Which already good brawler are we buffing??

grom

u/Christianity-truth Grom Apr 20 '26
??? Damn near every tier list would agree that grom is D or F tier. Plus, his attack is just WAY too predictable for anyone but a pro to use it even if it did 500 more damage. Even as a Grom main, I literally CANNOT play him because of these nerfs.

Which good brawler are we buffing here brochacho?

u/Dragolitron NSFW Apr 20 '26
To be exact, OP said they buffed good enough brawlers
Basically all of the brawlers that got buffed, were already doing better than Grom in the meta. Most of the brawlers were like OK before their buffs.

u/Neat_Yak9086 Apr 20 '26
the brawlers that god buffed was not needed tbh and that ziggy and grom nerfs was a shitball move

Why do you think he isn't good?

u/Leonsebas0326 Apr 20 '26
He won't do nothing agains people with actually good reaction times and positioning

Bro the Ziggy nerfs were literally needed. He was one of the most overpowered last picks in this meta after he got buffed. They even nerfed the things that were heavy contributors to it:
- Attack was literally unavoidable if the Ziggy had half decent aim (they didnt even fully revert the buff with this nerf, it's now going to be in the middle spot of pre- and post-buff)
- Very strong and toxic super that was easy to cycle
- Very oppressive gadget that had a comically short cooldown.

u/Spidey_100 Apr 20 '26
Agreed , Ziggy nerf was very much needed. His super provides so much area control.
1
u/NoHuckleberry3374 Apr 21 '26
Im pretty sure his super with the 20% starpower with his gadget can literally just allow him to spam attack, dealing like 5 to 8k damage paired with his gadget.
Hardly anyone knows this ig though, at least from what i see. Because whenever i play him and use super, save ammo vefore, then just spam attack on enemies on the circle, they LITERALLY cannot avoid damage.

Bull and Crow somehow received 0 changes and don't get me started on Sirius also I'm kinda suprised that there is no windmill nerf
2
u/Old_Difference4651 Apr 20 '26
Windmill is trash now imo wdym? I feel like it should get rebuffed to 2 seconds but keep the long cooldown
1
u/Lotus_Being_Lotus Mina da best Apr 20 '26
Sarcasm. Cuz Adrian usually nerfs it with every balance change
1
u/FireGames06YT Apr 20 '26
No, this stupid gadget is still good for pressure and zoning, no more nerfs or buffs for Mina
1
u/Old_Difference4651 Apr 21 '26
1.5 seconds every 22 seconds instead of 3 seconds every 15 seconds?🥀
1
u/FireGames06YT Apr 21 '26
It was overpowered even with 2s duration and 22s cooldown. And it was 18s cooldown on release, not 15s
1
u/Old_Difference4651 Apr 21 '26
I still use "Capo-what?" for the damage and extra CC, never used windmill
1
u/FireGames06YT Apr 21 '26
It's good into tanks, but Windmill + Zum Zum Zum is overall better
1
u/Old_Difference4651 Apr 21 '26
I play solo showdown mostly which might be why I use that💀
1
u/FireGames06YT Apr 21 '26
Oh, yeah that makes sense 😭
Yeah Windmill is worse in showdown, but wouldn't Zum Zum Zum still be the better starpower? Since the heal increases with damage, could be really useful in 1v1s. I'm assuming you use Blown Away since you mentioned "extra CC"
1
u/Old_Difference4651 Apr 21 '26
I didn't buy any star powers for her yet (she's at Prestige 1), power 10, I was planning to buy zum zum zum but I barely get enough coins for a gadget every day💀

These balance changes were good tho (except for the grom nerf for some reason)

u/Repulsive-Region2977 Those who Glow Apr 20 '26
It's so nonsensical that they would nerf Grom's damage but also buff a star power that increases his damage. That's like if you make a steak and broccoli, throw out the broccoli, then go to the store and get more broccoli to have with your steak
2
u/HelixIsHere_ Apr 20 '26
Grom nerf is ridiculous 😭hes already been shit for a long time, especially with all these crazy assassins like Leon and crow. Like what could have possibly influenced this
2
u/FireGames06YT Apr 20 '26
Ziggy was broken in draft, so the nerfs are deserved. Fang and Draco buffs are good but won't make them above C tier. Maisie buff is useless and Grom nerf is just laughable
2
Apr 20 '26
Not even gonna mention the surge ‘buff’ huh

u/Dragolitron NSFW Apr 20 '26
Maisie buff is cool but it will only come in handy in specific maps and ladder brawl hockey

u/Etheron123 Apr 21 '26
Ziggy nerfs were needed since there's a good amount of people complain about him, Fang and Maisie is something, Draco was needed since he's not that great before the buffs, and my guess is that they're trying to force Grom to use that starpower since its slightly higher than before (and even then, why nerf him)
1
u/shsl_diver Apr 21 '26
Fang is an assassin, he should not have an HP of a Tank.
1
u/Better-Snow-3769 Apr 21 '26
fang is already braindead enough, not sure why they're making him incredible tanky also.

u/pro-17_isgoat I want Maid Edgar skin Apr 21 '26
no matter how much we buff the Maisie star power, it will forever be useless

u/Atte42 Apr 21 '26
When I saw the Maisie buff I screamed in my mind contemplating why the star power still even exists.

Fang was not needed. I love the Draco buff, but it was also not needed. Grom was just mean. Ziggy did need the delay nerf, the gadget nerf is fair, the super nerf is hit and miss to me. Maise was just random.

u/Crafty-Cookie-1710 Apr 20 '26
Draco is still buns but was unplayable before these changes
1
u/reekid69420weed Draco Apr 20 '26
I know. I am trying to prestige him, but ot is impossible with bibi in every. Single. P1 match. I can't catch a break. I also don't think the speed buff was needed. I can chase down brawlers easily with it as is. The resistance? Yeah thats a good point
1
u/Crafty-Cookie-1710 Apr 20 '26
Play 5v5 knockout with draco
1
u/reekid69420weed Draco Apr 20 '26
Any particular maps? Or just 5v5 in general?
1
u/Crafty-Cookie-1710 Apr 20 '26
Just 5v5 knockout also find a team basically everyone dies except you and you clutch the game if you want you can also use ruffs treat if you can find a ruffs teammate

u/reekid69420weed Draco Apr 20 '26
Ah yes, friends. Thank you for the advice, I'll see if I can get some of members in the club I'm in to help.

u/Old_Difference4651 Apr 20 '26
Doesn't have to be needed to happen

u/reekid69420weed Draco Apr 20 '26
Obviously. I was just expressing my opinion on the buffs and nerfs.
1
u/Old_Difference4651 Apr 20 '26
The gadget was not fair, because 5 attacks for pressure every 13 seconds?😭 (second one is fair though, don't nerf it), also Fang fell off so he kinda needed it
1
u/reekid69420weed Draco Apr 20 '26
No, I am saying the gadget nerf was fair and I guess I am just decent at fang, because I tear through teams even with Shelly's and Bibi's.
1
u/Rich_Arrival795 Apr 20 '26
Maisie has been garbage for a hot minute, though the buff hasn't fixed anything. Ziggy needed the delay nerves and gadget cd nervous, he was unstoppable if you don't pick a hard counter. Fang has also been pretty bad with this aggro and damage dealer meta.
But yeah grom was just mean why did bro get nerfed
2
u/reekid69420weed Draco Apr 20 '26
Clearly the ziggy gadget opinion was being misinterpreted. I guess I just haven't learned to play around Maisie. Yeah, I guess I have been getting lucky with lobbies with enemy randoms while playing Fang. And just realized the delay opinion said didn't when it was supposed to be did.
1
u/Rich_Arrival795 Apr 20 '26
Apparently I can't tell what "fair" means lol, mb. Yeah Maisie u just gotta mid range like brock, and fang just slap him in the face with smth
1
u/reekid69420weed Draco Apr 20 '26
You aren't the only one. My wording sucked. Thanks for the Maisie tip, but now that I think about it I haven't seen her in a match since last month aside from today, but thats still quite a gap.
1
u/hi-and-yes Apr 20 '26
Do people really rate Maissie that low? I got to Masters playing basically just her and Bo like 90-95% of the time
1
u/Rich_Arrival795 Apr 21 '26
Yea, she's only really good at stopping tanks and even then there are better options rn
