Unpopular opinion: people are too obsessed with progression
The player base has a lot of players that are maxed out and that would like something new that changes up gameplay every now and then.
This sounds selfish but i think it's fair if sometimes a season shifts away from focusing on progression to focusing on something fun and diffrent. Even if after the season ends these power ups are deleted it doesn't mean the fun and time i spent enjoying them is deleted aswell.
I don't get why everyone is treating the game as a job when the point of a game is to have fun first and foremost. Unless you're a content creator ofc.
The reality is when you're maxed out or even if you're not that interested in progression there really isn't much to do in the game because currently matchmaking is terrible and bots are everywhere and the servers and performance are even worse. These events do in fact provide some fun and something to do while waiting for major updates to the glaring issues with the game and i personally find these nano power ups really fun I've spent some time trying to test every ability i got (3 per brawler is great) and it gives me more reason to open the game every day.
TLDR: not every single season should appeal to you and that's okay. Naturally some aren't gonna serve what you want out of the game and it's impossible to satisfy everyone every single time. And this is better than them trying to please everyone and ending up in a "a friend to all is a friend to none" situation.
Can't wait for the "defending the multimillion dollar company" comments
