How Clan Wars 2 Changed Clash Royale Forever

- You either hate it, or you hate it more. Clan Wars 2 to most players is just a reminder of the negative side of Clash Royale. Although there is room to argue it's better than Clan Wars I, the events leading up to this update and the release of it were enough to bring out the worst in the player base.
This aged poorly, we got something worse.
Lmfao
It has been 1 year since I player CR, what happened?
@@arealhumanbean3058 It's fucked
@@arealhumanbean3058 long story short they made it more pay to win by nerfing pass royale and on top of that made it more expensive. They also made it so you can no longer earn chests from 2v2 and party game modes.
@@arealhumanbean3058 also, you can get an archer queen in arena 1
I liked how Clan Wars 1 told us to use our skills with the cards we were given, rather than using the popular decks. All we really wanted was better rewards for our troubles in Clan Wars 1, and instead we got a uneccessary makeover after waiting for literal seasons. We better get a Clan Wars 3 going back to its original routes and even more!
they probably will make a Clan Wars 3 cuz nobody likes Clan Wars 2
CW3 prolly be the 2023 MAJOR UPDATE.
2022 was Path of Legends.
2021 was Level 14 and Champions.
All they need to do is bring back hard level caps by league.
Also return all game modes like 2v2 and tournament standard (Draft, Mirror, Classic Decks).
@@DSPGP As long as Drewbian is with Clash Royale, we're gonna get worse/boring updates
Remember KFC Clash?
Clan Wars 3! The only playable mode is Touchdown and only maxed accounts (including star points) can do it!
Hard to believe that Supercell somehow made the CW2's update no longer the worse update. Hope you can somehow make a video on what is currently going on semi soon.
Fr this shit annoying
Lvl 15 now lol
It’s somehow gotten worse
Babe wake up gratz uploaded

Oh boy, can't wait to see a future video's thumbnail with the captions " Worse than CW2 update! "
The worst update An update for losers worse than CW2
I've never even downloaded clash royale yet your videos always and will forever capture my attention. Your videos are so well put together and there's never any moment that is lackluster
Try it. Supercell have made a lot of mistakes over the years but imo it is easier to get into the game than ever because of all the new updates
Today, it takes a new player 6 years to max out compared to 3 years pre-Level 14 and Champions (assuming you got no life outside of this game too).
Besides that, Gratz is a on his way to becoming a legendary content creator spotlighting these rapacious dev decisions.
The mark of a great content creator. They can make you invested in any topic with good writing and presentation.
@@UserName-xc4elno, games a waste of time. just a cash grab and has never helped anyone except for greedy devs. boring as hell anyway.
Interesting, I don’t think I could watch clash videos if I were a nonplayer. I wouldn’t know what’s going on, imo it’s not a simple and intuitive game that can be fun to watch like soccer even if you don’t play it.
As a mostly free to play player who played a bit on launch but only started playing again in 2021 and not knowing how generous the old quest and clan war systems were and finding out is really disappointing as I find it a big struggle to advance and keep up with other players and the meta
Game was better before Level 14 and Champions. You could max out a new account in 3 years. Now it's 6 years and that's assuming you ain't got a life.
they just want you to buy pass royale... i mean lvl 9 king tower players have lvl 13 decks now
Magic items help a lot of free 2 play players
@@thehijabiinblack3892It's all by design init? Magic Items and tokens let you max out decks as a Level 10/11. Easily fixed level capping cards to King Level, but they know this IMBALANCE creates the pull and emotion.
"Hopefully 2020 remains the worst year in clash royale."
It did not.
XD
Yeah it's painful now
Its even worse now; bro jinxed it again
It ain’t bad
@@jjhbossit is lol
that was the tipping point for my patience towards CR II left. The clan that I invested years in kicked me out because I wasnt leveled up enough. It was a slap in the face since I was originally the vice guild master, demoted and then made a mere member, replaced by a new player who had level 13 cards
Damn that hurts, did they really value level over loyalty..
That is no way to be removed from a clan. Clanhood is brotherhood
@@SHARKNADO_2006 this is clash royale, everything has gone to sh*t
@@AkariHiZorujust like real life!
2021 was a really really good year, it was so great that I decided to come back to the game after leaving it back in 2018. your videos help me catch up with all the clash royale history I've missed, thanks! :)
2021 was a terrible year. Level 14 and Champs DOUBLED THE GRIND for new players from 3 to 6 years (and that's assuming you ain't got a life).
Funny cuz I quit Clash Royale around that year before I came back this year
@@ZiggyNext u actually wrote 2 same comments and liked yourself from 5 accounts twice(that's confirms you got no life, but still angry midladder reddit casual who had no idea about resource managment and possibility to max out from gc's and tourneys in less then year and half)
@@ZiggyNext if u check the clash Royale comments in early 2021 it was filled with “maxed” out players complaining for updates regarding to them, supercell delivered by giving them champions and level 14, a reason to grind and play the game again like they asked.
@@zuri1379 OG player myself working on piling up CC badges now. Game was in its best state in 2021 before Lvl 14 and Champs. Progression from 0 to 100 took under 3 yrs. Party Modes and 2v2 were front and center. Would hate being a new player post-2021 because of the 5-12 yr progression model without spending money and the RPS/imbalance is the worst it's ever been.
Oh boy can't wait for a documentary on the Seasonal token update
Not anymore I guess
Esto envejecera mal XD

Level 15: Allow me to introduce myself
love how people are coming back on this video to agree on how well this video aged
That and laugh about how this video main focus aged like milk left in the yard at the middle of a day on summer
AKA The recent update where we got the awful scam of a pass royale, the "nerf" of party mode and the Megadraft event - And of course, the horrible new seasonal shop with his basically new worthless currency
I came back to Clash Royale a few months ago because of your videos. I then joined a random clan and did war battles. I hated it alot because my cards were very underleveled and barely had any gold. But now I have slight better cards but I still hate the match making. Can't go in a match without facing a maxed out guy with lv 14 Elite Barbs and have nothing powerful enough to counter it. I even asked my clanmates and they said the same. Wish they could add a level cap or something.
SC wants the imbalance to encourage spending to level up because they made progression a 6-12 year model depending how active you play. Magic Items, trade tokens, Level 14, IMBALANCE CHANGES, RPS are all embedded into the game to create all these imbalances. That's also why they removed level caps in Clan Wars.
Honestly, while Supercell is quite a greedy company, they genuinely care about their community and they know they made a banger PvP game they would be foolish to kill. They are also being kinder to newer and F2P players, which is never a bad thing.
@@dashingclasher CR defo the best mobile game to ever come out imo. SC, unfortunately, have continued to act in bad faith more and more. Improving the F2P and casual experience is a MYTH, a LIE. Couple years ago, you could completely max out in 3 years. Now it's double that. PoL forced more grinding and playtime just like CW2. Everything is orchestrated to spend more time in the game in order to receive the same rewards as before so they are driving your time and effort. The vast majority don't realize this.
@@FLYNTL Well, yeah, but most players don't care about fully maxing out. To a good amount of people, making out means having a few decks at level 14 that they enjoy playing, and that has gotten easier. I think the primary target is the enjoyment of the player, and I think that's gotten better and worse, but Supercell is definitely taking steps. They definitely do have their faults, but I think their intentions are (usually) in good heart.
Use cards that arent that dependent on their level like skelly army or inferno tower/dragon
Being able to play draft with tournament standard card levels on collection days in cw1 was under appreciated af. Then playing a mix-match deck all my clan mates also had to play for the war day was so much more lighthearted and enjoyable than 16 1v1s a week with only 4 different decks.
Edit: Also the shared set of cards to make the battle day deck and the team contribution going towards levels for battle day made for a more involved clan experience - more like you were a team not a group of 1v1 players.
I remember all the clan sharing their decks with the cards we had available to help the newer players have an idea of some decent decks to use
❤️Yes bro and the excitment when spectating for last clan mate doing his battle ..😊😏😫
imo it helped you improve so much too, you wanted to use the highest lvl ones and out of those had to figure out a good synergy and learn how to play all the cards there pretty well
This update: "Hold my beer."
Bro your content is literally one of the best, literally top notch quality and i hope you'll get the recognition you deserved
Lot of the OG players left around the CW2 especially on the subreddit. If only they knew about Level 14, Champions and Slash Royale. Would further validate their decision. Now, SC has a new generation of players that are unaware about the history and how players are just cash cows to be milked every few years until they realize they've been properly hosed.
Honeslty his growth in 3 months proves how quality is always appreciated
We need a history of every clash royale meta since launch in 2016 to now in 2022
It’s only been 3 months and this video is starting to age.
Clan wars 1 had such a competitive element to it. You had 2 chances. The new one just feels like another ladder, there’s not enough on the line per battle.
I liked clan wars 1 because it helped a lot to become better in the game. It improved the deck building skills, and I think I was generally more fun to play using different decks aganis different decks. Of course it had some issues too. For example if a clan member did not go for war day it was detramental if he did collection day because they were counted towards the war day participants what was a factor of clan matchmaking. And it was not explained in game, so you always have to repeat that to your clan. And if sombady was losing a lot of war day it could felt like thay are not adding a lot. With the new point system it feels like everyone is helping as long as they participate, but I don't like the war deck mechanics, because it encuarges using the same 4 deck in every war, so it got boring really fast for me.
The only beef I had with clan wars is their refusal to set it up to tournament standards. It's true that you get a reward just for playing (even if you lose), but no one wants to voluntarily get their ass kicked by a lvl14 hog rider just so they could get medals to help their clan.
**Worst update so far** should have been the title lol
cant wait for part 2, if you know you know 🤣🤣🤣
Bro i had completely forgot how they were supposed to give rewards from Quests in Clan wars 2 😂
this video aged like milk 💀
This aged like milk
this was the update that full on made me stop, and due to updates (especially champions) I have no craving to go back to the game. I have nostalgia for this game, but my memory of it is foggy. Last year of middle school till the last year of high school. It will remain near and dear to me only as a memory.
"I quit because of content I wasn't going to play" Smartest Clash royale player
@@Cluelessss_ but the new content are pretty shit, indeed. The only good one in a while were path of legends and mastery tasks
@@joaopedrodasilva7049 Please explain what makes it shit
@@Cluelessss_
Banners and the magic item that upgrades cards to your king lvl for a short time: this was a cool att in the first look, but they fucked up the rewards in the free entry challenges, which make them reduced by half of what was to be. However, supercell fixed it and now the gold rewards are the same they used to be (i am just saying this because they fixed and now things are ok)
Champions: when they released they were only used and lvl 14 plus u didnt had any way of winning them besides real money
Lvl 14: basically added up a lvl that made the game way more p2w => for example for common cards:
-when the max lvl were lvl 13, u needed a amount around 8500 cards
-now with max lvl being lvl 14, u need a amount around 12000 cards
Cw2: pretty shit because of system level and the time you need to grind to legendary legue in boat
What about u, what do u think of it?
@@joaopedrodasilva7049 Lvl14 did not in any way make the game more pay to win. If you were already maxed before it came out you would have no issue with maxing your main deck. And CW2 is the best way to get gold in the entire game. And not getting in legendary league is a skill issue not a game problem
The worst update so far*
There is no way every single OST you use in your videos is from my favorite games. Mario Galaxy, Hollow Knight, Minecraft, it's absurd how well they match, seems like we have the same taste in terms of videogames lmao
Been waiting for a Clash Royale content creator like you for years, thought I was the only one actually remembering and caring about the entire history of this game. I love what you do and how you do it. Keep up the good work!
Haha was just about to comment the same thing on the hollow knight music
Whats the music towards the end?
Great job on this video. Really liked the background music especially the hollow knight one
I absolutely love your backround musics!
The thumbnail needs to be updated for the Second worse
As a developer, usually engine work gets delayed until there's no other options than an overhaul. For example if you have really bad backend code structure and adding something simple like golden colored names takes a week, that's probably really bad. If for example reworking it takes a month, but the feature takes a week, a company might choose for the fast and easy option most of the times, until it becomes cost-effective to do the other thing instead (for example if a feature takes 3 months and the overhaul costs 3 as well which makes the feature easier to implement).
It can't be THAT bad to take 1 week just for golden names. You either need a spaggetti code, suck optimisation, or being left without internet.
@@edipedipbulmaz I mean... there's only specific cases where a name should be golden, so there's more to it than simply "make it gold". Depending on your code that could be easy or hard to implement
@@mijkolsmith wdym "spesific cases"? Im talking about the coding part. Your code should be so bad that you can't really add anything.
@@edipedipbulmaz Specific cases as in, not everyone has a golden name always. Sometimes company code do be like that.
@@mijkolsmith everyone not having a golden name has nothing to do with a golden name taking 1 week to code
your videos are great man. watched them all from the start
Always excited when there's a new video
It is very impressive how quickly you upload 20-30 minute videos that are extremely entertaining. Mainly due to the constant editing that makes these videos very engaging. I like TH-camrs like you, that prove that anyone can rise to the top of TH-cam, with just a video editor. (not to overshadow your editing skills, because it is very impressive) You will probably be the top Clash Royale TH-camr very soon.
Best part is tackling the controversial issues and calling out the devs. Only Ash used to do this. That's called authenticity and genuinity. Call a spade a spade.
This is some of the best CR content ever. Not just deck uploads or livestream uploads, keep it up!
Suuurt
Surety surt
these videos are so good, every day i check yt to see if you have uploaded. and if you have, i instantly watch it. thanks
this vid didnt age well
You have no idea how happy I would be if clan wars 1 came back, it was FINE man...
Right?It was grindy,but i remember actually having fun chatting and spectating clan battles unlike today where i dont want to even log in
“People were actually getting hyped for balance changes”This really made me think about the game i play where literally the only hype for it anymore is it’s third month balance patches.
I will be honest i’ve never played clan wars and even clan wars 2. I do play it but only lader and challenges i loved it when there was a clan chat and never really cared about the clan wars and etc… anyone else like me?
You will have million subs soon. Love the quality content, I clicked as fast as I could when I saw video uploaded 2 minutes ago in my recommendations!
love your content bro, not many people want to make video essays about video game history and you're real good at it
The update for losers is going to give clan wars 2 a run for it's money...
finally next video! you are a great youtuber :D
Love your videos, they are the best
The update made me quit for 2 years lol. After I came back my clan was long dead 😔
This video didn’t age well. It’s now the 2nd worse update :)
You picked some absolute bangers for the background
Once Gratz upload it's amazing quality!
Keep up the great vids! Love the effort put in
18:50 "And just when things were starting to look at little uphill supercell released the electro giant"
I am dead 💀💀
great viedeo havent watched it yet ,still watching an apple add right now but love you content❤
I dropped the game way back before clan war 2 but only here for ur summary videos Thanks for the vids!!
Nu-uh
We got something EVEN worse :3
I think the main issue I had with clan wars 2 was the fact they removed quests. Over the last 2 years supercell has consistently done every possible thing to completely kill the lvl 1 trophy pushing community. I had a lvl 1 acc over 5k trophies and now they are literally impossible to do. You can't get over arena 1 so your always fighting bots. You also cant get any cards besides arena 1 cards. Clan wars 2 was the first major step towards getting rid of the lvl 1 accs by removed the free legendary we could get. The next step they took was locking pass royale till like lvl 5.
I just love your vids, and when i heard you were using greenpath's theme for the first 5 minutes, man oh man :)
It feels like you don’t upload very often but its just because I’m anticipating your next video.
Well judging by the most recent update cw2 can't have been the worst anymore...
Not the worst update anymore 🤣
Oh wow. Clan Wars 2 was released on my b-day. Great content, keep it up!
for a long time we thought this game hit rock bottom here
little did we know they could go deeper
It’s clearly to make more money. This game is totally pay to win since that update. It basically required you to have 32 cards maxed or high level if you want to perform well in clan wars matches and since that is really hard to do if you’re f2p you’re basically rewarded if you pay
these videos really make my day, keep up the great work gratz!
Great vid bro ,great recap!You watched close up!😊🙏✌️👍
this channel is criminally underrated
Aged like fine wine
i really like the hollow knight soundtrack you put in the background. Keep it up!
Wow gratz 30k!!! I think youll become a supercell partner soon
Ill never forget og clan wars and that chest. So weird how so many ppl didnt like it until it was gone
The only thing I would want for CW2 is a way to opt out of it. It’s an absolute chore, and when I went all in for it, I experienced so much clash royale burnout that I stopped playing for months and only just recently got back into playing the game.
My boy woke up one day and thought I’m finna go ham on clash royales mistakes
i still feel bad for Drew till now
This update is the many reasons as to WHY I stopped playing royale in support of brawlstars.
Just the fact that when they added the new category of cards into the game that really felt unexpected instead of creating or opening a community of people who were able to help create new cards (IE Brawlstars Skin design community) it really made the game feel more bland and less enjoyable. Especially with the unexpected balance updates that made cards super broken or balance that really felt as if it didn’t matter in the meta format
Also the fact that as you stated, the removal of chests and ways to get rewards really killed it for me
Nice explanation of the whole era of royale
At some point in the timeline they made huge changes (replacements) in the dev team due to the bad updates which was very crucial for CR to have somewhat good updates
I remember playing this game in elementary school 2017 and going crazy when I got the ice wizard as my first legendary out of a free chest. I miss the simpler days of this game.
Always nice to see your videos, Can we have a video on the most hated cards in clash ? Have a nice day
2 years later and Clan Wars 2 still has problems that are very unfair. The card leveling being the most offensive in my opinion.
"Yell at Drew here" had me dead lol💀
Great video Gratz keep it up!
Still can't get over that there are essay videos about the clash games, funniest shit I've ever seen.
Honestly I’ve been really enjoying these videos because I only recently started playing this game and when I hear someone discussing these topics I don’t really understand the lore behind it. These videos really help explain the lore to me so thank you
Removal of quests were pretty much a big middle finger to f2p players who just wants to progress and have fun. Ah yes, they did the similar thing with lvl 14 too.
TBH Supercell is the same as Blizzard when it comes to their games. They release good polished games that can stand the test of time, but since they have no real competition, they get overly cocky and stop caring about innovation in said games, therefore leading to a dead game
I was gonna go cure cancer but you posted, time to watch.
Your content is amazing, would love to see you cover other games’ history you love in the future
Supercell just released the worst update ever (update for losers)
All of your vidoes are bangers
Gratz uploaded, day is better
18:51 New Egiant video coming soon? 🫢
Clearly he hasn't seen the update for losers yet lmao
This video is old
He said that the update for losers is why the game is going down hill
Great video bro, keep it up oh btw could do do for a video about the history of creators like SirTag or B-rad pls its just a suggestion:)
I love your vids love it love it
grazt idk your opinion on these two community managers, actually idk if they did anything in the background but the development team and both of these community managers are like F tier even worse
youre like the only good yt channel that makes video documentaries on clash royale, and its fricking amazing. your content is in a whole other level, great job gratz
Great to spotlight the history of the game and the developer decisions like Slash Royale, CW2, Level 14, Champions.
I got a Clash Royale ad during this video
you are so good at story telling mate
Keep up the good job ❤️
Yo Gratz, do a piece about the RPS that is built into CR unlike chess.
