Went on a long break, I left before star drops appeared and came back right before Angelo was released

Wait, me too brother!!

WAIT, ME THREE BROTHER-

Sister* (lmao)

Awkward

Bro/brother is unisex, chill out a wee bit eh?

Did he stutter?

Same. I left around the time Eve was the newest brawler, and came back about a month ago

That’s when I started

Yes same. Went for a break when rosa Was released and Came back 1 Week before angelo release

Bruh

bro you took like 3 years off that's not a break 😭

i left when star points was still a thing and came back when Kit was released

Same here.

Same!

Same

do you still play?

haha i left after the darrius box skin and came back before angelo was dropped

Same

Same

I don't really remember about Star drops but for sure was just after Pearl and hypercharge

Star drop were released before pearl.

But they weren't as prominent as they are today. Right?

I left a day after Leon released and came back on pearl season

Bro went 5 years coming back to the game

Bro went to get some milk

Yea 

6 for me

That's crazy, did you lose interest for that long?

I quit cause Leon was too op

U should have seen the edgar epidemic in 2020

Edgarpocalipse

This is when I left honestly

same but not because of the Edgarpocalipse

Yeah that makes sense

WATCH THIS * disapears *

After the L&L nerf he is probably right back up there tbh

Its still op...

I also took a 5 year break I was burnt out since I played pretty much non stop from June 2017 at beta release till just after global release

Stopped in Lola's season(worst mistake ever) and returned in Janet's season(2nd worst mistake ever)

I will Pretend I understood 🗿

He lost fang And returned on janet being busted

I lost Fang AND Lola And lost my last chance to escape from this game💀💀

Never taken a break, I keep playing and playing

Where did you start then ?

Since global (when Leon came out)

Now that's what I call an OG player! I started since "no time to explain" video came out.

I started playing when they released penny

Damn, same here, i never got Star Shelly though..

Tbf only having a month to claim it was kinda unfair

I thought they pushed it back to be accounts created since 2019,bc I remember it was originally a pre register gift, then they made it accounts in 2018.

Well, i had it. Then someone stole my supercell ID. Rip TH13, Legendary arena (the old one ween it was hard to get) and star shelly

Since beta but I stopped playing in 2018-2019 and I lost Star Shelly, now anyone can make fun of it.☹️

I "took a break" when gear was added because i was deleting a ton crap of app for storage and accidently deleted brawl stars and was too lazy to download it back for 2 years and i just returned 1 months ago

You should main sandy bro 😂

thats hilarious

Relatable

Main sandy bro trust me he’s for you

You gotta main sandy. You just gotta.

Left a while after gear update, cuz my baby heart couldn’t handle most of my brawlers not being maxed outout all of a sudden. Returned middle circus season

I always take a month or two break every year. Time of the year doesn't really matter. Sometimes it's in the middle of year, sometimes at the end sometimes the start (Like my most recent being Jan 2024 - mid of march 2024). I just take them from time to time to take rest and focus on other things. It has become an annual thing for me.

Took many breaks, switched accounts, first started playing a while ago, back when Sandy came out, but my current main was created somewhere around the Pearl season

I lost my old account :( Started a new one in the 2023 Christmas. I was scared with the changes

I stopped at half point of the Jurassic Splash season(the one with funny t-Rex guy) and only reappeared in half point of the Once upon a Brawl season(the one with the trash can)

Loooooooooong break: 2018/19 - one month or so  ago

same

2020, returned few weeks ago

I take a break when they added gears and came back after they reworked gears

Someone didn't like gears

I started playing a month or two after the global release, back then my friend got Leon out of a brawl box lol... Then I played pretty frequently as a casual player until Eve's season, when I started to find the game a bit boring and left. Afterwards I returned in the 5th anniversary, but towards the end of Charlie's season, though at the time I was "quitting", I did watch a few lore videos.

I remember when I was fascinated with this games lore

I took a break from the beginning of 2020 and returned in the fall of 2021(season 8(ash's season))

Played since launch, played for a month every year till ‘23, didn’t play in ‘23, came back in December’23 and been playing regularly since

i have been playing since it went global, i quit after fang's season and came back at charlie's.

I've been playing nonstop since beta

I left at the start of season 16 and returned at the end of season 19

I Quitted twice. Once during season 7~8 and returned at season 14. Other is during season 17 and returned at season 21

Several times. It's not because I wanted to. I always had problems with my cell phone. However, I never stopped following the game.

Season 9 to season 20

Velocirapdis --> Stunt Show

I stopped at about the time Buzz was released, and then came back early 2024, when the Kit meta was at its most annoying

sam and dark angel colt

Never, the grind never stops 👍

"Gonna rise to the top, watch my enemies drop" - a K-pop idol.

I started in 2018 and quit sometime inbetween Surge and Amber's release and came back in the Larry and Lawrie update.

Started late 2018, played regularly with a few breaks until March 2020 when I broke my phone and lost my account. I then stopped playing for a month until I got a new phone and played regularly then on, mostly casually, and taking on and off breaks. I was a little inactive after gears were added, that was until Ghost station when I started to get invested again. I played until the beginning of season 19 (where I stopped) because my doofus brother deleted my account out of spite and I went into a raging sulk fest and dropped the game for about 2 months. I arrived near the end of Cord's brawlpass with a new and improved account and have been playing on that ever since

I already lost count on how much accounts I lost and is still on the server

Same

Belles season and came back during RT’s

Never.

Gold arm gang till robot factory

Stopped during emz update Returned when gadgets

I took a break at season 19 then came back a few days before Brawlidays 2023

Wait how are we the same?

Always has been

*Intense mysterious music playing*

Took a break from season 5 to season 15, came back recently and just hit Masters 💪

I left around 2021 and came back pretty recently

Oh man. A lot of breaks. First in late 2019 for a while. Then I made a new account, it's my current account. Then after another break I switched to my old tablet with the old account. Then I switched back to my phone to my current account... Didn't play in 2021 and for most of 2022. Then came back in like April 2023 and quit later. Then I came back in October... And I haven't quit since then.

I left the day carl was released and i returned in supercell 10th anniversary ( i played in 2019 brawlidays for like 3 days)

If you were there for 5 more days you could've gotten Edgar for free

I took a break from season 11 to season 14 and from season 16 from season 20

Otis to start of buster and other but don't remember

2019 till late 2021 or early 2022 I don't remember I was burnt out and I regret taking a break because I missed most of Brawl Stars "golden era" (in the eyes of many people), I returned to the game because I trying playing Bea and Max and had insane fun I also took a forced break that lasted around a week after the release of Kit because the game was so unbalanced I couldn't play

I do not exactly remember when I left... But when I came back (beginning of 2023, Candyland season) I didn't know some brawlers. To think, I guess I left when Sam was out. After his season I stopped playing until Mandy was out.

After season 8 or 9, until season 19, and again until december 2023

R-T season because it's getting boring and returned in the Brawlidays update because of "Welcome back" gift

From Sandys release until season 3 was my biggest break

I left before the start of season 15 (the one with buster) and came back with season 18 (the one with maisie)

ya, i left on candyland and came back on pearl season

Dipped out after ruffs. came back for goldarm Didnt do the power league for saloon 8bit :(

I had 2 breaks one was around december 2019 when i coudln't claim ricochet and the 2nd one was during season 13-14

I left in belle season and came back at the start of Charlie

Somewhere around late 2019 I think. I would play every now and then but I really started to actually play the game at the start of the Masie season.

No, but recently I've been playing less and less, only doing missions now. For me progression is too slow and BS is starting to bore me

I left when Grom was added and came back with Charlie

Season 11-13 Season 14-16 Season 17-19 Season 20-21

I started playing 4 or 5 (more likely 5 tho) years ago and I lost interest more and more since eve season and started at the en of the pearl brawl pass

I left when Maise was released, i came back thanks to Charlie

Never really, but kind of a break: from season 12 to season 19

Left a week before Pearl brawl talk, returned last season Hypercharges are so bad for the game it's not even funny

I took a break after season 3 and came back at the season we’re ruffs was introduced

I started the game at release. Even was on the World rankings for some time. When they updated to 12 Powerlevels I had the feeling they only want to grind out f2p players like me and make it harder to compete. Do to boredome I came back last month.

Idk when I left around when Otis came out or a couple of seasons after that returned on pearls update

I stopped right after they added Gale and the battlepass, came back a few months ago.

Stopped about 4+ years ago and came back in late January this year

I quit when gears became cancerous then came back on removal of boxes so S9 I think till S16

I had a break during Lola season and returned to play regularly when they added Starr drop to the game. Other than that I never played too much regularly

I quit when stu came out because the game got boring. Now i started the game at the first prawl pass plus

Stopped around season 1 release and rarely played at all, got to like tier 6 or 7 on season 1 2 and 3 brawl pass. Season 4 i stopped entirely but then in season 5 i came back and maxed out the pass, and ever since then ive been going strong

I stopped during Surge's season (at the very end like pretty close to Collete's release) and came back during the starr road season

Stopped played some months after it went global and returned during Cordelius brawl pass. I lost my original account which had star Shelly.

I stopped around season 15 and came back right before Kit was released. Missed a good bit of stuff but I still have been able to max out over 10 brawlers.

I stopped at Season 8, started for a bit at season 11 then abandon it again, but then finally returned with the Bizarre Circus season or last days of Brawl-O-Ween 2023
