A few weeks ago Supercell soft launched their latest PvP battler, Brawl Stars, and it's already creating quite a stir. Having started earlier today, the development team have been holding a Reddit AMA and with over 439 comments in six hours, I'd say it's going quite well.

According to the team, Brawl Stars has been in development for 1.5 years already and is constantly getting tweaked and updated. Here's some of the most interesting points made so far:

  • The Chip/Elixer/Brawl Box system is getting worked on. Though the incentive for purchasing boxes is lacking and the ratio of duplicate brawler chips is pretty harsh, there will be balance improvements coming.

  • They're looking into preventing AFK players by raising the starting Bounty to two stars, as well as altering the middle star so it won't raise the Bounty of the person who picked it up.

  • Matchmaking is based on the Trophies of the Brawler you're currently playing, except for players with less than 100 total trophies. In these cases high-level players are still prevented from matching with new players.

  • There are new game modes in the works, though nothing's been specified just yet - except maybe a soccer-like mode that may or may not make the final cut.

Those are just a few of the points made. Check out the full AMA right here.
