I was a f2p player, it took me literally years of casual playing to max a single deck. I never really grinded hard, I used my own non-meta deck, which put me at a big disadvantage, I was already sick of loosing because I wanted to play for fun with my own deck instead of using meta. Then I heard the news of level 15, and I deleted the app. It took me so long just to be on a “level” playing field, and I’m never going to be on a level field again. It’s sad to see greed destroy another game I once loved, I just hope the same fate doesn’t happen to clash of clans.

It’s actually ridiculous. I played Clash Royale since September 2016. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and ugly with this game. When Royal Giant came out, I didn’t complain. When Elite Barbs came out, I didn’t complain. When Firecracker came out, I didn’t complain. I’ve grinded up to about 4800 trophies, back when the cap was 5000 trophies. Then Level 15 came out, and I was grinding ladder, and get beaten by a Level 15 Elite Firecracker against my complete Level 14 deck-the same one I’ve used in tournaments and always did well with. I said okay, fine. How do I get a Level 15 card myself? MONEY. Otherwise, It would take RAW MONTHS of grinding nonstop to get just ONE card to Level 15. I had enough. I was the number 2 in my clan (second oldest member) which existed since 2018 and it always stayed active. I apologized to the clan and deleted the game on the spot. Haven’t even touched the game or anything Clash Royale related until this video. I hope Supercell learns their lesson, or else this trend of vet players deleting the game will then turn into new players becoming discouraged as they move up the ladder and deleting it too.

[@BurgerBeard]

The interesting thing about boycotting level 15 (which i support) is that SC has already factored it into their plans. They claim that level 15 is not meant for everyone. It’s just for those individuals who play for progression. They also claim it’s meant to take a very, very long time. So when they see no one upgrading to 15, they’ll see it as working according to plan. There will be some players, who know nothing of the boycott, upgrading a card here or there to level 15, and they’ll say, “See, not everyone has to upgrade to 15. It didn’t break the game.” I think a more effective boycotting strategy would be for players to not spend any money on the game, and to collectively not log into the game. Because ultimately, that’s what SC wants to avoid. They don’t care if you’re mad or glad, so long as you log in and spend money on the game.

[@TheThing49]

One major thing B-rad (nor any other content creator on this issue I've listened to) didn't mention was that upgrading a card to level 15 gives 50,000 experience points which is insane compared to all the other methods of getting them. Upgrading a card to 14 gives 2,000 so upgrading a card to 15 would be the same as upgrading 25 cards to level 14. Obviously buying elite wild cards will get you to king tower level 15 in no time, another unfair advantage.

[@williamandethan6274]

I feel that being underleveled in king tower levels is worse than card levels, as atleast cards require SOME form of skill, while the king towers are just a direct increase.

Respectful articulation of the level problem & accurate! Evolutions (when they’re balanced) and new fun content are a massive W but level 15 feels like a massive unnecessary grind to me. Wish we got the new content without the level - that’d be the update everyone wants 🤝

[@Mohammedabdullah889]

Yo sirtag, love your videos man. What the devs really need to do is shift for a new business model. Everyone throughout the lifespan of this game have been telling them that levels just don't work with this game. However, tower skins, princess arrows skins (imagine your towers shooting cool lava or ice shards instead of the boring arrows), and custom arenas are all INSANELY lucrative ways to sell for the premium players. They just want to stick with P2W for some reason though.

[@shreksmum]

Agreed.

​@@Mohammedabdullah889its cuz p2w you are forced to pay to not be at a disadvantage where the tower skins are just cosmetics

You either grind everyday as a f2p to reach a goal that keeps on going further, or you pay in which you "rent" a maxed out collection for some time until it eventually vanishes with a new added level. It's just beyond unfair. Fortnite is still going hard after all these years yet their main business model is nothing but cosmetics. Nothing unfair about it.

[@EpicSword28]

@@IPlayGamesMate They could literally fix so many CW2 issues just by locking the King Level to 11, spacing out the war days a little to make it non-tedious, having only 2 river races instead of 3 so that if you're up against clans that are impossible to win against, it'll end quicker, as well as not having to rely on having as many people as possible in your clan, which would be trickier to fix but is possible. Edit: Oh I forgot. Also make it so that a player HAS to contribute in some way to earn the chest instead of just winning one match. I'd say make each player get at least 1500 medals and 2-4 wins. I'm saying this cause I'm tired of seeing the Leader in my clan rightfully having to kick people because they just play one match to get all the sweet rewards.

as a player who stepped away from the game in late 2022 due to college, ive come back to a game where every new mechanic and update seems to be motivated by money. they can charge for evo shards, pass royale having 2 levels and being worse even when you pay $12, and then $70 offers to max one card in the shop! these sorts of monetization are outrageous in actual games, but a mobile game like clash royale can get away with it somehow. it doesnt make it less absurd. seeing that level 15 takes months to achieve, with it still providing a competitive advantage just seems to benefit players willing to spend hundreds on the game, while leaving the larger playerbase out to dry. it just hurts man. this was the best mobile game id seen in my life in 2020. but the last 4 years have seen it sliding into a more pay to win and whale based monetization. I payed for pass royale when it was $5, and had those amazing value items like the magic coin and book of books. now i dont even see the point in paying for the more expensive pass for even less. its just toxic.

[@gratzhu0hp2]

it's simple, they want it to take long to upgrade cards so you spend actual money to speed up the process. It's a business and this is a very good idea from them on the business stand point. In a month or two there just gonna make an announcement and be like you guys were right too many cards to upgrade it takes too long. after they already sucked out the money of a lot of players.

I really appreciate you using your channel to spread this message. As a side note, I'm a 25-year-old with a full-time union job. I'm happy to support this game by contributing a small portion of my income. However, I wish the game developers would provide alternative ways to support the game through cosmetics and other means that do not impact its balance. Currently, I have almost every card at level 14, and I regularly purchase the gold pass and the new diamond pass. I also buy emotes from the store that Iike. I look forward to new cosmetics and cards. However, I find this update to be appalling. Requiring players to spend money in order to have a fair gameplay experience is detrimental to the overall health of any competitive game. Games like Valorant, League of Legends, and Dota 2 have implemented successful monetization strategies without compromising the competitive integrity of the game. Personally, I have invested money in these games by purchasing season one Valorant skins and acquiring almost every immortal or arcana in Dota 2. None of these purchases have negatively affected other players experiences. There are numerous ways to monetize a game with hundreds of thousands of users that would not harm the game's integrity. Unfortunately, the current approach taken by the developers is not a good one. I play this game every day, and it helps me survive 10 hours of work. I actively strive to obtain the legendary chest from clan wars every week and I enjoy the challenge of reaching the ultimate champion status or winning my first 12-round grand challenge. As an adult, I am willing to spend money on this game. However, I refuse to do so if it means compromising the health and competitive integrity of the game. I do not want to face opponents with under-leveled cards; I want to earn my medals through skill and be respected as a player. I don't want to be taken advantage of or have an unjust amount of my income drained just to have a fair playing field. I have invested a significant amount of time and money to maximize my cards so that I can compete on equal footing with other players and enjoy a fair game. p.s. edited for clarity and Grammer as I was made fun of 😂

This was an established trend since the beginning. I played the game when level 9 was the highest, they raised it to 10 and so forth. I'm kind of appalled that it took this long to be called out. Its also the reason why I quit because I could see this becoming a problem.

[@jan8265]

I stopped playing CR in 2018. I won almost no prize money and never streamed, so I couldn't really afford P2W. I ended up buying an account with level 11/12 cards for $100 and got a deck of commons and rares to level 13 under a lot of grind. In total, I spent maybe 200 dollars to be able to play a single deck of commons and rares at max level. Why did I stop? Because I was bored with my own deck, because I had to choose between competition and variety. Why I never came back? About a year later level 14 was released and now I stumble across your video and hear about Champion Cards and level 15. It's a pity, but Supercell doesn't bring old players back, they actually prevent them from giving the game a fresh start.

[@stealthyshadow567]

I just decided to play clash royale again for the first time in probably 2 years on a bored whim. When I left I just finished upgrading all the cards I wanted to 14, I enjoyed it a long time, the champion update dropped and I kind of fizzled out because, as a free to play player, I didn’t see myself reasonably being able to level those cards, and I just wasn’t feeling inspired to grind out the champions. I just come back to the game, and now there’s a level 15 that’s even harder to achieve than the whole champion thing, on top of that there’s the card evolutions. I don’t know enough about the evolution thing to call it pay to win, but I was playing in the tournament standard ladder, I was in a log bait mirror match, and the other dudes knight was just objectively better than mine because he had the evolution and I didn’t. I don’t understand what the point of a tournament standard mode is if the playing levels aren’t equal, I was hoping that I could still use an evolution in that ladder because it would make the game *fair* but instead I’m just put in a losing position because I don’t want to spend 12 dollars or whatever to unlock the evolution. I guess I decided to give clash another try at an awful time, and everything they added since champions feels very anti user and nothing like the game at launch.

[@darkrai7597]

Same. I just started playing again as well after 2-3 years and the game is still fun. I love playing it but the upgrading to level 15 is so annoying. I was so confused at first and then I realized you have to collect elite wild cards. I was wondering why it's taking so long to collect enough then I came across this video. The thing I loved about Supercell is how the games are truly free to play but it's sad to see how they are no longer like that.

Utter disgusting cash grab. Played since launch, even went through the 13-14 madness, bought all the pass royales every month + gems. 15 got announced, I dropped CR instantly. Sadly though, what the community and what the players want, aren't going to make them as much money as forcing everyone to upgrade their cards. It's because they know we have no choice but to pay in order to stay competitive. Unfortunately at the end of the day, Supercell is a business.

As a completely f2p player, i just quit because level 14 mega knight would just 1 shot any attempt at ever pushing the enemy.

I respect B-rad so much now. His stand by not upgrading is commendable and he is completely right that they add nothing and how none of us like adding new levels. Level 14 wasn’t fun for me when it was added, but at least champions were added and the added progression wasn’t even as close as level 15 will add. This is so awful and I worry about the game. I am excited for card evolutions, but also am worried we won’t get new cards anymore. Like it’s been nearly a year since they released a new card.

The value of getting cards like legendaries and champions has dropped so much. 2016: "YO I got a miner" "BRO WHAT NO WAY" 2023: "Yo dude I got an archer queen after paying $5" "K whatever" Like champions were meant to be the highest value cards, now evolutions come in with unrealistic requirements, and in another 2 years champions will feel like legendaries because we will get some other new rarity of card that makes progression even harder for all players.

It’s impressive how long you’ve been able to stick with this game and continue to be relevant after so many of your colleagues like Surgical Goblin and Chief Pat have moved on. Recently, the game has gotten into a concerning state, with card releasing being 2-3 times per year and the destruction of progression through the new pass royale, level 14 and now this, the game really is on its last legs. What the devs need to realize is that we’re a very passionate and patient player base, who’s willing to wait for major changes for the future of the game. I’m sure so many people can attest to every point you’ve made and I think if we can make a stand here, the game might finally take a few steps in the right direction.
