Unless people start quitting clash Royale en mass, Supercell will ignore the backlash. They’ve done it before, and they’ll do it again.

This is a business suit decision, not a developer decision. I can't imagine Drew and Max wanted to go through the blowback.

To be fair, just adding a new card every month would have been perfect. It provides new content, new meta and new ways of enjoying the games mechanics. The early days of Clash Royale truly was the perfect moment to play the game because of this.

[@darkpaul1uxgaming269]

I wish they instead tried to milk game by adding new type of ladder, that had 5 arena towers or no arena tower and only king tower, whole arena was larger and it was night themed, like builder base, you could only use "Night" cards, which would be enraged barbarian, sneaky archer, etc. Imagine new cards with fancy powers, every 5 level would upgrade abilities instead of stats etc. I would love that.

This absolutely feels like what you see in a lot of f2p/gacha games of, as in any game, the playerbase will naturally decrease over time, so to keep revenues consistent or even rising to please investors, you have to keep squeezing harder on those players who stick around, which will cause some to feel priced out of the game and leave, furthering the cycle.

This feels even worse than some gachas. Genshin Impact is an example which is much more f2p friendly than CR, and that's kind of sad tbh, that a gacha game is more f2p friendly than a live-action dueling game

[@LuxEternis]

@@LordOverSpace That's true. But even if you went full whale mode to C6 every playable 5 star character (to clarify for those that don't play Genshin, C6 means you need 7 copies of the character. On average, that takes 150 wishes for 1 character), it's be CHEAPER than getting every card in clash royale to lvl 15, which is ridiculous. It also creates an unfair advantage for massive spenders, whereas genshin doesn't have this problem because as you mentioned, no pvp.

[@SpecRec]

The problem is that Supercell doesn't understand that people want to be maxed, so they can be in a fair playing field. Just like B-rad said, what people complain about the most is facing over-leveled cards.

[@mattr791]

Players spend money to upgrade cards is the entire mtx model of cr... if a player is maxxed they stop paying supercell, and in an era where studios must maintain margins or get cut supercell's #1 objective is to keep the paying playerbase grinding 24/7 forever. Always remember from supercells pov the grind(gem shop) *IS* the game and the goal is to keep people playing that game as long as possible

Just subbed man. Thank you for keeping it real. I had a sinking feeling a few years ago when they started pumping micro transactions that it was the beginning of the end. Maybe not the end of Clash Royale, just the end of a reasonable balance between player satisfaction and profits. The last two updates alone are such a massive swing in the wrong direction that it seems they're committed to putting a brick on the gas pedal of micros they don't much care about balance at all now. I have no idea if there's a way for fans to get them to stop. That doesn't mean it's not worth the fight anyway.

That.. Couldn't be farther from the truth. They tripled the amount of gold you get from most sources. I'm not one to defend supercell, but going from level 1 to 14 is easier than it's ever been now.

As I said under multiple videos, I think they could do the same thing as CoC with new levels to make "content", which is a very weak way to do it as in CoC you don't have only new building levels, but new troops, super troops and more fire capacity and defense, which balances the whole thing. You only have to grind a bit to go from broke to full, especially with events. But CR is far from CoC. cards are way expensive and you can't grind that easily. Progression is super slow, so adding a new level just makes it unfair for new players

[@tederino47]

Got a clash Royale ad while watching this. Truly though, everything they’ve done is so sad and that’s why I decided to leave, despite being a player since 2016.

[@ungeflurmeltowo]

I dont realy comment often so u know that i realy want u know that this critic is realy good and help full and most needed.!

[@jojobizadTRASH]

Yeah, it's kind of strange that elite would have no connection to evolution. They should've just focused on evolutions because that's the only upgrade that makes a huge difference, and it only applies to a few cards right now. I do hope they back out of level 15 or change it in a way to make it WAY easier than initially.

[@nobody.7.10.7]

Also something really bad is that you don't get gems from masteries anymore

[@HHPYE42]

this is honestly my favorite video discussing the update ive seen so far. i agree with absolutely everything said here

[@jamesdelaney-h8h]

top notch video. keep doing what you are doing. respect for speaking the truth about this absurd update

[@edagupiano]

Thanks for voicing out our opinion, Gratz. Same like Brad, Crusher21 and BossCR, you are brave enough to tell supercell upright that this sucks. They make pass royale bad, made level 15 when it's useless. I hope that they can learn from this and improve in the future. Even level 14 rn is difficult for me. I don't want a great game to die like this. Great work.

[@gaidencastro9706]

You know it's bad when Gratz uploads twice in one week

[@chiller99]

"The update for losers will kill clash royale, card evolutions will kill clash royale, level 15 will kill clash royale." The truth is that even though all of these updates are very much disliked by a lot of people, people will eventually get tired of complaining and will become used to the changes, which is exactly what supercell wants and plans.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

It is the exact same thing we see in Call of Duty and same bull excuses.

Idk man most of my homies that have been playing for years haven’t opened the game since the “update for losers” it absolutely killed casual play

[@chicosburner8208]

Funny how they highlight level 15 as being a more passive progression system that will take time rather than resources when you can literally buy 50,000 elite wild cards in the shop right now....Insane how supercell is becoming more and more money hungry over the years rather than actually listening to their community and player base.

[@Coraledge]

I agree. Brawl Stars released an update where they made 49 gem skins 79 gems to simplify stuff, but warned the playerbase a week before

[@danspals7243]

Also why is no one talking about the mastery change? Clash royal is literally taking gems away from mastery and putting gold in, when literally you don’t even need gold for level 15. Great for slowing progression.

[@orange_turtle3412]

This whole system is, by far, the most pay-to-win thing supercell has ever done. Your choices here are to quite literally play the game nonstop for years, or pay a VERY hefty total price. This company is seriously starting to make EA look affordable and consumer-friendly.

[@danibv1291]

I have an idea, more like a mid solution, between what supercell wants and what the players want. What if every player could only get a single card of their deck to lv 15? That would make that card really "elite", and that wouldn't become a source of pure frustation, you would deal with only one card that's overlevelled and it would bring more strategy into thinking about which card gets the most benefits from being +1 lv than the opponents' cards. I feel like that would bring incentive to grind but not the necessity of having all the cards maxed out. The whales that spend money would have only a single card overlevelled (which is a lot, i know, but far better than having 8 of them), but this might change in a matter of a season, since you said that getting rewards grants almost 2 cards per season. They could make that the first season you can decide for free which card to make "elite", so that you don't miss out the feature while grinding for a stable one What do you guys think?

[@erfanwardana9769]

@@skotinoulis4745 level 16 will be my nightmare again then

[@danibv1291]

@@skotinoulis4745 I thought about it and there are many cards that would benefit a lot from being overlevelled. Mirror can be great, but also fireball (that oneshots wizard etc), graveyard (can't be countered by skeletons, skarmies and bats), bats/skellies... There are many cards that can really be "elite" and really change the game. I am currently still believing it's a great idea, sounds selfish but i'm actually more concerned about the game. I hope devs could listen more to the suggestion the players have, instead of being so blind... On the other hand there are many infuriated players that cannot have a decent discussion, i guess we should all work on that

[@mikeoxlong3391]

People would be putting Their Win Conditions as elites I suppose

[@zara5023]

I think card evolutionary are great in concept. I think they’re implementation isn’t so good. I like the idea of being able to unlock and upgrade a card evolution like you would unlock a normal card, but instead of the evolution being an objectively better version of that card, its more like a different version of that card. If like existing card evolutions it improves cards, it could just offer a greater cost, like multiplying skeletons costing 3 elixir, or goblin mortar costing 5. Alternatively it could be a weaker version of that card, like a lumberjack without its rage for 3 elixir or 2 stab goblins for 1 elixir, or just rebalanced, Like having a main wizard which is high damage but low health, and a different wizard which is high health but lower damage. all of these Card evolutions could be played at any time instead of the regular version if you chose to. The benefit of this would be to create psudo new cards whilst buffing existing cards by increasing their versatility instead of making them stronger, which would allow a card to fill different roles depending on what you needed it for.

[@edgardoperez4829]

8:40 i enjoy new levels. in any and most games i like leveling up. however, i am by no means an active CR player, so im not sure what its like for max players, but i do indeed like seeing higher numbers lol. youre videos are amazing and are what make me want to play CR again, i just wanted to add that feedback im not defending SC here tho, as youve explained, this level 15 system is wack af, im still trying to relearn the game after not playing for a few years love your vids man, keep it up!

[@Liver490]

Hey m8 congrats for 100k!!! 👏👏👏

[@KolassalL]

i get that it would be tough to keep putting out new cards each month in the long term, but if they would actually listen to the community instead of releasing half assed updates just to have something published i think they could succeed, overall if not new cards, new interesting mechanics like evolutions and such..

[@max-mkl]

You really took in perspective on how long upgrading your cards is gonna take. If currently got 70% of my cards maxed and 4% at level 13 .... and I've been playing since 2016 ....

Very nice well balanced video essay! I liked that you discussed the possibly hidden intentions of supercell in implementing level 15, which is essentially just monetary profits, which I 100% agree to exist.

[@breadcypher5728]

You're right, this is Supercell They'll absolutely find a way to make it worse

[@aac2500]

Another reason level 16 is definitely coming; It’s in the game. Remember when the mirror got the +2 levels buff? They had to code level 16 in for all cards (minus champions and the mirror itself). It’s almost 100% in the game code already, so why waste it when you can use it to rip off the players again?

[@ruanvenoom]

level 18 is also in the game

[@antoninocampo9365]

​@@ruanvenoom true😢

[@ish_]

Tf are you on about, lol. A “level” is super easy to just code recursively, since it’s just a flat 10% stat boost. Technically, they could add lvl 20 with just as much work as lvl 16 would take.

You are definitely right with your criticism. At all, im hoping that the game gets easier to play, without spending money. I never spent money on Clash Royale and dont plan to do it in the future, but its really hard to obtain elite wild cards without doing it. For 8€, you can max out one card, but you have to spend 1.000.000 Gold to obtain the same amount of wild cards.

You can buy 50000 elite cards for seven dollars 🤡

[@yayeetxd6137]

Yeah bro supercell are so cheap and want some quick cash. If literally the amount of work you had to do to get a card from level 14 to 15 had to be converted to real money it would cost hundreds of dollars because it will literally take you one to two years to max ONE card if you are fully f2p player, and they are giving those 50000 wild cards for 7 dollars. They are literally just doing it for the money and they are tricking the players to buy the wild cards for cheap because otherwise it will take them years. Im literally speechless……

The thing I see as a problem to this update IS card evolution. It came with the lv 15, same as champions for lv 14. I feel like, in a year or two, there will be lv 16 and supercell will just be say again "A lot of old players returned to the game to continue leveling up cards" when they clearly came for champions, and for lv 16 we will get mega champions or something like that, letting them use the same excuse again. we might get stuck in a endless loop of same lies over and over again for their benefit.
