i have around 140 hours in game and i am kinda addicted to it but it seems like i get paired with some insane brawl lunatic whenever i hit or get close to hitting gold thus have 500 + wins with a measly 1350 elo. Wanted to know if its maybe somewhat normal👉👈 ,or if its just a skill issue.

Got disconnected rejoined and i felt slower then before and lost sabotage my gameplay with this random disconnect

i just won a giveaway of 300 blue mammoth coins,im sure this will be my only coins for a while because im f2p,whats a way of spending them that wont make me regret it?

Ive been playing the game for years now atp and my main gamemode is 2s and throughout the insane amount of time ive put into this game ive never had a single consistent teammate and for the last couple of months i havent had one at all i dont know where to find people i have no idea where to look i try inviting people i feel like i mesh with in game and theyll play like 3 with me then dip idk how to get a teammate i suppose.

ignoring my last post… it’s genuinely time to let this weapon go because brawlhalla will do nothing to fix it. it’s been bottom 2 for years, so… YUMIKO here I come !

Disclaimer: This is going to be a LONG rant, so bear with me. I’ve added subtitles to break up a bit, and there's a TL;DR at the end for those who can't be bothered to read the whole thing

———————————————————————————

First off all, for as much as I complain about lance, I genuinely love this weapon. I love its playstyle & the identity that sets it apart from the rest of the weapons in the game. So no, I don’t want to switch weapons. I shouldn’t have to abandon the weapon I enjoy just to play something that actually feels rewarding. I want to keep playing lance & feel like the time I put into it is actually worth something.

Anyway,…

1. March 2026: Patch 10.04 nerfed some of lance’s most important attacks
Let's start with a more recent balance patch, because I genuinely think this one deserves MORE attention

In March 2026, Patch 10.04 nerfed four of lance's main attacks in a single patch. Here’s what changed:

- Side Light: Time to hit increased from 10 to 12 frames
- Neutral Air: Damage decreased from 16 to 14, stun reduced from 29–24 to 26–21, and acceleration reduced
- Side Air: Force decreased from 65 fixed / 42 variable to 50 fixed / 40 variable
- Down Air: Threat coverage near the user reduced

That’s FOUR attacks getting nerfed in one patch, & the sair nerf was immense. Its fixed force went from 65 to 50, a 23% reduction. I don't know how anyone can look at that and call it insignificant. Sair is one of lance's main attacks, & losing that much force obviously affects its ability to kill

We've also seen lance get nerfed over and over again throughout the years. Since 2020, it's received about 23 nerfs compared to just 9 buffs. Obviously, some of those nerfs were justified, but that gap is still pretty insane

And look, I understand WHY lance gets nerfed. It can be annoying to fight against, especially when people struggle to deal with its range and movement. I'm not saying it should never get nerfed or that it's never been too strong. But these changes start making the weapon feel worse to play too. Looking at everything that's been changed, it's clear how much lance has lost in terms of damage, movement, coverage, recovery and killing power. And it just feels like they're taking away what makes the weapon rewarding to play in the first place

2. The problem is that lance already has fundamental weaknesses
People see lance range and immediately act like you’re playing some type of killing machine. Apparently, having range automatically means your weapon good

RANGE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE A WEAPON GOOD

Yes, lance has strong horizontal attacks & it destroys people who approach carelessly. But have you ever actually played lance against someone who KNOWS what they're doing?

Playing against people who know how to counter lance is infuriating. And that's fair to an extent. Every weapon should have counterplay. The issue is that lance's playstyle is so predictable that by low/mid plat it feels like most players already know what you're going to do before you even do it & end up having to work twice as hard just to catch up with the rest of the weapons

3. When was the last time you saw lance win in a tournament?
I already elaborated a little bit about this one one of my other posts. But the question speaks for itself…

4. Playing lance feels like working twice as hard for the same results
Losing isn’t even the problem, since I win most of my matches on an average day. It’s just frustrating playing lance be when you’re already trying your hardest to make it work. You have to space properly, predict your opponent's movement, be careful with your approaches & constantly make sure you're not being too predictable yourself. And obviously, that’s part of playing any weapon and I’m not expecting any free wins. But sometimes it genuinely feels like you have to play perfectly just to get the same results other weapons can get away with playing far more casually

I win games with Lance, and so can others. I’m not claiming the weapon is unusable, nor that every loss is the weapon’s fault. I just want to feel like my skill is being rewarded, rather than feeling like I'm constantly having to work around lance's limitations just to keep up

5. So where does that leave lance?
I don't think lance is unusable. Skilled players can still make it work. I just really do think lance needs a more consistent approach to balancing

Lance's design also creates an awkward balancing dilemma. At lower levels, its range & horizontal attacks are difficult to counter. Against experienced players, opponents can quickly identify its weaknesses. Buffing its obvious strengths make it more annoying to fight AGAINST, while nerfing those strengths risks make it more annoying to play

And I wish the discussion around lance went beyond the usual "lance is broken/trash" arguments. Both sides have their reasons. But I also think there's a reason so many lance players are frustrated with its current state & end up switching to another weapon

LANCE, I LOVE YOU. PLEASE GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.

TL;DR
Lance has received about 23 nerfs and 9 buffs since 2020 (not sure if it’s the exact number but it’s close), and Patch 10.04 in march 2026 slight, nair, sair and dair were all nerfed, with sairs fixed force dropping by 23%

My problem isn’t that lance is completely unplayable. It’s that its strengths can make it annoying to fight against, while its predictable playstyle & weaknesses make it annoying to use against experienced players

I miss when lance was played in competitive play. I don’t expect it to be overpowered, but I do want it to feel rewarding without having to work twice as hard for the same results

Every game I play against that tournament-regular clan I get the life beaten out of me and can't do a thing about it. FFA queue? 1 member shows up and I'm fighting for my life. 1v1 queue? I end up fighting them and end up with carpal tunnel trying to keep up and recover because they never stop moving, their characters' attacks have almost no startup lag to speak of, and I can't even get a hit let alone a combo in edgewise. Just goes to show exactly why even free fighting games lose most of their community after year 1, because everybody learns to win and not to have fun. They're great players, and I don't intend to accuse them of anything but being way too good at fighting games for my filthy casual unc self to do anything against.

Cant ever been friendly anymore jesus man

Or maybe I raged and broke the L2 button. Who knows?

But the truth is that I use the L2 button to dodge/dash and you do that a lot in a single game. Guess that can break the controller with ease. The "real" button still works (and I managed to even win like this) but I already changed the dodge button to L1.

I’ve been saying this for YEARS, since 2020, IDC how bad you think it was, to me it was mental shattering to play them, back then and of course now.

The spam, god the spam, it’s so hard to get around blasters, and you mf’s are only NOW feeling the pain? Fuck outta here.

I losed 300 elo in a sitting and to calm myself I did drugs because I was so fucking mad. MF brawlhalla been making me go insane ong.

I alr got all my elo back.

Has anyone had an experience like this one??

I was on 1911 and lost to a guy with an ELO rating of [1875], the match took -23 ELO from me, leaving me on 1892, I was baffled at how much it decreased. Okay, I said, maybe if I win the next match, I'd win at least that much ELO again. Then, it matched me with a person, I fought against him on till a pretty prolonged last stock because I took extra measures to win this time, and lo and behold, I got +13 ELO, the guy I fought, turns out he was [1873]. I lost 10 ELO from losing and winning to someone that has pretty much the same amount of ELO. How does the ELO rating work here? I would expect at least to have nearly recovered all of the lost ELO in my case. Otherwise, if I can only gain a lot against someone on a higher level, then don't match me against someone who has a really high gap (1st match was 1875 vs 1911 = 36 ELO gap).

IMO The allowed opponent ELO match is too big which makes playing somewhat discouraging, the stakes are too high when you lose. I have to recover the ELO I lost once by winning twice in a row, if I didn't win back-to-back, the gap to recover the lost ELO would've been bigger. Unless I got lucky and matched against a higher ELO. Just a thought.

Je fais souvent de la ranked, mais j’aime bien m’amuser en 1v1 amical avec mes origines en avatar. À force de jouer, j’ai fait un constat : selon le drapeau en face, tu sais si tu vas passer une game agréable.
LISTE A PRENDRE AVEC HUMOUR : l’avatar ne fait pas le joueur, et aucune de ces paroles ne vise à offenser une quelconque communauté. Bref, amusons-nous.

Espagne et Italie : je veux vos avis, parce que woaw, ce qu’ils proposent en termes de rac**me et ragebait….Mention honorable au Portugal : rare en matchmaking, mais présent jusqu’au dernier stock.

Les Français : quand vous voyez un autre drapeau que le vôtre, vous vous transformez en pires colons du jeu mdr (PS : je suis franco-haïtien).

Bulgarie, Allemagne, Danemark, Belgique, Suisse, Autriche : en vrai, vous êtes forts, c’est cool de jouer contre vous.

Les Grecs : c’est un monde à part, je ne sais pas comment vous décrire. Soit vous êtes traumatisants, soit extrêmement nuls.

Turquie, Tunisie, Albanie : c’est grave cool de jouer contre vous, mais vous êtes nombreux. Les Roumains : woaw, eux veulent te faire regretter d’exister.

Finlande, Suède, Norvège : la Triforce des collants, ils vous attrapent et ne vous lâchent plus.

Les Russes : beaucoup de level et cool à jouer, mais tu ne sais pas s’ils t’insultent derrière leur écran.

Maintenant, parlons du bonheur des fitnas : tu fais du 2v2 et tu tombes avec le Maroc et l’Algérie, ils ne se lâchent pas de la game, à croire que le sort du désert se joue dans le jeu. Très drôle à voir.

Les joueurs pastèque : vous êtes chill. Au contraire de leurs homologues maléfiques, c’est un plaisir de les battre quand ils sont toxiques.

Pour être honnête, la flemme de tous les faire, donc Arabie saoudite, Afrique du Sud, Émirats arabes unis : sympa de fou, même si vous êtes énormément sur le jeu.

Mention spéciale aux pays qui me rappellent à chaque fois combien il faut être humble : Bahamas, Jamaïque, Liban, Pérou, Mexique, Panama, Thaïlande, Trinité-et-Tobago, Estonie (Équateur, vous êtes méchants de fou).

PS : drapeaux arc-en-ciel, trans et LGBTQ+ fierté , vous êtes des grands malades : après X combos grâce à vous, je suis devenu ouvert d’esprit…

Et je garde dans mon cœur le seul joueur vietnamien que j’aie jamais affronté.

D’ailleurs, vous, c’est quel pays qui vous a le plus corrigés et appris la vie sur le jeu ?

(Désolé pour la longueur, et merci de la lecture !)

Are most of you coming from Call of Duty or something? I swear 90% of my fights 1v1 or 1 on 1 at the end of a 2v2 on multiplatform maps I'm always stuck waiting for players to finish jumping around on the top platforms. I feel like a parent at a McDonald's indoor playground waiting for my kids to tire themselves out so I can take them home. Then there's all that speedy movement just to end up losing anyway, like can you just sit still fight instead of running and jumping the ENTIRE fight or what's going on? I've officially dubbed these players "squirrels on crack"

Rank distribution as of today.

Notes:

This data is based on each player's current elo at the time of scraping, not their peak elo.

I used the api.brawlhalla.com GetRankings api to manually scrape through all players. I then cleaned the data in Excel and made sure to remove duplicates that had the same playerid.

For ranks that ended in a 0 I moved them a rank up(i.e. Platinum 0 -> Platinum 1 etc).

Overall not super surprised. The rank distribution has been the same for many years now.

For context: I have reached diamond multiple times so I am not the worst player in the world.

Now i just went against someone who DESTROYED ME absolutely flawlessly. This hasnt happened to me in years like. He genuinely read my every single move and he was very fast and intentional with everything. I barely hit him like 5 times the whole match (he 3 stocked me 😢). Another thing is his profile was "smurf" like. No border, ragebait name, basically he just turned on the game for the first time profile.

Lemme know if you met someone like that
