Street Brawl is fantastic. The roguelike aspect of having to make do with what you get is so refreshing. Sometimes it leads to discovering new "builds" I would not have tried otherwise.

It also got me to try heroes I hadn't yet, so I've discovered that I really enjoy Geist and Pocket.

I'm trying to get myself to play normal matches too though, because hot damn does the map look better than ever.

And vote Silver, ya'll.

I love it and hate it at the same time.

It's whacky and fun and the legendary items are ridiculous.

However, since you can pick characters, there will be a "meta" even though it's random items.

A bunch of characters just absolutely start wrecking it if it gets past 3rd round. For example, Infernus at round 4-5 starts doing 200+ per burn tick and if you weren't lucky enough to get debuff remover, you just die

The new mode is incredibly addicting, the base rework is great and i like all the new characters, definitely a great update. I vote Celeste btw

I liked Deadlock before, but I'm more of a casual player so there was some pain playing full matches. I've always been really weak at the item-buying aspect of MOBAs.

Street brawl is perfect for me. Its really a brilliant way to learn what items do what in a very natural way. The UI and QOL changes they made are also so impressive.

It's just refreshing to see such a huge huge content update to a game. I've never been so impressed. Valve is the fuckin real deal.

New update is great. The patron and spawn area reworks are phenomenal. The new game mode is great when you only have time for a short game or just want a more casual game.
