Why are some brawlers SO popular? 

I think the rarity and is also correlation because the the devs will want to make legendaries fun so more people pay for them hence why so many legendaries have cool and unique mechanics and a very fast movement speed. I'm sure there is both correlation and causation but i think this is worth mentioning.

Glad I could be of help :) This is never the type of video I would make... you know.. maths and statistics and stuff, but I enjoyed it. Well done. We got a future data scientist in the making. One note though. Surge gained popularity AFTER he became a Legendary. Wether that was due to the change, or other factors I'm not sure, but it's worth noting.

9:08 The answer is pretty simple. Cordelius is a legendary brawler and Jacky is a super rare. And you may think, “well Leon and crow are legendarys, but they have high use rates.” But that’s because they are 2 of the 3 first options as legendarys on the star road. Leon and crow are definitely the 2 most common first legendarys in the community. And cordelius is basically at the end of the star road. So if you haven’t been playing the game for a loooong time, then there’s a good chance you won’t have him.

respect the 4 lola mains please

2:48 Buzz and Stu are also assassins

13:08 Dead by Daylight had a very similar problem, whenever a new survivor came out, the devs would look if they were popular and if they were they would get more skins, this eventually made some survivors have next to no skins cause they were extremely unpopular eventually forcing the devs to make their cosmetics team bigger to make skins for the lower use rate survivors

Short answer: Popularity is based on how fun and easy to play the brawler is.

Who realised that top 5 loved brawlers are all legendry

Meg is now really being taken in consideration with the rework

This channel has potential

i think in the skin section it phases down at 10+ skins cuz some brawlers have duplicate skins like the football ones that are barely different so they shouldnt count as 6 seperate skins but rather 1 but my take on this video is that the favorite brawlers in general are brawlers that are capable of hard carrying a team without needing a massive skill cap

this is actually a great analysis, goodjob! keep it goin!

It'd make sense why players would pick certain classes over the others; Controllers have a very passive style of gameplay making their gameplay slow because you're not supposed to rush with them. However, Assassins have a very active and somewhat passive playstyle making them appealing to basically everyone, also most assassins are capable of rushes that can result in team wipes or turning a losing game into a winning one. Damage Dealers also are very active and can cause team wipes or game changing plays making them shiny and appealing unlike supports and controllers whose gameplays are passive and slower.

this is quite an interesting video topic,enjoyed watching this.

Your channel deserves a lot more subs! Analysing things like this have always been very interesting to me

Great video for someone with only 5k subs, keep up the good work, I know you will make it big some day

I feel like a lot of the popular brawlers have skills that are fun, and easy to get "good" at. Compare a brawler like edgar to a brawler like piper. Now I would argue that it takes just as long to "master" edgar as it does a brawler like piper, but you can get 90 percent of the way to mastering edgar pretty fast, and even after playing him for a small while, you can get like 60 percent of the way there. But getting good with piper is more steady, so it takes a while to get good with her, which is why she is less popular than edgar

this is such a banger for stat nerds like me n you lmao, enjoyed it a lot

Cool vid I'd like to see a vid about the real value of a MegaBox in the next event 😅

imo the brawlers that are the most liked are not bad in the meta/f tier and have unique mechanics and are fun to play and more on the less skilled side

its the math guy

Now the number of assassins is gonna skyrocket. Have fun with that.

shiuming you have to get a brawlstars developer✅

11:07 , So true, I'm a leon main and one of the big reasons for that is the fact that i got the Warewolf leon skin (the blue one) (And because i got leon from a brawl box at 400 trophies)

Cool Video Can you maybe make a Video about the (old) best brawl passes

GREAT VIDEO ❤

Bro Spoob is gonna be MAD 💀

Btw, hope you used the time appropriate tier lists with Lex’s popularity tierlist, since Lex did his poll pretty long ago but Kairos’ tier list is much more recent

great video!

good quality video😁

6:53 the point is not bad. however it would be better to calculate the average of where the brawler has been in the meta so that it truly can count, bc at least for me, i started playing (and liking) angelo bc he was super in the meta, and now that he is not super meta i still like him. just that, great video btw

i love these type of videos please do more

The answer is simple if a brawler has looks (skins) a fun play style and be meta they will be loved and adored! For example surge

10:24 45 YEARS AGO??!?!?!

This is a cool and underrated video what software did u use for ur graphs❤

Also, while Surge and Cordelius aren't assassins by class, they have similar gameplay to one.

respet man the video was amazing

Surge is just fun to use and I’m pretty good with him

Him: "and stupid Dynamikes I see every day" Me: "i'm coming to your house..." (Theory for Cordelius being not used but loved): People like him but very few actually have him.

Bro might actually be my favourite Brawl Stars RU-vidr since Prime Kairos

you are so underrated and you just got a new subscriber

Idea: compare use rate, strength, and release date I'm calling it, newer brawlers are stronger and used more than older brawlers

you should make a video analyszing the worth of buying brawl pass vs brawl pass plus

There is no way fang is 6th anymore, out dated votes must be the case

Leon next winner 🔥

And what about the charisma? I feel every popular brawler has some kind of appeal, some kind of coolness (Crow, Leon, Mortis, Colt). They have funny voicelines, well-thought personalities. And then you have Pam, Lola and Colonel Ruffs.

Let's be honest Spike has the better lines 🚬🗿

respect to the 2 barley mains

Honestly, it's the character's gameplay, because rarity basically doesn't change anything about the characters' gameplay. It's not even a question of whether the character is broken or strong, it's more about how fun and simple the character's gameplay is, An example is Mortis, who is a very weak brawler, but every Futbrawl game you play has one. And I would say that's just because it's really fun to do some cool moves with the character, and it's not so difficult to play with him.

Their mechanics and roles and how fun and easy they're to play a brawler like Janet who's only used in bushy maps will definitely be less popular than something like piper who's easier and has far more outplay potential

ogs favs are colt dyna and mortis

2:51 stu and buzz are also assassins And of course damage dealers are on top cuz there are actually almost 30 damage dealers in the game while there isn’t even 10 throwers. You should have multiplied roles where there are not that much brawler to make it fair (for exemple, if there a 5 support, 10 throwers and 30 assassins, multiple supports by 6, and throwers by 3)

I think if the assassin like edgar are popular that's because of the young player base, because bro i swear playing him is a torture, always dying, dont have the range etc..

0:17 leave a bit more time on the tweets so I can actually read them without having to pause and rewind the video. There wasn’t even enough time to pause it without missing it on the first try. Other than that great video

The 2 bonnie mains in the world:

Bro I love Ruffs and Rosa 😭

yooo comeback video

Hank better be the #1 best

I did not know surge had that many fans and i wonder what happened to all mortis fans 😂

2:51 Buzz is also an assassin :P

No, when a brawler is used a lot and liked by everyone, the dev team gives them skins and hypercharges Skins dont affect anything

Please talk about brawl stars lag glitch

Penny and lola no fanbases. They both my main lmao

Loving the content, keep it up, very original concepts, I love it... Also the pink furry image 😥 #SAVECLASHMINI

My favorite is Sandy

no wonder why my boi darryl is barely top 10…

How are mortis, edgar and dyna not in the top 5… my randoms play them all the time

Low skill, high play-making potential

In order for a brawler to be fun or popular, they have to have the highest highs, hence why, Meg, ruffs, Pam, etc are not “fun”, they are too well rounded, not having a low low, but also not a high high. I also think brawler personalities matter a bit here, no one wants to play a boring mom that shoots bolts, they rather play a cool robot that uses slangs in his voicelines

Pink Fury

if a brawler is generic or has an ability other brawlers have they’ll automatically be less popular. Typically it’s just brawlers that are easier to play or have broken abilities that are more popular since it appeals to more of the player base

I'd say that ease of use greatly affects a brawlers play rate. Cordelius is a high skill cap brawler, his attack has a short range and slow speed that takes some getting used to. He's not some brainless brawler where you could just charge in and spam auto aim, and get results, like most popular brawlers. I think certain brawlers are more popular than others because they can make more pop off plays. The easier the brawler is to use, the more game changing exciting plays can be made. Which feeds into the players adrenaline and dopamine. It's also why people think controllers and support are so boring to play, because it's harder to make exciting plays with them. It will also explain why Dynamike and Colt are so popular despite not being assassins, because they can shred teams pretty easily. This channel explains it pretty well in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CvqyXUQJ9cU.html

proud penny enjoyer, here

I think gender of brawlers plays a part too. Male brawlers are cooler and tend to be more popular(see top 5 and bottom 5)

No one likes Lola? Wait til u find out about spoob

1:11 Why does the crow have 4 hands?💀😩

I got crow because i thought his super/hypercharge was insanely good, and i thought leon was trash because his super was bad, little did i know crow is worse than leon

Stu is an assasin.

In my opinion none of this has smt to do whit brawlers popularity its all about likeability,every likes surge beacose he is chill and cool and pepole love spike beacose he is unique and VERY LIKEBEL,this is not a hate coment is just what i think

R u sure Lola doesn’t have a fan base 😝

isnt meg op rn😂

TL;DR: Faster speed=More love Bigger damage=More love Gameplay that restricts the opponent=More love

No skill brawler = popular brawler 😅

For me, I became a fan of Surge when his mastery title came out. It fit me so well at that time that I had to grind it. And the more I played him, the more I started to like him. And when he then also became my 2nd r25 and my first r26, I knew Surge would be my fav brawler for enternity

Kids like surge cus he counters edgar and every regards him as "skilled" "sigma" "chad" or whatever the f

Lola’s disrespect in this video was immaculate. She’s the best female in the game. She deserves more

This is all the exact opposite of Sprout. He has low use rates, hard to play, less the 5 skins, mythic, normal movement. But he finally got a skin this update. So it made all 10 Sprout mains happy.
