Brawl Stars is one of the most popular mobile games. Available on both Android and iOS, the fast-paced 3v3 game lets you enjoy multiple game modes which last no more than 3 minutes.
You can choose from a variety of characters called Brawlers, each of which have unique abilities.
Recently, Supercell, the developer responsible for making Brawl Stars, started a campaign a couple of weeks ago asking users which Colette skin they would like to see in the game.
And after two weeks, the company declared the result with Gladiator Colette by Francy Artist as the winner.
The campaign result infuriated many users since Gladiator Colette managed to get only 5K votes compared to Broken Timeline Colette with 44K votes.
Players lashed out their frustration on Twitter and Reddit and asked Supercell why they ask users to vote when they clearly don’t want to listen to the community.
Dani, the Brawlstars Community Manager, quickly clarified why they decided to choose Gladiator Colette as the winner when it clearly had fewer votes than other skins.
While hurling negative comments on Supercell, players also tagged Francy Artist, the winner of the competition.
Following the hate comments and negative comments, the artist has now deactivated his Twitter account. He also announced that he is now working at Ocellus Art as a concept artist.
We are sad to hear that Francy Artist received backlash even though none of it is his fault. It is Supercell who made the decision.
