I personally just hate, the way they have added evolutions. Whith cycles, it makes fast cycle decks just broken by principle. I would have loved to see it done in a way, where you have a certain amount of evolutions per game, but you can choose to evolve a card at any point with the press of a new button. It would also mean, the evolution slot isn't necessary, and one could evolve any card that has an evolution. I feel like that would make evolutions have more skill attached.

I remember when hog mountain was the highest arena and there were only two legendaries, and those legendaries weren't broken, they were just pretty good cards, I miss that.

It's at a point where the people that are free to play just straight up aren't playing the same game as pay to win players, it will take you years to get to the same point somebody with a credit card can get to in five minutes, they aren't even trying to make it fair anymore

this was a really good takeaway from how the game has shifted. i quit the game before they announced lvl15 and i always just said that it was because the vibes were off, but this is just it. the game has gotten more rng and less strategy, and they now have an audience who ONLY wants the new "craziest" thing, and if they dont deliver then the fickle crowd will leave. im kinda rambling but just wanted to say, i agree with you 100%

[@Phucsle383]

the problem is way more complicated, if there's no evoluition, what does the game need to do? 1: game modes that is happening rn in the ss, they're really hard to make a mode simple, fun and enjoyable 2: more cards that will inflate the cards volume and make some card become unuseable ex: barbhut,... 3: card's unique ability that is champions and evolution for champions it goes the same with the 2nd part and champions are harder to obtain so more champions (over 10 of them) will be too abuseive since upgrading just one will be even harder for evolution it is great but it makes the game more cyclely, more no brain my thought: more evolution but somehow change the way we get it ( by cycle) and instead pay more elixir to use the card, also nerf the evo so they can be useable in that elixir range ( method to use the evo: swipe the card up to change)

[@chazz1591]

Idk if anyone will read this, but this has been my CR experience ever since I came back to the game: -I came back around 6 months ago; level 11 tower, most cards level 10 or 11. I was sitting at around 4.5k trophies and facing opponents of a similar level -Fast forward to now, Im level 13, haven't spent a dime on the game, and most of my cards are now level 11 or 12 (one or two level 13s). Im sitting at 6k trophies now and usually face level 14 opponents with level 14 cards -Playing this game is like slamming my head into a wall because strategy doesnt really matter. If you're using a level 11 card, level 14 anything is going to win. Your opponent can make stupid plays and I cant punish because my cards are too low level. -I cant drop below 6k trophies (for some reason?) and I cant climb up because Im against thousands of dumb level 14 people who spent money on the game but refuse to strategize. Anytime I get one win, I get kicked back down to 6k Seriously, if anyone reads this and has any tips, lemme know. Right now I play mainly play miner poison with normal mortar (I dont have the evo; was gonna get it for the Valentines thing, but I also dont have Evo Knight. Evo archers are the only evo I have.) I know I need to just focus on maxxing a deck or two, but it kinda feels pointless at this point, lol

[@rubenmatinezlopez2662]

You can't go below any arena now. If u get to 6000, thats your minimum. Ive been stuck at 7000 for a month now. Getting back to the other point: try to level only one deck at a time, but do it with the prospect of using some of the cards in other decks in the future. You could play Ranked mode every month to both improve and get some resources. I suggest you use your gems in Challenges, if u get good, u will get a lot of resources over time. Lastly, if u have the money, you could buy 1 or 2 passes. The amount of Exp u get from leveling up cards could boost you a lot. It also means you can open more chests and more tries in Challenges. Also, a tip I wish I knew years ago: don't donate in your clan. U lose a lot of resources donating cards, it's not worth it, you will need those cards at some point.

[@rohankolhe6905]

Hey how did you get evo archers ? Can you use them ?

[@guymitchell9234]

I feel you man. I quit the game a year ago after but I still believe my advice can be valuable for you as I was every season a top 1000 world finisher. 1: stick to one deck and max it out, Make sure it’s a deck which is fun for you with good cards and can take good advantage of evolutions cycle is my recommendation but it’s up to your preference. 2: learn the shit out of it, be familiar with every interaction and aware of our comes and most importantly how to defend, in the low arenas most people get stuck because they are too focused on offense offense and only offense and get counter pushed and lose, and so to prevent that play passive try recognizing when your opponent opened himself for an attack or is low on Elixer or has no counters in cycle and punish but do not over commit or else he will counter push you and your efforts are rendered useless, also when attempting to defend you have to be able to get out of the sticky situations where your at an Elixer disadvantage and your opponent is pushing by separating his attack and dealing with them calmly. 3: and probably the most crucial, when picking your deck make sure you have in it some good cards for defense and counter the most annoying and broken card, so for example I was an x bow player and I had Tesla to counter all the tanks roaming top ladder and fire ball log to deal with the back of the push as well as utilization of cycle cards to distract, I saw that you play miner poison and if you do it’s great although I would not go for a mortar variant with all the long long long ranged evolutions and champions running around and would personally switch it to a inferno tower or cannon or something you have easy time defending with and adding another win con to your deck, wall breakers or ballon or something like that. 4: and the last tip I can give you and this is optional but very good for extending and deepening your understanding and familiarity with the game I would recommend watching pro players and trip ladder such as Morten Mohamed light Ian77 ryley and my personal favorites b-rad and eragon. That’s really all the advice i could give you if you want to improve that’s what worked for me and I hope you’ll bet better also, although my best tip for you and anybody seeing this comment is to leave the game as I did, it’s probably not gonna get better if we keep playing it as that signals supercell that we are enjoying this atrocity of a so called strategy game, champions were the start of the end and evolutions will mark the death of clash royale if we won’t do anything. So I will say this and hope you listen to me if you made it this far in my essentially essay that for the game to get better we need to show supercell that it won’t stand any more and see it her won’t change or the game will die and than and only than they will actually listen to us, Actions speak much much louder than words. Well that’s my rant hope any one who read this agrees with me and either take action or gain a better grasp of the game and will get better, if you have any questions feel free to reply to this message and I will reply back when I’ll see it ☺️

Ranked 2v2s would go absolutely insane

[@alexpopov6661]

Bear with me here, this will be a bit of a long one, but this is the experience of someone who played cr since day 1, farmed a almost max e wiz on the very first 12 win challenge, 20 win badge etc. I left the game about 2.5 years ago (lvl 13 was max card lv at the time) with about 100 bucks invested throughout the 5 years i played. I had a lot of max decks and had done a lot of grinding, clan wars and gcs for my cards, and I was able to hang with the big boys ladder wise. This was all context for the following, I came back a month ago out of slight boredom and a desire to feel some nostalgia in relation to a game I once loved, and hopped on to find 2 new levels, 15 being absolute cancer, because the rate at which you can lvl up cards to 15 depends heavily on how many lvl 14s you have but ok lets get past that. I climbed up to 8k with ease with a full 14 deck and thats where i started to hit the paywall. I noticed a lot of shitters with maxed ebarbs and maxed mirror, but nothing out of the ordinary, those guys have existed throughout the history of cr. Back when i played leagues and trophy road was merged, so when checking some profiles this most recent push, I would notice a lot of the swipers have like 8000-8500 trophies but then their leagues pb is master 1 or league 4, whereas a 10% above avg player with a full lv14 decently put together, ok deck with 0 evos can definitely hit league 8(even 9) with some practice. So this is why you guys got 2 evos. 2 birds are killed with one stone. All of these shameless whales with 8500 trophies peaking in league 5 at the end of season can now swipe some more, earn supercell more money whilst being able to artificially inflate their league pbs because now they can start running double evos even in any league, if they are king tower 15. Thats all there really is to it, double evos in anything under leagues 9 and 10 is absolutely disgusting, and sc knows it but too bad $$$

[@Hydra_CR89]

I think it's rly important to specify that they're not 'doing it for money' they're doing it for short term money specifically. 2021-22, masteries and champions, splitting ladder etc were all good changes, brought players back after the tragic 2020 we had, and I was happy during that time, even w e giant mirror meta. If they continued like this, the game's longevity would be hugely increased. Clash of clans does exactly that, it's a business model that prioritises longevity, and still good money per season but over a long period of time. Every change in 2023 has been the opposite. Money grabs, u might call them. They outrage the community, heavily nerfing progression even for the spenders who bought the pass before diamond was added. But also adding broken bullshit concepts they know will be unhealthy for the game and again will cause outrage, just because they know they'll be bought for an advantage. This makes them huge money in the short term, just as releasing a new busted evo every season does, but kills the game. The playerbase will not endure it they'll get fed up and quit. And this is why it is not 'for money' they want to kill the game for whatever reason and are thus getting the last revenue they can get from it. So i just think it's important to distinguish between doing something for money and doing something for short term gain. They'd make far more off the game overall if it lasted another 4 yrs minimum, to the current age of coc, but they want to do something else instead. Put the energy u use on cr into something else. Doing something for money is what every business does and it's the goal behind adding masteries and adding lvl 15, but one of them is far better for the game's longevity and long term profit.

​@@DidleSticksthey only need to adjust the heroe equipment, and also the ores (more easier to get like the shinny and star ore) because is very hard to grind for it

[@DidleSticks]

@@crosssans6133 yes that’s an issue rn, glory ore is scarce but I’m sure they’ll readjust overtime

The thing is even on the non trophy ladder, where theres level caps, even when you have the level cap below level 15 people still have their second evo and its just trash😊

[@joshwebb4244]

2 challenge mode ideas 1.Evolution Overload You can only use evolution cards and they are the Evo form everytime 2. A gamemodes where evolutions are treated like champions where you pay extra once they're deployed to evolve them and you can't play another copy of that card until it dies

[@diegoandreovalle]

I started playing clash royale in 2016 daily and last month I uninstalled it because of evolutions

[@DaReal0reo]

why is watching ken ramble about evolutions and shit so entertaining

[@ZakuZiku]

Totally agree. I played just mega draft until run out of gems…

[@liber2350]

Now we are back to where we used to be, what would have been 8 years for a max account back when legendaries felt like legendaries. I honestly do like the mixed progression because it is really what supercell was going for, I do like how it reduces smurfing by forcing you to have progress but I just wish there was a side mode to grind every reward. Like an ltm that gave you lets say 250 or so common (scaled to rarity obv) wild cards so you could actually grind the game. This would also be an awesome and fun way to grind evolutions while still making it take time. I do like the time based progression because it allows you to build up your skill against people who have advantages against you but I feel like theres just no way to actually get that advantage (without paying) without waiting so long. I do love all this new stuff because it gives us new things to work towards while not just giving it to us, so we can become stronger without them and learn to be good at the game. But if they want to lock progress behind multiple evo's, I really dont want to wait 4-5 months to get one and have that be just... one card... out of ones they release every month that could make or break the meta. Id rather something more flexible. This is nice and im hoping they do more because I truly think this is what is best for the game, but they have to make it accessible. I really think multiple evolutions brings a really cool dynamic into the game, but I wish they had more downside, like how supers costed more elixir. That way, matches would become more dynamic and less match up dependent as you could capitalize on big moments but also have a reason to not use those cards. I think more evos could lead to more deck diversity, because you can run stuff like cycle to get them faster or run other cards to support them and do a lot more with them and not be as weak to spells, etc. Also offsetting cycles makes it so sometimes you have one or the other or both, and you can hold on to one to play both and be punished by one in return. I think its super cool how dynamic this is making the game instead of one side slowly getting an advantage or one player losing because of a minor slip up. In the end I do realize they are probably just doing it for money, but I really think it could work out for everyone in the end as long as we all get our piece of the cake. Sadly, its impossible right now since you have to wait 5x as long to get an evo than it takes them to release a new one that just outclasses the rest, but if they choose to make them balanced I can see this being a lot of fun. Wonder if theyre ever just gonna launch a clash royale 2 so we can have a more... old experience? I hope this goes well, it seems very promising

[@rafaelcante5731]

Since the evolutions came out I’ve been saving shards and was happy to use them on the wall breakers and got my free knight and I can’t even use it for not being level 15, I can’t get past grand champion for ppl having a higher level and extra evolution and I decided to get the pass even tho I didn’t want to to level up to 15 and I didn’t even get close I still need 3 more levels which would 150000 xp 😐

[@spirithuntertv782]

Another Problem with CR rn. I still play but the progression got stripped away especially since Elite Wild Cards are NOT in shop anymore which makes the fact true that CR Devs at Supercell just want your money.

[@mkgclash5124]

Last season i got 1st time grand Champion as f2p using lumberloon freeze without any evolution but this season it seems impossible playing against two evolutions and constantly spamming at back

[@jacquelinesharp-linsenbaum6649]

I agree with everything you said but also level 15 and how everyone just forgot about it. It’s been a few months since card evolutions and I’m not even close to getting one. And i’m still so far away from king tower 15. This game needs an entire new team of developers. They keep messing it up again and again.

[@StruckRain]

Thank you for the wonderful content! Love you Ken!!!

[@mohamedshaaban8968]

The worst part is all that ruined competitve gameplay as well, its not even about skill anymore, it became very match up and luck based and whole bunch of no skill broken decks

[@cynikal5744]

Yea, I went back to coc lol kinda feels like they’ll go the clash route too tho (equipments and their currency) but I’m enjoying it a bit more

[@thebighoney9034]

I encountered 3 evo fire cracker+bomber tornado combo in a row today. Made me use royal delivery and barb barrel at the same deck.

[@captainpotato8894]

As a returning player it's really hard to catch up with no evolutions

[@theslayer781]

most people already left the game since the company dosent care anymore for me I left the game for TEKKEN 8

[@haydennoecker3793]

The extra thing about the double evolution at lvl 15 that really makes it salt in the wound, upgrading cards to level 15 gives you 50,000 xp, which makes it super easy to level up

[@nygis3685]

I think evolutions should only be available in a completely new game mode, where you know skill isnt required and its just mayhem, heck even do it so you can have 8 evolutions in your deck, but dont make the whole game p2w and not strategic

[@faisal.mahmood]

As a F2P this is exactly the reason why I don't push trophies anymore, then comes a point on path of legends when you face over levelled players and that's when I stop playing (every season)

[@Yassa_17]

I think if they revert the game to before the champions were released they'd make a shit ton of more money with millons of people coming back to the game

[@StarFruitNinjaCR]

The changes that they are making is taking players away from ranked. I consider myself lucky to have 1 maxed deck to play on ranked with 2 evolutions but I understand that not everyone is fortunate. And with the new systems its going to be hard for players to test with decks and enjoy ranked modes.

[@quinnbloom7111]

At this point it’s like impossible to climb ladder because so many people bought champions at low levels or spent money on the evolution in area 13 or 14 and it gets frustrating

[@chilitoast5498]

They need to make it easier for F2P Players to get evolutions

[@hyarin9460]

I feel like tower troops are a great step in the right direction Such a simple addition that could add an entire new strategy if done right

[@user-re8lx9ng5q]

I want the old clash royale

[@christophercaballero8420]

easy way to fix it is to restrict the two evolution slot to just trophy matches. this would make rank games better and the overall experience better

[@D1ne-O-SAur]

I think that evolutions will work if they were mirror match evolutions and only on events, not to unlock and use in ladder.

[@grass1652]

not gonna lie this happens to a lot of games. The creators of the game build up the game and everyone enjoys it, then they start adding the pay to win aspect and the game becomes unfun

[@omernamialan7721]

This game was peak when max level was 13

[@Vendetta_killer]

Maybe they could rethink the way evolutions are played during battles, like an actual dark elixir system maybe?

[@hauntedgamer6773]

I've been f2p ever since 2016. Now ive taken breaks here and there for months up to a year and coming back to the game 2 months ago. It feels almost impossible to progress withiut having to spend any money.

[@actualcheetochomper]

i got a clash of clans ad right before this💀

[@c4ex203]

Gust wait for lvl 16 and a new hero mechanic similar to card evolution

[@dandavidson1704]

What’s fucked for me is that my kind level turned to level 14 RIGHT after the new update which added the separation between king tower and crown towers, which means I’m stuck with my old level 13 crown towers, and you can’t even find the cards to upgrade them anywhere

[@tuur200o8]

ALL WE VALUE IS YOUR HONESTY KEN THANK YOU

[@NM-cx3vg]

I quit this game yesterday, and was at over 8000 trophies. Level 15 absolutely killed the game for free-to-play players. I also have literally hundreds of Common and Rare Wild Cards that I cannot even use because there aren't enough ways for a free-to-play player to consistently get enough gold to upgrade their cards so they can use the Wild Cards. Nice job, Clash Royale Team.

[@VictorvanGilse]

i want 2v2 double elixer draft touchdown back, that was when the game was most fun

[@thatonehispanic7982]

The evo rocket is going to act the same way as fhe hellstorm missle from BO2

[@stephenmisener1659]

Been playing on and off mostly f2p since beta. Its insane at this point you HAVE to spend insane amounts of money

[@oliverrepp131]

Before evolutions I was in an extremely active clan. Has been run by the same dude for like 5 years, but I joined in the last few months before evos were introduced. The clan really had a family feel, they had their own discord where people would talk every day and be in voice channels just playing other games together. War was doing really great, most people were Ultimate Champs. And literally a week or so after the update dropped activity crashed. The leader then wrote a really, really long message in the discord thanking the members for the time together, but it just isn't fun anymore and most really active and core people already left/are inactive so he decided to close the clan. Of course it's not just because of Evolutions, but this update was the straw that broke the camels back. Just awful decisions by Supercell for years destroyed this community.

[@paulekechukwu8481]

Looks like Ken is addressing it finally😁❤

[@zycienapodkarpaciu9183]

It's also sad that every year they release new feature only to abandon it after a year

[@adrian9049]

i managed to get to arena 23 and league 9 last season while being lvl 14 with lvl 14 cards but now i don’t even want to try playing the game cause i feel like i could not even compete with lvl 15 players having 1 more evolution than me. i literally can’t play the game.

[@adv8023]

I feel like they should do better with the event in the events tab. It seems they just do a draft or one locked card instead of what they used to do, like making a new card in a event. I feel they should be more creative with the event.

[@user-rs3mz4qp2z]

Brawl Stars is peaking so hard rn active playerbase and devs actually listen

[@Cool34731]

ong bro

[@ArgonPL]

for last few months i just get those 1000 credits every day and when lucky drops were released i make sure to get them, and this feels like a chore to do, its not even fun obviously.

[@freyamiles3718]

The second evolution should have been trophy/path locked. Trophies do have issues when playing against people just bellow the cutoff but you could have it so both players onky get one in that case

[@Name-kz7cd]

fr, the worst part is that almost every update is focusing on something that makes the game pay to win, i mean at least introduce new gamemodes or whatever that will just be fun and not be a reason to pay money

[@LickMyBalls69420]

btw they have a really good and unique tournament called "double evolution tournament"

[@jackroness1591]

Ken watching the timer to make sure he passes 8 minutes 😂
