Trophy Season Rework is Coming!

Brawl Stars – Oct 15, 2024

It’s that time of the year when we rework a whole system again! This time, it’s the Trophy Season Reset!


What are the main problems with this system?

  • It’s unnecessarily complex and not fun

  • On top of that, the rewards suck!

  • It discourages players from using their favorite Brawlers (because at one point it becomes too hard to push them)

  • Also the matchmaking times get too long at high Trophy matches

Our goals with the new system are:

  • Make the system clearer (not necessarily simpler) and fun!

  • Make it more welcoming to casuals, but also more meaningful for ladder warriors 

  • Make it more rewarding and therefore more engaging

  • Remove the friction from playing high Trophy Brawlers


So, here’s all that is changing:

We are adding more Tiers and making the system clearer and more rewarding!
