I recently logged onto Clash Royale for the first time in over a year to play with a friend. I had to scroll for six seconds in the shop before I reached the normal offers (daily freebie, coins, etc.). I remember in 2016 - launch - when you didn't have to scroll at all in most cases. That should tell you all you need to know.

[@MoMo2o00]

I havent played Clash Royale in 2 years, but with all the content I need to catch up on I feel like I could barely compete nowadays. The moment they released level 14 I barely had enough resources to max my deck. Now with the meta changing and there being champions, evolutions and tower troops I feel like I will never again reach a level where I can just grind with a maxed out deck without having to worry about neing underleveled. Its so sad that ill probably never touch this game again which took a huge part on my childhood and holds a dear place in my heart. RIP Clash Royale. What has become of you.

[@justagamer6]

Most of my cards are underleveled. I don't even know what deck to play at this point. I try to play a different deck I see my cards are low level.

[@Kaklue]

this is exactly why i quit playing a few seasons ago, I had finally pushed my hardest in ranked and hoped to get ultimate champion but i had fallen short at grand champion because of having only firecracker evolution and not being high enough level to use two evolutions and also not having dagger duchess. I had pushed as far as i could with the tower princess but due to not having two evolutions and constantly playing against double evolutions I felt like I was at a constant disadvantage despite playing a control deck which most of the time had few full counters until evolutions and tower troops made the variations and matchups wildly different and once i had reached grand champ i felt like I literally could not win 90% of my games despite having multiple fully maxed decks even maxed champions. after looking past the majority of the cash grabs supercell had implemented and even having to buy the pass royale to get evolutions so i could even have a fighting chance in my rank. I had literally been a day one player spending hundreds over the years of playing but after the constant disadvantages i was running into at the high levels of play and the long hiatus' I finally decided to quit because it just doesnt feel the same anymore, like someone else said in the comments about clash royale feeling like chess, where despite card levels and rank, where the players skill truly mattered and made the difference between winning and losing. It now feels like the winner is decided by whichever sides wallet is more generous.

A streamer (I think it's Frogger) played a game and his teammate didn't have the new character and they were getting stomped.

Getting several cards released frequently that were actually fairly balanced is something i miss, but instead we get 15 different shop offers daily, broken cards that get nerfed only after they sell deals to max them. idk why they couldn't have just gone the cosmetic route similar to brawlstars.

[@kenkavaliauskas3349]

wtf skyblock youtuber, but all facts

[@RuLo0803]

I used to enjoy all supercell games, I downloaded clash of clans in 2016, and that's where it all began. I was 11 playing with my first smartphone, right after quitting other casual games like candy crush, angry birds, and else; just to grind on clash of clans. I got so excited about the upcoming game clash royale, played it until I got to arena 10, the hog mountain or something, my first legendary was the miner, and B-rad inspired me to believe that miner was a better legendary than princess, ice wizard and all the others. Sadly, I had to quit in 2020, game was not the same, and when I tried again in 2022, I legit resigned forever.

[@RuLo0803]

I even started playing brawl stars and made videos about it, right after the global launch. Came back a while ago and I'm enjoying it a lot, I wish it was the same with clash royale

Ita almost comical with how far you need to scroll to get to the shop that uses in game gold instead of real money.

[@Gensokyo_Resident]

I honestly think that Tower Troops have basically ruined completely mot of the interactions in the game with most cards. If your opponent has a dagger duchess, Your goblin barrel is garbage and completely useless. If your oponent has a Skarmy and swarm cards while you have a canoneer, You're dead. There's nothing you can do. Cards simply were NOT designed to fight against other "tower troops", Al these cards were designed to be played with the princess as the tower troops. Edit: I also forgot to mention interactions designed at purpuse, such as the princess tower getting conected by two alone wallbreakers or goblins dying on two hits. Of course, this doesn't happen with the Dagger Duchess or Canoneer

[@RazorXUltim]

Man thats what I noticed that just at its core a lot of cards struggle to compete with Tower Troops like dagger duchess. Cards have always been meant to be balanced around the princess towers in mind and now you can basically just neutralize certain cards and playstyles just because of a tower troop. And now with the possibility of a new king tower we might as well start adding another elixir bar. Theyre trying to add new things but breaking the core principles that kept the game more or less balanced or in check. Now its just a cash grab

[@justplayer3855]

I completely agree with you. I am fast-cycle free to play spellbaiter (i play with spirits) and i literally cant do anything with my deck cause of new tower troops. And also miner players (i also love playing it) are struggling nowadays. Its sad looking that the entire playstyles became dead

[@Predioabandonado-pz8dx]

[@simonbastianelli5540]

For real, I’m a f2p player that is trying to push ladder while still being level 14. Going against double evolutions and losing because of 1 level gap interactions every single game is getting very very frustrating. And now I’ve just been mindlessly playing for the last few months collecting wild cards just to finally get to level 54 and be done with this. Level 15 killed this game. Update: I finally dropped this game, I’m free.

The worst part is how unbelievable hard it is to get to level 15, you literally need like 2.5 times more experienced to go from level 14 to 15 than to go from level 1 to 14, I bet they did this on purpose so people would get mad at not having double evolution for so long and having to buy offers to get to level 15

[@AktiveHere]

same. been (and still) hard stuck in arena 18 for like 2 months bc i keep going against lvl 15 cards with my lvl 13's, and i can only play 2 decks because of how hard it is to upgrade cards

[@AeroLMS]

I used to be a semi-competitive player and now I don't even try to push for top 10k Global every season now. I'm a pure F2P that's managing time, and my 8 year old account still struggles to gain Elite Wild Cards (and ofc Evolutions). Now I just play as a filthy Casual and just grind Season Tokens, Lucky Drops, and the weekly events due to how I can't just play Ladder with Level 14 cards and missing (meta) evos. The giveaways are a sign that they're trying to appease the community, but it's still not enough even as an endgame player. One example of this is the Goblin Queen's Takeover with its own trophy ladder. A newbie (or newbie account) would struggle to unlock everything in the ladder with their Level 10 cards, while the trophy ladder doesn't cap at a lower level as you progress. The microtransactions should also be redirected towards the populace that loves cosmetics instead of gatekeeping every significant addition to CR's gameplay. Every route of action the CR devs make is always a Lose-Lose with its loyal playerbase dwindling one by one. Within me there's this single entity that still gaslights me into continuously investing my time on Clash Royale, and maybe, just maybe it will all be good again.

[@vilemmckael1784]

Had spent $500 or so across 5+ years of playing on this game. Dropped hundreds if not thousands of hours into it. Deleted it the second evolutions dropped. I still watch youtube content because the game will always hold a special place in my heart. I’ve always said CR was very similar to chess to me - luck is nearly irrelevant, and winning is nearly always skill based. But drastically changing the entire meta of the game every month with new hundred dollar evolutions made skill much less relevant. It’s heartbreaking. I will be there when a replacement comes along, from anyone other than $uper¢ell. RIP CR

[@Huntermaro]

Skill has went out the window outside the top 2000. You either have the current OP nonsense or it's the same as playing with a deck an tower 2 levels lower. It's quite lame. Can't even fix it now.

[@helptowin]

I agree with you. I used to play clash royale on bus daily. Now i fully replaced clash royale with chess.

[@Azaqa]

Luck has always been so relevant, at least since they removed overtimes. Before that some decks you could always win/draw, after that it was glorified rock paper scissors where as long as you didnt mess up placements it was more or less a predetermined outcome based on matchup alone

2 things to say on that: I think some of the OG game-devs were soo mad at the decisions of CR head-officials that they quit, leaving new, inexperienced devs to take on these roles, because there have been TONS of bugs per every “update”. Also, imo the one bug with the boxes, basically a means of rooting out players who actively try avoiding spending money, which mostly consists of f2p players. Many who were banned for a month lost their CR addiction. A 3rd i wanna add: the new ads they’ve been pumping out on yt shorts since evos, they are chasing away their current players and trying to revamp the player base with fresh players that wanna spend money. Since the update for losers, i’ve been seeing flaws in the core of what this game has become

I was consistently a top ladder F2P player (never spent a dime on this game) and I quit about a year ago when evolutions first released.

I bet anyone would prefer an update such as 2v2 ladder over p2w evos and tower troops where something fun actually changed about the game rather than more overpowered cards f2p players can’t get. And what’s with the 20 offers in the shop page? It’s so clear devs don’t gaf about the player base anymore. Nowadays I rarely open up the game, and when I do it’s to play a triple draft friendly battle game with my friend. No evos, no tower troops, no bs, just all strategy. I used to play this game religiously every day and now I open it once a month max.

​@Jpsm308 Why spend months grinding to get a single massively nerfed evo when p2w players can just buy the newest, most broken one immediately by paying money? This problem was even worse when they first released, when there was absolutely no way to get those new broken evos for free for months.

[@OSMIORN1CA]

Most Clash royale players moved onto brawl stars, my entire friend group got sick of what they are doing with their game, and we all unanimously decided to just delete it forever. Supercell, please don’t mess up brawl stars, it’s the only thing you have going for you.

[@wojerd]

tbh brawl stars has a similar problem with stuff usually being fairly op upon release but other than that its really the only pretty bad thing about the game every other supercell game has some kind of problem (except for hayday as far as im aware): clash of clans is being a bit too pay to play and silencing people, clash royale is clash royale, boom beach gets pretty much almost nothing new and squad busters is currently far too repetitive idk if theres some major other problem with hayday but yeah like you said brawl stars is pretty much the only thing supercell has going, and hayday possibly?????????? but nobody plays hayday

[@DerAustor01]

Clash of Clans are more of a pay to progress than pay to play and win.

[@13thKingMu]

​@@wojerdMy mom was playing HayDay alot back when the game release until pandemic and from what i know,there's nothing wrong about it beside boring to play if you're not into farming sim games. Not having a pvp element beside horse race which basically clan wars and it's entirely optional

[@wojerd]

@@13thKingMu oh yeah i didnt mention it but oniy those that are into farming games or just decently old people (no offense of course) play hayday its funny as hell but also sad to think hayday makes almost as much money as clash royale

glad i quit when i was still just playing for fun lol

[@flenyoo]

they made evolutions, tower troops and champions not to bring freshness into the game but to put a giant paywall and squeeze every last cent they can before they give up on the game.. truly a sad ending to a game as beloved as it used to be...

[@fromis.9]

They give players variety. But players mindset of wanting to max everything in the first day is for themselves to blame

[@flenyoo]

not really variety if the new stuff warps the meta around them

[@DemiCape]

to be fair, champions was a good idea in my opinion, because the elixir cost of the card with the ability on top was actually fair, compared to evolutions.

[@yungbruh8836]

@@fromis.9are you a supercell employee or something? 🤣 just say you wasted your mommy’s money on the game and don’t want to admit it’s trash P2W

[@kendrickpadillab]

​@@fromis.9sure man, I really am to blame because of not being able to max just one (1) deck which has been my all time favorite (and I had already maxed when the cap was level 14), even if I play daily for the next 6 months, how greedy of me. We definitely should thank supercell for all the blessings it has given us. Right?

How to win in clash royale: Outplay them: ❌ Outpay them: ✔

[@austinlincoln3414]

Lol

[@justtom7860]

The main issue for me is that these evolutions are forcing us to play specific cards because they're op. Just completely ruins the creativity in the game, and tower troops force a specific meta where you can't even attempt to play certain decks.

[@Legitti]

As non player of the game, I have no idea what's going on besides greedy microtransactions

[@UphillBridge]

Torture, human trafficking, AND genocide

[@omac2]

you nailed it

[@lugi25]

Same. I left it years ago. But the only things I hear about it, is micro transactions and pay to win

[@SonicGamerLP]

I left in Mid 2017 because I was done with this game already, sometimes I tried getting back into it but I only played for few minutes

[@smartfreak7105]

I'm an og player who quit when level 15 was announced the same week that I finally got my main deck maxed at 14. Logged in last week to see Dagger Duchess and evolutions and uninstalled again. I miss when playing the game was enough to earn a maxed deck, and there weren't gimmicks like tower troops and evolutions to make sure that normal people can't compete.

[@googleisshit1965]

First joined all the way back in 2016 and haven’t touched the game in years, don’t exactly recall what made me uninstall but seeing the way this game was headed monetization wise it made it easy, could not have made a better decision seeing the state of the game now smh

[@kylesch]

exact same situation here, its so frustrating. i switched to brawl stars instead, would highly recommend it.

[@kanamethelegend]

I feel you imagine playing for 8 years only for new stuff to be added and throw all your progress away that you put in. It's honestly heartbreaking and s good way to lose all of your player base.
