has the player-base recently been declining or this just about increasing revenue? it seems a lot of the logic behind the more "controversial" changes is to increase player retention and/or increase revenue. Like now we can only play 4 modes instead of 6, which makes the pool of queued players larger. This can improve matchmaking quality and speed and it's also a buffer against declining playerbase. We also have increased leveling benefits and the hyper-charges (with the special bundles) and higher quality 299 skins (stu and edgar), which incentivize spending resources and hence buying gems and BPs.
What is a bit concerning is the implied need for speed with these changes, like you said, a lot of these things were pushed early because it was better than waiting to try to have a big impact on the game as soon as possible. Hopefully the game is doing fine numbers wise?
I've made a bigger post on x.com if you're interested in some of our rationale.
So all the Gadgets and Star Powers that arent % based will be % based next season?
That's the plan. Note that doesn't mean that it SHOWS visually as "percentage of" but the underlying math.
The answer is: when most of the Gadgets and Star Powers have been developed, those were introduced with fixed values rather than percentage of x based ones since back then Power 9 was the highest you could go.
It's just a huge undertaking adapting more than 70 abilities into the new world. We're working on it though and hope to have (most of them or all) ready for the next update. We wanted to hit the timing for Hypercharge with the return of people from holidays (in Europe and in other areas of the planet where people have vacation around June-August) in order to make the best out of it for the game instead of waiting for this change. The rationale there that introducing Hypercharge earlier has a bigger impact than "fixing" existing abilities which aren't % based.
Of course people can make the argument if that was the right rationale, but if you consider that "QoL" updates don't stop the natural decline of games,...

It seems only visual though, so it's still giving Bling (phew!)
We are adding it to the list!
when you create a friendly game and choose a brawler with hypercharge, pressing the hypercharge button causes it
got it! thanks!
oh boy :D
Do you have the steps to repro this issue? Does it happen every time you go to that screen?
The #hypercharge update will be live right after the maintenance! Don't forget to play the Hypercharge Unleash game mode to get your free Shelly Hypercharge as soon as the update drops!
Thanks for your design suggestions. We'll take this into consideration! 🔥
It won’t change. The value was just incorrect in the developers version of the game that the content creators used for their videos
All of them.
And as a reminder about yesterday's discussions and poll - no decision has been made yet
We'll focus this week on the upcoming update and we'll bring up this topic later on once we have more time to discuss it
Since we are already at it, here's less controversial topic to discuss:
Payload came back this season with a few small changes 🛒
- Is it as cool as other game modes?
- Would you change something to make Payload be at the same level?
Let us know what you think about it!
External link →The short version is: Would you like us to bring back Skins that are no longer available in the game?
At the moment, Brawl Pass and Power League Skins (before the Biodome update), celebratory and seasonal Skins (Heroine Bibi, Ricochet), and even Star Shelly were given or sold as exclusive, meaning that only players who got those skins when they were available can ever own them.
However, as time went by, we got more and more new people into the game, and most players didn’t even have the chance to get most of those skins. Whether you are a collector or you just missed a cool Skin for your favorite Brawler, the idea of not being able to get it ever again is not great.
At the same time, we want to respect everyone who bought or got those Skins when they were available, and that’s why we are asking this question. We want to allow everyone to speak their mind before making any decision.
On Saturday, the 26th of August, we’ll have polls a...

Can you share your player tag with us? And maybe see if the problem still persist if you close the other apps running in the background?
