Preface:

There have been several abilities throughout the game which the brawler entirely depends on, or is atrocious no matter how you look at it. Some of these abilities have been neglected for years on end, and even forgotten about altogether. I understand that the developers recently cited lack of time and resources as to why they don't address most of these abilities, but it's been such a long time that these abilities have been buried six feet under. With the sheer amount of changes I will be proposing, I absolutely do not expect all of these changes to be implemented in one update, but rather overtime:

​

*Also, I must add that these changes (mostly) disregard the brawler's overall current strength in the metagame.\*
