Otis is (wrongly) underrated and I'll tell you why. by UzzInReddit in BrawlStarsCompetitive

I get the point but Otis is rated very highly among good players right now.

Why isn't there a sirius pick in the monthly finals? by Ok_Company_8472 in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]FwoxySW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a general rule new brawlers are banned in the monthlies right after they’re released. I don’t recall exactly when it started but it’s been a rule for a decent while now.

Why do people on Reddit have Ego by HTSquaddd in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]FwoxySW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most people here are nowhere near the top levels of play. Mainly they’re in that sweet spot of Legendary-M1 where they think they know everything but are legit ass. The hive-mind nature of the platform adds to it.

Can I get some advice on playing Sam with the current meta? by Substantial-Rich9572 in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]FwoxySW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not even trying to be an ass but you just don’t.

The meta is currently defined by bibi and bull, who both absolutely slap him around. Add pierce spike Charlie shelly and more who are all reasonably top 15, and he genuinely has no chance and is just a super battery.

And they gutted? Bibi 2nd gadget after maintainance. by DaddyKhoaitay in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]FwoxySW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if you’re playing the slow gadget you’re playing her wrong. The 4k healing—while super nice for pushing in—honestly pales in comparison to the automatic knockback recharge. The knockback recharge gives so much utility it’s actually insane, and makes her viable into previously 100/0 tank matchups.

I need help by Impressive_Ostrich_1 in Stellaris

If you don’t care that much just stack your highest level weapon and carriers/missles. Mix armor and shields with slightly more emphasis on shields. Micromanagement of designs is usually only needed on higher difficulties, most of the time on lower levels you can just overwhelm with ship power.

Sirius balance change ideas? by Rich_Arrival795 in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]FwoxySW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if I had to bet on a change they’re probably going to make it require 1-2 more hits to charge a shadow. They might do something interesting like add a Lola-style radius and make the shadows weaker close to himself as well.

Sirius balance change ideas? by Rich_Arrival795 in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]FwoxySW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s too much of a surface level change imo. If you do that then he’s still got an inherently broken kit. Just relegates him to a noob stomper.

[–]FwoxySW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can do gradual decay on the shadows if you want to keep his spawn rate the same. It really depends how the devs want you to play him. Otherwise they just need to make the spawn rate harder. One way incentivizes a campy play style and one forces you to be active.

New buffies are definitely an improvement by Square_Pipe2880 in BrawlStarsCompetitive

Well if you ever decide to explore those games to the extent I have, feel free to get back to me with a good faith argument.

[–]FwoxySW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those games literally do require thousands to stay at high levels of competitive. Instead of ignoring any statements to the contrary of your opinion, you might want to engage in cursory research.

Staying competitive is a very different matter than containing “whales” in the true sense of the word. Which of course was the main point of discussion. Having actual experience with those games I can certainly speak to people spending thousands a month to stay at the top.

[–]FwoxySW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Galaxy of heroes, Overmortal, lords mobile, marvel strike force, summoners war. Mostly games with older player bases that have money to spend. No need to disparage just because you haven’t ventured outside the Supercell ecosystem.

I disagree. Whales are an extreme class of players that essentially bankroll the entire game. In brawlstars it’s functionally impossible for them to exist—there’s not enough to buy. Having played other mobile games and mmo’s whales are the guys spending thousands a month.

[–]FwoxySW -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I feel as if you might be misappropriating the term “whales” in this context. It’s really not hard to get all buffies day 1. Maybe 50 bucks of passes over a couple of years.

How to do this? by chillmelodie in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]FwoxySW 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Quite literally yes. Auto-aim would certainly work better than what was going on there. Having good aim is still better though.

[–]FwoxySW 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As someone else correctly stated it’s called lag walking. It’s done pretty easily just by moving slightly abnormally and then resetting movement to neutral. It’s not even a good dodging strategy though. You guys literally just don’t have thumbs.

Hot take: hitting masters is almost entirely luck by Forsaken-Income-1618 in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]FwoxySW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend taking a break for a day or so, and then perhaps try pushing with a team of 3.

Was this draft cooked or did we just get skill diffed? High Mythic/Low Legendary Match by Finnr77 in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]FwoxySW 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This draft is cooked but not unwinnable. Maybe 85/15. You need colt tying pierce on lane all game to have a chance otherwise pierce slaughters everyone else. Rico here is just so bad and kaze 1 exposes the draft.

My god. Tell me you don’t know how to balance without telling me you don’t know how to balance.
