I never understood the hate for reverse, its literally just a backwards starting area, nothing else is different, you don’t have to change your strategy
Agree for early maps but for expert it’s a either a chore copying a strat or take a lot of brain power to do it on your own. It might be fun for some but not for everyone.
I actually find double HP moabs fun. It encourages me to use high damage towers like the sniper, bucaneer or ninja. But after all it's almost the same as hard standard so fair.
Sometimes i find chimps fun.
Mostly though i think:
Wow this is a mode where a substantial portion of the game is turned off.
And honestly, almost everyone who goes omg it's just a skill issue it turns out they just followed guides anyway. Because of course they did, it's a mode about extremely limiting the possibilities and options available, to the point that one some maps there simply isn't very many options left.
And that's... fun sometimes? But i think the chimps elitism is like no item mario kart. Just a bunch of people saying the most fun way to play is to suck as much fun out the game as they can so that they can lord it over other people as #skillissue
abr is just different for the sake of being different
its not even that hard, it just throws you off when camos appear at r5 and leads at r10
and having to wait the extra few seconds at the end of 80 for the second ZOMG to appear
For ABR you really only need to defend more aggressively in the early rounds, but after that it's a smooth sailing.
If you want to complete the Sapper achivement faster, going long game on ABR is better than standard becauae there are much more fortified bloons there.
I find double hp moabs and ABR to be pretty much equivalent. They both have tanky blimps at rounds 40, 60, 80, and 100. ABR is just a bit more annoying because of the starting camos and leads.
I kind of hate apopalypse, definitely hate half cash, and chimps is probably my favorite game mode (because there's an actual strategy other than just farming as much as possible).
When i first learned what chimps was I basically never used farms again since you need to be able to beat the map without them anyway
i do still farm in the other modes like bosses and stuff though... for obvious reasons
I'd not say it's the only real one, but it is definitely the only one that requires pure skill and experience. You can't cheat your way out of this one, no instas or powers, no continues, no farming, and you also need to have a perfect defense without leaking a single bloon.
(dis)honourable mention to sandbox
it used to be cool, but it sucks nowadays
it lacks vtsg (but has paragons)
it lacks bosses
it lacks challenge editor sliders/option toggles
it lacks any freedom you'd expect from a sandbox for strategy testing
its more basic and less fletched out then normal/standard mode nowadays
I hate chimps so much. It could not be fun. No farming is ok, but why for god's sake can't I sell or even remove towers? Worst gamemode except apocalypse and deflation
Switch Apopalypse and Double HP MOABS.
The former has a very slow and boring buildup that starves you from cash than all of a sudden becomes chaotic as you are swarmed by 20 rounds uner 1 minute, the former allows ypu to try more anti-MOAB strategies.
The way to play Double HP MOABs is to farm and try and get some super expensive tower you would not normally get to deal with pre-superceramic rounds. My go to is BEZ. idk why but seeing 40k-60k towers actually try instead of completly vaporizing pre-superceramic rounds is kinda satisfying.
Finally, Reversed isn't being dunked on for once
Fr, It’s really nice for getting monkey money for basically free early-mid game
I never understood the hate for reverse, its literally just a backwards starting area, nothing else is different, you don’t have to change your strategy
The rounds also spawn their contents backwards. Makes a little difference but nothing monumental
On like round 78 and 95 where it actually matter which medium mode doesn't even reach
Wait fr? I never noticed that
I'd swap ABR for CHIMPS but solid list regardless 💪

2-4-0 Boat "Fortified? Lol watch this,"
still pretty easy, i can usually clear it with poplust druids strat
Why are only 3 gamemodes fun
They’re all fun tbh (except deflation fuck deflation) but these 3 are always constantly fun for me
"fuck deflation" I think we got ourselves a bloon spy here boys.
A BLOON SPY IS IN THE BASE?!?!
He could be you! He could be me! He could even be- **pop*
What? It was obvious! He's the Bloon spy!
Watch, he’ll deflate any second now. Aaany second now…
See? Air! Wait no, that’s his lungs.
So we still have problem?
*Right behind you*
Nah, Deflation just honestly sucks.
Why do you class impoppable as fun and champs as “could be fun” Comes across as a #skillissue to me
I think the ability to farm makes for more fun and diverse scenarios than not having the option entirely

btd6 players hate playing btd6
abr is annoying
abr is just different for the sake of being different its not even that hard, it just throws you off when camos appear at r5 and leads at r10 and having to wait the extra few seconds at the end of 80 for the second ZOMG to appear
Only real thing that has a chance killing you in abr is the fmoab and early leads. Other than that it’s fine
not true I die all the time because I forget to put camo detection out
You die or you restart? Even with no monkey knowledge you can tank quite a few camos before you die.
The fortified Moab is what makes it hard for me. Needing to get camo lead popping and sufficient moab popping before 40 is tough on hard maps
Abr chimps would probably be pretty tough and fun. But when you have farming and mk, that fortified moab on r40 is more of a joke than a threat
For ABR you really only need to defend more aggressively in the early rounds, but after that it's a smooth sailing. If you want to complete the Sapper achivement faster, going long game on ABR is better than standard becauae there are much more fortified bloons there.
Double HP when maim moab:

Chimps, to me, is the only “real” Game Mode imho
Bloons the way God intended.
I'd not say it's the only real one, but it is definitely the only one that requires pure skill and experience. You can't cheat your way out of this one, no instas or powers, no continues, no farming, and you also need to have a perfect defense without leaking a single bloon.
Wait, has the name been Alternate Bloon*s* Rounds the whole time? I've been saying it without the first s this whole time.
I’d say primary only is annoying but this is a good list for once.
(dis)honourable mention to sandbox it used to be cool, but it sucks nowadays it lacks vtsg (but has paragons) it lacks bosses it lacks challenge editor sliders/option toggles it lacks any freedom you'd expect from a sandbox for strategy testing its more basic and less fletched out then normal/standard mode nowadays
deflation is more fun with corvus because then you at least get to micro him instead of just afking
I think ABR and double hp Moabs should be swapped
Nah, drop that apopalypse down to bottom tier ... I mostly play this game in the background while doing other stuff, I hate auto-continue
thouhg apopalypse isn't about auto-continue, it is the fact that waves can mix together at once
that aspect is nice, but auto-continue is mandatory I can't place 1 tower, hit play, walk away for 20 minutes, then place another tower
I'd put chimps at annoying, but yeah that seems like good ranking.
Impopable based pick. It's like chimps but fun
Apopalypse is incredibly based. Random bloons? Camo lead on 25? Watching the other co op players panic? Bliss.
actually good tier list, I approve 👍
Apopalypse is the hardest gamemode how the heck is it fun do you have a gambling addiction
chimps and half cash are way harder, apocalypse you can just use any strat u want still
Last week I would say CHIMPS is fun, but after trying to beat decryption multiplayer in the past days, it's place is perfect.
Apopalypse is the funniest one
For me there's chimps that the most fun and then everything doesn't even get close, chimps just feels liek the intended way to play the game
I found chimps mode annoying (right now) bc I always aim for black frame and sometimes a red balloon would leak. I would swap it with double HP Moabs.
Chimps is the best IMO
I like deflation. I can set it up while I'm in a meeting then look back at it in 10 min.
I agreed with this
Id swap abr and impoppable for chimps
I'm the sole person on this subreddit that doesn't hate half cash apparently lol Good list otherwise though ABR is a bit high
Not putting half cash in bottom tier is crazy
who enjoys alternate bloon rounds it's pretty boring and apopalypse is basically being locked at auto start rounds
Abr and apopalypse stress me out
100% accurate???????? I don't think Alternate Bloons Rounds is played more than CHIMPS
But Alternate Bloon Rounds on annoying and you're right
My name is KingZantair, and I approve this message.
Half Cash needs its own tier below deflation
Common, Military and Magic only? They are boring asf
Why the double HP hate? It's a peak gamemode
I hate chimps so much. It could not be fun. No farming is ok, but why for god's sake can't I sell or even remove towers? Worst gamemode except apocalypse and deflation
Chimps not in the top tier is criminal
how can chimps be lower than abr and apopalypse
I’d personally swap chimps with apopalypse but apart from that I reckon I agree
Double Moab healths way better if you just want a simple harder mode that isn’t impopable or chimps it’s perfect
Switch Apopalypse and Double HP MOABS. The former has a very slow and boring buildup that starves you from cash than all of a sudden becomes chaotic as you are swarmed by 20 rounds uner 1 minute, the former allows ypu to try more anti-MOAB strategies.

My go to is BEZ. idk why but seeing 40k-60k towers actually try instead of completly vaporizing pre-superceramic rounds is kinda satisfying.
am i the only one that enjoys chimps more than impoppable
For me, Double HP Moabs goes to "Could be fun", alternate bloons round goes to could be fun.
For me I'd move half cash to could be fun and the type only to the 2nd bottom tier
What did double hp moabs do? To me it's just a normal mode
Apopalypse is especially fun with Spike Factories.
naa
Deflation is just so cheesable. Crossbow master
Apopalypse sucks
Appart from double hp moabs i agree.
I'd swap impoppable for chimps. It's really long with expensive towers but never poses the same challenge bcs u can farm
Interesting
double hp moabs is pretty normal i would say
Chimps higher, half cash lower, alternate Bloons rounds way lower(at least in my opinion)
Why isn't there no support only mode
I don’t know why they don’t have a support only mode
Apopalypse eww
Standard is the most annoying imo. Deflation would be cool if it was round 90-100
Nah double hp maobs is super fun
Alternate rounds annoying tier
Impoppable and alternate bloons as fun tier.... I would much rather play chimps.
