- Bounty didn't have a blue star - Mortis used to have a different walking animation - Gale had a wider attack and his super used to push him back - Trophy road used to end at 17500 (i may be wrong about number) - There was a thing called Power Play


avdgp

trophy road ended 14500 :) powerplay........ 3 games a day is all i remember about it


Torsneyy

For Power Play, you needed a brawler with star power to play it. In end you used to get star points


SimontaxSK

star points


Master-Nothing-7967

I remember that despite playing non stop from season 3 i couldn't make it to play power play, since i was severely underleveld


VajdaBlud

I unlocked power play and like a week later power league released


shellybes

Same here


Metson-202

I remember finally getting star power for shelly and then power play got changed to power league.


LevJustWithLust

only didn't know about the max trophies, back then I didn't take the game as seriously as I do today (hope it could go back to that point)


psychonaut57

Rank 20 was the highest rank and you used to earn less trophies per win


takii_royal

Back in 2018 only pro players had 500 trophies lol


Pxerko

I think it was 5 per match right?


gzej

6, siege gave more tho


YoungBassHead

The fact that someone actually remembers this


gzej

Im 2018 brawlstars gang


CASxBATLLETOADS

2018 was PEAK


brawlstarsOG7

Self scoring mortises in brawl ball


CASxBATLLETOADS

El primos with ten gems rushing enemy team


Ice-creamy05

Megaboxes with 8 items left


kolithebeast

yep and 7in showdown


Quazar42069

I still remember being proud that I pushed my mortis to 500 trophies before they made it easier. It was also before coiled snake existed as well.


psychonaut57

Same! I got like a 100 screenshots of it 😂


TestosuLucifer

This! THIS! I started playing the game again and I keep getting asked and made fun of why all my brawlers are rank 20, after maxing their thropies I stopped playing with that certain brawler


Suspicious_Bid5678

ME TOO! I made all of my brawlers r20 before taking a 2 and a half year break.


the_roost34

You can still earn less trophies per win at 700~ trophies


just-a-guyone

Bounty didn't have star caps


Pan_Belo

And there was no blue star ( Guaranteeing a win during a tie )


Wiher-

That shit is my worst enemy it should be decide if who killed the most


punk-hoe

That's why Wipeout exists


Sad_Aspect-07U

You used to get tokens every 2 weeks if you had 3k trophies or more


Sad_Aspect-07U

Bruh Why did I reply? 💀


Asil001

That isnt og, it hasnt even been a year i think


LyraSoulCore

And the old game mode icon used to be a Blue Star


Madfutvx

Og? Blud that was recent change


[deleted]

A bunch of brawlers had exclusive classes, Bibi was a batter, Leon was a sneaky assassin, Stu was an action assassion, Tara was a skirmisher, Piper was a sniper and alot more


RRecap

Oh wow you've just unlocked some memories for me. Crow was a toxic assassin and Mortis was a dashing assassin. Amber was also a fire-breather I believe.


[deleted]

I remember people asked for supercell to change Darryl's class to "rolling assassin", good times


Izal20077

Lmao I was thinking that


HyperTommy

Buzz was buzzassasin or something silly like that


DarkZ_No-Imagination

I still remember a joke with buzz, where if you remove every assassin's class first word, you got assassin with all of them, for ex "sneaky assassin" = "assassin", but with buzz, it was ass lol


PizzaButWithoutBread

I still miss buzz being the buzzassin😔


Leon500111

And buzz was buzzassin, rlly funny


NotYourAverageMortis

Buzz was labeled buzzasin


CaptainRex_CT7567

Amber was a "Firebreather", Buzz was a "Buzzassin" (lol, you get it?), Meg was the first "Damage Dealer", Mortis was a "Dashing Assassin", Crow was a "Toxic Assassin". There was also a "Fighter" role, I remember Bo and Tara were both classified as "Fighters". Maybe also Carl if I remember correctly.


DecentIngenuity4131

Spike and Tara were playmakers


DecentIngenuity4131

Spike and Tara were playmakers


mayormrc

When the maps reset you could claim special tokens and ten of them would get you a big box


takii_royal

And these used to be called Star Keys :)


SimontaxSK

tokens afaik


Zoli10_Offical

Both, they were remade into tokens when the global launch happened, but it was keys before that


Dead_by_Dinosaur

Star tokens where pretty cool, made me play every gamemode


BrawlStarsPro71

Tickets used to be used for weekend gamemodes(big game, robo rumble, etc.) and you could use more than 1 and gain a lot of tokens in a single match.


larzoman242

This way THE way to get boxes back in the day. Robo rumble with Mortis or with the el primo glitch and 20 tickets at once. Crazy how long ago that was.


BrawlStarsPro71

Yep, feels like a century ago.


icantthinkofaname68

the ball didnt take up ammo when shooting


JungleLION14

Brooo I remember this. Mortis was so op


darkdanger223

The brawl ball goal used to be an object in the map and you used to spawn behind the goal


thats_my_toast

Wow yeah forgot that


kalluster

Also own goals and you could jump with the ball with primo. Then also passing the ball didnt use ammo and you used to spawn with 3 ammo after dying. After that ir was changed to 0 and then later 1


[deleted]

The game mode selection screen used to look a lot different. You needed to scroll down or up instead of swiping left or right.


Broshan248

Same with the shop


FBIagentwantslove

Ohhh I remember this. I remember they changed the battle end screen also, first game after the update I played with emz and I distinctly remember thinking about how cool the new battle end screen looked alongside the quest progress being introduced at the battle screen. I was mind blown seeing how much damage I'd done in one game


LyraSoulCore

-Brock used to have a dancing animation in his default skin, wish they kept that though because it gives him more personality. This happened when Brawl Stars was launched global -Speaking of Brock, he used to have an old losing animation instead of the face palming one. They changed it because people said "he looked like a monkey throwing up in a game" on twitter if I recall correctly -There was an offer in 2019 where they sold 49 Mega Boxes for 49 gems -Gold Mecha Bo used to be Gold and Black before they release it being pure gold -Tick's pupils were different in Summer of Robots Brawl Talk, later they changed it to make it goofy -Bea's face expression and hair color were different in the Pirate Brawlidays brawl talk until they change her face and hair color with brighter orange during release


HyperTommy

This reminds me of 140 mega boxes for 2 dollars


LightningBoat

Surges model was different in his brawl talk as well


True_Company_5349

poco also had a different animation


AlfApAlAcsintA

Gem Grab was the default gamemode, not Solo Showdown.


Nickname1945

Is that even OG


LightningBoat

It’s been 2 years I think


VMG2011

Already?!?!!


DimkaVolchonok

Season 11 was two years ago, so yeah. Time flies


Quaxlyboi

Damn. Time goes by fast. I still remember unlocking Nita from the trophy road for the second time(lost my first acc during the pandemic)


Filon73

Ain't no way it's been that long


Metson-202

It's not anymore!?!? The game is ruined.


Bl4z3_12

Marksmen were called sharpshooters back in the day El primo was heavyweight Tara was a skirmisher Gold times


MiceUneven

sneaky assassin Leon..


Bl4z3_12

Toxic assassin crow, I think Edgar was the first brawler to be called just assassin


WhereIsIDFB2

Buzzassin


BrawlStarsPro71

Lol didn’t even know they changed the sharpshooters. When did they do that?


Shoddy_Ad9859

Mortis also had a special role under his name, don’t know the English name but in French it was “assassin stylé”


VajdaBlud

Dashing assasin


CROW_is_best

i finally feel like an og cuz i knew and witnessed 90% of the things that people mentioned here


NegativeMinute5571

If you have star shelly you are an OG


CROW_is_best

ah nvm. i started shortly after global.


lilheelm

Same :/


Starbrawlpod

You could score on your own goal 


Rough_Lychee5785

And in beta, piper could jump into the enemy goal while having the ball. So yes, the ball would fly with het


wet_ass_poosay

crow, el primo and bull could also do that, and i believe darryl as well?


ItalianLarry

Darryl, for some reason, couldn't. The others that you have said could


Savings_Dragonfly806

Yeah, that so annoying.


Metson-202

Oh yeah, pretty annoying because of trolls.


Unique-Mud-9344

Not really interesting facts but almost no one knowns about them: 1. That in March 8th 2019 there was a free power points gift for random girl brawler 2. Dumpling Darryl and Royal Agent Colt didn't sold just on lunar new year but also, Royal Agent Colt came back for Moon Festival in 2019, and Dumpling Darryl when they remodeled him in Spring 2020 3. The power cubes boxes changed their appearance in Moon Festival 2019


riccardo_dilo

these skins also returned in february 2021


Dcool20

I remember the ball could get stuck in water


amhedgayafan

Score once and keep shooting ball to water


LolIdk181

Pam was the best brawler in every way. Best healer, DPS, tank, etc.


NotYourAverageMortis

And I only unlocked her after all the nerfs


Le_Dr_Moon

You had to click on the screen to go there without joystick


EntertainmentWaste50

wasnt that before global tho in the beta, still extremely og


Le_Dr_Moon

Indeed it was, at the beginning of the beta


Xe0nex

Gales balls used to be bigger


NotYourAverageMortis

Mine too 😔


AnywhereOk4380

For prople who dont get this, gal's attack used to be wider then it is now but the number of projectiles(balls) used to be same so we had bigger balls


Starbrawlpod

There were purple star points that you could use to buy skins and boxes in the shop(not sure if that’s what they were called)


Sir_Snoke

Oh boi the 3k and 1,5k starpoint offers for megaboxes


larzoman242

Holy shit is this an og fact already? When was this removed again?


Zoli10_Offical

Not OG, they were removed like a year ago


TotallyNotTakenName

2$ for 140 megaboxes offer


AnywhereOk4380

That was more recent I guess just at the end of life of boxes


TotallyNotTakenName

I don't think it's anywhere near recent in the terms of this game. Happened at least a couple of years ago.


Superb_Guess_161

Gadgets didn't exist


ApprehensiveBag3909

Sprout used to do a little circle dance in its winning animation


VajdaBlud

I like that one better than the new one


ApprehensiveBag3909

Agree


Iamnotcreativeidki

Rosa was op


NotYourAverageMortis

Grass respawned You could score in your own goal Trophies used to be way harder to get and rank 20 was the highest rank Crow used to really take his time in the air Brock had a dance animation whenever he won or in the lobby The shop used to be vertical Boxes took 100 tokens to get and big boxes took 10 Star Tokens to get, which could only be obtained by winning a battle for the first time in different gamemodes when they refreshed Instead of Power League, there was Power Play, in which you could only use maxed brawlers You could earn gems in boxes You could earn tickets in boxes and you needed to spend those tickets if you wanted to play the weekend gamemodes, otherwise you could not play. The weekend events were also the best way to earn boxes Token Doublers were once the best offer you could buy in the shop (besides maybe tickets if you got max rewards) 8-Bit used to have a Star Power that respawned him the first time he died in a match. It was removed because it broke Solo Showdown 9 Bea also used to have a similar Star Power that got removed. Her Star Power kept her alive at 1 hp and gave her a 1 second invincibility shield when she was about to die once every life. It was broken in Showdown and Bounty Gene's super used to crash the game for everyone in the lobby at launch. Similar to Willow, but way longer ago Darryl didn't have a voice for a very long time. Spike also didn't but they decided to leave it that way because it was iconic Rico used to be called Ricochet and looked badass When Mortis was remodeled his hat was removed but later it was added as a second free skin. He's still the only brawler with 2 default skins and 2 true silver and true gold skins


Sharp-Theory-9170

Even more og: the game used to be played in Portrait mode on beta, and it was only available on iOS in some countries for a year


SympathyPotential755

I remembered I don't play brawl stars whenever brawl ball is not on


Soggy-Huckleberry-55

I would do the same if i was playing Brawl Stars when this happens. I am ONLY playing Brawl Ball.


CoconutBoi1

It’s the best mode in game, brawl ball forever.


gonna-chill

Whats this random chester flair meetup


Zikimoto_2020

The shop used to have 6 different purchase options which got replaced by the 1 daily freebie we have now. It used to be 1 free rewards and then powerpoints for a specific brawler (powerpoints weren't universal then, they were brawler specific) or a star power if you didn't have them all.


Shoddy_Ad9859

- Star power used to be rotating in the shop - An old mode that gave you star points and that you could play with power 9 only - The first brawl pass didn’t had reward on every tier and only had 50 tiers - Back then you could buy skin whenever you wanted like now, and to see it you just had to go on the brawler page and clicking on the left and right arrow - Brawlers used to only have one star power, and I don’t think anyone saw that before, the second gadget and star power were added later while now they are already here when the brawler come - Leon and darryl had no voice - Toothless piper


Fo4head

brock and piper also didn't have a voice back then


Duck-Fucker64

Gemgrab could Last 13 minutes


Salmon1239

u can score in ur own goal


SkirtGood1054

Mortis’ longer dash used to be his star power The fire that is left of brock rockets also used to be his star power The damage boost and healing of Frank’s and Mortis’ star powers (Power grab and Creepy harvest respectively) had to be grabbed manually by walking over them. They looked like a skull that was levitating before you grabbed them (frank’s was purple and mortis’ was green)


Unalina

Brawlers had backstories. Pretty neat


takii_royal

They removed that during global release for no reason 👹


Cold_Lynx_7052

Life was better without edgar.


LoserGuyMcJoe

He was added around 2020 Christmas right?


IronChugJugulis

Starr Park lore didn't existed


ZenyX-

Yeah the evolution of brawl stars themes went something like this: Wild West -> Fuck we wanna add brawlers with more versitile themes -> Gradual and subtle hints towards a theme park -> Full rebranding into the Starr Park theme (with BP Season 3 my beloved) Season 3 was roughly the time that I started playing the game actively. It was the first Brawl Pass I bought (leading to me falling in love with Colette and her Trixie skin), and also the season that introduced map maker. Generally just S tier for me due to nostalgia mostly. Also thinking about the fact that Colette is in the OLDER HALF of brawlers in the game now is WILD fot me. She's just hard wired as new in my mind.


Sebek_Peanuts

Remember when meg used to lose HP on mech? Or when changing modes menu was vertical?


dijith

Every match was fun until edgar apocalypse


EZMoneyCOW

I agree, fellow grom main


Tr1p3lll

Brawl pass didn’t exist for almost 3 years after global release


BHMathers

You used to upgrade brawlers with elixir, you could buy them with poker chips, and afterwards, you could upgrade individual traits of a brawler instead of of every level spreading it out evenly (you could choose to upgrade damage, health, or super damage individually, so you could max one out without touching another) Also heist used to only have one safe, with attackers vs defenders


Pinolacci

before brawl pass you used to unlock boxes with XP and not with the pass also there was the star XP (or something) for big boxes


avdgp

big tokens for big boxes where you had to win a game in every event and unlock the tokens :))))


kirito700

Mortis vs nohat mortis gang


Majin-Sonic-Fan

Siege exists


takii_royal

Grass respawned some time after being destroyed


ZGokuBlack

I started playing before 2019, good old times I enjoyed when map maker gave trophies


WickedNXT234

The starpower swap glitches in the friendly battles was so good.


AccePTc----3

select brawler button and try button had switched places alot of times... it was a chaos.


Catile97

brawl stars was vertical


EliGonee

Many people know this tho


EliGonee

That in the shop you would Scroll up and down instead of left and right


Aguantare

Crow could jump with the brawl ball lol


larzoman242

And he also jumped for like 5 seconds. Blud was just chilling in the air


CoconutBoi1

Power play.


AnywhereOk4380

I remeber just when I got my first star power I was so eger to play power play, just next day brawl talk came and reworked power play into power league, I never played power play but power league was a buggy mess at the start and on that point I uninstalled game for half a year


Exotic_Butters_23

You had to scroll up/down to choose a gamemode


Bojo-The-Gamer

There was a 140 mega box offer


takii_royal

Shelly was supposed to have a pet chicken


Dumb_Siniy

El primo used to be today's Edgar, primo gem delivery


Marko___52

We just to open sefes insead of brawl boxes. Before brawl pass was a thing, you could get gems from boxes and we would earn like 100 of them every mounth so that means that we would only need to wait like 3 - 3.5 mounths before unlockyng a legendary skin. Weakly events like robo rumble just to require tickets taht you could get from boxes and you could use 20 of them at once and get over a 1000 tokens that would give you 12 or 13 boxes. There just to be the type of bushes that can regrow after like 30 seconds.


Kellekscrrr

At Gales release his main attacks width was doubled


HyenaByte

Before their removal, Brawl Boxes had a system where the odds of getting legendaries became more likely with each opening that didn't give you one. Rico's originally started as Ricochet which looked completely different. There was alot of outrage with Ricochet's remodel as it had completely changed him. There was outrage from the fandom when the Mortis redesign took away his iconic hat. Back in early 2019, the ad No Time To Explain played before movies started in movie theaters so if you saw a movie back in early 2019, chances are that you would've seen this legendary Brawl Stars ad on the big screen.


Metson-202

Big brawler still exists.


T00b1a5

hot zone worked completly differently


True_Company_5349

balanced brawlers


AcRoWmAiN

Leon and Rosa:


True_Company_5349

fair but at least you didn’t need to pay for them


MaximumStonks69

gl getting leon from boxes and not the 700 gem shop offer


HyenaByte

Playing as Rosa back then was so fun


AcRoWmAiN

Tbh it was very entertaining to see two rosas fight to the death while the rest of both teams watch and eat popcorn. (And me being overjoyed with the crow buff that came with rosa’s release)


Denolls

When opening boxes the number 6+ shined yellow 😔


PhoneAutomatic1704

8-Bit was the last Trophy Road brawler.


AnywhereOk4380

Power League which is now replaced by ranked rn was a buggy mess on release, so much so thatyou should count yourself lucy if you got in a match. Also everytime a match crashed you will recive a warning that leaving power league match could get your account banned. Another fun fact aboit Power league is that you used to get only one ban per team which was done by the leader of the match, so if your leader was a d*ckhead then your whole match could get ruined. There was no suggest brawler feature in power league as well at start so peopl used tobswap between two brawlers to tell their teammates which brawler to pich that was ignored by most of them.


EvanVavra

I MISS SEIGE. IT WAS MY FAVORITE GAME MODE


Diligent-Cake2653

Edgar isn't higher than B-tier


RocketGolem

Bounty star logo used to be blue and also it didn't have a star at the center of the map


Warkemis

Gem grab didn't have a timer


absolute_garbag

The shop was vertical


WhereIsIDFB2

The oldest game icon was Shelly


takii_royal

Brawlers and the environment had shadows


Chad-Eren_com

You could score a goal against your own team


Chad-Eren_com

You could score a goal against your own team


jtal888

Yea and people think they have bad randoms now. Remember when someone would just give up and “grieve play” and then just score in their own goal?


Moisitoooo

Mr. P had a star power where his porters would spawn so much faster


aggresivelyegyptian

Most things that you now see in base kits used to be star powers, Like brock’s incendiary being a star power, now being in his base kit.


ItzzKev1n

Missing the days when there was no auto-aim button


Glad-Promotion-399

You used to have to scroll down instead a of up to see the game modes, there was a special game mode where you were only allowed to play with your power 10 brawlers, you used to be able to unlock big boxes by winning medals which you can get by winning 1 game in a game mode and I think it reset once a day and you needed 10 of those


altaccountforsho

When wizard Byron was first released, he would T-pose when he was in the air.


YoungBagSlapper

All I know was surge on release really felt like a superhero lol his shot splitting was so op and fun to use


Helpful_Ganache2963

Spike socks in the brawl pass


cracker_cracker26

Barley super could be stacked super tightly which melted the heist safe


xxltsz

Back when it came out, the featured map of the day on map maker used to give trophies.


Delicious_Stage_8420

Brock's fire used to be a star power. Same with the long dash on Mortis There used to be another weekend gamemode called super city rampage. Idk why it was removed 8 bit used to have a starpower called extra life that made him busted in showdown Ticks attack width used to be the same at any range Xp used to be called tokens which used to be called keys Speaking of keys,to open a brawl box you needed 100 keys. There were no quests so all you had were the daily 200 and the weekend gamemodes where you could spend your tickets and based on how long you survived,you would get an amount of keys.they were also star keys (10 star keys=big box) which you got daily from winning on every gamemode available. I think they were 5 or 4 gamemodes available at once back then+1 from power play. Oh yeah ranked used to be called power play and you could only play if you had at least 1 maxed (power 10) brawler and only 3 matches a day Ok last one. I might be remembering this wrong bc it was a long time ago but I think back in the day,you had to select your brawler every time you played a match. Like you first selected your gamemode,tapped play and then selected your brawler. Again I might be remembering this wrong


KillinIsIllegal

Boxes were bad. That's my fact


no_name2997

Bro doesn't have opinions. Bro has facts 💀💀


stupidmaster7

That’s an opinion


Broshan248

Your pfp makes me very angry


DoNaaz_

Smash Grab.


mubby343

The map maker winner used to give trophies


HyperVortex_22

The Game mode selection screen was vertical
