- Now that I figure out what makes a brawler popular, I now gotta figure out what makes a video popular lol
This video wouldn't be possible without leeching off of @RealLex's survey of 16000 responses, here's his video: • Your FAVORITE Brawlers...

I think the rarity and is also correlation because the the devs will want to make legendaries fun so more people pay for them hence why so many legendaries have cool and unique mechanics and a very fast movement speed. I'm sure there is both correlation and causation but i think this is worth mentioning.
Was thinking the same thing, all of the top 5 are legendaries. I think it may also because users find them more rare, and require a grind to get so then they play it much more then easier to get brawlers like Rosa who is bottem 5.
Some legendaries were chromatic
@@ItsartoTV Cordelius and surge
I mean they are legendarys
Legendaries used to be Brawlers with extremely unique mechanics until chromatic came and now we have things like Lou or R-T being not legendary. This may have also affected how Brawl Stars eventually started to look at non-chromatics like Chuck and his weirdly unique mechanics.
9:08
The answer is pretty simple. Cordelius is a legendary brawler and Jacky is a super rare. And you may think, “well Leon and crow are legendarys, but they have high use rates.” But that’s because they are 2 of the 3 first options as legendarys on the star road. Leon and crow are definitely the 2 most common first legendarys in the community. And cordelius is basically at the end of the star road. So if you haven’t been playing the game for a loooong time, then there’s a good chance you won’t have him.
Also leon and crow have been in the game for way longer meaning that more people have probably gotten lucky and gotten them from boxes
@@mscd3768 Thing is, if you were around during boxes, you were probably around for chroma credits too. That made Cordelius pretty accessible, until they decided to remove chromatic rarity, turning him into a legendary brawler.
@@kokimotosan nah but the thing is when he was chromatic, there rlly wasnt that big of a time period where he was available. even though he wasnt the most recent chromatic, be was still decently recent. Plus, if i remember correctly chromatic credits couldnt buy the current chromatic brawler, and the previous chromatic brawler would be 3x more expensive.
Cordelius was my 1st legendary from the Starr road
hmm that's a good theory
respect the 4 lola mains please
@@DabouldGaming keep the like count at 4 guys
Spoob is proud
She is sometimes fun doing alot of burst like meg
@@ItsartoTV she has no where near as much burst damage as meg
right here
Who realised that top 5 loved brawlers are all legendry
Everyone
He literally says it in the vid lil bro
2:48 Buzz and Stu are also assassins
And Morris as well
Mortis*
The top 7 not top 10
i didn't intend the graphic to display top 10 brawlers, when i said "top 7" in the recording lol, but yes u r right
13:08 Dead by Daylight had a very similar problem, whenever a new survivor came out, the devs would look if they were popular and if they were they would get more skins, this eventually made some survivors have next to no skins cause they were extremely unpopular eventually forcing the devs to make their cosmetics team bigger to make skins for the lower use rate survivors
ohh that's interesting, i don't think the problem is nearly as bad in brawl, but that's a cool comparison
Short answer:
Popularity is based on how fun and easy to play the brawler is.
true, the problem is tho, is that fun & ease of use is very subjective
But people love brawlers like colt and Mortis even though they take skill
@@klrcats yes, cause they're fun
shorttubers making mortis and dyna top use rates:
Glad I could be of help :)
This is never the type of video I would make... you know.. maths and statistics and stuff, but I enjoyed it. Well done. We got a future data scientist in the making.
One note though. Surge gained popularity AFTER he became a Legendary. Wether that was due to the change, or other factors I'm not sure, but it's worth noting.
nice to see u here Lex :D
just do more survey videos & i'll handle the statistics part lol, looking forward to the next one to dissect
Meg is now really being taken in consideration with the rework
@@S.N.G14 meg is very good right now
@@TascaBeni Yes that's right
i think in the skin section it phases down at 10+ skins cuz some brawlers have duplicate skins like the football ones that are barely different so they shouldnt count as 6 seperate skins but rather 1
but my take on this video is that the favorite brawlers in general are brawlers that are capable of hard carrying a team without needing a massive skill cap
i tried to address the duplicate skins issue, by grouping skin variations together & counting them as 1 skin, i should've done that for the football ones too
this is actually a great analysis, goodjob! keep it goin!
thanks a ton :D
It'd make sense why players would pick certain classes over the others; Controllers have a very passive style of gameplay making their gameplay slow because you're not supposed to rush with them. However, Assassins have a very active and somewhat passive playstyle making them appealing to basically everyone, also most assassins are capable of rushes that can result in team wipes or turning a losing game into a winning one. Damage Dealers also are very active and can cause team wipes or game changing plays making them shiny and appealing unlike supports and controllers whose gameplays are passive and slower.
100%, those big moments when playing assassin brawlers it what makes them memorable
Great video for someone with only 5k subs, keep up the good work, I know you will make it big some day
thanks a ton, couldn't be here without yalls support :D
imo the brawlers that are the most liked are not bad in the meta/f tier and have unique mechanics and are fun to play and more on the less skilled side
Your channel deserves a lot more subs! Analysing things like this have always been very interesting to me
glad u r enjoying these deep dives :)
this is quite an interesting video topic,enjoyed watching this.
I feel like a lot of the popular brawlers have skills that are fun, and easy to get "good" at. Compare a brawler like edgar to a brawler like piper. Now I would argue that it takes just as long to "master" edgar as it does a brawler like piper, but you can get 90 percent of the way to mastering edgar pretty fast, and even after playing him for a small while, you can get like 60 percent of the way there. But getting good with piper is more steady, so it takes a while to get good with her, which is why she is less popular than edgar
Cool vid I'd like to see a vid about the real value of a MegaBox in the next event 😅
@@ZyphixX1 yes please
working on it
this is such a banger for stat nerds like me n you lmao, enjoyed it a lot
knew u would like this :)
11:07 , So true, I'm a leon main and one of the big reasons for that is the fact that i got the Warewolf leon skin (the blue one)
(And because i got leon from a brawl box at 400 trophies)
its the math guy
shiuming you have to get a brawlstars developer✅
Cool Video Can you maybe make a Video about the (old) best brawl passes
Now the number of assassins is gonna skyrocket. Have fun with that.
This channel has potential
10:24
45 YEARS AGO??!?!?!
damn we are getting old
good quality video😁
i love these type of videos please do more
i gotchu
I think if the assassin like edgar are popular that's because of the young player base, because bro i swear playing him is a torture, always dying, dont have the range etc..
Btw, hope you used the time appropriate tier lists with Lex’s popularity tierlist, since Lex did his poll pretty long ago but Kairos’ tier list is much more recent
yep they're only like 1 week apart
The answer is simple if a brawler has looks (skins) a fun play style and be meta they will be loved and adored! For example surge
Also, while Surge and Cordelius aren't assassins by class, they have similar gameplay to one.
Surge is NOT played like an assassin, he just happens to have an ability that allows him to jump over walls so by that logic El Primo is an assassin
Cordelius is literally classed as an assassin
@zaneplayz3719 Surge has a very fast movement speed, middling to low hp and high damage output as he levels. He is very assassin-ish to me.
I didn't notice Cord was an assassin and typed it in response to the video, which hadn't mentioned him as an assassin alongside Leon and Crow when I typed this.
And yes I do consider Primo to play similarly to an Assassin when he has his super. What else are you doing the jump for aside from mobility/damage?
@BunnyUmi Being an assassin doesn't partly come down to health, just look at Melodie.
And the point of an assassin is to quickly close the distance with your enemy, and Surge cannot quickly close the distance as his super range is very short. All he has to close the distance is a very fast movement speed which is not nearly enough. Also, movement speed isn't the deciding factor for an assassin, considering Stu has a normal movement speed but quickly obtainable dashes
Btw in my opinion I agree with El Primo technically being assasin-ish with his super. Better than Sam is
@zaneplayz3719 while he can't traditionally close the distance, his shots are long ranged, so he doesn't have to get close like that. His jump is to get over walls or to avoid and return damage at close ranges, making it mobility/damage.
Health/movement speed aren't deciding factors, but it's typical to have lower hp and higher speed for the assassin class. Melodie has more average hp than a typical assassin because her notes orbit, meaning she has to stay there for a second more to get her close range damage in.
And Stu is Stu, I have no clue why you'd want to get close with him. At least with Surge, you want to get in to get damage with his super and to ensure shots land. He has the shield gadget to make that easier, whereas Stu does not.
An assassin is a brawler whose job is to kill and be aggressive to the enemy team and they can easily pinch the enemy team
Cordelius has good damage and abilities that makes him an assassin and a super that is literally designed to kill an enemy
So cord is an assassin
And surge has good damage and super that can easily kill enemies but he is a damage dealer
At first stage you need to play him aggressively to get his super like an assassin
At second stage you still play aggressively and at stage 3 to 4 is the stage that you need to play passively cuz dying will remove his upgrades and that can change the match around
And without his upgrades he can easily be defeated
So surge is a damage dealer/assassin-ish, but he is not designed to be an assassin
Bro Spoob is gonna be MAD 💀
GREAT VIDEO ❤
Bro might actually be my favourite Brawl Stars TH-camr since Prime Kairos
That's wild, you only have 6k subs, the quality of these videos is comparable to most Supercell Partnered creators
that means a ton to be compared to prime kairos lol, thanks a lot :D
Idea: compare use rate, strength, and release date
I'm calling it, newer brawlers are stronger and used more than older brawlers
6:53 the point is not bad. however it would be better to calculate the average of where the brawler has been in the meta so that it truly can count, bc at least for me, i started playing (and liking) angelo bc he was super in the meta, and now that he is not super meta i still like him.
just that, great video btw
Him: "and stupid Dynamikes I see every day"
Me: "i'm coming to your house..."
(Theory for Cordelius being not used but loved): People like him but very few actually have him.
as long as you're not dyna-jumping your way there
And what about the charisma? I feel every popular brawler has some kind of appeal, some kind of coolness (Crow, Leon, Mortis, Colt). They have funny voicelines, well-thought personalities. And then you have Pam, Lola and Colonel Ruffs.
0:17 leave a bit more time on the tweets so I can actually read them without having to pause and rewind the video. There wasn’t even enough time to pause it without missing it on the first try. Other than that great video
you are so underrated and you just got a new subscriber
glad u enjoy the vids, thanks a ton :D
Surge is just fun to use and I’m pretty good with him
2:51 stu and buzz are also assassins
And of course damage dealers are on top cuz there are actually almost 30 damage dealers in the game while there isn’t even 10 throwers. You should have multiplied roles where there are not that much brawler to make it fair (for exemple, if there a 5 support, 10 throwers and 30 assassins, multiple supports by 6, and throwers by 3)
Honestly, it's the character's gameplay, because rarity basically doesn't change anything about the characters' gameplay.
It's not even a question of whether the character is broken or strong, it's more about how fun and simple the character's gameplay is, An example is Mortis, who is a very weak brawler, but every Futbrawl game you play has one. And I would say that's just because it's really fun to do some cool moves with the character, and it's not so difficult to play with him.
Their mechanics and roles and how fun and easy they're to play a brawler like Janet who's only used in bushy maps will definitely be less popular than something like piper who's easier and has far more outplay potential
Let's be honest Spike has the better lines 🚬🗿
Bro I love Ruffs and Rosa 😭
Leon next winner 🔥
This is a cool and underrated video what software did u use for ur graphs❤
chart.js library, thanks a ton :D
great video!
you should make a video analyszing the worth of buying brawl pass vs brawl pass plus
that has been on my mind for a while now hmmm
respect to the 2 barley mains
ogs favs are colt dyna and mortis
respet man the video was amazing
yooo comeback video
The 2 bonnie mains in the world:
Hank better be the #1 best
2:51 Buzz is also an assassin :P
true, i didn't intend the infographic to display top 10 brawlers when i said (5 of the top 7)
No, when a brawler is used a lot and liked by everyone, the dev team gives them skins and hypercharges
Skins dont affect anything
Low skill, high play-making potential
I did not know surge had that many fans and i wonder what happened to all mortis fans 😂
Loving the content, keep it up, very original concepts, I love it...
Also the pink furry image 😥 #SAVECLASHMINI
Penny and lola no fanbases. They both my main lmao
@@SinaTheDeniz I though Lola was pretty popular, she was pretty meta a while ago too and like top 5 ranked draft
Please talk about brawl stars lag glitch
I got crow because i thought his super/hypercharge was insanely good, and i thought leon was trash because his super was bad, little did i know crow is worse than leon
There is no way fang is 6th anymore, out dated votes must be the case
My favorite is Sandy
How are mortis, edgar and dyna not in the top 5… my randoms play them all the time
I think gender of brawlers plays a part too. Male brawlers are cooler and tend to be more popular(see top 5 and bottom 5)
I'd say that ease of use greatly affects a brawlers play rate. Cordelius is a high skill cap brawler, his attack has a short range and slow speed that takes some getting used to. He's not some brainless brawler where you could just charge in and spam auto aim, and get results, like most popular brawlers. I think certain brawlers are more popular than others because they can make more pop off plays. The easier the brawler is to use, the more game changing exciting plays can be made. Which feeds into the players adrenaline and dopamine. It's also why people think controllers and support are so boring to play, because it's harder to make exciting plays with them. It will also explain why Dynamike and Colt are so popular despite not being assassins, because they can shred teams pretty easily. This channel explains it pretty well in this video: th-cam.com/video/CvqyXUQJ9cU/w-d-xo.html
Pink Fury
if a brawler is generic or has an ability other brawlers have they’ll automatically be less popular. Typically it’s just brawlers that are easier to play or have broken abilities that are more popular since it appeals to more of the player base
and assasins
No one likes Lola? Wait til u find out about spoob
proud penny enjoyer, here
1:11 Why does the crow have 4 hands?💀😩
the gif must've glitched out lol
In order for a brawler to be fun or popular, they have to have the highest highs, hence why, Meg, ruffs, Pam, etc are not “fun”, they are too well rounded, not having a low low, but also not a high high. I also think brawler personalities matter a bit here, no one wants to play a boring mom that shoots bolts, they rather play a cool robot that uses slangs in his voicelines
u might be onto sth with the personality thing
no wonder why my boi darryl is barely top 10…
In my opinion none of this has smt to do whit brawlers popularity its all about likeability,every likes surge beacose he is chill and cool and pepole love spike beacose he is unique and VERY LIKEBEL,this is not a hate coment is just what i think
i think the reasons u gave are valid, but it goes back to what i said. anyone can give reasons for why a specific brawler is placed so high or low, the goal is to find a trend that can apply to most brawlers
Stu is an assasin.
find the comment
R u sure Lola doesn’t have a fan base 😝
Am i gonna offend the entire underground network of lola fans? lol
@@ShiuMings Spoob is a bigest Lola fan
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
@Spoooob when I was saying that I was literally thinking: Spoob isn’t gonna be happy bout this lmao
For me, I became a fan of Surge when his mastery title came out. It fit me so well at that time that I had to grind it. And the more I played him, the more I started to like him. And when he then also became my 2nd r25 and my first r26, I knew Surge would be my fav brawler for enternity
No skill brawler = popular brawler 😅
@@Negreb25 wrong
Is surge no skill??
@@ZyphixX1 I think so, you just jump on someone and spam auto aim
Do you forget about colt? Or fang?
@@oltimos8888 fang is no skill tho
@@oltimos8888 fang is no skill, colt requires skill tho
TL;DR:
Faster speed=More love

Gameplay that restricts the opponent=More love
isnt meg op rn😂
Kids like surge cus he counters edgar and every regards him as "skilled" "sigma" "chad" or whatever the f
i like surge cuz his attacks looks cool and has a fun mechanics
This is all the exact opposite of Sprout. He has low use rates, hard to play, less the 5 skins, mythic, normal movement. But he finally got a skin this update. So it made all 10 Sprout mains happy.
Lola’s disrespect in this video was immaculate. She’s the best female in the game. She deserves more
tell that to the ppl who didnt' vote lola in lex's survey 😭
@@ShiuMings she wasn’t even the last on the pool. You picked her on purpose 😡 good video btw
