    I’ve lived with rico as my main ever since gadgets weren’t even a thing, and i’ve watched many brawlers go in and out of the meta, and i’ve always viewed rico as a saving grace with how he was almost always on the S or A tier in terms of skill. Which is why he’ve always been my main.
    Ever since this year started, the skill-aspect of this game has plummeted beyond recognition, and my main was not spared with hypercharge, the mutations, and now even the spongebob collab, and now, even tho he was always my most fun brawler, he no longer feels different than any less skilled brawler, and so with how ridiculous every meta is from the last, and my main losing his shine in my eyes, I’ve decided to finally quit this game until supercell pays respect to the competitive side of it and actually acknowledges and maintains skillful brawlers, and stop focusing attention on the new comers who will soon become like us and find that the game’s balancing is horrible as of now.

    I hate the balancing in this game. Rico has become the most fucking frustrating brawler I have ever faced. If he shoots down a lane it permanently becomes blocked off (very fast reload, reload gear, bounces etc). It is impossible to kill him, assassins get one shot by his gadget, tanks get melted or feed super and sharp shooters have it slightly better as some outrange him, but if theres walls… yeah. I hate him.

      @@Director_Oompaloompa yeah and you know now that you say it, this game has some problems with changing anything but the main issue with broken brawlers
      take for example Buster and Hank. Buster was really broken when he came out as we know, and they nerfed everything about him, his health, his super, his shield star power, his damage, but at the moment they didn't nerf his attraction gadget, probably the most op thing about him with his damage that in fact was buffed not so long ago. Hank was broken because some bugs with his damage when he had 8-Bit's and Ruffs buffs, besides that, he was strong on closed maps but you could counter him, but nah, let's nerf EVERYTHING about him and make him pretty much useless, oh and also we removed the bug, ain't that funny?
      other examples that I can think about are Nani (her buff to her damage maked her really strong but they nerfed her health), Fang (his buffed cycle with his super is what maked him insufferable and absurdly easy to kill teams, let's nerf anything but that), and Larry and Lawrie (nerf everything but his double basic attack that guarantees the double hit even when it shouldn't AND doesn't care about the range, unlike Grom or Sprout for example, meaning that you can defend yourself pretty good to aggresive plays. that's why even with the amount of nerfs they are still a top tier brawler)

    I've been thinking this for a while but it's curious how brawlers like Rico, Colt, Dynamike or Piper used to be considered like really difficult brawlers to master, but now with these balance changes clearly appealing to the more casual players they are hated and no-skill brawlers. Been playing BS since global and I remember the days when Dyna had such a slow attack and Piper didn't deal that amount of dmg at short range, so everybody thought that these were the high-skill brawlers lol, and ofc Rico's gadget wasn't boosted so almost nobody played him. Things change a lot

      I think it was more so the devs tuning down these brawler's weaknesses rather than them trying to remove the skill from them.
      I know for a fact that this is what happened to Dynamike. They tried basically everything to make him a good brawler, from increasing his movement speed to giving him an unbelievably broken gadget. Since they couldn't make Dyna good from buffing his strengths they had to nullify his weaknesses which is exactly what happened.
      Also they never buffed Piper's minimum damage. In fact, it's only been nerfed since the time she's released, and both the times it's been nerfed was within 6 months ago. What happened was that people realized just how broken her Auto-Aimer gadget was, and how it nullifies her lower damage at closer range weakness. And lowkey I think Piper was never high skill to begin with. Piper just had well defined weaknesses which made it seem like it required tons of skill to play around them.

      @@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569 oh that's an interesting point of view, makes sense tho, I guess it was kind of a coincidence that a lot of these brawlers that were buffed also were considered by a lot of players as "high-skill" before yk. Dynamike back then was reaaally bad and was too hard to do anything with him so makes sense that they just wanted to remove his weaknesses, and you know, Dyna isn't even broken (besides the stun gadget which idk why they haven't nerfed yet), so it kinda works for the balance
      and with Piper I do believe that her dmg was buffed but as a whole, and that maked her short range do more dmg until it was nerfed like you say, but I don't really remember too well how it was back then, maybe it was mostly job of her gadget as you say. also I agree, the only skill that Piper ever had was knowing how to aim and like, that's not really a special thing lol

    @aldenstromberg7273 2 дня назад +30

    yess thumbnail alone i know that this is exactly my opinion on rico (therefore correct :) )
    btw if you play griff with heal star power, you can actually reliably counter a rico whos already set up on split hotzone map
    since you heal you can tank more than most other rangers, griffs attack is easier to hit in an open area than ricos, and you can break open walls
    but the main reason i say griff can counter rico here is bc even without breaking walls, by timing the healing right you can literally just walk up through ricos projectiles. let them hit you before they bounce to take less damage
    this doesnt work with tanks bc they continue getting hit once theyre around the corner, so they get supered and die, but griff can start fighting back immediately once around the corner and with the regen you only need to dodge half decently to win the 1v1

  • @aldenstromberg7273
    @aldenstromberg7273 2 дня назад +9

    second comment i have another theory for why rico is noskill now
    his projectiles are too wide and they have too much innacuracy
    if you look carefully, his attack isnt really the same as colt, its more like thin pam. the projectiles come out at a bunch of different angles, so even if you mess up the trigonometry, the attack correct it for you and a few projectiles will still go where you want
    this makes it so the only skillful part of rico, isnt even skillful
    additionally, this makes rico much more frustrating to play against, because even if you do the angles to find EXACTLY where ricos projectiles would go, you physically cant dodge in the gaps because the projectiles are wide and the angle are varied in such a way that its impossible to not get hit
    the way he does damage right now is like colt level damage but easier to hit, which is why all the bad randoms seem to have suddenly picked up rico, hes just easy mode colt with even more possible damage output, less aiming, and better surivability
    tbh i dont get why supercell wants to give every brawler in the game an entirely self sufficient kit. whats the point of a team comp if everyone in the game is a damage dealer anti assassin with some way of securing kills?
    look at berry, why does a thrower have 2 escape options ON TOP of being really good?
    whats ricos weakness? hes weak to assassins and being outranged, and a lot of the time outranging isnt an option so giving rico an anti assassin gadget makes him just uncounterable
    look at larry too, hes a thrower whos main attack is STILL too good, but also has anti assassin capabilities too? like why?
    and there was charlie who was an anti tank, but on release she also had the range to handle snipers? like why?
    and darryl whos whole thing is 'dont let him near you or youre friggin dead' and then they gave him the ability to get all the way up to snipers with a 50% damage reduction while doing so.
    and then kit whos supposed to be an assassin, but has such a high super charge rate that he can even kill tanks in 1v1s
    and clancy who does a lot of damage, but they decided to also give movement speed so he could also counter snipers???
    they got in a habit of just making everyone counter everything and its the real reason theres no skill anymore
    everyone does too much damage

  • @sluggknight7130
    @sluggknight7130 2 дня назад +7

    at first rico does need skill to use and especially so when trying to master him. The problem is precisely what you mentioned he has several haha button go brrr (skilless) options and like I said in a previus comment, supercell's care for gadget balance and now with hypercharge balance (seriusly, what were they thinking tith mortis???). Too many brawlers have a free kill/get out of jail free options (mainly with gadgets). I remember when I first saw rico's ability to fully recharge his super in 2018 if he hit his entire super, suddenly making him a damage demon. This though, required careful positioning and bouncing. After his 2nd star power came out this made it so that he could still do that without walls, out manouvering the opponent (aka good movement) was needed instead. This was part of his balance, rico can only sustain high damage through cicleing supers, one of the problems is that nowadays it is too easy to do so on maps that favor him
    on a different note, in a previus video of yours you briefly mentioned damage inflation wich got me thinking, that is absolutely true. With the two biggest examples gene and mortis
    gene before had VERY low damage, barely being able to 3-shot low hp brawlers. He was a brawler that practically required teamwork to be played at its best. Today, with his hypercharge, 2nd star power super and 3 ammo he is just barely not able to kill a full hp darryl.
    mortis, until recently, needed not high skill, but high gamesense and intuition. while playing mortis you had to keep in mind several things: 1. have at least 50% super at all times, 2. hit as many enemies as posible with the super to not only charge it faster but heal more, 3. only engage in a fight if you know you'll be able to confirm a kill or stay alive.
    Without super it was hard to get kills due to middleing damage and slow reload speed. Essentially, when fighting, mortis is carried by his super so to play him optimally you need to keep those things in mind.
    recently however, most of that has been thrown out the window. Now you equip the mythic gear, and your entire gameplan is to get the hypercharge. It doesn't matter if you die or not as long as you get some charge. Then, when i'ts ready, you click the purple button, then the yellow button and poof! you have "earned" yourself a teamwipe.
    a high skill, oportunistic brawler with middleing damage, turns into a teamwipe machine due to a button (with 3 ammo and super) from 7800 damage to 12000

      It’s not really a paradox, it’s just a case study of horrible game balancing because the devs dont actually play the game. Balance changes often dont address the parts of brawlers that actually need balancing so very often the changes the devs make will cause more problems than they fix. Its more fun to play “skilled” brawlers like Hank, Sam, Stu, Bonnie etc because they have dynamic kits. In the current meta the best brawlers also have incredibly boring kits and the optimal way to play them is incredibly boring. Winning with gale, piper, angelo, meg, etc is not fun because if you play them as intended it is just not fun for anyone involved.

      if there were no counter gadgets to assasins then all of them would be hella broken and toxic, it's nice to have some form of counter but definitely not stupid ones like rico and Piper gadgets which make them untouchable

      ​@mickysaif Then just make assassins get Super slower and nerf/rework all anti-assassin gadgets. I legit cannot counter the brawler I'm supposed to counter because his funni green button is a counter to his counters. Like what? So now he counters his counters? What kinda balancing is that? Dude is invincible.

      ​@@mickysaifi do agree, but there are some brawlers who simply do not deserve those gadgets.
      Take berry for example, mf is a support brawler and has a way to push people back with a gadget, completely defying how support brawlers work in their core
      Support brawlers should be able to only really thrive in a 2v1 setting, while being less than spectacular in 1v1s
      So it doesnt really make sense that those brawlers just have some sort of asspull to easily get out of 1v1 situations like an assassin coming towards them, which they're supposed to be weak in.
      These pushback gadgets just ruin the gimmicks of alot of brawlers
      Their playstyle is disrupted because no matter what, you'll be able to push back any assassin coming towards you with 0 skill involved

    I started playing Rico before global release, I always picked him over Colt because of his ability to bounce. I used him so much that I could not aim/hit anyone by normal shooting, instead I had to use the bouncing gimmick to even kill. I was so happy I got the bouncy star power from a brawl box.
    I don't see many Rico players back then, but now its so common that I don't feel like playing him as much.

    I think what's the biggest problem in brawl stars right now are the damage inflation and damage dealers in general. All of them can be versatile any mode any map because of their annoying amount of damage I mean why do we need skill when we can just spam buttons and supers to win? That's why I think damage dealers are by far more over powered than assasins

  • @coolmike1539
    @coolmike1539 2 дня назад +10

    I started playing Rico when the sovereign skins came out, and he is skilled and also no skill. If and Edgar or el primo super into you, your gadget (from my experience) has a 50/50 chance of saving you, due to el primo having much more hp than Rico, and Edgar being able to heal himself. The gadget can also be used to get extra damage in when trying to kill someone. For example, your opponent is to Rico’s top right, and begins trying to run behind a wall. Popping the gadget can do the extra bit of damage that Rico’s main attack couldn’t dish out to finish the opponent, however, this is VERY situational and I’ve done it like twice. Rico requires a lot of understanding of each map to play properly, as some maps don’t have an insane amount of wall for him to bounce his shots off of, forcing Rico to be able to attack like colt and ricochet his shots when he gets the chance. Rico also depends on the team comps, which many other brawlers also depend on. If Rico is going against a surge, el primo, and Edgar, and his teammates are Brock and piper, you will probably get slammed. But if Rico is playing against brock, piper, and a tank like el primo or frank, Rico has a lot more leniency in his playstyle, because the Brock and piper HAVE to hit their shots or else Rico can easily melt them, and the el primo or frank, as long as they don’t get on top of Rico, and be slowly pieced up from a safe distance. In conclusion, if a rico understands maps, can hit opponents with most of his attack, and knows how to not run into his death, then he can be insanely overpowered and a massive threat to any team, unless his teammates have the brain power of an Edgar main.

    If it weren't for the hypercharge skins, people wouldn't be so tempted to grind free trophies with Rico's get out of jail free cards. I Agree that Multiball launcher is broken, but Rico has always been broken. I've been a Rico main since Brawl Stars went global, and it hurts to watch my fav brawlers go either to waste or unskillful. Darryl, Ash, and (ofc) Rico are my favorite brawlers ever. But because of the Hypercharge and Gadget. I can no longer say with confidence that I am a Rico main.

  • @JohnnyCage12
    @JohnnyCage12 День назад +1

    i hate the fact that there's so manyyy gadget nowadays with "get out of jail" card and it's mostly on the high skilled brawlers like rico and piper, i know amber is too but she's easy to play but from the buff she got on dancing flames couple of updates ago made her counter her counters literally. (not to mention it had a bug that is still in the game today where you can easily trigger 3x of its damage to enemy on top of you). it's nerfed twice now but is still pretty viable to the point where it's still ambers better gadget, i'd even debate that if she doesn't have the super reload star power the first gadget will literally never recover because it will be outclassed by dancing flames even if they nerfed it's damage close to original like 1500. my point is that this game is getting plagued with no skill changes and more and more get out of jail things had been added recently, i mean look at draco's broken gadget and berry's copy of genes gadget that already has a 50 variants from other brawlers like emz. it's annoying because if high skill brawlers continues to get these things they will literally just be op on competitive because high skill players already know how to play them or competitive players will lose their incentive to play the brawler because the high skill aspect of the brawler us what making them challenging and fun for them or be average or even be no skill to the point where people start calling them no skill just like what has happened to piper recently.

Also, a brawler can't truly be "no skil" since every brawler needs some sort of skill to win, if it actually no skill then you would win without even moving or touching a button. If an edgar won a game against masters players playing snipers in a map with no walls is he no skill?
