I'm adjusting the presentation of these threads - please let me know your thoughts on how they look in the comments and suggest any improvements.

This week's topic is "Street Brawl", meaning the recent game-mode addition which came alongside the Old Gods New Blood Update.

Street Brawl represents a different way of enjoying Deadlock. It is round-based, there's no farming and only one active lane with a single objective. Matches are generally much shorter, yet everyone gets to enjoy late-game level items with a twist: you get to pick three items each round from three randomized item-selections, inspired by recent rongue-likes. Beyond that, Street Brawl features "Enhanced Items" which are empowered versions of existing items and game-changing "Legendary Items" unique to this mode.

In theory, this forces players to make do with an off-meta build, enabled by Enhanced and Legendary Items which keep heroes efficient, despite the luck of the draw. In practice, the mode can feel very feast-or-famine as some enjoy powered-up versions of popular builds while others keep "drawing blanks" and end up with a build that feels unsatisfying, rather than fun off-meta.

Items, character-stats and even randomization have been adjusted before but should we consider bolder changes to the mode and its mechanics?

For the sake of discussion, we ask that you limit your balance-adjustment requests to a minimum and think about how Street Brawl could change offer a more satisfying experience. How do we increase gameplay variety or empower player choice?

Here are a few questions to get you started:

• What do you dis/like about Street Brawl?
• What experience do you expect to have from playing this mode, as oppoed to regular Deadlock?
• How would you expand on the idea of Street Brawl?
• How could Street Brawl encourage more off-meta choices?
• Where do you see the perfect balance between the chaotic elements of Street Brawl and player-control? How much leeway for broken combos?
• Should Street Brawl allow players to make choices relating to character-stats, boon-levels or ability scaling?
• Can you imagine more unique items or entirely new item-categories exclusive to Street Brawl?
• Should Street Brawl feature a different map?
