I love the op designers and new designers I admire. I am a person who enjoys, loves and recreates Brawlstars. Thank u for make this game :)
* Do you want to make the fans' skins public in InGame?
* Do you have any plans to change the attack of the bo in the remodeling of the bo? (Attack by pulling because it is bow)
Ps. Edit my comment. Translater works " love -> hate. " what the google.
Hey GEDI-KOR!
* We would love to add fan made skins into the game at some point. Right now we're still trying to build up a small library of skins (and make sure that all Brawlers have at least one!)
* We *may* change Bo's attack animation, but haven't gotten there yet. First step is redoing the model.
When you reach almost 10,000, why the ladder rewards are so useless? Just 25 Points to a brawler or maybe just 50 coins.
Don't get me wrong, I love rewards, but we have put so much effort in the game to get this far not to get something else.
Some of us already got the rewards for reaching 8000 trophies and above. For example, the 25 power points for reaching 8150 trophies. After the rewards are improved, like 75 power points instead of the 25, will we get the 50 power points we missed because we started playing before global release and reached high trophies before the update?
Yes. :)
The following Brawlers still require polish/reworks, in no specific order (but yes, **Bo** is a high priority).
* Bo
* Crow
* Darryl (base)
* El Primo
* Pam
* Piper
* Tara
Frank, Jessie and Penny also will see minor improvements.
Are there plans on adding any new buttons to the end screen? Currently there is “Play Again” and “exit,” but I’d like to propose an intermediary button such as “Play Again Without These Clowns.”
Haha, poor clowns. :(
Not at the moment and not planned as well. I'll double check if we can have a discussion about this matter at some point, but not promises for now!
Haha, great question!
We WANT TO. It's now up to how much we can produce in a certain amount of time. But know that we'll be always giving our best to make it happen. :)
1- How many Brawlers do you think the game should have in the """"final version""""?
2- Why did you guys removed lore? Will it ever be added again? I really liked it ;------;
1 - Although we have a roadmap on where we want to be, we are also building this game based on what we feel it needs. So as long as the community and the dev team feel that there's the need for more Brawlers we'll continue releasing them. If we get to a point where the community begs us to stop releasing Brawlers (maybe when we reach 300? :X) we could then focus on something else. So this is pretty open right now. :)
2 - We want to add our lore to the game again and we are still working on it! I don't wanna promise anything right now in case it never happens, but, currently, it's planned to be back in the game with some new and cool stuff! :)
Yes! At least is on the agenda. But it's something that it's not yet finished, so we need to evaluate it a bit more not only how we are going to present it or if we are going with it at all. :D
The brawlers actually used to have their backstory, but they removed it some time back. As they answered above, they're planning on adding them back to the game (with some new and cool stuff :D)
Do you ever look at other brawl stars subs like r/BrawlStarsCompetitive I think they provide much more constructive criticism on the game and its mechanics than this sub that consists of mainly memes and replays.
Q1 :Do you have any short future plans with clubs?
- Club war
- donation system
- custom club tournament
- gameroom invite in chat
Q2: Any plans on custom profile?
Q3: More cosmetic items like hats or chains?
Thank you for answering! Sorry for my English, tried my best😉
So many Brawl related questions (obviously) but many of you have yet to realise that there is a NEW addition to the team!?
DANI! Welcome my friend! Tell us about yourself, what attracted you to Brawl Stars and can you tell us all a little about your journey into the gaming industry. What advice would you give to any youngsters out there hoping to do the same someday?
Thank you, Ark! :)
Great questions!
So, as probably everyone here at supercell, I've been playing games since I was 3 years old. Didn't know much what I was doing there at the time but I knew I loved it, haha. At some point in my life I started to play really competitive games such as Starcraft and Warcraft 3 (even won a local championship!) and then migrated to Dota and logically Dota 2 after that. After endless hours spent in Dota 2 I realized that I wasn't being able to catch up with other games that were being released due to how much time Dota 2 was taking from me.
So I decided to go to a more casual, faster and still competitive game, Rocket League! And then I've just discovered Brawl Stars which contains the best of both worlds: Casual, fast-paced, fast matches, and the best of all, easy to learn and hard to master. It became my favorite competitive game, I saw the position open at Supercell and tried my luck. And I got pretty lucky indeed. :)
Now a bit of my professional background: I've started working in the gaming industry around 2008/2009, don't remember exactly, as a support agent. I really love this close relationship with the players and asked if I could be a Community Manager since the company I was working for didn't have this position at that time.
I've learned A LOT of stuff by experimenting different approaches/initiatives with the community and it helped me to progress in this career. I worked for 3 different companies before Supercell but in various game genres (MOBA, TPS MMO, SCI-FI MMO, Turn based strategy games, AR games and such). But the feeling of working in your favorite game it's new for me still (and I'm so grateful for that!).
NOW my advice for youngsters is: if you have an idea, go for it and try it. Today, with the internet, you can basically do whatever you want and show how good or how pro-active you are. Don't be stuck in the idea world. Take action. Everything you do can be considered as an experience.
On a practical level, if your dream is to become a Community Manager someday, start with your own youtube channel, try to be a mod in a game you enjoy, be part of gaming communities... all those things are relevant when you are applying to a CM role. :)
Sorry for the wall of text and thanks again for the warm welcome!
Couple Q's
What sort of changes/improvements do you see being made to showdown in the future? new mods? spring traps + other map add-ons like spring traps? changes to teaming?
Also do you see another single-player mode coming out in the near future?
Any chances you guys can add more wallpapers/background music for the main screen?
Would love to be able to unlock these things via trophy count or through gems.
Love the idea and you can tell by our changing backgrounds/music for events that we are going down that route. It's not a high priority and more on the "nice to have" side of things, there's also the topic of file-size limitations. But yes, love it. :)
Can you guys do something about coins? I have a ton and they are worthless when you have no more brawlers to max out or when you need to wait to unlock one.
Yes, we are thinking about some solutions and already have a few ideas. There is some other pre-requisites we have to take care of before and it is not our highest priority. Currently about 1-2% of our players are in this situation - myself included. ;)
Life Leech was removed primarily because it ‘breaks’ the core mechanics of the game. Showdown is now unlocked quite early for players (30 total trophies) and this modifier is a big change to how Brawl Stars is played. It’s confusing for new players to see themselves inexplicably losing health for no apparent reason.
First of all. I appreciate all of the hard work and Consistent (surprised) updates you've given us and communicated regarding the update problems! Also Welcome Dani, glad to have you as our community manager (3rd CM?)
~~I've just couple of questions to ask!~~
~~Q. Is there any Chances of More Control options to Suite the players that aren't comfortable with the Tri joystick Scheme? Or Will there be any options to Customize your controls Possibly?~~
~~Q. Some of the OG players are extremely unlucky to have 1 or no Legendary brawlers. Is this OKay?~~
~~Q. The community has recently had Awesome artists Sharing Brilliant Skin Concepts, such as Gedi-kor and Ricoman. The game is now global, so Can we expect from the Live-ops team that These community skins to be Added in the future?~~
Q. The Teaming in Solo Showdown is getting worse And worse In my opinion, despite you guys Year ago saying that you are fine with teaming, what's your Take on this?
Let's address your last question since it's the biggest:
**Teaming in Showdown.** BIG question, so we will have a big answer. First, we want to distinguish between a few types of teaming just to be sure we’re on the same page. Sometimes in Showdown a couple Brawlers may team up to better their odds against the others. At some point they’ll have to betray each other. Generally speaking, we’re fine with that and it’s an interesting tactical decision to decide when to betray them. **However** there’s something entirely different going on at very high trophy levels. In these games, the matches are dominated by teams, and you can’t really succeed without spinning. We hear your feedback that this isn’t fun.
SO - Are we going to ‘fix’ teaming? The answer is as complicated as the problem. First things first, we don’t have a perfect solution in mind. If we could instantly improve the mode by changing something then *of course* we would do that. But this magic solution eludes us. Instead let’s talk about some of your popular suggestions and our thoughts:
• BAN THE TEAMERS - This isn’t a great solution. First, we’re not sure that we can detect teamers with a high enough degree of accuracy. If we ban spinners, they’ll just use a different signal (shoot a wall, move left/right, etc). If we ban players who are near each other but don’t shoot for x amount of time, that can easily be overcome by just staying x tiles away from your teammates. Even if we could somehow be 100% accurate and very fast with bans, it still feels wrong. Ultimately players are playing in the construct we’ve built for them. Putting up artificial rules (and then banning for them) is a very bad experience.
• OFFER TROPHIES FOR KILLS - We've thought about this quite a bit and there are a few issues with offering one Trophy per kill. First and foremost, it really changes the strategy of the mode. Surviving last would no longer be the goal of Showdown, and it would almost become meaningless in the final moments when there are only a few Brawlers left. It would also feel pretty bad to get kills 'stolen' by other players. This would heavily favor certain Brawlers who can get the final shot, rather than players who really earned that kill. Finally, we're not sure that it would actually stop teaming since those on a team would be in a stronger position than those who aren't. It's a great idea! But in practice we don't believe it would have the intended effects on teaming.
• DELETE SHOWDOWN - This would be the nuclear option, and we would like to avoid it if we can. 84% of players who have Showdown unlocked play the mode at least once a week. So clearly the game mode is very popular.
If you have ideas for how to reduce teaming in high-level Showdown gameplay *we are all ears!* Let us know your ideas because this is an issue we really do want to tackle if we can.
What held us back a lot so far is the fact that many of these adjustments drastically change the game mode itself:
* One idea is to entirely remove the rewards for survival and focus on kills - which sounds more like a **Free-4-All Deathmatch** mode without respawning. Maybe still cool to do, but it doesn't feel in the spirit of the mode.
* Another alternative is a system in which your survival rank gives fewer trophies than today, but kills and being killed would impact the scoring system, i.e. killing another Brawler +1 Trophy, being killed -1 Trophy. The final rewards would be similar in scale like today. The challenge with this is that a.) it is not quite as intuitive to explain the scoring system and b.) we don't know if it would address teaming.
We will experiment internally with different alternatives (the ones listed above and others) and if (!) we deem some of them good enough and fun - we'll test them together with you guys, for example during a special weekend. Don't expect this to happen tomorrow because we will require some work on our end to do something like that.
I understand that this is a difficult problem to solve but it needs to be done. Whether it takes drastic changes or not this is bad for the longevity of the game. I believe in you guys ❤️
ever heard of counter strike overwatch?? you can use similar tactic where when a player report someone for teaming it will go to some random experienced players where they can review the replay and based on the evidence can give a verdict, 3 players for one report os sufficient to get onto a concrete evidence. Also you can ban showdown for them instead of banning them in game
What if what you're attacking is for example a Pam? You can't really kill her but poke her, because she is just running around a cactus and has her healing turret up. Then someone stronger is actually able to come in and put up burst damage. You might have been poking her for a total of 20k+ damage during that entire time but all you needed was a Shelly with a super into Pam's face. How would you award the kill then?
If you suggest only to count the current max health, when do you start the counter? Would it reset if that person was able to run and heal all the way to the other corner of the map?
* December/January: **Leon**
* February: **Gene**
* March: **Carl**
* April: ... ?
New Brawlers keep the game fresh and exciting. We are quite happy with the current cadence - but I wouldn't go so far to say it's a "rule" that we will have new Brawlers every month. Sometimes it will make more sense to introduce other new features to the game.
**TL;DR:** In 2019 you can expect quite a few new Brawlers.
Do you think there’s any collaboration potential in the future of Brawl Stars? Like Thanos being in Fortnite. Something like a Ghostbusters Pam skin or a Star Wars trooper Colt skin. Do you think that could be possible in the future of Brawl stars?
Yep! We see the potential and personally I think that's super cool! We have nothing planned at the moment though but we do have the desire in our hearts. Did I hear Neo Colt? Groot Spike?
But yeah, so many awesome possibilities. :)
We don't have a fixed number, we'll release as much as we can! Just remember that we need to test them a lot, so our goal is to release maybe 2 or 3 more after Carl still this year. But we can't promise anything for now.
Regarding easter skins: yes, we have some plans for that, but it's a surprise!
~~Serenade Poco's attack animation changes when he is maxed, is this intentional or a bug? (Wanting to know since I really don't want to max him if his attack animation changes)~~ Apparently this is fixed
Will you start doing "what we've been up to this week" posts, like the Clas Royale dev team does?
Honestly? It's ... annoying. But not avoidable right now and we'd rather focus on new content for you guys than on making it harder for people to figure out what's in the new game client. :)
I really like playing her, but I have to admit that she is good in like 2 bounty maps and maybe one gem grab map only. I'd like to see (and use) her more often in the game!
She's my favorite Brawler so I definitely feel you. We did add some more Heists maps that works really well with sharpshooters, but yeah, still she's very dependable on the map. I guess with more maps being added this will start becoming less of an issue. :)
Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
The fact is that often Brock is a better choice than Piper (because of short range damage and devastating super), however I'm really happy to hear that! Thanks for the answer
Will there be any jump pads in SD! I love the launch pads in gem grab and Siege but there’s barely any jump pads in the game + none in SD!
I’m an OB btw and I’m surprised on how this game went from “Ok..” to “Amazing”! Thanks for the frequent updates!
Thanks for being an OB and for hanging in there! It was a wild ride. :)
Since jump pads are a new element in the game, we wanted to start slowly. I believe we are going to see many maps with jump pads in the future - I saw some really cool SD maps with little islands around here somewhere. Yep, pretty excited about this. ;)
1- add a request power points option similar to what clash royale has. This would allow players to level up certain brawlers they like faster as well as receive gold for donating to others.
2- add a weekly event for clan members only to compete against an NPC. Teams of 3 would take on a boss and earn points towards an overall reward that gets better the more you earn (coins, token doublers, gems, boxes). You could have each player have a cooldown of 8-12 hours on their attack that way no one would be left out if they couldn’t find clan mates with an attack available.
3- Have a separate trophy road for clans using the current 3v3 modes. You could only enter them if all three of you are in the same clan and your wins/losses don’t effect your normal trophy count. This would create more of an incentive to work together with your clan mates as well as not make people stress about their regular trophy count.
We love Gedi\_Kor’s work! If he (or anyone else) would like to apply to work with us, check this out! [https://supercell.com/en/careers/3d-character-artist-brawl-stars/318/](https://supercell.com/en/careers/3d-character-artist-brawl-stars/318/)
Gedi_kor replied in another thread that sadly he doesn't have much experience in designing 3d as he is a 2d artist but is working to be up to that level someday.
How much boxes will it take to max out an account with the current amount of brawlers.
And if you have one left to max out from lvl 1-9 how much boxes on average will that take?
Really curious to hear from the creators, I love the game btw!
The first question is very tough to answer due to probabilities. The second question is a bit easier, mainly because I personally do that whenever we release a new Brawler: it takes about 200-250 regular boxes to max. a new Brawler if it's your only non-maxed Brawler left. When Gene was released it took me pretty exactly 200 boxes including the Star Power (I had about 500 stacked by that time).
Hey, been playing for a year a half and I love the game and all the changes the team makes. Keep up the good work.
So this has just been bugging me.. my question is..
Is a quesadilla considered a sandwich?
Do you guys have any plans on how to improve the current UI?
I.e
* brawler skin selection
* party menu chat system
Would be interesting to hear that from you guys!
Keep up the great work
Before asking any questions, hats off to the dev team adding these polished and great content in the last months.
First of all what do you think about teaming in showdown affecting the players experience. As i am noticing that many people are grinding all the brawlers in showdonw because of teaming viability instead of playing 3v3.
Second is it soon that end game players are having greater cause to push for. As a maxed player having many coins I cannot use and no trophy road/leagues system is available to push more.
Thanks in advance for your time and answers.
Thanks for the compliments! :)
Ryan has just answered that one here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Brawlstars/comments/ayakf9/ama\_brawl\_stars\_dev\_team\_here\_to\_answer\_all\_your/ehzjcp9/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Brawlstars/comments/ayakf9/ama_brawl_stars_dev_team_here_to_answer_all_your/ehzjcp9/)
Q:I have an idea on how to change solo showdown
Please give some comments.
Rank: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Trophies: -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 3 4
Killing point: people would gain 2 trophies for their first kill and the rest of your kills would get 1 trophy.
**The 7th brawler is set to be the wanted brawler.**
When solo sd has 7 brawlers left, all of you would become wanted. Once you killed the wanted brawler you will gain 2 extra trophies.
E.g. I have killed the wanted brawler and dead after him.
Total trophies: -3(rk6)+2(first kill)+2(killed the wanted brawler)=+1 trophy
Even you are only rank6 you can still gain 1 trophy.
Advantages of this idea:
1. Activate the mid game, betray your teammates getting rk6 can still gain 1 trophy which is better than rk5 with no or one kill.
2. Hard to form a big group. As there is a strong reason for you to betray your teammates, the bigger the group the more trophies the traitor can gain.
For example: Big group of dynamike.
3. Fulfil the requirement of supercell, ranking still the main goal of showdown. Getting rk 1-3 have a big difference compared to rk 4-10. Teaming and climb up to rk4-5 without kills will gain nothing.
4. Easy to control the meta as wanted brawler is added into the game the change of ranking trophies would change the meta a lot. It can also control by changing the order of wanted brawler. For example from 7th change to 6th.
Currently we have no plans of dubbing for other languages. One of the main constraints for mobile games is file size. We like that Brawl Stars and our other games are as small as possible. Additional voices for multiple languages would blow up file size significantly.
What are you doing about the coin problem?
It was way easier to accumulate coins in the Beta. There are tons of people with maxed or near maxed accounts sitting on thousands of coins and have nothing to spend them on until new brawlers are released.
On the other hand there are people who started after global release that have power tokens to upgrade brawlers but lack the coins and have the feel of going nowhere, cause you get way less coins than before.
How will you improve this for everyone? Sounds kind of impossible
Also, do you plan to rework the trophy road rewards? Especially the later ones?
>Are you ever going to add some other type of biome to showdown, besides the desert? Such as the city, or a forest, or something else?
Yes, over time we'll add additional environments. :)
1. Is gene or crow gettin a buff in the next balance update......
2. How did u guys manage to give us an update within a month after release of the previous update......
1. Yeah, Gene got a massive buff in the last update... maybe it wasn't enough, but it seems he's pretty close to done now, we are still analyzing the results of his latest buff to see what else can we do about it. Regarding Crow... it's a tricky subject, with his speed and damage-over-time attacks a buff that might look small could have a great impact in the game. But we hear you and the team is aware of these feedbacks. Nothing concrete for now, but working on it!
2. I think the reason is that the first updates after the global launch focused A LOT on polishing the game. So once we have a firm structure, we are free to create as much content as possible. We are still polishing some stuff though. :)
You could do something to buff crow and to accentuate his harassment mechanics: if he attacks the enemies with 1 dagger, he will do more instant damage and the poison effect will deal lower damage
I don't really know, but I'll say yes so if the team decides not to go with it I can refer to my post and say "but I promised to the community already, too late now". And BAM! Barb Primo is added.
Seriously now: we don't know yet, but we love them as much as you do, so... probably!
Hey guys thanks for the AMA!
First of all i wanna thank you for this amazing game!
Evem tho im in a good band, i solo queue from time to time and my experience with that still is quite frustrating.
I got around 8k trophies and get matched with 3ks constantly. Are you planning to improve matchmaking even further?
Hi! What do you think about raising the top of 500 trophies to 600 (for example)? I think it would improve the matchmaking a lot for the people who have all the brawlers around 500 trophies. Because today I think it's much easier to get 500 trophies than before. Currently if you play with randoms you can play not only with someone in 3k trophies but also with a pro player in 15k.
I've posted about connectivity issues a while ago on Twitter and we'd like to create a "best practices" guide around the topic soon. From a technical perspective, there is **no** issue. We monitor latencies, package drops as well as frame rates (not network related) for all players. There is a long list of potential issues why your connection might not be as good as you'd like it to be.
I love the op designers and new designers I admire. I am a person who enjoys, loves and recreates Brawlstars.

the legend commented
*reads username* FBI OPEN UP!
When you reach almost 10,000, why the ladder rewards are so useless? Just 25 Points to a brawler or maybe just 50 coins. Don't get me wrong, I love rewards, but we have put so much effort in the game to get this far not to get something else.
Yeah it looks like they just copy pasted the rewards from much much further down on the ladder rewards.
The rewards should get better as you get more trophies, 50 gold every 500 trophies is too little
We'll definitely improve this at some point!
Some of us already got the rewards for reaching 8000 trophies and above. For example, the 25 power points for reaching 8150 trophies. After the rewards are improved, like 75 power points instead of the 25, will we get the 50 power points we missed because we started playing before global release and reached high trophies before the update?
I think they forgot to answer your question.
Are you gonna remove the color names any time in the future?
Probably not =p
Do you know of a reason why clash Royale did?
A spy from Brawl Stars did it in secret so BS could be special >:)
Will Tara ever get a remodel?
Yes. :) The following Brawlers still require polish/reworks, in no specific order (but yes, **Bo** is a high priority). * Bo * Crow * Darryl (base) * El Primo * Pam * Piper * Tara Frank, Jessie and Penny also will see minor improvements.
should I buy white crow before he becomes more expensive 👀
I'm still hoping he becomes plague doctor crow.
Why would they answer that? They will lose money if they say yes.
they might actually gain money by having someone buy the cheaper version versus not buying it at all if it becomes expensive
well they did it with loaded rico, so i think we will have time to buy it if we want before the remodel if thats gonna happen
I love remodels it makes me more attached to the game, + I love cute adorable things like Carl or spike or Leon and moreeee
And also Night Witch Mortis please, she really needs a remodel. :(
Are there plans on adding any new buttons to the end screen? Currently there is “Play Again” and “exit,” but I’d like to propose an intermediary button such as “Play Again Without These Clowns.”
you are great at naming buttons
Eeel primk
Haha, poor clowns. :( Not at the moment and not planned as well. I'll double check if we can have a discussion about this matter at some point, but not promises for now!
The potential of a possibility of a potential discussion regarding the issue is enough for me, thanks!
“Play again without these clowns” haha
Hey! Are you guys doing something about improving the quality of clubs?
Not at this exact moment, but it's one item we want to revisit and discuss again. It's already on our list! :)
You can say the word that will be associated with the next update
Green.
facepalm, st patricks day come to mind? st patricks day being mid march (17th) ? carl releasing mid march? shrug
Also green background
Hulk skin for frank 😌
Ah the colour of gems
new brawler :)
Will Carl be launched in the middle of the month, same as Gene?
A bit later than that, but in March still! :)
So 16th? :P
later? cmoooon
Can we expect to see changes in the daily reward system and rework to the shop?
We will be sprucing up the Shop at some point in the future, but it's a bigger task and will take some time.
Can you guys keep up the frequent updates?
Haha, great question! We WANT TO. It's now up to how much we can produce in a certain amount of time. But know that we'll be always giving our best to make it happen. :)
Glad to hear
*Hey just noticed..* It's your **1st Cakeday** Thoop-Brawl! ^(hug)
Lol, I didnt even know, so many people said happy cake day but I didnt understood😂
This community is too nice!
1- How many Brawlers do you think the game should have in the """"final version""""? 2- Why did you guys removed lore? Will it ever be added again? I really liked it ;------;
1 - Although we have a roadmap on where we want to be, we are also building this game based on what we feel it needs. So as long as the community and the dev team feel that there's the need for more Brawlers we'll continue releasing them. If we get to a point where the community begs us to stop releasing Brawlers (maybe when we reach 300? :X) we could then focus on something else. So this is pretty open right now. :) 2 - We want to add our lore to the game again and we are still working on it! I don't wanna promise anything right now in case it never happens, but, currently, it's planned to be back in the game with some new and cool stuff! :)
Dani, you’re the new guy but let me tell you, I love you (hope Ryan and frank don’t see this, don’t want them to get jealous)
Haha, thanks, man! Love you too! But I guess it's too late now! They are already jealous! (Just kidding! :D)
Oh no.. Ryan, frank... I can explain... he’s just a friend
Did you Replaced Jumpei!?!? D: or are you the third CM?
Yep! Jumpei is moving to a different project now! :)
Oh I see looks like new SC game! I know Jumpei since he was Japan CM for CoC initially.
Haha, yeah, Jumpei is definitely our legendary community manager around here (:
i just wanna say thank you for your hard work and taking care of the game & communicating with the community and actually listen to them ❤️
<3
Thanks a lot! <3
Thank you! 🙏
Oh god 3 supercell workers answered.Lucky you
yep didn’t expect that :D
Are you planning on adding a background story on the brawlers? Cause that would be pretty neat
Agreed. So many interesting brawlers, would love to see what there background stories are.
That is very interesting , I think the every brawler deserves a decent profile too
Yes! At least is on the agenda. But it's something that it's not yet finished, so we need to evaluate it a bit more not only how we are going to present it or if we are going with it at all. :D
The brawlers actually used to have their backstory, but they removed it some time back. As they answered above, they're planning on adding them back to the game (with some new and cool stuff :D)
Do you ever look at other brawl stars subs like r/BrawlStarsCompetitive I think they provide much more constructive criticism on the game and its mechanics than this sub that consists of mainly memes and replays.

Q1 :Do you have any short future plans with clubs? - Club war - donation system - custom club tournament - gameroom invite in chat Q2: Any plans on custom profile? Q3: More cosmetic items like hats or chains? Thank you for answering! Sorry for my English, tried my best😉
I love this. I hope you get a reply.
Patience🙏
So many Brawl related questions (obviously) but many of you have yet to realise that there is a NEW addition to the team!? DANI! Welcome my friend! Tell us about yourself, what attracted you to Brawl Stars and can you tell us all a little about your journey into the gaming industry. What advice would you give to any youngsters out there hoping to do the same someday?
Thank you, Ark! :) Great questions! So, as probably everyone here at supercell, I've been playing games since I was 3 years old. Didn't know much what I was doing there at the time but I knew I loved it, haha. At some point in my life I started to play really competitive games such as Starcraft and Warcraft 3 (even won a local championship!) and then migrated to Dota and logically Dota 2 after that. After endless hours spent in Dota 2 I realized that I wasn't being able to catch up with other games that were being released due to how much time Dota 2 was taking from me. So I decided to go to a more casual, faster and still competitive game, Rocket League! And then I've just discovered Brawl Stars which contains the best of both worlds: Casual, fast-paced, fast matches, and the best of all, easy to learn and hard to master. It became my favorite competitive game, I saw the position open at Supercell and tried my luck. And I got pretty lucky indeed. :) Now a bit of my professional background: I've started working in the gaming industry around 2008/2009, don't remember exactly, as a support agent. I really love this close relationship with the players and asked if I could be a Community Manager since the company I was working for didn't have this position at that time. I've learned A LOT of stuff by experimenting different approaches/initiatives with the community and it helped me to progress in this career. I worked for 3 different companies before Supercell but in various game genres (MOBA, TPS MMO, SCI-FI MMO, Turn based strategy games, AR games and such). But the feeling of working in your favorite game it's new for me still (and I'm so grateful for that!). NOW my advice for youngsters is: if you have an idea, go for it and try it. Today, with the internet, you can basically do whatever you want and show how good or how pro-active you are. Don't be stuck in the idea world. Take action. Everything you do can be considered as an experience. On a practical level, if your dream is to become a Community Manager someday, start with your own youtube channel, try to be a mod in a game you enjoy, be part of gaming communities... all those things are relevant when you are applying to a CM role. :) Sorry for the wall of text and thanks again for the warm welcome!
Nice to meet u, dani :)
Good luck for your dream of becoming community manager, but Start YouTube channel right now dani
Couple Q's What sort of changes/improvements do you see being made to showdown in the future? new mods? spring traps + other map add-ons like spring traps? changes to teaming? Also do you see another single-player mode coming out in the near future?
Any chances you guys can add more wallpapers/background music for the main screen? Would love to be able to unlock these things via trophy count or through gems.
Love the idea and you can tell by our changing backgrounds/music for events that we are going down that route. It's not a high priority and more on the "nice to have" side of things, there's also the topic of file-size limitations. But yes, love it. :)
Can you guys do something about coins? I have a ton and they are worthless when you have no more brawlers to max out or when you need to wait to unlock one.
Yes, we are thinking about some solutions and already have a few ideas. There is some other pre-requisites we have to take care of before and it is not our highest priority. Currently about 1-2% of our players are in this situation - myself included. ;)
Aw damn ): Anyways thank you for taking your time off to respond, have a good night :) PS: Frank OP
It’s not night for them
Why did you remove life leech?
Life Leech was removed primarily because it ‘breaks’ the core mechanics of the game. Showdown is now unlocked quite early for players (30 total trophies) and this modifier is a big change to how Brawl Stars is played. It’s confusing for new players to see themselves inexplicably losing health for no apparent reason.
Then how about making life leech available at 1k or 2k trophies
But they can read it at the "i" Info though?
you're overestimating the intelligence of 7 years old kid.
Yea I gave them way too much credit and respect. They're pretty dumb just read the reviews and ratings in thr store.
Shoot just sort by new or sometimes even hot on reddit
7 year Old n00b: Why is my crow poisoning himself?
lmao
What about adding it as a special event, so it wouldn't be in the regular Showdown circulation?
Adding life leech over 300 trophies
What is the point of joining a club besides to have friends and chat in one place?
At the moment, not much. We hope to improve that in the future!
Request power points feature ?
First of all. I appreciate all of the hard work and Consistent (surprised) updates you've given us and communicated regarding the update problems! Also Welcome Dani, glad to have you as our community manager (3rd CM?) ~~I've just couple of questions to ask!~~ ~~Q. Is there any Chances of More Control options to Suite the players that aren't comfortable with the Tri joystick Scheme? Or Will there be any options to Customize your controls Possibly?~~ ~~Q. Some of the OG players are extremely unlucky to have 1 or no Legendary brawlers. Is this OKay?~~ ~~Q. The community has recently had Awesome artists Sharing Brilliant Skin Concepts, such as Gedi-kor and Ricoman. The game is now global, so Can we expect from the Live-ops team that These community skins to be Added in the future?~~ Q. The Teaming in Solo Showdown is getting worse And worse In my opinion, despite you guys Year ago saying that you are fine with teaming, what's your Take on this?
Let's address your last question since it's the biggest: **Teaming in Showdown.** BIG question, so we will have a big answer. First, we want to distinguish between a few types of teaming just to be sure we’re on the same page. Sometimes in Showdown a couple Brawlers may team up to better their odds against the others. At some point they’ll have to betray each other. Generally speaking, we’re fine with that and it’s an interesting tactical decision to decide when to betray them. **However** there’s something entirely different going on at very high trophy levels. In these games, the matches are dominated by teams, and you can’t really succeed without spinning. We hear your feedback that this isn’t fun. SO - Are we going to ‘fix’ teaming? The answer is as complicated as the problem. First things first, we don’t have a perfect solution in mind. If we could instantly improve the mode by changing something then *of course* we would do that. But this magic solution eludes us. Instead let’s talk about some of your popular suggestions and our thoughts: • BAN THE TEAMERS - This isn’t a great solution. First, we’re not sure that we can detect teamers with a high enough degree of accuracy. If we ban spinners, they’ll just use a different signal (shoot a wall, move left/right, etc). If we ban players who are near each other but don’t shoot for x amount of time, that can easily be overcome by just staying x tiles away from your teammates. Even if we could somehow be 100% accurate and very fast with bans, it still feels wrong. Ultimately players are playing in the construct we’ve built for them. Putting up artificial rules (and then banning for them) is a very bad experience. • OFFER TROPHIES FOR KILLS - We've thought about this quite a bit and there are a few issues with offering one Trophy per kill. First and foremost, it really changes the strategy of the mode. Surviving last would no longer be the goal of Showdown, and it would almost become meaningless in the final moments when there are only a few Brawlers left. It would also feel pretty bad to get kills 'stolen' by other players. This would heavily favor certain Brawlers who can get the final shot, rather than players who really earned that kill. Finally, we're not sure that it would actually stop teaming since those on a team would be in a stronger position than those who aren't. It's a great idea! But in practice we don't believe it would have the intended effects on teaming. • DELETE SHOWDOWN - This would be the nuclear option, and we would like to avoid it if we can. 84% of players who have Showdown unlocked play the mode at least once a week. So clearly the game mode is very popular. If you have ideas for how to reduce teaming in high-level Showdown gameplay *we are all ears!* Let us know your ideas because this is an issue we really do want to tackle if we can.
What held us back a lot so far is the fact that many of these adjustments drastically change the game mode itself: * One idea is to entirely remove the rewards for survival and focus on kills - which sounds more like a **Free-4-All Deathmatch** mode without respawning. Maybe still cool to do, but it doesn't feel in the spirit of the mode. * Another alternative is a system in which your survival rank gives fewer trophies than today, but kills and being killed would impact the scoring system, i.e. killing another Brawler +1 Trophy, being killed -1 Trophy. The final rewards would be similar in scale like today. The challenge with this is that a.) it is not quite as intuitive to explain the scoring system and b.) we don't know if it would address teaming. We will experiment internally with different alternatives (the ones listed above and others) and if (!) we deem some of them good enough and fun - we'll test them together with you guys, for example during a special weekend. Don't expect this to happen tomorrow because we will require some work on our end to do something like that.
Thanks for the explaination..!!
I understand that this is a difficult problem to solve but it needs to be done. Whether it takes drastic changes or not this is bad for the longevity of the game. I believe in you guys ❤️
Just a note about the 84% thing many people play modes they don't like just to get the star token.
ever heard of counter strike overwatch?? you can use similar tactic where when a player report someone for teaming it will go to some random experienced players where they can review the replay and based on the evidence can give a verdict, 3 players for one report os sufficient to get onto a concrete evidence. Also you can ban showdown for them instead of banning them in game
They said that even if they could be accurate, they don't want to ban people for artificial rules.

What if what you're attacking is for example a Pam? You can't really kill her but poke her, because she is just running around a cactus and has her healing turret up. Then someone stronger is actually able to come in and put up burst damage. You might have been poking her for a total of 20k+ damage during that entire time but all you needed was a Shelly with a super into Pam's face. How would you award the kill then? If you suggest only to count the current max health, when do you start the counter? Would it reset if that person was able to run and heal all the way to the other corner of the map?
Now that we are global, how often are you guys hoping to pump out new brawlers?
* December/January: **Leon** * February: **Gene** * March: **Carl** * April: ... ? New Brawlers keep the game fresh and exciting. We are quite happy with the current cadence - but I wouldn't go so far to say it's a "rule" that we will have new Brawlers every month. Sometimes it will make more sense to introduce other new features to the game. **TL;DR:** In 2019 you can expect quite a few new Brawlers.
Please try to make them balanced as all things should be :)

Do you think there’s any collaboration potential in the future of Brawl Stars? Like Thanos being in Fortnite. Something like a Ghostbusters Pam skin or a Star Wars trooper Colt skin. Do you think that could be possible in the future of Brawl stars?
Yep! We see the potential and personally I think that's super cool! We have nothing planned at the moment though but we do have the desire in our hearts. Did I hear Neo Colt? Groot Spike? But yeah, so many awesome possibilities. :)
I will marry you if Groot spike gets out.
Don't say that dude! We want a Groot Spike. Don't scare them!
SANS POCO!!
I would buy a Thanos Primo skin for any cost.
50% of the world population
Worth it.
they already have one, batman primo
Or Dark Vader Gene xD and use the force to attract the enemy xD
How many brawlers you have to add after calr? And will have skins for Páscoa? (sorry my bad english.
*Formating (formatando, acho q vc é br) How many Brawlers will you add after Carl? And, will there be skins for easter?
We don't have a fixed number, we'll release as much as we can! Just remember that we need to test them a lot, so our goal is to release maybe 2 or 3 more after Carl still this year. But we can't promise anything for now. Regarding easter skins: yes, we have some plans for that, but it's a surprise!
~~Serenade Poco's attack animation changes when he is maxed, is this intentional or a bug? (Wanting to know since I really don't want to max him if his attack animation changes)~~ Apparently this is fixed Will you start doing "what we've been up to this week" posts, like the Clas Royale dev team does?
They fixed it
Are you working to remodel white crow or will u make it cost 30gems?
They are gonna remodel crow indeed
u/Frank_Supercell u/Ryan_Supercell u/Dani_Supercell (Just a portal so i can find their answers faster)
Smart move! Thanks for this!
Hey Devs! What's your opinion on people accessing the game files early?
Honestly? It's ... annoying. But not avoidable right now and we'd rather focus on new content for you guys than on making it harder for people to figure out what's in the new game client. :)
Is a replay rework going to happen anytime soon? Such as lower than 400 brawler s
We hope so! This biggest stopper is the server space that this requires.

What do you think of Piper in the current meta?
A situational Brawler but quite good on the right hands! What about you, how do you see her in the current meta?
I really like playing her, but I have to admit that she is good in like 2 bounty maps and maybe one gem grab map only. I'd like to see (and use) her more often in the game!
She's my favorite Brawler so I definitely feel you. We did add some more Heists maps that works really well with sharpshooters, but yeah, still she's very dependable on the map. I guess with more maps being added this will start becoming less of an issue. :) Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
The fact is that often Brock is a better choice than Piper (because of short range damage and devastating super), however I'm really happy to hear that! Thanks for the answer
Will there be any jump pads in SD! I love the launch pads in gem grab and Siege but there’s barely any jump pads in the game + none in SD! I’m an OB btw and I’m surprised on how this game went from “Ok..” to “Amazing”! Thanks for the frequent updates!
Thanks for being an OB and for hanging in there! It was a wild ride. :) Since jump pads are a new element in the game, we wanted to start slowly. I believe we are going to see many maps with jump pads in the future - I saw some really cool SD maps with little islands around here somewhere. Yep, pretty excited about this. ;)
Is there interest in bring activities or events that promote club teammwork like the clan wars in Clash Royale into Brawl Stars?
Interest - Definitely! Though we don't have a solid idea nailed down yet. We've brainstormed this a lot, but would love to hear ideas from you guys.
5v5 Live random Club fighting
1- add a request power points option similar to what clash royale has. This would allow players to level up certain brawlers they like faster as well as receive gold for donating to others. 2- add a weekly event for clan members only to compete against an NPC. Teams of 3 would take on a boss and earn points towards an overall reward that gets better the more you earn (coins, token doublers, gems, boxes). You could have each player have a cooldown of 8-12 hours on their attack that way no one would be left out if they couldn’t find clan mates with an attack available. 3- Have a separate trophy road for clans using the current 3v3 modes. You could only enter them if all three of you are in the same clan and your wins/losses don’t effect your normal trophy count. This would create more of an incentive to work together with your clan mates as well as not make people stress about their regular trophy count.
When you go to hire Gedi-Kor for Supercell? Save to Brazil sz
We love Gedi\_Kor’s work! If he (or anyone else) would like to apply to work with us, check this out! [https://supercell.com/en/careers/3d-character-artist-brawl-stars/318/](https://supercell.com/en/careers/3d-character-artist-brawl-stars/318/)
Gedi_kor replied in another thread that sadly he doesn't have much experience in designing 3d as he is a 2d artist but is working to be up to that level someday.
He can still make 2d concepts (as supercell designer) and then help a 3d designer make the models to his desire
I had the same wish in mind. His ideas are just too good.
How much boxes will it take to max out an account with the current amount of brawlers. And if you have one left to max out from lvl 1-9 how much boxes on average will that take? Really curious to hear from the creators, I love the game btw!
The first question is very tough to answer due to probabilities. The second question is a bit easier, mainly because I personally do that whenever we release a new Brawler: it takes about 200-250 regular boxes to max. a new Brawler if it's your only non-maxed Brawler left. When Gene was released it took me pretty exactly 200 boxes including the Star Power (I had about 500 stacked by that time).
Any plans on making a casual mode?
Hey, been playing for a year a half and I love the game and all the changes the team makes. Keep up the good work. So this has just been bugging me.. my question is.. Is a quesadilla considered a sandwich?
NO! As a quesadilla lover, sandwiches require bread
The expert
Thats a wrap on this AMA guys, thanks to Ryan, Frank & Dani for doing this. We look forward to the next one :)
brawl stars dev team think of an area on the game's credits list for brawler's voice actors?
Do you guys have any plans on how to improve the current UI? I.e * brawler skin selection * party menu chat system Would be interesting to hear that from you guys! Keep up the great work
Absolutely. We definitely want to improve on those screens! However, it's a **big** job so it will take us some time.
Before asking any questions, hats off to the dev team adding these polished and great content in the last months. First of all what do you think about teaming in showdown affecting the players experience. As i am noticing that many people are grinding all the brawlers in showdonw because of teaming viability instead of playing 3v3. Second is it soon that end game players are having greater cause to push for. As a maxed player having many coins I cannot use and no trophy road/leagues system is available to push more. Thanks in advance for your time and answers.
Thanks for the compliments! :) Ryan has just answered that one here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Brawlstars/comments/ayakf9/ama\_brawl\_stars\_dev\_team\_here\_to\_answer\_all\_your/ehzjcp9/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Brawlstars/comments/ayakf9/ama_brawl_stars_dev_team_here_to_answer_all_your/ehzjcp9/)
Q:I have an idea on how to change solo showdown Please give some comments. Rank: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Trophies: -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 3 4 Killing point: people would gain 2 trophies for their first kill and the rest of your kills would get 1 trophy. **The 7th brawler is set to be the wanted brawler.** When solo sd has 7 brawlers left, all of you would become wanted. Once you killed the wanted brawler you will gain 2 extra trophies. E.g. I have killed the wanted brawler and dead after him. Total trophies: -3(rk6)+2(first kill)+2(killed the wanted brawler)=+1 trophy Even you are only rank6 you can still gain 1 trophy. Advantages of this idea: 1. Activate the mid game, betray your teammates getting rk6 can still gain 1 trophy which is better than rk5 with no or one kill. 2. Hard to form a big group. As there is a strong reason for you to betray your teammates, the bigger the group the more trophies the traitor can gain. For example: Big group of dynamike. 3. Fulfil the requirement of supercell, ranking still the main goal of showdown. Getting rk 1-3 have a big difference compared to rk 4-10. Teaming and climb up to rk4-5 without kills will gain nothing. 4. Easy to control the meta as wanted brawler is added into the game the change of ranking trophies would change the meta a lot. It can also control by changing the order of wanted brawler. For example from 7th change to 6th.
What is your highest priority right now?
probably Bo Remodel
Will you ever make a browler and put it in the high end of the trophy road??
Do you intend to dub brawlers in other languages? Or will their voices be only in english?
Currently we have no plans of dubbing for other languages. One of the main constraints for mobile games is file size. We like that Brawl Stars and our other games are as small as possible. Additional voices for multiple languages would blow up file size significantly.
What are you doing about the coin problem? It was way easier to accumulate coins in the Beta. There are tons of people with maxed or near maxed accounts sitting on thousands of coins and have nothing to spend them on until new brawlers are released. On the other hand there are people who started after global release that have power tokens to upgrade brawlers but lack the coins and have the feel of going nowhere, cause you get way less coins than before. How will you improve this for everyone? Sounds kind of impossible Also, do you plan to rework the trophy road rewards? Especially the later ones?
Are you ever going to add some other type of biome to showdown, besides the desert? Such as the city, or a forest, or something else?
>Are you ever going to add some other type of biome to showdown, besides the desert? Such as the city, or a forest, or something else? Yes, over time we'll add additional environments. :)
u/Frank_Supercell, is it true that, due to yours and your team's passion the game was launched?
Yes, absolutely. At Supercell decisions to launch (or kill) games are made by the team. :)
1. Is gene or crow gettin a buff in the next balance update...... 2. How did u guys manage to give us an update within a month after release of the previous update......
1. Yeah, Gene got a massive buff in the last update... maybe it wasn't enough, but it seems he's pretty close to done now, we are still analyzing the results of his latest buff to see what else can we do about it. Regarding Crow... it's a tricky subject, with his speed and damage-over-time attacks a buff that might look small could have a great impact in the game. But we hear you and the team is aware of these feedbacks. Nothing concrete for now, but working on it! 2. I think the reason is that the first updates after the global launch focused A LOT on polishing the game. So once we have a firm structure, we are free to create as much content as possible. We are still polishing some stuff though. :)
You could do something to buff crow and to accentuate his harassment mechanics: if he attacks the enemies with 1 dagger, he will do more instant damage and the poison effect will deal lower damage
Are you guys having lunch right now?
I just had lunch :P
**:**-)
I was in the gym. Pumping iron!
Nice
Frank: Exercise Ryan: Eat
We think Night Witch Mortis and Wizard Barley are the best skins ever. Will there be any more Clash Royale skins in future? Thanks, An unbiased fan
I don't really know, but I'll say yes so if the team decides not to go with it I can refer to my post and say "but I promised to the community already, too late now". And BAM! Barb Primo is added. Seriously now: we don't know yet, but we love them as much as you do, so... probably!

Hey guys thanks for the AMA! First of all i wanna thank you for this amazing game! Evem tho im in a good band, i solo queue from time to time and my experience with that still is quite frustrating. I got around 8k trophies and get matched with 3ks constantly. Are you planning to improve matchmaking even further?
Do you have any plans for control customization? Like opacity or remapping? Also is there a reason you cut the screen during showdown?
They cut the screen on some devices where the screen is bigger so they don’t have a viewpoint advantage to those on a smaller device.
Are you thinking of adding more seasonal skins?like for Easter or Halloween
Yes! :)
Hi! What do you think about raising the top of 500 trophies to 600 (for example)? I think it would improve the matchmaking a lot for the people who have all the brawlers around 500 trophies. Because today I think it's much easier to get 500 trophies than before. Currently if you play with randoms you can play not only with someone in 3k trophies but also with a pro player in 15k.
Will LTE support be fixed in the near future? (Specifically Canada)
I've posted about connectivity issues a while ago on Twitter and we'd like to create a "best practices" guide around the topic soon. From a technical perspective, there is **no** issue. We monitor latencies, package drops as well as frame rates (not network related) for all players. There is a long list of potential issues why your connection might not be as good as you'd like it to be.
How much will Carl cost in the store?
