He requires you to not only keep a relatively safe distance at ALL times, but also your aiming ability in order to stun people at any distance which can be very easy to screw up compared to other assassins like Lily who have gadgets and starpowers that enable them to get away scotch free
Totally not like this support Brawler does a better Job as an Assassin as actual assassin brawlers do, especially with a certain Starpower specifically to help him in Showdown, a gamemode notorious for being filled with Assassins

Assassins aren't the problem. The game wouldn't work without them. Imagine playing rock paper scissors, but you remove the scissors. The game would just not work. You need the scissors to take care of the paper. It's the people that don't understand the game that maining paper will inevitably get you killed by scissors and it doesn't help that the idiots that use scissors try to go in against both rock and paper indiscriminately not thinking of the impact it has on their teammates.
People need to start playing as the brawler they're using. If you're a damage dealer, play as a damage dealer and don't try to get a team wipe and whatever. If you're a tank, play as that and help your team push and dealing with stronger brawlers. Professional players play like this but it's impossible without your friends since people just do their own thing.
I personally don't rlly mind assassins cuz i do know how to play against them. But one thing that annoys me is they keep on adding brawlers that aren't rlly assassins but acts like an assassin. Kit players, I'm watching you.
As a mortis main I can say it’s all about matchup. If you have enemies who actually know what they’re doing then it’s harder but still possible to wipe them, but don’t sleep on the actually good mortis mains
For Real Man, you can't classify assassins in general. Each one plays very differently. You play Mortis way differently than you do Leon or Fang or Cordelius. It is just that these dumb randoms bring a bad name to one of the most innovative classes in Brawl Stars
Assassins are either a total menace or the easiest kill ever. There’s basically no in-between. If you get in a really good position, or get a really good super, against a suitable target, you can demolish your enemy. But if one of those doesn‘t apply, you‘re as good as dead. It‘s a high risk, high rewards system. The problem is, and this‘ll sound dumb, but hear me out: the elect of suprise. the receiver of the attack by the assassin is most often ill-prepared because of the suprise, and can do nothing but be forced to engage in a fight which is already rigged against them, as the enemy got an immediate head start. which goes into another strength of assassins: choosing your fights. Being able to nope out of a fight fairly easily is inherently strong and annoying. This makes it so that even if you have a counter to assassins, they can just avoid you all game long. And assassins can choose to jump an opponent they‘ll defeat rather easily and ignore/escape an opponent that‘ll usually destroy them, but the enemy has close to zero counterplay to this, unless the assassin player messes up in some way or gets cornered. And lastly, they’re fairly easy to use and get results with, making them menaces even in the hands of newer players. And everything mentioned here (head-start due to element of suprise, very little counterplay, easy to use, choosing fights) combined makes them so frustrating. They come out of nowhere, immediately get up close and pump damage in you, meanwhile you have almost no reaction time, and even with the little time you get often can‘t do anything with it. It leaves you with frustration, as you fell that you couldn‘t have done anything different, which is kinda true. Most often, the only real difference you could have made is choosing a different path, but that is not something you know while playing. Now of course, assassins have drawbacks. Without their head start, they often fail completely at 1 on 1 combat. Without their super, they have no actual way of getting to the enemy, meaning they can be outranged and their health slowly drained. And if they‘re the victim of a suprise, they most often than not fall victim to their own tactics, meaning assassins also counter other assassins. Sometimes, with a bad lobby, you get hard countered by countless Shelly’s and bulls, or high health brawler like el primo. They have quick burst damage that takes you out instantly, and el primo for example can survive the initial attack and then go in for a counterplay or retreat. But there‘s still a stark contrast in losing and winning as an assassin. You still often completely dominate the lobby when you win, and when you lose it‘s most likely because you got blasted by a prepared enemy immediately. But against assassins, you don‘t remember the times you killed one immediately with a Shelly super, you remember when a buzz somehow hit you from max range, and you could only watch and spam some button as he tore your brawler up, without you being able to put up any defense, until inevitably, that losing screen with the big number „9th place“ and the -9 trophies was prompted to appear. You could do nothing at all, but watch…
Most people only complain about assians becuase they play brawlers like dynamike, colt or belle. Also the fact that people complain about assasins is hiding the fact that piper broken as shit.
The brawl stars community is so stupid that it scares me, they only play showdown and they think that the meta exists in showdown, A game mode that will never dictate the meta. Furthermore, assassins are countered by controllers and tanks, and by many other brawlers who have any form of self-defense, Any stun, dash, knockback, anything will counter the assassins. Charlie is the biggest anomaly against these brawlers, and there are people crying for a class that is so easily fought.The only really strong assasins are melodie and cordelius, Melodie just needs a nerf to balance her, Cordelius is just an stupid assasin.
Exactly, half the brawlers have gadgets that i like to call "anti assassin gadgets." They are the best reason why assassins aren't good without their hypercharges and if an assassin really annoys you that much, just be better at the game.
I think the reason assassins are so hated is because of how toxic their players are Like, Edgar and Fang mains will camp on a bush in showdown, kill you and then spin and throw clown or dislike pins. On 3v3 mods they go for low health brawlers, which is not a bad thing, but they act like killing a 1hp Colt makes them the best player in the world Besides that whenever a brawler can counter an assassin, they get called "no skill". Just look at what happened to Piper or Dynamike (yes I know that their skill floor has decreased, but they're still skilled brawlers)
@@invader8491 Piper started to get extremely hated on cuz of her auto-aimer gadget that pushes and slows down enemies, that allowed her to make more aggressive plays and survive for longer I know that her skill floor has decreased a bit and that's cuz of her high damage at medium range, but the comunity acts like it was the gadget that started it all and say that Piper is a "no-skill" brawler for being able to survive a surprise Edgar attack
@kaka_445 yes I'm aware of the hate towards piper and I'm on par with it, although not as intensely as the rest of the community as any ranged brawler requires some level of skill to be viable. but Piper has just become incredibly frustrating to go against due to all of her traits and with her mains being hypocritical towards anyone that Piper counters. The reason I asked was because I was once again surprised at Piper Mains claiming that their brawler is the hardest to play with. Again, though, she's not "no skill," but she has become "low skill". Just out of curiosity what's your main?
I dunno, I play poco back then and he feels super tanky, I play gus and his super knockback buff helps him a lot... tanks I play are immediate counters... other supports I play tho like max, she easily dies since she has no escape and all her ammo unload takes quite a while despite some cases I won
Killing Edgar as Lily is like completing old COD on Veteran, extremely stupid but satisfying thing. I've seen him killing El Primo even if first was already damaged.
This is why I love playing characters like Gus, Bea, and Emz. Gus' super and Emz's gadget essentially says "f off" to every assassin and Bea's gadget and super is the perfect counter to them
I think you missed the main reason why assasins are so hated which is lack of counterplay on both sides. If edgar faces a brawler that he counters (all throwers, brawlers with no knockback) they are dead every time he has ultimate, and if a brawler counters him, edgar will die every time instead
You know,this is normally a team game,you can caunter an Edgar If he doenst have an super,so you can caunter him at some time,he also can with his super If you are getting clapped by an edgar,just get close to an teammate
@@Nicolas-dr3yp if your team has 3 brawlers that edgar counters its not gonna matter, and usually you dont wanna be very close to your teammates anyway
assassin skill caps are everywhere, but everyone only focuses on the no skilled ones like edgar, fang or mico. not the mid or high skills like buzz, stu or crow. when i played buzz he was known as a chad brawler but ever since the upsize in childish playerbase, everyone assumes hes a piece of shit just because of that classification. like, i get he isnt high skill but isnt low skill either, bad positioning and or timing gets you shit results but now people only see "grrr autoaim brawler trash bad bad grr"
yes there are some assasins that require skill, like stu or buzz, but most are just the toxic edgars, who think they are good by just canping untill they jump on someone just to do a thumbs down emote
@@Epstrix yeah hes not like TOP TOP skill, but the thing is with buzz that you need to stay a certain distance from someone to charge the super. Without his super, he will die
I don’t think assassins are ruining the game, but I do think BrawlStars is pushing them more than any brawlers. Usually there are quite some strong assassins, and they get usually stuff faster, like skins, mythic gears. Not so long ago 5 of the 6 brawlers that got a hypercharge were assassins, only one not being one dynamike
3:43 I say it as a Buzz main: there are tons of ways to counter him and his super. Also, the assassins are probably the most counterable class in the entire game. They are often playable in Showdown only, and most of them are more skilled that you can actually think. Obviously there are some assassins who are totally braindead such as Edgar or Kit (I consider him an assassin: you cannot use him as a support in Solo Showdown). But they are often good only in one mode, or in general it's risky to choose them in a match-up in Ranked for istance. There are tons of ways to counter the assassins, as almost every brawler has one ability to counter them at least (gadgets, star powers or supers). If people get killed by assassins, it's often because thery have some skill issues.
My biggest problem with Assassins is most of them have a dash or jump super which can be really annoying if you're playing a brawler that's bad at close range.
Most assasins are fun to play, and as the video says fast pacing gameplay is what supercell goes for But in counterpart if you look at most maps, they are open, especially in knockout, some gemgrab maps wipe out etc, wich makes assasins almost obsolete and give advantage to marksman, i think thats a way to balance a litlle, even if you are going to find assasins in map you DEF dont want a mortis to be in
They ain't. The Edgars and Fangs of the world can be annoying, but people forget people maining them are most likely kids who find the brawlers easy to pick up and fun. If you play against an actual adult that mains Fang the outcome would probably be very different than if it was a 9 year old tomar753. Stu and Sam are considered assasins too btw, and basically none of what is said about an average Edgar can be said for an average Stu
Melodie, Crow, Leon, Edgar, Fang, Lily are pain to play against. Melodie is too op, Crow is slow torture, Leon appears out of nowhere, Edgar without hypercharge is balanced(if you cant counter just use a better brawler), Fang is actually really balanced too because i play El primo, Lily one shots everyone which is stupid busted. They either make the assassin extremely painful to play against, very weak (looking at you Darryl), or blatantly unfair.
I know this may sound crazy but I feel like Edgar has gotten a little better at high rank matches, because of Edgar bad reputation no one expects you to play him and yes you may counter him but he’s still really annoying and could cost you a win
Throwers ruin the game. no matter which brawler you choose it always feels like you can’t do anything about them. even if they play horribly they’re just insanely frustrating to play against like who actually has fun playing against one? assassins are annoying too but without them what would the game be? i know some are super no-skill like fang and especially edgar but they just need to get changed, not entirely removed.. and throwers no matter how much they're nerfed, they're just way too broken. so the only was to fix them is to remove them.
For me, the reason assassin felt strong in this game because almost every mode require close combat…and some range brawlers, their projectile kinda easy to dodge… Not to mention theres walls and indestructable walls…
Maybe the people who use assassins are toxic maybe some cuz everytime they get a kill they will thumbs you down and show the x spray or the clown pin or spray
Most assassins have a lot of counters. Half the brawlers in The game possess gadgets, which I like to call anti assassin gadgets and these gadgets are specifically designed to counter close range brawlers, which makes brawlers like Fang, an Edgar easily counterable, which further confuses me on how everyone is annoyed at them. If you're really having that much of a trouble at countering a group of brawlers that you would go so far as to say that they should be removed from the game, then just learn how to counter them instead of ruining the games experience for assassin mains. Most assassins aren't close to being considered good in the latest teir lists, with them being in c or b tier, and the only assassin that is causing a mess rn is melody.
i think that assassins are much harder to play than people give them credit for, i was a rico main before his buffs and a max main now (i say this because they're both generally considered high skill cap brawlers) and i consistently cleaned house with them but playing assassins just short circuits my brain for some reason, i tried to get good at fang but he has like twenty combos to memorize and know when to execute and a bunch of counters and it was an enormous pain for me to get anything over a 1:1 kdr
The trick for playing Fang is that you have to completely turn off your brain while using him. Seriously though, there’s no way you are actually having difficulty playing Fang
@@fede113 it doesn’t matter how many trophies you have. I’ve been playing since 2018, have 3 brawlers at rank 30, and my rank is legendary 2. I have enough experience to know what I’m talking about
@Gab_271 ranks don't mean anything if you don't say how many trophies you have. Also legendary 2 is literally worthless with the new system you can get in like 2 hours. So I will ask it again, how many trophies do you have?
Yes because they mostly don't have any apparent counters, they're easy to play, super annoying and have alot of outplay potential, supercell also made 4 assassins just this year
There's a Rule i Have for when Playing In Ranked. "Your team should never pick more than one assassin." If You dare to play Double or worse, Triple Assassin. The enemy Team Will Just play Around your team composición and counter your Attacks. Only noobs get overwhelmed by this combo.
The devs definitely have a strong bias against them. Because almost all kids who make up a majority of the playerbase like you said have no skill or attention span and needs to play no skill strong brawlers. Thats why they gave them hypercharges first, give them alot of good skins, because they know keeping assasins strong and popular causes alot of players to continue playing
Edgar really shouldn’t have no skill as a stereotype, only about 40% of Edgar’s are toxic and no skill, and when I play Edgar I don’t even bush camp bc what’s the fun?
Assassins keep the games interesting but the problem is that they have too much damage and HP combined like buzz or fang since like you said burst damage is their main trait but when you try to kill a assassin they usually kill you and still have a couple thousand HP left
yes, they are. I'm a masters player and I can tell you excluding crow and bad edgars They are so overbearing in thier strengths it's ridiculous. Bad randoms can almost never fail using those brawlers lol, so I always suggest them to my allies so it's easier to carry.
On the topic of assasins stu is one assasin that isnt very easy to play compared to like edgar and thats why i love stu so much, hes a high skill seilling assasin
Assasins are a really useless class tbh. It's literally just tanks but you don't need any of the patience they require. It doesn't help the bias supercell gives them, giving them hypercharges before any other brawler, making them extremely broken and giving them a bunch of skins. Even more you can see this extreme favoritism with the amount of assasin there are, around a third the brawlers introduced in the last year were just assasins
They added 3 (4 if we count Kit) assassins in just 3 updates, a lot of assassins have legendary skins, most of the assassins have hypercharge (we literally got hypercharges for assassins in one update). It's clear that the majority of the playerbase (= kids) like assassins, and the dev team is ready to deliver You can clearly see I'm sick of assissins, mostly because they're the ones who are getting a lot of attention
5:48 You have never experience what it’s like to play against Fang as Meg. Ik he’s just an outlier, but holy shit, that’s actually such a bad matchup because the second you take any damage, he already has super and knocks you out of your mech before you can even process that he’s started hitting you.
Sorry, i just don't agree with what you said about Edgar. He's not "good", he is "Otherworldy OP". I ranked in global tournament of brawl star and didn't ban him, my team had cordelius and Meg, we were in KO, in two matches against the enemy team, we lost the first match because of a single Buzz. In the second, we killed the other two, 4 TIMES, and Edgar wiped the three of us ALONE + two lives of Meg, and you say he is just GOOD or STRONG?! This was a fricking mondial tournament, a global, ESPORT, and one was able to single-handedly wipe three enemies 5 times in a MOBA game? You call that strong, and not ridicoulously OP? nah, you don't know what you're talking about...Opinion rejected.
The issue with assassins for me is how much damage and stuns they have, and also that 99% percent of them have cracked mobility meaning you have 0 ways to get away from them
Honestly Edgars have stopped annoying me. In just 4 months of me playing he went from the bane of my existence to absolutely not being a problem 90% or the time. And there are ways to revert Buzz latching onto you, he's not impossible
@@Beautiful_Twisted_Fantasy Edgar is countered well by Bull and Shelly. Buzz can be reflected with Piper's gadget. Other than that, I don't know what to do.
@@FurasCebulowyIf you get good with Stu you can win 90% of your matchups, the losses are pure skill issues, speaking from experience. Just make sure you always have a super before Edgar jumps on you, then dash away and you're done. Bibi is another counter, knock him back and if you're on really really low health heal with the gadget. Darryl is a tank that does 4800 at point blank, not really an explanation needed. Edgar is certainly a noobstomper but the more you play the more you'll find others I haven't mentioned also counter him :)
@@FurasCebulowy Just noticed you also mentioned trouble with buzz. If you're able to dash away, have a knockback or have a stun of your own and pay close attention to how close Buzz is to you, you should be able to get better at facing him
Look, I Know You Guys All Hate The Assassins, But In My Opinion, I Also Hate Tanks Too, Because They Are Also Hard To Deal Them, As Some Of Them Have More Health Than Any Class In The Game, But I Hope One Day, Leon & Edgar Will Be Remaining In The Game Forever, And Remove Crow, Mortis & Fang From The Game Soon. Because My Favorite Brawlers Are Leon, Edgar, Colette, Piper, Mandy, Janet, Bonnie, Stu, Sandy and Gus.
Melodie is the only assassin I main but I see that many like edgar and buzz are rampant cause of their easy play style. Melodie is strong yes but I wouldn't say she's as oppressive or annoying as edgar and buzz since most of her dps comes from her notes. However I will say melodie is an assassin that requires a level of skill. That skill can elude to proper note rotations, knowing when to use your dashes effectively just to name a few. I think that really that assassin class is strong yes but only like a handful of characters in that class do so.
@ADudeNamedCaleb I get it but from my pov as a marksman and damage dealer main and with her being the only assassin I play, I feel like I gotta be crucial with what I do with her
She is so no skil you can auto aim from like 5 tiles away and still land your hits and some brawlers literally can’t do anything against you like Mr p and squeak
The monkey is the worst assasin by far.Like it does have the worst reload,and the worst hypercharge but ,unlike mortis ,mico doesnt have a gadget to fix that so how is Mortis worse thean Mico?
I know this is a position paper but maybe not make a video if your thesis insinuates a large amount of bias, I don't wanna make a thesis on why tanks are secretly op because I'm a tank main, just like how a lawyer with relations to the client is not allowed due to possible bias there's more reasons we hate assassins, I fancy tanks and even I hate those when I mostly counter them... ya right that they're hated due to the playerbase and the common playstyle of not being team player, but it's not the player's fault when that's what their role is, cord has a gadget that helps allies kill with silence but players would rather use it for their kill because it's just easier to do so and is the purpose of their kit, assassins are meant to deal high damage in a short time and also approach quickly... which also relates to their hate, their kills feel unfair due to having no time to prepare, the damage inflation gives them less than 2 seconds to react to an edgar come out from the bush... the big one ya didn't include is the fact that kills are way more awarded in the game than anything else, one can have 9-2 but 30k damage and be the star player, while the 2-9 with 100k damage and the other one who pressured every enemy to give the kills to the 9-2 will get no star player, but a label that has less value, most damage by 2-9 and most healing by pressure with no rewards, not even a little mastery boost unlike star player, this incentivizes kills above all things, even brawl ball scores or gem grab gems, other modes like knockout or takedown has a similar case but different because pressure only won't work and kills are needed there... but the worst part of assassins being mainstream is that they're biased, most hypercharges are for assassins, op ones back then that had to be emergency nerfed are from assassins, some like colette have a strong hypercharge but don't need to be nerfed because they're not played like an assassin who's hypercharge makes the kill time be even less than 2 seconds then hop on the other for another kill, colette is in a niche where her hc is good for charging supers again but that makes it weak and the reason it's good is against the safe assassins tho just won't leave, deleting every brawler labeled assassin will make some tanks be the assassins or make belle be one, tanks are oftenly played like pressurized assassins afterall... also, crow, sam and stu ain't an assassin
I don’t care about the others but kit literally ruins any showdown match and he just needs to be nerfed back into oblivion so people will play showdown
He is way too no skill with his impossible to dodge super and unfair gadgets, as well as his way too high damage. He should get the buster ring thing so that he is actually a support lol
I the throwers more because I hate just casually minding my day and suddenly the whole area is a minefield by some "skilled player" with tick or Larry and Lawrie.
This video is basically just saying that most assasin mains are kids (I'm also pretty sure that buzz is so high in usage because he was given to everyone for free and got the buzzilla skin)
they overhate assassins fr, if yall wanna play sum squishy brawler yall have to deal with these guys, the solution is just don' play these type of brawlers if you cant deal with assassins...

FAX Really good metaphor you should be a poet bro
People need to start playing as the brawler they're using. If you're a damage dealer, play as a damage dealer and don't try to get a team wipe and whatever. If you're a tank, play as that and help your team push and dealing with stronger brawlers. Professional players play like this but it's impossible without your friends since people just do their own thing.
Only assassin I despise is Edgar. No one else. Only him.

For Real Man, you can't classify assassins in general. Each one plays very differently. You play Mortis way differently than you do Leon or Fang or Cordelius. It is just that these dumb randoms bring a bad name to one of the most innovative classes in Brawl Stars

Assassins are either a total menace or the easiest kill ever. There’s basically no in-between. If you get in a really good position, or get a really good super, against a suitable target, you can demolish your enemy. But if one of those doesn‘t apply, you‘re as good as dead. It‘s a high risk, high rewards system. The problem is, and this‘ll sound dumb, but hear me out: the elect of suprise. the receiver of the attack by the assassin is most often ill-prepared because of the suprise, and can do nothing but be forced to engage in a fight which is already rigged against them, as the enemy got an immediate head start. which goes into another strength of assassins: choosing your fights. Being able to nope out of a fight fairly easily is inherently strong and annoying. This makes it so that even if you have a counter to assassins, they can just avoid you all game long. And assassins can choose to jump an opponent they‘ll defeat rather easily and ignore/escape an opponent that‘ll usually destroy them, but the enemy has close to zero counterplay to this, unless the assassin player messes up in some way or gets cornered. And lastly, they’re fairly easy to use and get results with, making them menaces even in the hands of newer players. And everything mentioned here (head-start due to element of suprise, very little counterplay, easy to use, choosing fights) combined makes them so frustrating. They come out of nowhere, immediately get up close and pump damage in you, meanwhile you have almost no reaction time, and even with the little time you get often can‘t do anything with it. It leaves you with frustration, as you fell that you couldn‘t have done anything different, which is kinda true. Most often, the only real difference you could have made is choosing a different path, but that is not something you know while playing. Now of course, assassins have drawbacks. Without their head start, they often fail completely at 1 on 1 combat. Without their super, they have no actual way of getting to the enemy, meaning they can be outranged and their health slowly drained. And if they‘re the victim of a suprise, they most often than not fall victim to their own tactics, meaning assassins also counter other assassins. Sometimes, with a bad lobby, you get hard countered by countless Shelly’s and bulls, or high health brawler like el primo. They have quick burst damage that takes you out instantly, and el primo for example can survive the initial attack and then go in for a counterplay or retreat. But there‘s still a stark contrast in losing and winning as an assassin. You still often completely dominate the lobby when you win, and when you lose it‘s most likely because you got blasted by a prepared enemy immediately. But against assassins, you don‘t remember the times you killed one immediately with a Shelly super, you remember when a buzz somehow hit you from max range, and you could only watch and spam some button as he tore your brawler up, without you being able to put up any defense, until inevitably, that losing screen with the big number „9th place“ and the -9 trophies was prompted to appear. You could do nothing at all, but watch…
One of my friends would say to this: „halbe bibel, ganzer h*rensohn“, roughly translating to:“half the Bible, fully the son of a b*tch“
Most people only complain about assians becuase they play brawlers like dynamike, colt or belle. Also the fact that people complain about assasins is hiding the fact that piper broken as shit.
Belle and dynamike counter assassins idk what ur on about
Me who mains Belle
i honestly just hate how assassins hard counter most brawlers in solo showdown, making every showdown game look the same.
The brawl stars community is so stupid that it scares me, they only play showdown and they think that the meta exists in showdown, A game mode that will never dictate the meta. Furthermore, assassins are countered by controllers and tanks, and by many other brawlers who have any form of self-defense, Any stun, dash, knockback, anything will counter the assassins. Charlie is the biggest anomaly against these brawlers, and there are people crying for a class that is so easily fought.The only really strong assasins are melodie and cordelius, Melodie just needs a nerf to balance her, Cordelius is just an stupid assasin.
Exactly, half the brawlers have gadgets that i like to call "anti assassin gadgets." They are the best reason why assassins aren't good without their hypercharges and if an assassin really annoys you that much, just be better at the game.
I think the reason assassins are so hated is because of how toxic their players are
Like, Edgar and Fang mains will camp on a bush in showdown, kill you and then spin and throw clown or dislike pins. On 3v3 mods they go for low health brawlers, which is not a bad thing, but they act like killing a 1hp Colt makes them the best player in the world
Besides that whenever a brawler can counter an assassin, they get called "no skill". Just look at what happened to Piper or Dynamike (yes I know that their skill floor has decreased, but they're still skilled brawlers)
@kaka_445 OK I completely get dynamike but piper???
@@invader8491 Piper started to get extremely hated on cuz of her auto-aimer gadget that pushes and slows down enemies, that allowed her to make more aggressive plays and survive for longer
I know that her skill floor has decreased a bit and that's cuz of her high damage at medium range, but the comunity acts like it was the gadget that started it all and say that Piper is a "no-skill" brawler for being able to survive a surprise Edgar attack
@kaka_445 yes I'm aware of the hate towards piper and I'm on par with it, although not as intensely as the rest of the community as any ranged brawler requires some level of skill to be viable. but Piper has just become incredibly frustrating to go against due to all of her traits and with her mains being hypocritical towards anyone that Piper counters. The reason I asked was because I was once again surprised at Piper Mains claiming that their brawler is the hardest to play with. Again, though, she's not "no skill," but she has become "low skill". Just out of curiosity what's your main?
One reason why edgar is hated because there are players who are overly toxic and act like spamming the auto aim is "skilled".
Tanks and Support are my favorite brawlers and facing assassins really feels like either hell or going through paper.
Bruh, im main tank and tanks counters the assasins, what are you saying?
@@ponto5781 Tanks make it easy to kill assassins. Support is so painful to play against assassins.
@@Coreruptiondepends if your playing an actual support brawler or a certain “””””””support”””””” brawler
I dunno, I play poco back then and he feels super tanky, I play gus and his super knockback buff helps him a lot... tanks I play are immediate counters... other supports I play tho like max, she easily dies since she has no escape and all her ammo unload takes quite a while despite some cases I won
Killing Edgar as Lily is like completing old COD on Veteran, extremely stupid but satisfying thing. I've seen him killing El Primo even if first was already damaged.
This is why I love playing characters like Gus, Bea, and Emz. Gus' super and Emz's gadget essentially says "f off" to every assassin and Bea's gadget and super is the perfect counter to them
Crow can still feast on those and I'm pretty sure Leon can also make them disappear. Mico with a brain can just disengage or time his attack.
Its surprising possible to caunter Bea,Gus and Emz with assassins,i normally doenst have problems with them
Gale is my secondary, you should try using him. It's so satisfying pushing an Edgar back or seeing them get knocked by your tornado.
I think you missed the main reason why assasins are so hated which is lack of counterplay on both sides. If edgar faces a brawler that he counters (all throwers, brawlers with no knockback) they are dead every time he has ultimate, and if a brawler counters him, edgar will die every time instead
You know,this is normally a team game,you can caunter an Edgar If he doenst have an super,so you can caunter him at some time,he also can with his super
If you are getting clapped by an edgar,just get close to an teammate
@@Nicolas-dr3yp if your team has 3 brawlers that edgar counters its not gonna matter, and usually you dont wanna be very close to your teammates anyway
assassin skill caps are everywhere, but everyone only focuses on the no skilled ones like edgar, fang or mico. not the mid or high skills like buzz, stu or crow. when i played buzz he was known as a chad brawler but ever since the upsize in childish playerbase, everyone assumes hes a piece of shit just because of that classification. like, i get he isnt high skill but isnt low skill either, bad positioning and or timing gets you shit results but now people only see "grrr autoaim brawler trash bad bad grr"
Since when was crow a skilled brawler lol
Buzz is not low skill hes meh but 9 out of every 10 Buzz players I have seen are braindead.
I love buzz and play him properly but I see soo many enemy buzz play it soo wrong 😅😊
People cen cheak guide on buzz and will see that's you need to play in specific way you cent just mindlessly run in 😅
Also you cen miss your stun happened to me quite a few times 😅
yes there are some assasins that require skill, like stu or buzz, but most are just the toxic edgars, who think they are good by just canping untill they jump on someone just to do a thumbs down emote
I don't think Buzz needs that much skill though, he has a high damage output and stun
@@Epstrix yeah hes not like TOP TOP skill, but the thing is with buzz that you need to stay a certain distance from someone to charge the super. Without his super, he will die
I don’t think assassins are ruining the game, but I do think BrawlStars is pushing them more than any brawlers. Usually there are quite some strong assassins, and they get usually stuff faster, like skins, mythic gears. Not so long ago 5 of the 6 brawlers that got a hypercharge were assassins, only one not being one dynamike
3:43 I say it as a Buzz main: there are tons of ways to counter him and his super. Also, the assassins are probably the most counterable class in the entire game. They are often playable in Showdown only, and most of them are more skilled that you can actually think. Obviously there are some assassins who are totally braindead such as Edgar or Kit (I consider him an assassin: you cannot use him as a support in Solo Showdown). But they are often good only in one mode, or in general it's risky to choose them in a match-up in Ranked for istance. There are tons of ways to counter the assassins, as almost every brawler has one ability to counter them at least (gadgets, star powers or supers). If people get killed by assassins, it's often because thery have some skill issues.
I agree
My biggest problem with Assassins is most of them have a dash or jump super which can be really annoying if you're playing a brawler that's bad at close range.
Most assasins are fun to play, and as the video says fast pacing gameplay is what supercell goes for
But in counterpart if you look at most maps, they are open, especially in knockout, some gemgrab maps wipe out etc, wich makes assasins almost obsolete and give advantage to marksman, i think thats a way to balance a litlle, even if you are going to find assasins in map you DEF dont want a mortis to be in
Buzz just has 2 really good skins that just came out so people are trying out/maining him because he was free and there was a free godzilla buzz skin
F2P getting a cool skin:
They ain't. The Edgars and Fangs of the world can be annoying, but people forget people maining them are most likely kids who find the brawlers easy to pick up and fun. If you play against an actual adult that mains Fang the outcome would probably be very different than if it was a 9 year old tomar753. Stu and Sam are considered assasins too btw, and basically none of what is said about an average Edgar can be said for an average Stu
HEY! You're DisfunctionallyFunctional? Your voices are pretty similar, great video btw man
He has 3 channels covering different games, so yeah
Melodie, Crow, Leon, Edgar, Fang, Lily are pain to play against. Melodie is too op, Crow is slow torture, Leon appears out of nowhere, Edgar without hypercharge is balanced(if you cant counter
just use a better brawler), Fang is actually really balanced too because i play El primo, Lily one shots everyone which is stupid busted.
They either make the assassin extremely painful to play against, very weak (looking at you Darryl), or blatantly unfair.
Darryl isnt an assassin. Hes a tank
I know this may sound crazy but I feel like Edgar has gotten a little better at high rank matches, because of Edgar bad reputation no one expects you to play him and yes you may counter him but he’s still really annoying and could cost you a win
My favorite type of brawlers tbh

assassins are annoying too but without them what would the game be? i know some are super no-skill like fang and especially edgar but they just need to get changed, not entirely removed.. and throwers no matter how much they're nerfed, they're just way too broken. so the only was to fix them is to remove them.

@@Azact Don't you get it? it still FEELS like they're so op as it takes so long to approach them it's just futile.
For me, the reason assassin felt strong in this game because almost every mode require close combat…and some range brawlers, their projectile kinda easy to dodge…
Not to mention theres walls and indestructable walls…
They dont, really. Most ranged brawlers are in a good place rn
Maybe the people who use assassins are toxic maybe some cuz everytime they get a kill they will thumbs you down and show the x spray or the clown pin or spray
Most assassins have a lot of counters. Half the brawlers in The game possess gadgets, which I like to call anti assassin gadgets and these gadgets are specifically designed to counter close range brawlers, which makes brawlers like Fang, an Edgar easily counterable, which further confuses me on how everyone is annoyed at them. If you're really having that much of a trouble at countering a group of brawlers that you would go so far as to say that they should be removed from the game, then just learn how to counter them instead of ruining the games experience for assassin mains. Most assassins aren't close to being considered good in the latest teir lists, with them being in c or b tier, and the only assassin that is causing a mess rn is melody.
i think that assassins are much harder to play than people give them credit for, i was a rico main before his buffs and a max main now (i say this because they're both generally considered high skill cap brawlers) and i consistently cleaned house with them but playing assassins just short circuits my brain for some reason, i tried to get good at fang but he has like twenty combos to memorize and know when to execute and a bunch of counters and it was an enormous pain for me to get anything over a 1:1 kdr
Fang is pretty easy to main, I'm the noobiest player you will ever see, and assassins are the type of brawlers I can easily main. But Rico and max oof
The trick for playing Fang is that you have to completely turn off your brain while using him. Seriously though, there’s no way you are actually having difficulty playing Fang

The devs definitely have a strong bias against them.
Because almost all kids who make up a majority of the playerbase like you said have no skill or attention span and needs to play no skill strong brawlers.
Thats why they gave them hypercharges first, give them alot of good skins, because they know keeping assasins strong and popular causes alot of players to continue playing
assassins arent even good in this meta 💀MOST of them get countered by over 50% of the brawlers if both players are equally good
Edgar really shouldn’t have no skill as a stereotype, only about 40% of Edgar’s are toxic and no skill, and when I play Edgar I don’t even bush camp bc what’s the fun?
no edgar player is toxic in game
Assassins keep the games interesting but the problem is that they have too much damage and HP combined like buzz or fang since like you said burst damage is their main trait but when you try to kill a assassin they usually kill you and still have a couple thousand HP left
the only assasin i play is buzz bc hes really fun to play and as u mentioned in the video, the super. I like him bc of his see though bushes gadget
You gained a subscriber ;)
P.s.: thank God i'm not the only one who hates Edgar
yes, they are. I'm a masters player and I can tell you excluding crow and bad edgars They are so overbearing in thier strengths it's ridiculous. Bad randoms can almost never fail using those brawlers lol, so I always suggest them to my allies so it's easier to carry.
On the topic of assasins stu is one assasin that isnt very easy to play compared to like edgar and thats why i love stu so much, hes a high skill seilling assasin
Assasins are a really useless class tbh. It's literally just tanks but you don't need any of the patience they require. It doesn't help the bias supercell gives them, giving them hypercharges before any other brawler, making them extremely broken and giving them a bunch of skins. Even more you can see this extreme favoritism with the amount of assasin there are, around a third the brawlers introduced in the last year were just assasins
They added 3 (4 if we count Kit) assassins in just 3 updates, a lot of assassins have legendary skins, most of the assassins have hypercharge (we literally got hypercharges for assassins in one update). It's clear that the majority of the playerbase (= kids) like assassins, and the dev team is ready to deliver
You can clearly see I'm sick of assissins, mostly because they're the ones who are getting a lot of attention
Lmao, all these people complaining about assasins just can't counter them (I'm Dyna main, so I know what I'm saying)

You have never experience what it’s like to play against Fang as Meg. Ik he’s just an outlier, but holy shit, that’s actually such a bad matchup because the second you take any damage, he already has super and knocks you out of your mech before you can even process that he’s started hitting you.
Sorry, i just don't agree with what you said about Edgar.
He's not "good", he is "Otherworldy OP".
I ranked in global tournament of brawl star and didn't ban him, my team had cordelius and Meg, we were in KO, in two matches against the enemy team, we lost the first match because of a single Buzz.
In the second, we killed the other two, 4 TIMES, and Edgar wiped the three of us ALONE + two lives of Meg, and you say he is just GOOD or STRONG?!
This was a fricking mondial tournament, a global, ESPORT, and one was able to single-handedly wipe three enemies 5 times in a MOBA game? You call that strong, and not ridicoulously OP? nah, you don't know what you're talking about...Opinion rejected.
Kids named Shelly, Bull, Bibi, El Primo, Stu, Charlie, Spike, Surge, Darryl, etc. etc.
The issue with assassins for me is how much damage and stuns they have, and also that 99% percent of them have cracked mobility meaning you have 0 ways to get away from them
Bro wtf assasins most hated class? Get ur piper rico brock ass outta here
Piper?????
The only assaisn that take skill is stu and if u count sam for making insane plays and know when to have super off or on
I only find Edgar, Mico, Buzz and Dynamike annoying.
Wait a minute...
Honestly Edgars have stopped annoying me. In just 4 months of me playing he went from the bane of my existence to absolutely not being a problem 90% or the time. And there are ways to revert Buzz latching onto you, he's not impossible
@@Beautiful_Twisted_Fantasy Edgar is countered well by Bull and Shelly. Buzz can be reflected with Piper's gadget. Other than that, I don't know what to do.
@@FurasCebulowyIf you get good with Stu you can win 90% of your matchups, the losses are pure skill issues, speaking from experience. Just make sure you always have a super before Edgar jumps on you, then dash away and you're done.
Bibi is another counter, knock him back and if you're on really really low health heal with the gadget.
Darryl is a tank that does 4800 at point blank, not really an explanation needed.
Edgar is certainly a noobstomper but the more you play the more you'll find others I haven't mentioned also counter him :)
@@FurasCebulowy Just noticed you also mentioned trouble with buzz. If you're able to dash away, have a knockback or have a stun of your own and pay close attention to how close Buzz is to you, you should be able to get better at facing him

Stu is the only assassin that takes skill.
well uhh darryl is definetly an assasin tho he is a "tank" has a high skill ceiling he doesnt fit into anything
Look, I Know You Guys All Hate The Assassins, But In My Opinion, I Also Hate Tanks Too, Because They Are Also Hard To Deal Them, As Some Of Them Have More Health Than Any Class In The Game, But I Hope One Day, Leon & Edgar Will Be Remaining In The Game Forever, And Remove Crow, Mortis & Fang From The Game Soon.
Because My Favorite Brawlers Are Leon, Edgar, Colette, Piper, Mandy, Janet, Bonnie, Stu, Sandy and Gus.
Melodie is the only assassin I main but I see that many like edgar and buzz are rampant cause of their easy play style. Melodie is strong yes but I wouldn't say she's as oppressive or annoying as edgar and buzz since most of her dps comes from her notes. However I will say melodie is an assassin that requires a level of skill. That skill can elude to proper note rotations, knowing when to use your dashes effectively just to name a few. I think that really that assassin class is strong yes but only like a handful of characters in that class do so.
Melodie is no skill.

I know this is a position paper but maybe not make a video if your thesis insinuates a large amount of bias, I don't wanna make a thesis on why tanks are secretly op because I'm a tank main, just like how a lawyer with relations to the client is not allowed due to possible bias
there's more reasons we hate assassins, I fancy tanks and even I hate those when I mostly counter them... ya right that they're hated due to the playerbase and the common playstyle of not being team player, but it's not the player's fault when that's what their role is, cord has a gadget that helps allies kill with silence but players would rather use it for their kill because it's just easier to do so and is the purpose of their kit, assassins are meant to deal high damage in a short time and also approach quickly... which also relates to their hate, their kills feel unfair due to having no time to prepare, the damage inflation gives them less than 2 seconds to react to an edgar come out from the bush... the big one ya didn't include is the fact that kills are way more awarded in the game than anything else, one can have 9-2 but 30k damage and be the star player, while the 2-9 with 100k damage and the other one who pressured every enemy to give the kills to the 9-2 will get no star player, but a label that has less value, most damage by 2-9 and most healing by pressure with no rewards, not even a little mastery boost unlike star player, this incentivizes kills above all things, even brawl ball scores or gem grab gems, other modes like knockout or takedown has a similar case but different because pressure only won't work and kills are needed there... but the worst part of assassins being mainstream is that they're biased, most hypercharges are for assassins, op ones back then that had to be emergency nerfed are from assassins, some like colette have a strong hypercharge but don't need to be nerfed because they're not played like an assassin who's hypercharge makes the kill time be even less than 2 seconds then hop on the other for another kill, colette is in a niche where her hc is good for charging supers again but that makes it weak and the reason it's good is against the safe
assassins tho just won't leave, deleting every brawler labeled assassin will make some tanks be the assassins or make belle be one, tanks are oftenly played like pressurized assassins afterall... also, crow, sam and stu ain't an assassin
You didn't mention that buzz also has 9600 hp and a very fast reload speed making him a good tank too
