I must say, it is so genuinely awesome that you guys do this. This seriously is something that shouldn't be taken for granted, and by extention, the honesty no matter how controversial or not the topic is (Brawl pass only for real currency). That could have easily been excluded for the sake of PR, but it was addressed. So much respect.

[TRB-Liverpool]

Another podcast another valuable informations. This podcast is one of the many reasons why brawl stars have the best devs.
Also hopes Lola gets her hypercharge next and no longer be considered as "underrated"

[skyking]

One thing I would really like in Power League is to make finding brawlers easier since in that little time I really panic to find the correct brawler and then pick some bad one 😅

[caocao]

Keep up the good work team. I appreciate these quite a bit. Clearly shows how well thought out things are and the practical approach to the game. Stay humble, it’s a great look.

[italoalvarenga]

Hey guys, good work with charlie and the bizarre circus, I just love the whole update! The skins, omg, I love them🔥!

I have a suggestion about balance.
The brawlers with hyper charge and mythic gears just seems broken rn, but we can't even evaluate this, if practically all brawlers don't have the weapons they have, the infamous mythic gear and hyper charge.

I just love how much effort you guys put on hypercharges and bring six of them in every update, this is a really great initiative, but we can't forget the remaining gears.

You guys desperately needs to release more mythic and epic gear. Thanks for all the love, passion and effort you put into this game!
