"only brawler that has never been super popular and OP" well, I kinda disagree. People who played during season 5 know how broken his unload speed was.
i remember buying his bp and playing him for about one day when he was op. Day after he was nerfed to the ground and I wasn’t even trying to push him more than 300 trophies lol
@@pipysnipy5929 yeah, tanking 6000 DMG, back when tanks had like 8k HP, sounds balanced. When you played anything without having many hitpoints you we're just dead and did not have the reaction time to do anything about it.
@@oltimos8888he just hasnt had a touch up in forever, hes still extremely solid pick, honestly better than most pure supports like Byron. His hypercharge is going to be busted when he gets it for sure
"never been super popular and op" My guy, during his season ruffs players would camp in bushes and right as you got in you'd get 3 shots unloaded into you instantly
Of course theres comments like this already, but Ruffs has been in my top 5 for over a year now. Enemies just dont know how to deal with him since hes not played that much, which means easy kills for me. Ive thought about pushing for his mastery title, but theres better titles to do that for
im pushing his mastery title. I think its badass and his player icon too. Just imagine getting on a game and seeing "Colonel" knowing damn well it's ruff's title and him being the most forgotten brawler
I just downloaded and started playing this game and I’m gonna buy him and make him my main idc if he’s not the most popular I like him and I feel like using him i love dogs ❤
i got him r32 yesterday vbecause of the mutation in literally 2 hours from r25 and i have 1 more r30 and thatrs buzz but im top 3 ruffs in greece lol at 20k trophies
My in game username is Colonel Squishy, so I wanted Ruff's title. It was a VERY painful grind but I managed to get it and I've only played Ruff's a few times since getting his title
One small mistake you've made was about his super "healing" the unit whoever picked up his super. This is not true. While yes it kinda heals, it's not exactly healing? His super buff does 2 things: increases dmg and increases max hp. So when picking up his buff, you're not exactly healing, you more so get hp because your max hp increased, if that makes sense. So let's say you lost 20 % of 5000 hp. When picking up his super, it will change 20 % lost hp to whatever your max hp changed to. Also yeah ruffs is just boring. His super being a meteor is cool, but that's about it. I would say change back to fast onload speed, just not as fast as it was on release, then maybe he'll become a more fun brawler to play.
he's just not fun its as simple as that what is his gimmic? he has a super that drops a power crate. and u lose it after dying one of ur star powers (the 30 hp one) sux ur other star power is mid at best since its not anything much ur 2 gadgets suck ur a support brawler so ppl aren't gna play u as much in showdown which is fine but its def gna lower the rate ur main attack is being a knock off rico i don't play as much so i can't rly think of other things rn also he's rly boring to play
Why is half the video dedicated to comparing Ruffs to brawlers he isn’t even competing with? Comparing the super to primos is wild, they are vastly different brawler and the only similarity between the super is a circle AoE. Ruffs isn’t a long range brawler either, so comparing him to Piper is a nothing burger. Ruffs also does not heal, he increases max HP. Therefore the points you make about being outclassed by Gene and Poco are strange, a better argument would be that increasing max HP does not make a huge difference and healing brawlers works better in the current meta. Making Ruffs less meta. Comparing to Rico is valid in some ways, but you fail to understand the fundamental differences in them. Rico is not better because he has a longer range, he is better since he’s good at his role: Dealing damage at longer ranges and around corners. Ruffs is not good at his own role, being a support that increases damage and max HP. A case can be made for boring gameplay, but that’s subjective. Although worth mentioning But in my opinion, his flaws lie in a kit that doesn’t fit. A super that drops a boost for teammates should be used where teammates can easily pick it up, for it to deal damage is a nice bonus but just makes less experienced players mistake it for an offensive option. The problems mainly appear in the star powers and gadgets: The Take Cover gadget works as a nice shield for tanking a shot, it’s nothing special. But could be improved by all three appearing in front of Ruffs instead of 2 being behind him, often not tanking for anything. Most other gadgets that are used to tank shots (Bea, Spike) have some other utility. The Air Support gadget is strange, like why does Ruffs have a shitty area control ability? Nothing in the rest of his kit is about area control. This needs a change Field Promotion is an awesome star power, but 30 HP is nothing. Especially at level 11 since it doesn’t scale with level (which the sandbags do, everything should follow that example) A small buff and this star power is really good. Air Superiority however… this star power js so… bad. Dealing 120% more damage (more than doubling it), is useless. Yes the damage is then a little above 4k, but I think the fact that the damage of the super is not even shown in Ruffs info tab is telling enough that it’s not supposed to deal damage. And since this thing is so easy to dodge, good luck getting any mileage out of your 120% increased damage. The useful component of the star power lies in the wall breaking that it also brings the super. Buuut, did we forget that Ruffs likes walls? His projectiles bounce off of them, increasing range and making them harder to dodge. Additionally, this creates incentive to drop the super on enemy territory, cause 75% of the time, you want the enemy walls down. What does this do? It makes it harder for teammates to grab the power up This video could have been an interesting analysis, but the lack of research, effort and game knowledge shows here. Stop pumping out videos and spend some time developing a solid conclusion with stable arguments
"only brawler that has never been super popular and OP" well, I kinda disagree. People who played during season 5 know how broken his unload speed was.
He was really good in season 5. He was SCARY good
i remember buying his bp and playing him for about one day when he was op. Day after he was nerfed to the ground and I wasn’t even trying to push him more than 300 trophies lol
i kinda miss how fast his unload speed was cuz that was the only thing i found fun about him
You’d just tank 6000 damage in half a second
@@pipysnipy5929 yeah, tanking 6000 DMG, back when tanks had like 8k HP, sounds balanced. When you played anything without having many hitpoints you we're just dead and did not have the reaction time to do anything about it.
Ruffs was broken during Season 5 and Seasons 11-12 and very good right now
Even better now
Most satisfying thing to do as a ruff main is when an edgar jumps to you so you put the super and with the knockback kill him
my favorite strat
yes sir
Ruffs is actually kinda meta now
He's always been a near meta pick because he supports the best brawlers like Leon and larrie lawrie.
@@arnnoodles8028 nuh he fall off last metas
yeah but people find him boring@@arnnoodles8028

@@oltimos8888I mean I’ve been winning with him in quite a few maps in ranked at legendary 2, I’d say he’s pretty good.
So people ditch the guy that can make every brawler have 10000 hp
Yea but it will take like the whole game
Now when he has mutation, he is like one of the most popular brawler in mutation mode and Godzilla mode. I pushed him to rank 31 btw.
fr him and rico in mutation modes are absolute beasts like I hate dealing with them 😩😭
"When he came out, he honestly just wasn't really all that special." - Funcional, 2024
at first he said this but the opposite a minute later
2:45 "pretty underwhelming"
when i pick up a ruffs super i go crazy and get multiple kills
as a ruffs main its underrated
Same
i am also one of the few ruffs mains
I don't even main him, but man, he can be so broken, specially since the damage buff.
how do you consider to be ruffs main?@@VictorLdVS
i just started to use ruffs and hes really good he might be my main
I remember how i was trolling edgars with this guy, he literally destroyed them in under half a second
Happy to have Ruffs as one of my "12 Wonders" (my 12 favorite brawlers who are maxed out and I play a lot in Competitive). So underrated brawler
"never been super popular and op"
My guy, during his season ruffs players would camp in bushes and right as you got in you'd get 3 shots unloaded into you instantly
Its weird that im a Ruffs Main?
i am too, ruffs is just underrated man, hes honestly really solid
Same here to
How is Ruffs a healer? His super just adds hp, it doesn't heal
anything that buffs or heals a teammate is considered a support brawler bc it helps your teammate
Ruffs became the least use brawler in the game, and I have his mastery tittle XD. My favorite brawler but is just good with good teammates.
Meanwhile us Ash mains😔
me same! I even got trash tier title 🫠
Don't worry boys our main will sky rocket when he gets a hypercharge
@@dimitarsarvivel8194nah it’ll be something lame like double hp rats
This guy be cooking with these video💥💥🗣️🗣️🗣️
so nobody gonna talk about Meg?
nope she sucks
Yoooo, good video.
I am a ruffs main, and he was even good before the buff, now he is op
Mutations: lets get this dude some attention shall we
His pretty underated right now
He is my main
I’m a Ruffs, Hank and Doug main. Am I rare?
Probably
DEFINETLY A DOUG HANK main alone is super rare considering they are really bad
@@user-sz6kz7zw2s doug isnt bad anymore
@@user-sz6kz7zw2s doug not anymore

Man Ruffs is Underrated

i think you just play in low trophy ranges. its like playing against rico. watch walls, watch the gadget.
im pushing his mastery title. I think its badass and his player icon too. Just imagine getting on a game and seeing "Colonel" knowing damn well it's ruff's title and him being the most forgotten brawler
It was strong when it was first released because its ability to unload all bullets in less than 1 second
What’s the site where you can find usage rates?
I just downloaded and started playing this game and I’m gonna buy him and make him my main idc if he’s not the most popular I like him and I feel like using him i love dogs ❤
Actually underrated brawler
Ruffs is basically austrian painter
By colonel Ruffs command!🔥🗣️
Tomorrow is my birthday and I want that ruffs gets a big buff
Sometimes the super is just skill issue like the kids who hype up mortris only to be bad
Ruffs is my main, and I can say he’s really good if used on the right maps and in the right ways
Brawlstars forgot all rounder brawlers since you can choose more overbuffed versions of them
Ruff mains right now:🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
i got him r32 yesterday vbecause of the mutation in literally 2 hours from r25 and i have 1 more r30 and thatrs buzz but im top 3 ruffs in greece lol at 20k trophies

Pov : i have him rank 27 and he is my main
Tf are you talking about? When i take ruffs, I'm untouchable.
Can u make one about leon
He is my main and i have even the ronin skin,in game everyone watch me like im a ghost.
Fun fact: i have ruffs at 500 trophies but literally 0 mastery points, not kidding
hes so boring to play tbh
I keep using him
He is mythic and most people don't even have him. And he used to be chromatic
Ruffs? Forgettable? Have you forgot about uuuuuuh trash can guy that smashes the ground idk I forgot about him
Everyone: Ruffs sucks
Me after carrying my team în brawl ball, consistently hit my Super and hiting angled shots: Huh?
ruffs is underrated and fun
Bro really said 'colonel ruffs' instead of kr'n'o'l 😭🙏
He low-key is decent tbh yes he can support brawlers but his play style is kinda slow and boring but he definitely isn’t bad he’s just mid

Bro ruffs is my favorite brawler
I regret getting ronin ruffs
Ruffs is my side main..
Good video, but PLEASE colonel is said curnul not colono 😂
For me the best buff would be return back to the season 5 C. Ruffs
get him the old unload speed and buff field promotion and you have got an s-a tier brawler, he es not bad at any means, just not very good
The players weren't PRAWN READY 🗣🔥🔥🔥🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐
Ruff was supposed to be kit but kit came in 2023 ❤explaines why the 2021pic with cat feet❤
Ruffs user here
damn
Colonel ruffs ❌ cologne L ruffs ✅
Tell me when you've last seen Griff i didn't see him for so long that i thought: "is he deleted or smth?".
he's just not fun its as simple as that
what is his gimmic? he has a super that drops a power crate.
and u lose it after dying
one of ur star powers (the 30 hp one) sux
ur other star power is mid at best since its not anything much
ur 2 gadgets suck
ur a support brawler so ppl aren't gna play u as much in showdown which is fine but its def gna lower the rate
ur main attack is being a knock off rico
i don't play as much so i can't rly think of other things rn
also he's rly boring to play
THat's funny cause he's my favourite brawler, no actually
i main ruffs on my alt 😆
Ruffs has become the cannon cart of brawl stars.
I do barely play Ruffs
Jimbo sad
I still use it tho
He is good brawler but so much boring too play.
why? He has good damage why is he boring to play?
Rousting Ruffs the video
ruffs deserves a buff AHHHHH
He already got a buff
As a ruff main hes ok in damage but maybe instead of 1400 per bullet make it 1500 and have fast speed
@@punchthecake82 No. He is already top 20.
he a good brawler its just that he’s pretty boring
@@punchthecake82 yeah and maybe buff the 2nd star power cause the wall breaking one is always a go to for any ruffs main
Ruffs is good
Do p2
So sad
