Starting to appreciate the variety of midladder more after seeing this meta

[@alexx12545]

How are we at this point...

[@ML-jm2qj]

Yeah but midladder is cancer for xbow players. Not because it's not winnable but they have all tanks and mini tanks so goodluck getting a lock, especially after double elixir and then when I start to rocket cycle they start bming like it's my fault I can't get a lock.

The goblin giant log interaction always pisses me off. There’s not a SINGLE other card who drops ground troops invincible when a log kills it. It’s so annoying how awkward it makes defenses sometimes.

​@@hunter_crive been following you for a bit and ima regular cr player who enjoys playing various decks but i seriously CANNOT STAND this meta. How does anyone whos probably garbage at the game reach top 100 by either spamming recruits and other cards at tue bridge or by spamming evo pekkas at the back and then throwing their entire elixir bar. Or even by spamming cannon carts and mortars at the bridge and defending with nothing. I know i might have given you the yapper special but im seriously pissed

[@pizzomat5658]

hunter is anything but a pro player man😭😭😭 He’s got 0$ in earnings in official tourneys and never really got close to winning an important one. He’s a great player and one of the best with x-bow, but competitive play is soooo different from ladder, he lacks a lot in deck picking abilities and his deck pull is very small, playing pretty much only x bow or maybe cycle but not at a top level. I know this is because he is more focused in having fun than pro play, but I don’t think he calls himself a pro player either.

[@whyjustwhy1911]

Thats literally a pro player, using an out dated garbage deck and still winning. Obviously he hasnt gone to any tournaments, and he doesnt even have a creator code, also hes at the top of ladder too. What the hell are you yapping about 😭

[@pizzomat5658]

@@whyjustwhy1911 what does having a creator code have to do with being a pro player, and also how can you say that he can be a pro if he doesn’t play tournaments? lmao what are you up to, the literal definition of pro is making a living out of the winnings of tournaments. Ladder has nothing to do with being a pro player either are you sober?

Hunter has to be the realest CR youtuber fr, you don't see others showing how bad the meta situation is rn, they just be like 100% positive all the time, they mostly reflect the game's community opinion abt the game so the devs be watching them and be like "yeah everything is fine let's buff recruits"

This is genuinely the worst meta in Clash Royale history tbh

[@martinho5474]

I quite like this meta, at least there's some versatility in the decks and you can use the meta decks in multiple different strategic ways , splashyard, logbait, pekka, mk bait, lava hound quite interesting meta jn my opinion although it gets annoying with stein every single match

[@martinho5474]

The worst meta in my opinion is giant bowler or bowler egiant metas + evo bomber meta, very oppressive the ones using the meta decks could get away blocking one entire lane with the bowler and would not be punished for it, the way to win was either they commit a mistake or slow chip damage and perfect defense so gay gameplay for the oponent as I had to be a lot more skilled than the opponent to win

[@martinho5474]

Also dagger duchess meta combined with bowler and evo bomber worst meta , dagger duccess was even more oppressive as bowler if you didn't have the specific deck you were at massive disadvantage

[@DS-sm3nu]

Yo Hunter, I was an X-Bow main before I stopped playing and your XB videos are the closest I get to seeing fun, nostalgic gameplay. Considering how toxic the meta is, I completely understand if you no longer want to play XB. Game 1 was crazy!!!

[@MT-dn4tu]

One thing that I feel doesn't get mentioned enough is that when you kill the scientist before the monster, it puts the Goblinstein back in rotation, meaning while they're happily cycling back to another Goblinstein, you've still got to deal with the tanky monster, only to deal with another one seconds later. It's a joke. It shouldn't be added back in rotation until both scientist and monster are dead.

Yeah that’s insane

[@_ryanboss966_]

I'm really unsatisfied with the G stein nerf! They shoulda nerfed the ability damage

[@MT-dn4tu]

The ability definitely needs a nerf, but also, there's just way too much HP on the field, especially for only 5 elixir. It has way too much utility - a tank, stun, aoe, unlimited range on the ability, a troop that requires at least 6 elixir (lightning, fireball log) to kill if you don't want to deal with the ability, but then you've got to deal with the tank; but then, you also get punished if you kill the scientist first since they're now able to cycle back to another Goblinstein even quicker. It's just brain-dead.

16:30 i 'd like to see xbow last a bit less to add some dps. But since aint no way xbow gets a buff/rework. This ideas for an evo would be cool : 1. make it shoot through troops like a magic archer 2. make it shoot faster the less hp it has. That last idea would be hilarious
