually broken. She was balanced in release

Jimbo Literally owns the Background song 💀

Wake up new Jimbo vid 🔥🔥

9:55 Jimbo was not PRAWN READY!!!! 🪖🪖🪖🦐🦐🦐

8-bit wasnt released with sp extra life, it was added as a second

also grom with his attack speed at close range mico barryl when his super stacked colt with gadget on release edgard, buzz, maisie, lou, spike, pearl, colette and cordelius hypercharges

I heard about Rosa shield being almost unbreakable

love the old sprout win animation, idk why they changed it

"You lose points for winning" Me, playing Hearthstone and trying to climb after legend: "First time?"

3:55 prime surge with teleportation and splitting attacks was insaneeee

No mention of early game Barley? Man single handedly dominated boss fight, showdown and heist

Another fact is that you used to not be able to see Hank charging his bubble is bushes

I started playing before bea has came to the game and left the game when surge came to the game, now started again but only playing when nothing to do else.

Tbh fang's hypercharge still slammed even after the first nerf, but this nerf did it dirty, but still fang's hypercharge is concider to be the best hypercharge in the game, and beacuse of that fang is concider as one of the best brawlers, wishing he gets buff to other things since he is my main brawler, I love his mechanics bro and his character, don't think I'm a simp or anything, he is just that one brawler that suits me the best!

When jacky came out she was overpowered af

i pushed larry to r25 on the first day of getting him and then stopped using him but now when i try to use him in power league it’s terrible. Every single aspect was nerfed including his range which is the most annoying thing of all. also for cordelius it is much easier for the enemy to kill him in the shadow realm unless his hyper charge is activated which imo shouldn’t have been nerfed to the extent that it was because more often than not his super’s only purpose is to get away from enemies by teleporting a different one.

Darryl was only broken in Heist with his super. He was extremely bad everywhere else. Same with Barley

crazy to not see day 1 jackie get a mention, i remember bringing her to rank 20 at level 1 in just an hour or two.

You forgot 2019 Shelly when they gave her Band-Aid as a second Star Power. She would charge it in like 4 seconds and it restored her to full health. WAY more broken then 8-bit or Bea ever was. For a while Shelly was the only viable brawler in showdown.

That Shelly meta was absolute PAIN

What about shelly's star power that healed her whole hp whenever she was close to death. It was pretty over powered since you could just push anyone without risking dying. Later it was nerfed and instead of healing her hp to max health points, now she's healing 2k points of health.

you forgot surge's gadjet that allow him to short-tp, was insane but cool on the otherhand

Seems like Supercell didn't learn too much stuff from the early days huh

You forgot to add Edgar on the list, at the time he was released, he literally crash the game because too much people were using it as it was free to obtain.

You forgot to mention that L&L were top three the entire time WITHOUT a hypercharge in the meta. Changed P2W players forever

9:40 this was not shelly's peak, shelly peaked when her second star power released. Basically band aid was a 8-bit second life with a 20 second cool down

Was shellys bandaid not broken at one point? When it recharged the full health?

crazy how you totally missed band aid shelly and snappy sniping piper era

What about the removed melee sword brawler that could spam his Basic attack for some secs with his ult?? He could literally do laps on the map.. But sadly everyone acts like he never existed and im the one crazy intentionally 😅 Why is 7B humans scared of admiting his existence lol i dont get it.

Its supercells signature move to Release OP brawlers so that everyone want to buy them and then nerf them later that the other players who didnt buy them get to annoyed

Jimbo I don’t know if you remember me but I was in your club like a long time ago and I was in the frank minigame my name was nico:) so yeah

wow, all of the chromatics were broken on release, and nerfed at the end of season. what a surprise.

Finally a long video from jimbo Also I remeber you have some videos planned please release them early, dont make us wait🥲

I will always remember the Larry-pocalypse... these were horribe days for the meta

I remember jacky being able to use all 3 ammo in like one second 😂

Ngl i needed this video

4:20 dude i remember amber having fast movement speed but now she has normal and i thought i was insane

Bro forgot about op silver bullet colt in christmas of 2020 as well as edgar hell also in that same time frame

from this video did i learn that my fav brawler sam was released 1 day after my birthday

Some even earlier stuff: Infinite Bear Nita Out of Screen Range Piper Ridiculous Dash Mortis Almost Janet Crow These were not that broken, but were pretty cool, as a long time Nita main I feel nostalgic about that times. It'd be cool if they would let her hypercharge to spawn infinite bears again😂

Jimbo i played with you in ranked i think 😀😀

All broken brawler. Collette: I was just want to be friends.

Wheres the broken Bo Nani strat on knockout it’s technically two brawlers but I remember grinding those two brawlers with friends back in the day before they nerfed Bo’s gadget

kit buffs 1 kit nerf 3

Damn your voice is pretty chill, nice content and channel!

Never let bro cook again 🔥🔥🔥

7:03 Muyo's subscriber count was decreased😂

Byron ash meta 💀

fang?? the best brawler of every time??

How about the Edgar boom when he was released?

I saw Muyo's subscriber count nerf at 7:02.

Release Stu still haunts me to this day

I think you forgot chuck. He spawned with super in heist and was so broken. (Still is but not that much)

How were Grey and Chester released on the same day Gray actually got released way before chester

Are we gonna talk about doug?

Pam also used to be broken when siege was released

4:22 best name

Pretty much every brawler is broken on release so tgat their greedy asses can profit from it as much as they can, eventually everybody starts buying brawlers instead of waiting for it to be available from boxes/credits.

my favorite part was how there was no commentary for Larry and Lawrie

7 years past? I feel old 💀
