Thanks for watching! Subscribe to stay tuned with this series!

This quality of video is by far better than most bs content creators. It paints very well the complexity of the game due to the behaviors of players and bs devs .

if im gonna be completely honest i dont remeber seeing a janet in a match in like the past year

6:38 Child using clown pin spoted

I love how he roasts Edgar mains at the beginning.

The amount of edgar i play in ranked is insane. I deserve jail time😭

I'm just glad the pro propaganda is over Janet mains can finally breathe from nerfs :D

I really like Janet because It's a Brawler that provides a lot of things to a team and you always feel like you are pulling your weight.

janet looks so fun and cheesy, flying and damaging while they cant do anything

The 2 problems that plague Janet atm is her low damage for being a Marksman in her class, you really can just tank a lot of her shots before she gets run over, and second is that her attack takes too long to scope further without her starpower which speeds it up by 33%, making it a necessity if you want to apply more damage and pressure

This video is so well made! Also high respect for avoiding click bait and actually making meaningful and intelligent content. I swear the million sub brawl tubers just make brain rot.

Janet brawl stars meta: 👎🏻 Janet rule (insert number) meta: 📈📈

Thank for making this video, it’s a great analysis on why my favorite and main brawler doesn’t receive the love that it should by most people..! You explained really well what might be the reasons behind her low play rate and I agree with most of it. Janet might not be the most played brawler but she still has a dedicated fan base! Some weirdos maybe, but also a lot of people that love her gameplay and I am one of them! However, I still need to specify some things! Yes Janet was released with the idea that she can be played in pretty much any matchup or game mode, but first we should remove Heist from this statement… She was decent at best in it when she was an S tier brawler and now it’s just unplayable xd. Then, with how the game has evolved, as a zoner with low damage output she is now very weak to tanks and assassins on maps where they are played and struggles a lot against hypercharges because of her archetype. Obviously this is emphasized by the fact she is on the weaker side right now and might change with a buff. I still can’t understand how people don’t like playing Janet. If you learn her limits, she can actually be played very aggressively since she is so evasive! And flying around the map cannot not be fun, right? Maybe it’s because she is more of a support brawler now with her low damage and people don’t really like support brawlers? I don’t really know but I still enjoy playing her and now she is at least playable not like a few months back, so I won’t complain that much!

8:00 Zoning is the act to keep opponents from not going to an area, not to clear areas.

0:03 Nah that Janet though💀💀💀

as a janet main (940) plz delete this video i was so happy to be the only one who plays janet now everyone just started playing with her😭😭

Janet is another example that I like to bring up whenever people discuss how "brawlers weak on release never recover on player rates". Both Ruffs and Janet were very strong on release and stayed like that for quite a while, yet their playrates were never that crazy and absolutely dropped once they were nerfed (or slightly nerfed, in Ruffs case) because, since they are boring and not crazy strong anymore, why continue playing them? Brawlers like Otis never recovered from their lowest point because they are just plain and boring, if not just tolerable to play, it's not because they are weak, they are BORING to the average player. Colette recovered from her lowest point despite being, arguably, the worst brawler in the history of the game on release, yet supercell won't talk about that. As for Janet, I understand why people don't like playing her. I personally find enjoyment in most brawlers in the game, I love Ruffs and Eve and I enjoy Lou and Otis all in all, but Janet, while tolerable, is a brawler that I generally try to avoid. She can do a lot of stuff but none are particularly rewarding, her gameplay is slow but unlike Eve or Ruffs there's never a moment where your efforts show big results (like pushing the enemy team back with your hatchling army or having all your team buffed and dealing high damage). Her controller aspect is unmatched, but there really isn't a moment when I play her and I'm not thinking "dang, I could be playing another brawler". Love your videos btw, as someone who thinks a lot about the game's balance and how the casual and competitive playerbases interact with it, it was like finding a hidden gem.

I feel like Janet needs a slight rework she’s basically unusable without the first star power and should come standard . Also since her specialty is zoning maybe decrease her reload speed by a bit. Her damage isn’t great and the fact you need to wind up her attack just makes you feel like you’re ticking the opponent.

From content from a creator with

Imo the reason she is super unpopular rn are her undertuned numbers. Back when she was released she was an S-tier Brawler for a very long time and even after a bunch of nerfs she still was fluctuating between A and S-tier. But somewhere in June 2023 (I think it happened around that time) the dev team decided she was meta for too long and basically killed her and she never got any significant buffs again. I really miss Janet meta, one of the Brawlers who despite being meta wasn't broken to deal with (at least after her first bunch of nerfs after release)

0:25 what did he do to you😭😭

One thing I would like to say, I don't see Janet as a marksman. Yes she does have the kit of one but the way he is played, I don't see her the same way as belle/Mandy/piper are. If anything, she is closer to brawlers like Lou, Lola and eve, who are meant to be brawlers specialist in DMG at midrange. Edit: I would like to suggest another class separate from marksman, brawlers with long range DMG potential. This is cuz maize, eve and gray, even if they have long range can't deal witlong range DMG dealers but are better at any mid ranger DMG guys. Yeas they will be ok with a marksman but they aren't in a advantage against them

Loved the video as usual i'm expecially liking the exploration of underutilised and often underated brawler (from the playerbase, the pros know what they are doing) and i always liked the consistent style of brawlers like janet, honestly when i get to the end screen with a 0 on my deathcount i feel very satisfied even if i'm not the star player because it means the you played well (usually)

Spike is simply the better damage dealer,controller,marksman,support,assassin,hybrid.

Data analysis and human psychology, man I love brawl stars

I agree pretty much with everything u said, but i dont think u elaborated enough in the "pushing back" aspect. Janet is, like u said, good in pushing back enemies slowly, forcing them into bad positions. This works in most game modes, but is VERY macro oriented which most folks dont particularly care about especially in a fast-paced game like brawlstars. Janets main advantage against other pressure appliers is her versatility, mid tankyness and escape tools. Pierce also happens to be extremely useful in pushing, since more brawlers into one spot doesnt mean she ll be as threatened like other brawlers who share a similar role. However, these so called "advantages" assume u already know how to zone/is zoning ur enemies, rather than making it easier, like crows poison. Here i need to mention buzz. Buzzs trait teaches players how to zone their enemies just by playing him. Janets kit assumes u already know everything of what ure doing. Janets main problem is that her role is often not recognized, most players dont even know it exists, and in the end it isnt particularly easy to learn or execute.

0:15 janet is loved by a specific rule online...

Surprised to see janet play rate lower than bonnie i thought bonnie is the most forgotten

Maybe because she went from being a S tier to F or D tier brawler and not getting a damage buff or hypercharge that other brawlers like belle, piper, Mandy, Nani, colt and Brock… Edit: I didn’t finish the video but I liked how you classify Janet as a defensive generalist who is best at zoning

I think people doesnt play her bc they dont want to show they are simp to janet i think 😅

Can u do a separate video on what generalist, specialist, aggressive and defensive brawlers are. How we can classify each brawlers and how they are related to each other/how each class can counter each other? That would be good

I would actually start playing Janet again if her damage was increased to 2000 like most other brawler

And literally Janet is my #1 used brawler these days lol

I was thinking on picking up Janet once I get to ublock her, the few gameplay I've seen and played felt fun. I'm thinking in more about it (but I still have the op brawlers to max first), the tactical gameplay is fun to me as well. And also, amazing video, I love these documentary style, of any game. I'll watch all others noe

“Erm, 1 minute and one view? Bro fell off” ☝️🤓 (Janet fell off)

This video made me realise why Janet is a skilled and unique brawler compared to other brawlers, changed my view on Janet and analysing her made me understand more about her

i was so invested i didnt realize this dude only had 3k subs def deserves a lot more👏

I quit this game for a year and came back recently. I still thought Janet was broken and I somehow pushed her to rank 30 😂. Then I realized that she was literally in the D tier. I don’t think she’s actually as bad as people think though imo. Btw great vid

Хорошое и информативное видео,продолжай в том же духе!

I really like the way janet can dodge so many things, thats also why i main her

Janet’s attack is only slightly more than Poco. That’s wild.

I played them a little bit of Janet during mutations. Duels was fun cause you play Stu first, either win or die, and go into Janet with a free super, bombing the opponent a bunch and landing for a free kill

You should make a video on Chuck. He was such a hyped brawler and then got quickly forgotten. I like playing him, but he really needs something else to be playable outside heist and two gem grab maps. When Chuck got first released I thought he'd be another Mortis in the fanbase, because of his design and versatile mechanics, but he's just so awkward to play that people didn't feel like learning his kit, which sucks tbh... I think he's pretty unique.

As a Janet main it's so sad that she's so underrated,she's a pretty skillfull brawler imo

the surge one is so real like who doesn't like surge and he's mechanics

You’re are so underrated! You’re are very good Bs KZfaqr! Keep up the good work.❤

Me as janet lover: spain ➡️ pain

Ah December 2023... I took a break since everyone just plays Fang religiously. I used to be able to carry the team with any brawler even off meta pick by giving positive trade. But this very skillful button mashing brawler can just team wipe you using super and hypercharge combo. Truly an experience!

I love the Stunt Show Update and I think Jant should be one of the next brawlers to get a hypercharge :( She deserves it

Yeah this video is unique unlike some creators just put the video like 10 worst brawlers or 10 forgotten brawler where they just pick random brawler and play 1 game with it

Janet Is One My Favorite Brawlers, And Seeing Her In The Bottom Of The F Tier Is Honestly Pretty Sad. They Need To Buff Her Main Attack.

Morale of the story: if you try to be good at everything you mid at everything

10:03 не ошидал увидеть нашу крымскую няш - мяш

Title: "Why no one plays Janet" Me, a Janet main: Am I invisible?😢

In my opinion, they should allow her to recharge shot and heal while in the air, like Mico can

People play Janet due to skimping but now cuz of Melodie no one plays Janet anymore.

Here's some more buff concepts since all seemed to like the Bull one buff the fully focused attacks range to 9.75 at max focus. High note deals 1157 damage, the closer the opponent is the more damage it deals(Up to 200%) Rework Stage View into Rocket Girl which allows her to drop a bunch of bombs as opposed to some. (Like her mutation but not as broken) Vocal Warm Up: 30% faster focus and increased damage based on focus Give her a Mythic Gadget called Peek Performance that replaces Stage View's abilities this was quite a brain boggler to come up with. I really hope you enjoy what potential this gives her for area denial.

I love this type of content first Second, I am a janet main, ppl just think Janet mains are simps or kind of this, but like the techniques or strategies with janet are insane when she was in her prime, a mid range controller brawler, decent attack and ok super, maybe not the flashiest brawler but these type of controllers or just simple abilities just do not serve community anymore they just like just aggressive and flashy brawlers, and the newest example is lily just sad about og players with good mechanics And pros really appreciate these type of brawlers which is fine I guess

Think Janet could use a rework to her super, maybe allowing you to cancel the super mid flight or be able to take flight multiple times kind of like how Melodie gets 3 dashes. Maybe increase movement speed so she can compete at longer ranges, and be able to outrun tanks and hypercharge agro idk. Maybe a slight damage increase or a reload speed increase.

I got Janet like 2 weeks ago and pushed her to 812 just cause I liked her. Imo she’s a very balanced brawler but not as good as she should be.

SMASH....next question .

I came back to brawl and she is still my favourite but really impossible to play well if someone plays janet its gonna be always me

Bro, my first mastery title was on Janet, but I'm still playing her💪

Imma be honest, I play surge not because I think he’s cool, it’s because jumping on people makes dopamine go up📈

great video!!

The main reason i hate janet is cause the fanbase ruined her 💀

great video keep it up!!

i only play janet with one hand

honestly i still play her sometimes in gem grab ive used her all the way through mythic but she is downright unplayable in other modes maybe only bounty

This is the problem with brawlers that are a “jack of all trades”. They’re amazing if they’re really good, but if they aren’t they’re really bad. almost no in between. She doesn’t have a specific mode she’s best or worst in, so other brawlers outclass her in every mode because she’s just in the middle

i might be the only person having janet's title and actually maining her

My guess why she has so low use rate is because you can literall sleep without even knowing while playing her

I find lou so fun, I don't care if it is bad or anything. Stunning enemies is so fun, and with the hypercharge, you and your team can teamwipe, and if you play it right, you can get 2 supers with the same hypercharge. Also, idk why people say lou is bad, when the star power can half enemy damage.

Us as a brawl stars community has to give Janet and Otis another chance😭😭😭😭

Are people still confused as to why Janet is not being used? It's simply because she's weak. She needs at least a damage buff.

Not only did you explain Janet's use rate, you also explained why star drops succeeded. That's kinda crazy.

Marksman are my favorite category of brawlers.

The video is very cool, the author is underrated as Janet, but I would like to see your ideas on how to fix this in such videos. (Sorry if there are any mistakes, I'm not a native English speaker)

nother good vid

As an old player who just returned to the game and got Janet recently, I say that her playstyle feels very clunky. It gives me the awkward feeling of playing the old Mortis without the long dash update or maybe even worse. I mean compared to other marksmen such as Piper and Bea, unlike them, her basic attacks take time to focus but the range and damage is mid. Her ultimate is unique but it lacks the freedom to properly bombard the opponent since it takes accurate timing and precision to match your flight to the opponent’s movement or else you won’t be able to maximize the damage. What’s worse is that her gadgets and star powers are just designed to fix her kit, they do not give her any remarkable features or any significant additions to her playstyle.

She’s really fun to play though so I love her 😊

The reason why Janet and around 60% of all brawlers have a low pick rate is because we have brawlers like Kit, Piper, Brock, Mandy, Sandy, Surge and etc that are insanely broken making it either play meta or loose.

great video!!! i like janet

lol I mained her until rank 20 yesterday, she's so good, I don't know why no-one plays with her😭 she's so fun to play

Edgar mains catching strays

I challenge myself to master Janet as fast as possible and I mastered her in 1 day

I think she should just deal more damage with her attack, drastically higher with her super bombs, and have way less health

Pushed power 8 janet to 760 by using jump gadget in duos

I'ma be real. I've rarely encountered a Janet in a game but Bot-controlled or not, her super is stupidly easy to kite (just move in circles and no damage lmao)

Isn't it always better to pick a brawler who specializes in the gamemode you're in over Janet? I feel like that's the main disadvantage of being a generalist

I like the format of your video, but calling Janet "marksman" and comparing her to actual snipers is a mistake imo. She fits much better role as "Controller" as zoning and checking bushes is her speciality. She literally gets outranged by actual snipers and cannot be used to "snipe out" specific targets. Supercell messed up brawler classes once again and now people perceive those brawlers in a wrong way...

I mastered Janet literally 2 days ago Yes at her worst time to play her

I think after Frank they have to rework her too

People were not that hyped for Janet? I could swear literally everyone was talking about her and Bonnie back then, i knew who they were even tho i didn't even play brawl stars back then

I have janet, I always play with her and she is my fav but it's hard to shoot and It's hard to manag her superpower

She was pretty played in 2022-2023

i would like to play janet, but dont have her :(

This is why i like janet not an agro brawler that rushes in and does big dmg you actually need to play slow and uae your brain

Same goes to buster (gotta play her then)

To me Janet is a bad combination hybrid Poco( screeching solo/tuning fork)and Angelo for training wheel( Less skill marksman players learn how to aim.).
