Oh hey, a Deathmatch mode, with some twists.

Cool, just like Escape from Braxis, this one's looking very interesting.

[Dejo93 1,023]

This looks very cool

[ArusVicious 156]

It looks interesting. I’m not too sure about it, it seems like it might be a very one sided brawl though. Get the objective and it’s an instant win... I really do hope it’s not one sided. The potential for comebacks in this game isn’t what it used to be, especially when assasains kill each other within 2 seconds, and supports can’t do as much as they used to. A one sided brawl is not something we need to bring to the game. But, I have hope. I’ll try it first, then judge it.

I liked escape from braxis and I liked this even more! 
so much  fun and unpredictability. I hope they make more of this in the future.
and better, I hope they make a 5 vs 1 mode like they did in OW. Now this will be epic.

Most brawls are one sided to some degree, its the nature of the gamemode, but the games end so fast its not really an issue. The objectives of this brawl seem fine imo outside the ravenlord tribute, thats literally autowin once you capture it, ofc the channel can and should be interrupted but still it being such an "instant gg" objective is fairly obnoxious.

One of best brawls we had.. personally i think brawls should be something fun and casual and they should take less time than normal matches...

some of current brawls are really looking like normal matches with addition of some stuffs or some rules like mage brawl  so they take much time and aren't something new and much interesting for players

some may be not funny for all(most which looks like normal games) and also that new PVE brawl... it was good but not casual because as I remember people were caring much about win since u had to win to get chest and that caused having strategies and people were insulting each other(there wasn't a fun atmosphere however brawl was good itself,maybe it could be a new gamemode not a brawl haha)

I just feel this and chromie/stitches brawls(I don't remember others right now sorry) were very funny and they didn't need much time to complete and they were so interesting with new ideas behind them

[SteveFrost 97]

Certainly looks nice and interesting. They're making so many new ones. The downside is, with so many available, you have no idea when a brawl you like will be.

[Leadblast 28]

As long as you don't get Probius. I still think this is rather lame anyway. Just a Team Deathmatch? Weak.

 

Chromie/Stitches were the best Brawls lol. No comparison with this...

I revoke my last post... this braw is awesome. As awesome as it is though, can't beat pull party for me. That brawl was awesome.

[Drachar 45]

Really good brawl in my opinion.

[Valhalen 1,484]

I tried it yesterday and it is one of the most fun Brawls so far. With the randomized objectives and Heroes, it becomes pure mayhem. I just hope that the Lost Vikings and Abathur are part of that Hero pool.

[VegaPl 88]

It is rather fun, but I wish it would take a little bit longer than it does now. Some games are so short that it takes almost the same amount of time for queue + loading screen and character select. So double HP or sth like that would make it more interesting (for me).

Still, escape from Braxis rules.

I hope not, specially in the case of Abathur. Well, I don't really care anyway since I already got my free loot chest. But 10 Abathurs would have been retarded as hell. Sure each of them gets a hat but there's no point on it if they're not moving from base anyway.

Awww, c'mon! Slappathur FTW!

I had the all Varians version, which me and my team at the time ended up winning. You can guess which heroic was the most successful.
