Summary

Brawl Stars Update 70 Balance Changes have been leaked by many creators.
Gus gets a lot of nerfs along with many other Brawlers getting significant balance changes.
These leaks prove that the current meta will shift a lot next month.

With the next Brawl Stars season arriving soon, popular content creators have started teasing Brawl Stars Balance Changes November 2026 leaks already. These balance changes will be deployed when Update 70 rolls out next month, starting the next season.

Gus and Shade's presence in the meta will no longer be present thanks to them getting a bunch of massive nerfs, which is ironic considering they're the centerpiece of this season's Brawl Stars Brawloween Event. Let's take a look at all the Brawl Stars November 2026 Balance Changes coming soon.

Before looking at all the changes coming next season, take a look at all the Brawl Stars Brawloween Skins, as they will be exiting the game soon!
