Backpack Brawl — Hero Battles

Love most of the game but, feel like some chnages to characters ruin them per-say enoch used to be way different now it feels like hes at mercy to most characters especially how good pepper & fern have been for so long with making his setup completely useless.

If you are a new player then you’ll probably really enjoy the game for a while. I had a lot of fun playing various characters and using different playstyles for a bit, but as I got every character into higher ranks it became increasingly clear that the dev team is focused on pushing new content over balancing preexisting items. With over 800 items in the game it becomes more difficult to balance everything, but the recent balance patches have been band aid solutions that fix one problem only to cause another. Think of old cartoons when a character is trying to plug holes in a boat but everytime they plug one and other starts. A lot of the recent changes have changed items without considering what the item was there for. The cleansing crown was very strong, and then was changed without debuffs being altered in any way, leading to debuff focused characters being very strong with fewer options to resist them. It’s not just the items either, the boons have been ignored balance wise as well. Calloused conditioning was changed in a way that did not tackle the actual reason why it was so strong in high ranks, instead it punishes worse players and does nothing against skilled players who know what they are doing. To bring this to a close, the game was fun at first, but getting to know the team and the game better I learned that it just doesn’t have balance as a primary concern. The long time between hotfixes left periods of obvious imbalance that killed my passion for the game. I hope this game will find some better balance in the future, but for now I would not recommend it if you’re looking for a long term game.
