The balance of costume brawl was terrible from the start, but this last Halloween patch just completely destroyed any that was left, and wrecked the competitive costume brawl scene. Not only are the new weapons severely overpowered, but the fact that they are gem store exclusive has turned this game into a pay to win game.
The mad prince one and the witch is bad enough them self, but both are just overshadowed by the kittening executioners axe witch is the most unbalanced ting ever to enter a competitive game! Its now impossible to play game of costume brawl without someone jumping in with the axe and taking over half the health of everyone close to him with one skill, and the skill even stuns and is on a 5 sec cd!
Most hardcore costume brawlers i know of has quit this game for good now because of this, and the rest are all talking about quitting too unless this is fixed.
GG Anet you have destroyed all that is left of e sports in this game with this patch!
You already took away my jack-a-lope form from endless mystery tonic last year for the sake of having all forums costume brawl accessible. Now you make it even more worthless in costume brawl with pay 2 win? Thanks A-net.

yeah, pretty annoyed about this. usually i’m quite excited about the weekly costume brawl invitational, but my team’s usual comp has been completely thrown out (we normally play owl/owl/pig/cat/candy corn).
forcing the player base to play executioner/axe was a mistake and i hope they make other options viable again. the underground costume brawl scene is fragmented by this new meta and i’m hoping that the balance patch corrects this before the prestigious mlg costume brawl championship tournament event next week.

Quite right. I play pig in this comp and I used to be so pro at playing the roaming bunker role. But not the executioner/axe build just destroys me. What a joke. Seriously. There are serious problems when the costume brawl invitational gets cancelled. We need a hotfix. My pig build is no longer viable. And the candy corn meta is behind us now
WTF ANET YOU SAID THIS WOULD BE AN ESPORT. FML

We thought it’d be useful to have a balanced team of tanky and damaging classes (e.g. similar to bunker guardian and dps mesmer/ele/etc. in tpvp), but currently everyone just runs full EXECUTIONERS teams. Theres no stopping them, they just spin to win!

[TUP] The Unlikely Plan
As an executioner user I am surprised no one has learned any counters to it yet. But I guess each fotm costume comes and goes and soon it will be replaced. probably from the christmas update.
Accepting any costume brawls to prove it’s balanced.
The real question is what is ANet going to do about all the farmers who abused the Executioner? Honestly they should have their winner crowns retroactively deleted, but I bet ANet will probably do nothing to punish them.
