Fun fact: Penny highest win rate in any given mode is actually 5v5 knockout. Since her cannon gets a lot of range it’s actually pretty useful in the right situations.

It’s worse when you think that this is the brawler brawl gives you as login rewards alongside Darryl

I honestly think that you shouldn't stick to a fixed video length. The quality of your content is always fun to watch and very informative, and I really hope that your channel grows while still maintaining the dedication you put into your videos. Simply talk about what you want to talk about and go through what you think is important, even if it means that the video will be 10, 20, 30 minutes long (some people like me really enjoy your content and are invested to watch full videos). If you really want an estimate though, I think that 15 minute long videos would be great. Much success to your career here!!

I love it when text-to-speech man uploads another philisophical take on a character from a kids game 🗣🔥

The true problem with penny is that Darryl exists 🥶

[wengonnwong]

Penny being an artillery (usually an attacking class) while dealing damage less than Gus, a support brawler with similar reload but faster attack travel speed and range 💀

As someone whose favorite brawler has been Penny since I unlocked her and grinded her title immediately after returning to the game, I have a lot of thoughts regarding her design

This message is really long, click the read more at your discretion

She's so close to being at least mid tier, but if you were to buff every undertuned aspect of hers to an acceptable level, then she would be undeniably at the higher end. Even when I was pushing her solo to 900, she functioned well to keep the enemy away from an area because her turret was very oppressive, since even if she didn't kill, any amount of damage was enough to keep them from healing, effectively keeping them away. She's very similar to Brock and Barley [My other favorite brawlers] in that sense, where the area denial is enough to warrant enemies to be wary of their movement, and is especially useful on chokepoints or modes where the objective forces brawlers in one place

I actually prefer Trusty Spyglass over Salty Barrel. Both Hot Zone and Heist benefit from additional turret fire on command, and an interesting mechanic it has is that it can target anyone in bushes as long as at least one target is visible, which nobody who's hiding expects. Salty Barrel has it's uses, but my playstyle is too mobile for it to be valuable to me, I reposition constantly and have high confidence in my dodging skills and ability to read the battle

She struggles a lot because her cannon provides so much value on its own that even if she's dead, she maintains a high threat on the field as long as it's up. The devs can't make her as a brawler too strong because then she could make a 1v2 a close match. She also has a lot of fundamental similarities to Jessie, and I don't think the dev team wants to make the two of the more similar than they already are, since then you run into the thrower problem of being easily replaceable by the other

As for how I'd buff her, I'd like to see three changes, two of which unfortunately run into the above mentioned problem, but at the same time, Jessie has better attack stats in the most common situation [1v1]. I think Penny deserves to be more usable, full bias on show. I think a Penny meta would be entertaining now, although it would also be a little overwhelming since everyone would have her, due to the daily calendar giving you access to her or Darryl for free, but she deserves some spotlight of her own merit, not because of a strong gadget

1 - I'd like to see her main damage reach at least 2000, as to cross some health thresholds she's barely short of. We've never seen her at that damage threshold at any point in history [even accounting for level increases and damage inflation], and I'd say Jessie crossed it just fine without issue when her attack was reworked. I have faith that Penny can do the same, since she's just short of it by 40, and the splash damage wouldn't be significantly changed either. It would only meaningfully affect specific 1v1s

2 - I would also appreciate her range being increased by a bit, but I understand why the devs are scared to do that, since her splash would also have a longer range. It wouldn't be unreasonable to nerf the Splash range by the same amount buffed to compensate and keep the same best case scenario for range, since that would also lessen the impact her splash has on noobs who know to avoid it but can't react quickly enough

3 - Finally, I feel that her ring of fire is impactful enough on its own to carry both Penny and her cannon. It lingers just long enough to force enemies to be more careful, and unfortunately, even if they nerfed the damage, as it's the act of preventing healing that causes the most issues. I think it'd be a good compromise to make it only do one tick after landing instead of two, and just combining the damage of both ticks into the singular one. It makes her cannon less oppressive and would necessitate Penny to apply the missing pressure herself, which would be easier by virtue of longer range and slightly better damage matchups, while also enabling a more aggressive playstyle for her. Maybe adjust her special charge rate as needed too

I just would love to see Penny on an even playing field with most brawlers, as I think she brings something to the table that most people overlook

[SqquareLord]

me when artillery brawler cannot shoot over walls and also non artillery brawler that CAN shoot over walls (this is unplayable)

[lejoueurfreetoplay]

Remember when Penny players used to put the cannon right outside the turret's range in siege ?

[dr.eggman]

Its so baffling to me how much love tick gets with hypercharge and skins and the other 2 members of his group are so neglected

[galacticweirdo]

I really enjoy the lack of flashy editing and the more professional style you have. Its informative, its thorough, its well researched and i can just feel the passion you have for these videos. I always am excited to see another powerpoint.

[gigiobigio]

Fun fact: if penny was actually a good brawler and we saw her frequently we wouldnt like her as much as we say

[YawnIsLame]

as a penny main, i honestly love how people always underestimate her, since the enemies barely ever attack me. I use the double spread SP and in chockey maps it's literally a one-shot machine!
i do recognize she's pretty weak by her own but i still play her, her gimmick is incredibly fun and satisfying to hit
maybe a buff to her overall damage could be very helpful, maybeee a range boost? well only time will tell
ill still use her though!

You and bedlam are producing the highest quality content relating to brawl stars in terms of actually helping the playerbase I've ever seen in years.

[acommenter]

I think videos varying in length is best. Some people don't have the attention span or time for longer videos. Others don't even bother to click on shorter videos thinking they'll be low quality or shallow. Having a mix is going to allow a broad range of viewers who aren't familiar with your content to access it, and those who already watch regularly don't need to be catered too as long as you keep your high quality up.

[danyshapes]

Am i just learning that Penny's cannon has a name? AND IT'S LENNY?

[AnAnt-bzgc]

wish more channels were like this. straight forward, no filler, and quite interesting. You can also feel the personality through the way you write the PowerPoint. Not over edited brainrot that overwhelms you either

[galacpot]

As a top 500 penny, I can confidently say that this was an amazing description and analysis of her.

Still smash :3 short hair, eye-patch girl is the reason I kept playing this game <3
