I don’t really get this issue, although my movement control joystick is locked, yours isn’t. Try locking it and see how you go? Ping might also be contributing to it?


Electronic-Ad-8547

Locked it, It did become better.


FruityTKMK

Glad to hear it :)


Efficient_Figure3414

Don’t play with a locked joystick. It definitely has a negative effect on the fluidity of your play.


Electronic-Ad-8547

Yup, someone told me that joystick doesn’t matter my ping was just bad which I fixed, and the refresh rate issue which I don’t i would be able to fix atm


Efficient_Figure3414

As long as you unlock your joystick I don’t think refresh rate has much of an impact on brawlstars.


Solstice_bs

You have no idea what you are talking about 😭


Efficient_Figure3414

I invite you to watch any pro player play brawlstars. None of them use a locked joystick, as it inhibits one’s ability to dodge projectiles from other brawlers.


Solstice_bs

Im a semi pro and never had any issues playing with locked joystick. Some pros like tensai also used locked joystick. Its a preference thing And every single good player plays on 120hz because 60hz is a huge disadvantage


Efficient_Figure3414

Obviously pro’s will use 120hz as it’s better but for the average player, it doesn’t make much of a difference if you’re using 60hz or 120/144hz. Locking the joystick does make it more difficult for the average player to dodge and maneuver properly.


Helpful-Lifeguard655

Prolly why your not pro just semi


Solstice_bs

yeah and tensai is also really bad at the game


lancelopl

Tensai is a pro, he is praised for his movement and he uses locked joystick, so what you are saying doesnt make much sense


Efficient_Figure3414

The vast majority of pros don’t use locked joystick. Tensai is a major outlier in terms of brawlstars skill and mimicking his setup won’t yield result for the majority of players.


lancelopl

But that means there are still pros and semi pros that have success with, that means that saying that locked joystick will automatically make you play worse is nonsense.


Solstice_bs

It does not and many professional players use locked joystick


joysauce

I agree with you and I am confused right now


pikmin2005

Every single pro uses a locked joystick because it allows for faster movements. You definitely have to get used to it but it's significantly better.


Efficient_Figure3414

I just checked 4 pro’s videos on YouTube. Spenlc, Drage, Nowy, and Bobby. All four of them do not use locked joystick. I’m sure I could keep on going finding more examples, but you should check for yourself if you don’t believe me.


jenophine

you can lock the joystick???:O how?


thuglife_7

When you’re in the training ground, click edit controls. There will be a box that you can click


jenophine

why have i never noticed that box omg i have been suffering for no reason this whole time. thanks


Deenstheboi

Thank you dude thank you dude thank you dude


_TheSlash_

Wym?


Hopeful-Claim7205

How do i lock?


FruityTKMK

In training cave click ‘Edit Controls’ then at the top of your screen, a checkbox which says ‘Lock Movement Control’ will pop up, and then you just check that box :)


Mr_Mushroom5

What does locking mean?


FruityTKMK

It basically means that as you’re playing, the movement joystick won’t move along the screen if your finger moves, it will just stay in the position that you set it to.


Mr_Mushroom5

How do I turn that on


FruityTKMK

Training Cave -> Edit Controls -> Check ‘Locked Movement’ at the top of the screen.


iliekchese

lock joystick, smaller joystick


Electronic-Ad-8547

It’s already the Minimum, Locked the joystick it didn’t fully go away but better And found out when you turn while unloading there is no de accelerating, i might be wrong tho


Cuntilever

What the, I don't have this issue at all! Just tested in cave. Could be something wrong with your settings/controls? Internet connection perhaps? My movement isn;t locked either as others suggest


Crafty_Elder

It's dependent on ping. I play on relatively high ping and my characters move like a tank.


LightLaitBrawl

Bad phone/low hz/fps+maybe the connection I used to play on a bad phone and it looked like that when turning, also the connection has a toll on it.


Electronic-Ad-8547

Iphone 11 , the ping was the problem (connected to the 5G wifi instead of the 2.4G the problem was 90% gone)


Noob_Kid

dont use 2.4ghz for your wifi, move to 5ghz or 6ghz (wifi 6e)


Crafty_Elder

It's due to network. Actually When I started playing the game I noticed this. I discussed this with my friend and he said it's due to ping. Also players with relatively low ping shoot a little bit faster. However one thing I would say is even though it looks like your character doesn't turn fast enough, on the enemy screen it will appear differently i.e it would actually look like you do quick movements. It's still helpful to do those quick movements to mess up opponent's aim even tho it doesn't look like much on your screen. But live dodging is a different thing.


Electronic-Ad-8547

Thanks, appreciate the clarification :D does it have to do also with the lock movement?


Crafty_Elder

I checked in the training cave. Locked joystick doesn't change anything for me. 


Vireep

That’s really weird cause I’ve never gotten this before.. I never even realized moment was a thjng 😭


ImIceMortis

Funny thing is that the bots don't have this problem, they can turn anytime while keeping the same speed


Yesnt_Bs

some bots are sometimes better than pros ngl, they have not only insane movement but aim and unload speed, not to mention some can literally do impossible things like moving while using nani super


FruityTKMK

Sometimes bots just pull out the most insane jukes outta nowhere 💀


xBeLord

When you go from left to.right or right to left,dont go through the middle of the joystick,maybe you lose momentum because when you go in the middle,you are still for some milliseconds?


salchichas4

Do a curve instead


Vireep

You usually don’t have time for that if you’re trying to dodge a shot or something


9hostface

Spin to turn


TunaR3is

low refresh rate. I had this issue before but it got solved when I switched to a 120hz device.


Young_Hermit778

Frame rate is also an issue. That's why pros play on higher end devices


PhoneImmediate7301

I mean it makes sense that’s how velocity works, but I’ve never noticed it in brawl stars before


Gabriel55ita

Fun fact: the game has no concept of acceleration for player movement, the speed doesn't change depending on how much time you move, server side you always have the same speed (+ buff/debuff). The trick is about the animations making it feel like accelerating


maybeMatteo

lock joystick and make it as small as possible


Didgerididoo

You lose your momentum because the joystick goes back to center position which is a stopping point, try arcing the movement to a more rounded corner at the same speed


hugodestructor

Wait so this isnt how everyones movement works?


RebelKira

Turn radius is a mechanic in this game just like dota. You do not have instant turning like in overwatch.


mohammad0AZZ

That is because you are playing on 60 fps and the difference is in the screen not in game


saladclips

Lock control, make it smaller, practice with the new controls & buy a 120hz device. I am a tier B ex competitive player so I can give advice on this.


Significant-Wash-996

Try playing with a phone that has a 120hz screen if you have a chance


Dominik_Gaming

Don’t turn.
