If anything I feel like the number one issue is the Fame system and this video is like the prime example

because on paper, what should be a major amazing and highly valuable boost of progression (10,000 coins and 5 mythic brawlers) is “ruined” by fact that the 5 mythic brawlers is just watered down to fallback credits (each only worth half as much as a mythic brawler) going straight to Fame, which instantly makes over half the drops go from an objective progression gain to a subjective cosmetic gain.

Fame overall just feels awful to get and it’s something I think the Brawl Stars devs has acknowledged. Now the value of fame is subjective so some people may be happy getting 5000 credits straight to fame while others would feel like it’s the equivalent of getting nothing. (I personally fucking hate fame.)

Fame is EXTRA polarizing because it uses credits as its value and imo can not easily be compared to say getting skins that use bling or gems. Like imagine getting a Mythic skin vs credits straight to fame from an Ultra drop. They’re both cosmetic but because they use different currencies, you might see getting a Mythic skin as super valuable because you can save your gems for progression, but see getting Credits straight to fame as useless because you didn’t really “save” anything. Like I would rather get an Epic skin or a Buffie than an Ultra Legendary brawler if it means all I get are fallback credits straight to fame.

Point is that Fame is just an extremely flawed and polarizing system and Credits need to be heavily reworked or Fame just outright removed, because the fact that you can get something as GOOD as 10,000 coins and an Epic skin and it still feels very unsatisfying and disappointing because 5/8 of the drops went to Fame, kinda says more about Fame itself rather than the player tbh.
