can we keep black market brawlers

I love everything about this game mode. the minion upgrades, the new items (Trickster's Glass is so stupidly fun to use, especially when it doesn't work right like if you clone Arclight )

let me keep it forever please, this game mode is so fun

I wonder if this was Riot's chance to experiment with a bunch of posssible items wholesale. I like a lot of them, of course balance might be a bit finicky.

If we kept the monsters you can get with Krakens then I think I'd prefer to have those on Twisted Treeline. But it's fairly safe to consider that many of these items are here not just for the sake of fun but also for testing out bringing them to the Rift. Just don't expect all the items to stay and don't expect any to come back until the preseason unless something goes incredibly well balance-wise.

a lot of the items are op. a tweaked version dead mans plate could probably fit into the game with less efford, but there is no way typhoon claws would make sense keeping. considering how they overly synergize with a handful of champions. vayne and kallista are absolutely ridiculous with them.

the tank item to share damage would be a horrible idea aswell. it would make champions that are intended to be squishy suddenly tanks for a couple seconds, only taking 40% damage.

but the brawlers themselves would make a nice addition to the game. it adds a whole new layer of strategy to summoners rift.

for example you dont always want to upgrade your minions, if you want the enemy minions to push in so you can farm more easily and the opponent loses cs. at the same time, its a gamble. if the enemy team pulls a decent play, they would be able to push much easier off this advantage.

imo it needs the addition of the rule, that you cant upgrade brawlers while youre dead. and they may have to find a way to tie the currency into the game where they dont risk making the game too snowbally.

but i like the concept. and i want it to stay.

maybe they can make the brawlers grant a little more gold than normal minions in return. so a team thats ahead wont totally overrun a team thats behind.

or every brawler killed takes a second off the kraken counter. so a team thats behind in krakens doesnt get too far behind. a small advantage should remain, but the main advantage should come from spending the currency on the right minions at the right time.
