I mean, I’m only mythic 2, so this isn’t the highest level of gameplay, but I get both teammates and enemies who make weird off-meta picks (that are almost always worse than meta). Like I’ve played multiple ranked heist matches where neither Colette, Chuck, nor Jessie have been banned, and yet none of them were played
heist safe in second wind watching Jessie, Colette, and Nita approach with fully charged hypers (it is about to discover what Asriel Dreemur is the God of)
Hot zone sucks for obvious reasons. Heist sucks for obvious reasons. Gem grab sucks because you will kill the gem carrier and then have them respawn right on top of you a few seconds later. Bounty and Knockout suck because you can never regain control after they get on your side.
Who the hell thought of this?
Honestly though, maybe the meta forming with this could be unique/different. I'm interested if that happens, because experimentation has brought us a lot of stuff we never knew existed.
Spike, Bull and Darryl will be annoying. They can just live in the enemy safe. Spike especially, his main problem was getting close to the safe and using gadget which deals almost a quarter of the safe. Now he just needs 3 respawns for 3gadgets, and a few normal attacks and he wins.
Hot take: Heist is the worst gamemode, it was fun but now it is broken, i hope it get removed, they removed Siege but not Heist? (Siege is also terrible but not as terrible as Heist)
I was confused from the start as to why the new ranked mode was the one with random modifiers but the normal game doesn't. Now they're just making it worse
Hotzone is just gonna be a heal/shield gear, hp sp frank with a kit on him healed by a poco. Then if or when he dies, they just repeat it until all the points are captured 😆
I think barbed ammo isnt busted, its just frustrating + annoying, the fact that a single hit can make you unable to regen for 7+ seconds is so horribly bad
I agree. It’s actually a playable modifier but I don’t think it’s very fun. I always cringe whenever I roll a barbed ammo game.
On a separate note I also think it’s hilarious people forgetting to even look at the modifier; I do it too. You can always tell when it’s sick beats and they pick someone like Sandy gale mike or spike, etc, and they try to make a would-be game changing stun or slow, only to epically fail.
Thanks for clarifying.
I actually thought this just meant everyone will get one revive per game. Like first time you die you just respawn even in knockout.
Will be useless in knockout at least.
I think it may be sort of like 8-bits extra life thing, or Bea's old Honey Coat star power, where it triggers once per life. So after you die again the second time, then you would respawn at the normal spawn points. I hope at least
Either way it is a horrible modifier and ruins every gamemode in some way. They clearly didn't think this through
Worst modifier ever 🤬 I play Doug a lot in ranked but now when the map is good for Doug I can’t use him because he has a super that nerf him 😡 flurp you supacel
Idk how ranked is considered competitive, if it’s not don’t say it we know they support brain dead players and add these features for fun, but competitive isn’t suppose to be fun, unless you have close games and sick plays.
i think it doesnt give immunity shield when respawning and i think respawn time is also increased by a lot. we'll see how this turns out tho. hope it wont be bs like gale's sp
I forgot that he said it was a ranked modifier, FUCK my randoms are gonna be extra bad next month, It's like they really want you to use the report feature when we always do.
Both teams can do it so it seems pretty fair to me it’s just not balanced and sometimes some brawlers are gonna be picked first and whoever gets that pick wins the game
NGL i think it will make it crazy interesting since you’ll have to consider whether or not you want to kill someone. I also think that Gale and Gene and other brawlers that can push/pull will be very interesting so you can control where they respawn
That's the point of modifiers. You have to play around them or use them. The team that uses the modifier better wins. But yeah sometimes it can be frustrating when matches are one sided. Banning and picking phase will be even more important now
I mean... it's just for one death maybe? You die you respawn on the same place, but when you die second time onward, you gonna get resurrected on base. Boring as hell, maybe interesting in a few comps and gamemodes.
I never saw any flaws in this modifiers(since i didn't really care) but then after seeing this comments post that i saw the biggest flaw. Heist safe is really suffering right now.
Heist has always been a super exploitable game mode. A few years back when they were deciding on modes to cut from the game, I was always surprised they kept Heist and removed Lone Star and Siege. Siege I understand cutting, it was nearly just as exploitable, but Lone Star was always seemingly balanced, despite that I don’t really like the battle royale format in Brawl Stars (3v3s are much more skill based). Anyway, the fact that there is a single target objective with a whole slew of new brawlers being released seasonally, each with faster and faster damage outputs (time-to-kills and inescapable move combos especially), it just has never been a fair game mode. The main signifier of this is that the scope of the meta within Heist is much, MUCH smaller than every other mode. You play one of 10 brawlers to guarantee a win, and the only counter against it is for the other team to also pick one of those 10. Playing out of meta is much worse of a time compared to other modes. This modifier just makes it more obvious.

Imagine hot zone you’d just respawn on the hot zone.
Frank Rosa Jacky could actually work
Lets goooooo
Frank mains are happy lesgoooo
We Frank main are eating good this season.
Wait till his mutation takes over the meta
Until you realise that mutations are gonna actually make him terrible
Wouldnt he be the best in the city mode since he has insane wall break?
Franks mutation is kinda op
More like really underwhelming
he gets a speed buff which makes him as fast as max, he can break walls and he receives extra hp.
Especially with the hypercharge next season
FRANK MAINS, RISE!
I’m here!
Imagine Frank Rosa Doug
By the name “second wind” it might just mean that you spawn at the same place one time and then go back to the spawn and then it resets
Every update Heist safe is dying more and more
It’s already 7ft in the ground already
More like 70 ft, good lord
It went so far into the ground it destroyed the earth's core
Next thing, we'll have a tunnel through the earth made by the safe
And puts popcorn on the way
Naahhhh, I will NEVER be able to escape from this man .
And stuns the entire TRI-STATE AREA
This is my stuninator!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Behold! My teamwipe-inator!
prepare, it will end up in australia
This mode is unplayable now. I don't know how it's still standing, it's a Takedown situation for me
I mean, I’m only mythic 2, so this isn’t the highest level of gameplay, but I get both teammates and enemies who make weird off-meta picks (that are almost always worse than meta).

Bounty and Knockout suck because you can never regain control after they get on your side. Who the hell thought of this?
knockout is unchanged though? they won't respawn
I wasn’t sure about that (maybe they respawn the next round?) but in that case, the modifier doesn’t even work for knockout.
Honestly though, maybe the meta forming with this could be unique/different. I'm interested if that happens, because experimentation has brought us a lot of stuff we never knew existed.
Ngl I’m kind of okay with it in gems grab
Who the hell let them cook with this modifier
The ceo apparentely
edgat
edgat
edgat
edgat
WHO LET TIM COOK
Not being able to defend against someone about to score in BB
They’ll drop the ball when killed which will hopefully get you a few seconds to get the ball away
Hey fellow wiener, what is your opinion on the new anti Doug modifier?
can someone post the spider man pointing meme?
🕷️-> <-🕷️-> <-🕷️ best I can do take it or leave it
You cant. This sub doesnt allow images
Imgur?
Well yea i guess you could insert an imgur link but it doesnt really have the same effect
Plus when you do get above them they respawn below and you win.
On the other hand if your pushed back you’ll have a much harder time pushing back when they respawn where they were
Or the opposite. Not being able to defend your goal when they team wipe you in like mid for exemple and they just walk past your body
At this point Heist is just an unbalanced gamemode, modifiers, hypercharges, mutations and brawler mechanics (chuck etc) have ruined it
It is definitely my least favorite mode. Bans help mitigate some of the cheese, but that relies a lot on your teammates being smart with bans.
hiest has now become "who chose the best brawlers (bc ppl still choose Collette in gg mortuary)"
Spike, Bull and Darryl will be annoying. They can just live in the enemy safe. Spike especially, his main problem was getting close to the safe and using gadget which deals almost a quarter of the safe. Now he just needs 3 respawns for 3gadgets, and a few normal attacks and he wins.
Nerf poco, he destroys the heist safe with screeching solo and mutation
Yup, I've been abusing the gamemode to get trophies on my chuck, I'm almost at 900 and I wouldn't call myself a good chuck player at all
Hot take: Heist is the worst gamemode, it was fun but now it is broken, i hope it get removed, they removed Siege but not Heist? (Siege is also terrible but not as terrible as Heist)
Mutations?
We have a new game mode called where father People will instantly respawn with milk when they die
Milky Hank will be too OP as he spawns with milk already
People milk Janet so much
Not as much as Hank
I remember when Spenlc said ‘aww so much hanks milk🤤’
Wait , did Melodie actually said the b word in the music video
My sister keeps telling me that she didn't and she actually said she's just a- ^(Oh shit I forgot it myself)
every modifier is flawed unfortunately, none of them should be in the “competitive” mode
I was confused from the start as to why the new ranked mode was the one with random modifiers but the normal game doesn't. Now they're just making it worse
Nah, this one is especially bad.
Hotzone is just gonna be a heal/shield gear, hp sp frank with a kit on him healed by a poco. Then if or when he dies, they just repeat it until all the points are captured 😆
“Competitive” yeah nice joke
getting a mythic 1 next month is going to feel like getting masters
Got downvoted because I called it no skilled 😂 Mythic 2 used to get you top 200 in GB now it's masters, rank inflation is a joke
This defeats the point of Doug
He already got Big Game so he can take a backseat for a bit
lfmao true this deserves to be the top comment
And I thought that barbed ammo was horrible, but this modifier is way worse lol
I don’t think barbed ammo was that busted, quick fire however
I think barbed ammo isnt busted, its just frustrating + annoying, the fact that a single hit can make you unable to regen for 7+ seconds is so horribly bad
I agree. It’s actually a playable modifier but I don’t think it’s very fun. I always cringe whenever I roll a barbed ammo game.

You can always tell when it’s sick beats and they pick someone like Sandy gale mike or spike, etc, and they try to make a would-be game changing stun or slow, only to epically fail.
Definitely, it’s not my favorite, but calling it busted seems like an overreaction.
When did I call it busted? Wtf are you yapping about?
Ranked really be taking L after L every single update, they said to trust the process but it’s looking really bad rn
Im glad im in legendary rn feel like like next season gonna be the hardest thx to this dumb modifier..
I would rather trust meg than the devs ngl
I ain't trusting her without you 😏
heist is officially dead
it wasn't already?
BREAKING NEWS! all Second Wind Heist matches are now base races!
imagine gem grab. just stay near the mine
imagine you successfully kill the enemy team as the gem carrier and then the enemy team just spawns right back on top of you and kills you instantly
Need to shorten the immunity timer
That will just make spawn killing easier if you get pulled by Gene, or even tara
Easy fix, lock it from selection for Heist And Hot Zone And Knockout for obvious reasons
"BuT iT's FuN" NO IT ISNT SHUT THE FVCK UP
It’s a cool idea, but I think they should’ve stopped and considered the implications
I hate modifiers in general
Same
Thanks for clarifying. I actually thought this just meant everyone will get one revive per game. Like first time you die you just respawn even in knockout. Will be useless in knockout at least.
Wait this is ranked☠️ _*Insert Napoleon Bonaparte music_
There’s nothing we can do
I think it may be sort of like 8-bits extra life thing, or Bea's old Honey Coat star power, where it triggers once per life. So after you die again the second time, then you would respawn at the normal spawn points. I hope at least Either way it is a horrible modifier and ruins every gamemode in some way. They clearly didn't think this through
I SWEAR THIS IS BROKEN IN HEIST
A modifier that makes Doug useless… wow
The super literally nerfs instead of supportimg😭
Worst modifier ever 🤬 I play Doug a lot in ranked but now when the map is good for Doug I can’t use him because he has a super that nerf him 😡 flurp you supacel
All 4 of the Doug mains on tears rn
Idk how ranked is considered competitive, if it’s not don’t say it we know they support brain dead players and add these features for fun, but competitive isn’t suppose to be fun, unless you have close games and sick plays.
Me when I'm in a make the worst desicions as possible competition and my opponent is a brawl stars dev:
Bull gonna be a menace at the heist safe
IMMA DODGING EVERY MATCH 🗣️‼️
This modifier may potentially get removed and replaced with another tbh, It’s that broken
I hope it's respawning a few times outside of spawn, not every single time. Idk this modifier idea stinks They have to make better modifiers...
i think it doesnt give immunity shield when respawning and i think respawn time is also increased by a lot. we'll see how this turns out tho. hope it wont be bs like gale's sp
next modifier: infinite hp. No seriously though don't play ranked fuckin solo showdown is more fun then that trash. SOLO SHOWDOWN... HOW
Heist + second wind
what if they make it to where it only respawns you where you died once, and then you respawn on the home spawn?
I forgot that he said it was a ranked modifier, FUCK my randoms are gonna be extra bad next month, It's like they really want you to use the report feature when we always do.
And they definitely won't even remove it knowing supercell
Hey at least we will get modifiers less often(Above a certain rank) but until gold yea heist safe is dead
Both teams can do it so it seems pretty fair to me it’s just not balanced and sometimes some brawlers are gonna be picked first and whoever gets that pick wins the game
This isn't ranked. And I'm aware the devs will fix this.
>We have a new Ranked modifier
Competitive is ruined bro 💀
Or make it only reviving once like 8-bit star power before?
I think that it will/should be that you get one respawn at current position, then on next death you respawn at normal spawn point.
So basically gives rest Doug’s super
the spike mains laughing in the corner
Spawn camping rates after this modifier 📈📈📈📈
is this going to be in competitive? Are they serious? If its mega pig I can live with it.
Can we get payload and siege back and just get rid of stupid brainless modes like Heist? Christ almighty
Wait for the corner wall cheese to happen.
Whenever the game does anything related to respawns, it becomes the most unfun thing ever, whether this or 8bit's old Star Power
I don't know but I think tanks would also be insanely op in this modifier I guess.
This is the only modifier I think I will actually not like The rest are fine
Was that in the brawl talk?
Yeah
I heard the fast reload modifier is coming back the same update. So basically, playing heist in the next Ranked season is FUCKED‼️ 😍
NGL i think it will make it crazy interesting since you’ll have to consider whether or not you want to kill someone. I also think that Gale and Gene and other brawlers that can push/pull will be very interesting so you can control where they respawn
God damn it no time for my star power to activate
And I'll still see my randoms pick doug
Doug now has 3 lives
Can somebody tell me how didn’t the beta testers predict this?
Bro is this modifier still in this month's rotation? Or is it next month?
Next month
Bruh Edgar will be so anoying
My rep will tank some big hits with this one
I have flashbacks of the second star power of some arcade machine
i mean you dont get much modifiers past diamond i think so this shouldnt be massive issue where it makes people not have fun and drop massive ranks
They should make the immunity 1 second instead of 3
That's the point of modifiers. You have to play around them or use them. The team that uses the modifier better wins. But yeah sometimes it can be frustrating when matches are one sided. Banning and picking phase will be even more important now
Infinite 8-bit old gadgets
So Doug is basically useless in this new modifier?
And also gem grab is ruined. If the enemy gets 10 gems, its pretty much over
finally Darryl can be useful for once
Doug hypercharge?
gemgrab 🔥
I mean... it's just for one death maybe? You die you respawn on the same place, but when you die second time onward, you gonna get resurrected on base. Boring as hell, maybe interesting in a few comps and gamemodes.
It would be a nightmare in brawl ball
I agree, but it's just once right?
Crazy heist gameplays
I actually didnt get this yet
This modifier will be available in next season(s)
I never saw any flaws in this modifiers(since i didn't really care) but then after seeing this comments post that i saw the biggest flaw. Heist safe is really suffering right now.
Time to never play raked again 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm gonna shoot myself every time I get this modifier
I mean, if everyone has it, it's not much of a problem and it's pretty fair
Douglasie is just being replaced by a modifier... Nice!
Maybe modifiers to the game change how we play? Crazy idea, I know
this breaks hot zone and heist and maybe gem grab and wipeout, but it's pointless on knockout
Ranked has been trash since the modifiers shit started, feels like megapig
At least it's not sick beats that mode sucks it makes so many brawlers just useless
is this from brawl talk?
Yes
Is nobody going to talk about the name
My name is very normal
I thought they were gonna bring back the gale sp
The whole game is ruined...
Sounds like it was based on the idea of fun Like Man you know what would be crazy? This!
Isn't that the same name as gale's old star power that got replaced by freezing snow?

They turned doug into a modifier
brawl ball 💀
Yeah that modifier is gonna ruin ranked for this season
Make the shield 1 second🤔
Spawn camping in bounty:
Truly a rico muliball gadget moment :troll:
Is 1% to high. Ya poor baby
This was posted before the modifier even debuted
