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!
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).
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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
@@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.
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
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! :)
@@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)
@GoonGaming 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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).
@@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
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.
“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.
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
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.
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.
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 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?
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.
@@Tub-Nub 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?
@@Joaopedro563-g7h 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
I’d argue that the September 2018 update was worse. That’s what made every card feel the same (with the new level system) and it made it so everyone started to overlevel.
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
I only started playing this game regularly this summer, event tho i created my account when the game launched global. I don't like it nor play it that much, but your videos are just amazing. They are so interesting and fun to watch that even someone like me can really appreciate them, and i always look forward to your next upload. Keep up the good work king !
i still has a memory about me getting a legendary from clan wars, i think it's a ram rider, or a electro wizard back in like 2018/2019 clan war chest is one of the best back then, it feels like it's having a 20% or more chance to get legendary card
I saw someone in the video when the date of the update was revealed A guy said "please make more clash a rama they cure my depression" I agree with the guy they are hella entertaining
Ya clan wars 2 was really something when it came out, I still don't play war honestly and half the clan doesn't either, maybe a battle or two when I'm bored but that's about it. I do think the game is in a better state now, even with the balanced monk to an extent and the red eagle
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
I could never understand people going "UHNG! IT'S BEEN TWO MONTHS SINCE A DECENT UPDATE!" Meanwhile I'm over here playing Team Fortress like "damn bro that must suck. Anyway, I'm going to go enjoy the game that hasn't even had a balance change in over 3 years."
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.
This is a good video but a couple things off/missing. Seth was not a community manager, he was a game designer. The fact that both Seth and Drew left Clash Royale shortly after CW2 suggests to me that management wanted new faces behind the game. The CEO of Supercell also referenced the CW2 controversies in his blog post the following February. Drew had made a lengthy post outlining many possible solutions to ALL player complaints. More than two years later priorities have shifted and it looks like many those solutions will never get implemented. In addition, CMs have stated several times that they don’t have CW on the roadmap. So the game’s most hated feature is just left there stuck in its current state.
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
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
The thing I want them to at least put attention to is returning players, last played like 3 -4 years and returned to see what's happening and I'm being matched with same king lvl but 2 to 3 level card gap they at least should add something to help returning players to catch up
SC deliberately created this imbalance. Magic Items, Trade Tokens, Level 14, IMBALANCE CHANGES, lack of standard deviation in the matchmaking algo. Ladder yea we get it but nobody needs to play that unfair shit anyway, it's the cash cow. But creating imbalance matchups in Party Modes? That takes the cake, and we haven't even started talking about RPS the biggest, hidden lie about this game. It ain't a game of skill, it's a game of RPS.

Wow gratz 30k!!! I think youll become a supercell partner soon
2 years later and Clan Wars 2 still has problems that are very unfair. The card leveling being the most offensive in my opinion.
Still can't get over that there are essay videos about the clash games, funniest shit I've ever seen.
The update for losers is going to give clan wars 2 a run for it's money...
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!
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.
your videos are great man. watched them all from the start
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
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
“Clash Royale is being praised today” little did he know, that wouldn’t last long LMAO.
Oh wow. Clan Wars 2 was released on my b-day. Great content, keep it up!
This channel is gonna blow tf up in 2023, mark my words. Keep up the stellar content my guy
Once Gratz upload it's amazing quality!
these videos really make my day, keep up the great work gratz!
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?
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
@@Tub-Nub but the new content are pretty shit, indeed. The only good one in a while were path of legends and mastery tasks
@@Joaopedro563-g7h Please explain what makes it shit
@@Tub-Nub
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?
@@Joaopedro563-g7h 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
I’d argue that the September 2018 update was worse. That’s what made every card feel the same (with the new level system) and it made it so everyone started to overlevel.
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.
Gratz uploaded, day is better
I only started playing this game regularly this summer, event tho i created my account when the game launched global. I don't like it nor play it that much, but your videos are just amazing. They are so interesting and fun to watch that even someone like me can really appreciate them, and i always look forward to your next upload. Keep up the good work king !
for a long time we thought this game hit rock bottom here
little did we know they could go deeper
"Yell at Drew here" had me dead lol💀
i really like the hollow knight soundtrack you put in the background. Keep it up!
This aged like milk
i still has a memory about me getting a legendary from clan wars, i think it's a ram rider, or a electro wizard back in like 2018/2019
clan war chest is one of the best back then, it feels like it's having a 20% or more chance to get legendary card
18:51 New Egiant video coming soon? 🫢
I saw someone in the video when the date of the update was revealed
A guy said "please make more clash a rama they cure my depression"
I agree with the guy they are hella entertaining
Ya clan wars 2 was really something when it came out, I still don't play war honestly and half the clan doesn't either, maybe a battle or two when I'm bored but that's about it. I do think the game is in a better state now, even with the balanced monk to an extent and the red eagle
i'm a brawl stars guy who hasn't touched clash royale in years, but i'm subbing anyways bc your vids are so entertaining
Keep up the great vids! Love the effort put in
My boy woke up one day and thought I’m finna go ham on clash royales mistakes
16:44 this made me laugh a little but also shows just how toxic these people are
in brawl stars, 2020 was one of the best years. but in clash royale there happened almost nothing, it was so confusing.
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
you are so good at story telling mate
Im so happy they recovered after that mess. Since the champions update the game is alive and actually fun again.
I could never understand people going "UHNG! IT'S BEEN TWO MONTHS SINCE A DECENT UPDATE!" Meanwhile I'm over here playing Team Fortress like "damn bro that must suck. Anyway, I'm going to go enjoy the game that hasn't even had a balance change in over 3 years."
difference is that tf2 is already dead.
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.
Always excited when there's a new video
Every time gratz uploads it feels like chrismas morning,
Seeing this exactly 4 years after on July 3rd
Aged like fine wine
22:48 idk why but the delivery on "killed the magic archer" made me laugh 💀
Well judging by the most recent update cw2 can't have been the worst anymore...
i still feel bad for Drew till now
Worst update ever?
Clash Royale: “hold my beer..”
Part 2 soon?
This video didn’t age well. It’s now the 2nd worse update :)
Mmm. Hollow knight BGM. I see you are a man of culture
This is a good video but a couple things off/missing. Seth was not a community manager, he was a game designer. The fact that both Seth and Drew left Clash Royale shortly after CW2 suggests to me that management wanted new faces behind the game. The CEO of Supercell also referenced the CW2 controversies in his blog post the following February.
Drew had made a lengthy post outlining many possible solutions to ALL player complaints. More than two years later priorities have shifted and it looks like many those solutions will never get implemented. In addition, CMs have stated several times that they don’t have CW on the roadmap. So the game’s most hated feature is just left there stuck in its current state.
What are the songs used? Can’t get enough of these
Look at his other new videos, he puts them in the description now
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
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
Still waiting for CW1 to come back
The thing I want them to at least put attention to is returning players, last played like 3 -4 years and returned to see what's happening and I'm being matched with same king lvl but 2 to 3 level card gap they at least should add something to help returning players to catch up
SC deliberately created this imbalance. Magic Items, Trade Tokens, Level 14, IMBALANCE CHANGES, lack of standard deviation in the matchmaking algo. Ladder yea we get it but nobody needs to play that unfair shit anyway, it's the cash cow. But creating imbalance matchups in Party Modes? That takes the cake, and we haven't even started talking about RPS the biggest, hidden lie about this game. It ain't a game of skill, it's a game of RPS.
@@BLET_55artem55 that's not enough when you came back and find that even level 12 people have a maxed out deck while you're deck is not even full 13
Ive been playing Clash Royale for 6 years but never have i ever once played clan wars 2
Video idea : How the log has been able to have a consistent use rate of 50-55% and still avoid the nerf.
It got nerfed, goblins get 2 shotted instead of 3 shotted by tower
