    One of the craziest things that I don’t see anyone talking about is making baby goblins a new tower troop you have to upgrade. Why do they expect us to waste cards and gold on a temporary mode? Not only that, but if you actually want to get as many goblin trophies as you can for whatever reason, then you have to spend 50000 elite wild cards on said tower troop. On a card you’ll NEVER see again.

      I can share an incident. There was a bug after the update where you can't unlock the goblin tower troop if your princess troop isn't at the same level as your king tower. There were some posts about this on reddit but many kids instantly upgraded princess tower without waiting for the bug to be fixed. After 2/3 days they fixed the bug.

    I've been playing Clash Royale for a while now, and it's sad to say, but the game feels pretty dead. It's all about pay-to-win (P2W) these days. If you don't shell out cash, you can't keep up with the top players who buy their way to victory. It used to be fun and competitive, but now it's just frustrating. The balance is off, and free-to-play players don't stand a chance. It's disappointing to see a game with so much potential go down this path. What do you all think?

    • @tomas.lambert
      @tomas.lambert 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      I’m playing since it’s launch and haven’t spent a single penny on it so it sucks when you play against people who just bought their way to where you are in the game. And it’s not like it’s rare. At this point, it’s actually more surprising when you match up against someone who hasn’t a payed tower skin.
      The most frustrating part of it all is that no one is actually talking about the problems of f2p because all the content creators have to pay to stay relevant. Once you commit to a deck, you have to keep that deck because it takes a ton of time to upgrade them. The biggest problem is gold, clash royale just doesn’t give enough gold. F2p player just can’t stay relevant in the meta. Someone should actually count how long it would take a F2P player to upgrade all their cards to lvl 15. I bet that it would take more than 10 years (with the biggest issues being elite wild cards and in turn, gold)

    I feel like a lot of this stems from supercell balancing the game in such a way that rather than creating a diverse meta where a lot of win conditions have their place, they place one or many cards (new or not) on a pedestal to incentivize money spending on maxing the card, its counters, etc.
    In the end that just creates boring metas where you just see the same decks over and over again. It’s really not a healthy way to balance a game.
    Even outside of metas it just makes the game feel super predatory to most players. I can’t imagine someone reaching max level on their first deck just for supercell to add a new max level and make their deck obsolete with some new troop or card meta.

    Something that no one ever talked about but that got ruined probably permanently in this update is lower arena balance. They basically gave away level 12 goblin cards to players in arena where the average level is like 6 or 7, and where barbarel, log and giant snowball are not available. Furthermore, the prince card, which was already a mid-ladder menace by all metric was buffed to be essentially elite barbarians 2.0, the card is basically impossible to react considering the options available in low ladder. I recently lost my account and I've rarely been this mad about the balance state of the game, I swear goblin gang has like a 95% usage rate even below it's unlocking arena.

    Cannot agree more! But I have to point out that many players have more or less noticed this pattern of SC releasing crazy op cards, heros, evos, and tower troops and hoard chests, elite cards, evo shards, and gold or gems to max them out right off the update/balance changes. That might be the main reason CR is earning not as much money even after releasing tons of unbalanced things. Obviously, SC also realized this thing and stopped selling wild cards in the season shop. Not sure how this will go...

    Something that really upsets me about the game and people are not complaining enough is the specific fact of how hard it is to have a 15 level King Tower. I’ve been playing the game for years and I am nowhere near having a level 15 King Tower. Of course it wasn’t that bad, the only disadvantage regarding other people having more leveled cards than you was that the towers only had more HP and that’s it, you could always use the events tab and it all would be level 11.
    But wait… Clash Royale had the brilliant idea of adding 2 evo slots, ah, but only for level 15 players.
    It is incredible how much more advantage it gives you in a battle to have just one more evolution than your opponent, and it’s not like the game is fair in the event tab anymore because guess what? Level 15 players are the only ones with 2 evos there too.
    It’s just ridiculous how much the game basically makes you to buy their offers because otherwise you’re pretty much going to lose every game you play.

    I was consistently a top ladder F2P player (never spent a dime on this game) and I quit about a year ago when evolutions first released. It was super obvious evos were a cash grab and just a horrible update bc they gave a free advantage with no drawback (so who wouldn’t play them), and you could only get them with money. I bet anyone would prefer an update such as 2v2 ladder over p2w evos and tower troops where something fun actually changed about the game rather than more overpowered cards f2p players can’t get. And what’s with the 20 offers in the shop page? It’s so clear devs don’t gaf about the player base anymore. Nowadays I rarely open up the game, and when I do it’s to play a triple draft friendly battle game with my friend. No evos, no tower troops, no bs, just all strategy. I used to play this game religiously every day and now I open it once a month max. It’s a shame what happened to the game I loved, and honestly it’s easier now to pretend clash Royale is still in its old glory days rather than what it became- a dead cash grab game.

    Something really scares me. Part of the reason CoC is making so much right now is their monthly bar events, each with a 6 dollar (i think I forgot) "pass" that just gets you extra rewards. The big reward is Epic Equipment, which besides Giant Gauntlet and maybe Frozen Arrow, none of them are really required on an account (rocket spear, football, and fireball). Goblin Queen's journey might be a play to use a similar system, with the big reward being evolution or even future new cards. I am praying I am just crazed and I did not either predict the future, or get the attention of a lurking supercell employee because forcing F2ps to grind a ladder while the rich buy a 10$ pass to unlock the busted card instantly is the most Supercell thing possible.

    The game mode incentivizes buying the new op goblin cards. Once you play above 3000 trophies (where level 15 cards are allowed) trophy progression slows to about 12 per match.

    Honestly as an average clash royal player (lvl 48, 8000 trophies) who plays a few matches a day this new mode has been very fun and I've actually enjoyed the update. While yea, it might suck that they release unbalanced cards here and there it really at the end of the day when these cards finally gets balanced just adds 3 actually unique cards to the games card pool. When it comes to the goblin demolisher being op, i would like to point out that it is the only cards everyone starts with, and the fact that you don't unlock every single card at the start actually gives me some fun new cards to look forward to unlock once i reach enough trophies. PLUS the trophy road guarantees the unlock of the cards, so most good players who are stacked up with wildcards and or books will be able to max the cards rather quickly.

    For the goblin machine, maybe they could massively nerf its hp so it doesn’t have as much as a skeleton king or a mighty miner and increase the rocket attack time to 5 seconds so it’s easier to take out when mirrored.
    As for the goblin curse, maybe remove the amplification damage and make it transmogrify troops into cursed goblins that are more fragile than regular goblins so the princess tower can one shot them. It’s just like there are cursed hogs for the mother witch.

    Yeah long story short I’m f2p and I was luckily able to push to 3k trophies on goblin queen’s journey, despite my underleveled goblin demolisher and goblin machine, which I’m very proud. Except now, I’ve hit a brick wall and every player I face up there has over-leveled cards + towers compared to me. Level 15 interactions ruin the game. It takes the strategy out and makes games an unnecessary uphill battle, all while the p2w player you’re battling bms and mocks you, knowing full well they have that unfair advantage. It’s so frustrating. I don’t know why the cap is at level 15. It makes it literally impossible for f2p players to effectively climb in the new game mode. I wish the exclusive emote I’m missing was available at 3k, not 3400. I probably won’t ever be able to get it unless some miracle happens. rip. I tried my best. this game is so p2w.

    now this game genuinely prooved the humour-when our parents said "game is just a time waste" this is only for the P2W players like me
    you rich men are not lucky
    even we are bot unlucky
    we are just highly patient🙂
    Fun fact- If we wait 10 years for max then after 10 years they will add another upgrade which will take over 100 years to max without paying money😂
    Don't worry, If I quit the game I will be still you true subscriber🥰

    The demolished is totally broken. If it’s played at the bridge you almost can’t do anything to avoid damage, besides play a tower.

    Random side note, whenever I watch TH-cam videos I never get a clash royale ad unless it’s on a clash royale TH-cam video which just seems ironic

    Aren’t locking the goblin cards in the new mode the same as locking other cards in trophy road

    Its crazy that theres 17 offers they want you to buy in the shop. It makes it impossible to go in the shop to see the emotes, trader and the market. It does need to stop.

    Always been a f2p player, but this time i at least bought the gold pass so i wouldnt lose my mind trying to get the goblin machine as all the cards i was using to climb were stuck in level 11

    We could simply stop this by just stop paying in this game, if everyone stop paying, they don't do profits but i know you would probably say to me that there still people that gonna pay no matter what

      Idiots will still pay to play so it's pointless

    4:40 also we haven’t had a new card since the Phoenix, we literally do not have the data for a balanced card on release

    What they need to do is add
    Personalities to the troops. Brawl stars brawlers talk and have personalities. That’s why I believe the troops should have voice lines.
