You know the story of the foreign streamer reminds me so much of the horror story from Overwatch. If you don't know, a few months ago the new hero/character would be locked behind the battlepass, and free2plays will have to play for a week or a few weeks to unlock it. A streamer (I think it's Frogger) played a game and his teammate didn't have the new character and they were getting stomped. So, said teammate left the game, bought the pass, got the character, and then rejoined. Honestly kinda sounds similar to the state of supercell games as a whole recently.

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

[@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.

[@HuTayo]

The game was so much more enjoyable pre 2019.

I want to point out that when some bugs happend that was a huge benefit for the f2p players, like you could reroll Lucky Drops or even the chest drops bug that gave you a insane amount of cards, they immediatly fixed, like day 1, on the other hand bugs that legit hurt all player base they took months or never even fixed.

[@jhonyjhony2278]

yeah ive noticed this too

[@_CertifiedHoodClassic]

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

One update that could possibly fix everything is a new trophy road (which is temporary) where you grind to the end for amazing rewards like 500k gold (not much seeing it's only 5 level 14 upgrades but enough for maxing a deck), some cosmetics (not just emotes but a tower skin as well), some items like wild cards, books, tokens, keys etc. Basically a big giveaway season where the attention is for players to catch up instead of paying eyes closed. Make the season pass cost 1 dollar for gold and 4 for diamond just this once, giveaway a lot of stuff helpful for growth and not think once about having a paywall. In a business pov, it could have them be looked in a slightly favourable way and have them be forgiven instead of causing a steep downfall

Brawl stars is going down the same path as CR. Brawl stars right now is just as p2w as CR. They changed their pass from gems to money and the pass is the only way you can unlock the new brawlers each month.

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.

Like in brawl stars you can get enough gold to get 1 hyper charge from the free pass n in cr we just chest which gives noting

[@rypio300]

It's also stupid because it's just a temporary event. If you missed that event or didn't know about the game at that time, you'll have to pray that there's another. An easy way to get evolutions should be added permanently, or they should make events like these every month (which will probably not happen).

[@spookyscarylamppost3431]

This is how most mobile games condition their players to accept horrible deals. Make something way worse to make something bad looks good.

[@supremerage3328]

​@@rypio300they have started doing these event for 2 or 3 months so maybe they are going to keep doing them

[@aibrawl6493]

In brawl stars evey update they give you 1 free hypercharge from the 6 new ones and it's not just a one time thing, also getting a hypercharge is 10x easier than getting an evo, they give so much away

[@dumass804]

I noticed something else about these updates - they give passive value to the player. You don't need to trade off anything to use a tower troop or evolution, it's strictly a buff. With new cards, they may be strong, but they cost a deck slot and elixir to use. Even with champions, they cost a deck slot and elixir to use the ability. The main issue I saw people complaining about was the 3 card cycle with them from a fundamental design perspective (not a balance perspective) It's unengaging for both players if you introduce passive value into games and take away agency. You can't outplay a tower troop like you can pressure your opponent enough so they can't use their champion ability or play their wincon. So it's not even the monetary aspects, it's also just the design of the features put in

Of course! Side grades offer some type of choice, even if they're obvious ones: Upgrades are required for competitive play, always.

I'm so glad I uninstalled Clash roughly two years ago. I still watch your vids because I do genuinely enjoy your style, but the game has been getting worse and worse. I had been a free to play player since the day I started. I think I had my account for four or five years before I couldn't take the paywall anymore. The story you told about the streamer being stuck to a deck was true even before evolutions. It took such a long time to get cards for a different deck that I couldn't feasibly use a royal hog deck even if I wanted to. You had to get shop deals if you wanted to compete, and that is still true to a worse degree. It really is a sad tale of greed, I wish the game could go back to the better days as well.

I used to defend the game but at this point I. play only to not get kicked from my clan, all my friends have alredy quited and the game feels so boring... OP cards, boring events (capture the...) and on top of that all I'm F2P. This is just sad.

I see the pain in your face expressions :(( you genuinely made me tear I understand how it hurts to be so passionate about something so unique and exciting then realizing it's no more because of corporate greed, and being deceived about it I really hope it gets better soon too I did quit when the recent goblin mode released because it's too wack for me, and I don't really feel like grinding through something I don't enjoy to make progression, and I don't like how much I'll miss out on if I don't play the mode I never payed a single dime on the game, I would've happily payed to support the game a couple years ago but I didn't have the means to make purchases, and I'm glad because I would've regret that money, now I don't think the game is not worth any of my money the game doesn't offer microtransactions, they are entire freaking transactions the value is so little for such amounts of money - even less so with the strong lack of balance in the game in mid ladder I've struggled to attain even 50% win rate without getting lucky with matchmaking or without spending a few months grinding out progression I can buy like 15 good indie titles on discount with a hundred dollars and have thousands of hours of high quality super fun content and enjoy the company of amazing communities and possibly thousands more hours of modded content and playing challenges/speedruns and possibly even thousands more hours of youtube/twitch content, and retain the right to most of these for myself hell, that's one year of Netflix, Crunchyroll, Curiosity Stream or any other, giving you access to thousands of top notch productions and I can keep listing how much a hundred dollars can do for you in terms of entertainment but the point is made friend battles are still a lot of fun especially with draft, that's all I'm gonna play from now on

[@mynameiscal3478]

Gameplay isn't even fun anymore. Even with an overpowered deck, it will always be: select a card, place a card. No customization, no progression that feels worthwhile, just placing cards.

[@user-eg6hw4fo6r]

Yeah only the deck everyone is used to is still not good basically

[@the_gamerq6029]

Dont understand. Yeah CR is cards game, what u want? The problem is that back in the days this game required skill. Nowadays its about spamming evos and spending money.

[@mynameiscal3478]

@the_gamerq6029 idk, I feel it's just how every card is placed the same. You select it, it goes where you put it. Always building targeting or troop targeting or spell? I feel like they could definitely do more with the concept, but after 8 years I'm sick of the same gameplay and overall goal of taking down towers. An alt mode with a different use for cards would be awesome

Wanna play a building? Play evo tesla. What? You wanna play something else like cannon? Bomb tower? Tombstone? Inferno tower? No play evo tesla, the other options are all garbage. Deck variety is all but destroyed.

[@loganderhund606]

The worst part is, that all the new features are not terrible in a vacuum, just horendously balanced. Champions enable you to have a three card cycle, which is ok as long as they are not to cheap and you have to deal with the fact that you maybe have only one anti air card to defend, when your Queen is on the other side of the map. Evolutions in theory spice the game up and give underused cards a second chance. Problems arise, if you give an extremly cheap card a game winning ability and 1 card cycle or just ignore cards that really do need an evolution (Mega Minion). Plus the ungodly grind for shards and mostly evos that play well with cyclr and not many other archetypes. Towertroops are a lot more complicated. I think the cannoneer is reasonable enough, it is great against tanks, bad against swarms and you really need to support him. It also did not delete a lot of decks from the meta, as beatdown still had a chance against it and it had about as many downsides as upsides. Dagger Duches just was a mistake. She clears swarms, prevents chip damage, removes mini tanks from the game and has enough burst damage, that even against beatdown you had very little problems. The fact that you had to spent ~2 elixir just as fodder for the tower to even aproach it in single just shows that they didn't really want to balance it/were not allowed to just to sell those sweet offers. And while Cannoneer certainly anihilated some interactions it had enough effecient counterplay. The goblin mode is the least fun I ever had in CR. You need to win about 70 matches to unlock all the new cards, while playing against basicalls the same deck the whole time. To add insult to injury, you might not have most goblin cards upgraded, as most don't inherently synergise with each other and it just leeds to spamming goblins, spamming couters to goblins or ignoring the event alltogether and just play Lavahound because most decks just have Dartgoblin as AA. This could all have been prevented, if they went full Builder Base and completly disconected the Goblin Road with normal Ladder. You unlock and upgrade cards, just for the goblin ladder and have a seperat chest cycle. This would allow them to tailor the goblin ladder better and allow new p(l)ayers a chance at the game. All this could be furtehr improved by restricting the card pool, like cutting most tanky units if you really want a logbait fest and it wouldn't hurt players who main lava loon, as it is completly seperat. And to keep the players playing this mode, decrease chest timers and upgrade costs by alot and give them something for the main ladder (e.g. every goblin silver chest contains stuff for the goblin mode worth a silver chest + some gold and cards for the main ladder). And they could even give reward at the end of the season depending on your trophies and card level.

Same, I actually quit after the monk update and I was really glad to know things got like 4 times worse a few months later when they released level 15 and killed the pass royale. But now somehow seems it’s even worse and too late to save the game without destroying/deleting everything they did in the last 2 years. After I quit I wanted a fair competitive and strategy game and I switched to chess, best decision of my life.

[@DonkyFarts]

completely agree w everything you said in this video. i’ve been a casual f2p player but stopped playing around the time they first added Evolutions simply because i lost interest in the game after playing for so many years. but since then i’ve tried playing every now and then, but i couldn’t win/compete with anyone. all these new meta decks and evolutions that i simply don’t have and can’t invest in. hell, to this day i STILL haven’t unlocked the Archer Queen. i’m fine w meta changes, but the fact that these new “needed” cards are locked behind hours of grinding and pay walls is insane. it’s impossible to catch up. thank you for voicing up and speaking out against all of Supercell’s bullsh*t

I noticed that Supercell always take at least 2 weeks to nerf an evo and after a month they start nerfing it to oblivion. The F2P need 3 months to get one evo, that means a P2W gets one instant broken evo and the F2P will only get the same card months later when it's already nerfed, but when this time come Supercell would be already releasing a new evo that only P2W have access to With Supercell removing the evo shards from season shop, the time to get an free evo will go from 3 months to 6 months
