To prevent the spreading of misinformation and to correct a slight mistake of mine, I should clarify that the Lucky Drop Glitch (Reroll Glitch) was iOS exclusive due to unknown reasons, probably something to do with Clash Royale's servers being horrible as always. I should also add that instead of Supercell losing a lot of money, they only lost an estimated thousand dollars, mainly thanks to the glitch in question being contained hastily. Ironic, considering there exists a lot of other active glitches in the game that haven't been patched just yet but ah well, anything to protect their precious piggybank! Update 2: New situation has developed, thankfully, the part about people being permanently banned has de-escalated into a monthly ban, furthermore, it seems this video is being exposed to people again thanks to the new glitch involving thousands of legendary cards and champions being pulled from chests thanks to Clash Royale's unwillingness to publish balance changes alongside a maintenance update. From what I know, the situation is still ongoing but thousands of players managed to upgrade their cards for essentially free whilst others missed out, it'll be interesting to see how Supercell responds...
At least Brawl Stars has buttons to skip over to the specific section of the shop. It's buggy rn but oh well. Clash Royale's UI doesn't allow for that though since it's landscape and not horizontal
fun fact: double tapping the shop icon instantly scroll to the free section of the shop, tapping it again scrolls to the emotes, etc. This tip saved me so much time as a f2p player
If clash of clans sticks to their plans that they made in their video where they address all problems with their game with honest responses (which clash royale should do) then I only see Clash of clans going up. thank god I have never spent a single dime on clash royale though
Princess tower levels don’t technically do anything anyway. You can’t level up towers past the king tower, but the princess tower instantly levels up when the king tower does.
The main reason Clash of Clans has still remained strong is that Clash of Clans has not doubled down on monetization. The recent Evo nerf teaser is just proof that they are desperate to try to keep their playerbase. It's sad, because I have been playing Clash royale and while the game is mostly fun in the side modes, the main ladder is so bad that i have much more fun ignoring it
Even the time clash of clans increased the gold pass price, they compensated by vastly increasing the value you got out of it. Even now, I am pretty sure they are looking for alternative methods of making money so they can change some of the core gameplay designs to be more player friendly
@@CojaGamezClash of clans at least admitted the hero upgrade timers are for making money, unlike cr who try to justify adding level 15 as "it being highly requested"
i agree that clash has fallen off but people like you complain about the game no matter what. when they dont do anything you criticize them but when they do something you call them desperate and sad like pick a side bro☠
brawl stars and its unprecedented comeback is something i need to make a video on at some point, i know it's been done before by Functional but i've got my own dollars and dimes to offer regarding that subject myself, but that's for later down the line - it's truly epic to see how far it's risen though, especially from the depths it once was stranded in
@@NaidvarRambles the funny thing is that it's BS'es THIRD comeback over it's history. They came back from overall boredom with Global launch, then after the Gears update and now they're coming back from Hypercharges. Let's hope they'll come back from mutations...
@@BLET_55artem55what's wrong with mutations? This is like complaining about raid weekends in clash of clans, it's merely an event that you can not even partake in if you liked
Crazy how the community predicted this, gave fixes and compromises, and it still went to shit. Guess they’re just gonna try and cash out as soon as possible lmao
the fact the game is struggling to now draw in new players without essentially fronting extremely pay to win packs really does go to show that the game is lost and probably won't be redeeming itself anytime soon - i hope they find a sense of direction as strip away a lot of the scummy stuff and clash royale is a really enjoyable casual game but i will never touch ladder until they nerf the best card in the game, the credit card i also noticed that you're the person behind the "I HATE Supercell" video, nice work on producing that, by the way!
@@NaidvarRamblesit’s hard to balance cards. Look at the meta, to try to balance cards by adding dagger dutches to make those cards weaker and it just shifted the meta to cards that can beat that tower. I’m not trying to say what they are doing is right, but they are not using the credit card to be cash hungry, they using it as a lazy way of avoiding having to really balance the game. Who cares if 2 decks just rule the meta spend 40$ to have those decks maxed out and we don’t have to balance anything; is basically their mindset with this.
Its absolutely baffling how despite being under the same company, the sheer difference between the clash of clans and the clash royale team. The CR team is greedy, rarely listens to players and is all around pretty bad. Wheras the clash of clans team is generally really well liked and most of the time if they mess up, they are honest about it and rectify it. More so, they are very open and receptive to the community. Idk how two polar opposite team philosophies exist under the same company, but its wild. If the CR team took some notes from the clash of clans team, they might be better
I think they're too deep now to do so, the game is fucked beyond recover; the level 15 cards, the card EVOS, the towers having its own level. They fractured the game so much, in order to monetize as much as it was possible, that I don't think it's possible to fix anymore. Once the whales leave, the game will die
I can’t stand clash royale anymore. Raising the level cap again means that I am now punished even harder for trying to level up and practice any new deck I want to try. The game genuinely puts so much pressure on players to never for any reason play anything other than the same deck they’ve already been playing for years. It’s so fucking boring. Maybe I don’t want to play golem anymore supercell! So stop fucking raising the level cap and evolutions that force you into the same deck you already play because playing anything else costs too much time, effort, and or money! On top of that, the game is so obviously balanced in a way that those who pay money are in a far better position than those who play for free. How am I meant to afford the new knife tower troop so that I can have a meta loadout??? It’s so terrible and I don’t think they will ever attempt to fix it in the slightest
Every time they make a "f2p" update they take away something vital for f2p players. Losers update? Chests from 2v2 battles. Lucky drop? Wild cards from shop. Theyre doing it on purpose, pushing boundaries. Frankly there shouldve been more noise made about the wildcards like with the chests
@7:00 yes, they always screw over people who have been collecting emotes for years, it's especially bad when they are exclusive and the hike the price up. This is the first time I've ever heard someone else besides me complain about it.
I like the idea of it, but they are so greedy with micro transactions and the game is constantly balanced in a way where you are forced to spend money to do well. It’s not fun at all to play this game anymore
A few days ago, i picked up my old account after years of not playing, since i thought this game would be fun. Stepped into arena 9, got 3 battles in a row where my enemy had cards 4 levels above mine. Absolutely not.
i love watching content creators play the game or watch angry ppl bi**h about it on Reddit but i haven't touched it in years. Why? Cause i wasn't into the gameplay. Too hard for me, and it was genuinely upsetting to lose 8 times in a row no matter what you did. Now i don't want to touch it because i'm insanely underleveled due to inactivity. My only saving grace is spending money which I'd never do, especially not on this game. So the last time i acctually logged in was on valentines day to get free evolution ...i didn't get the free evolution.... Maybe i should've logged sooner to get the notification about it then logged on valentines to claim it? Eh, idc that much about this game anyway. It's why I couldn't bother to reinstall the game just to claim free Duchess i'm not gonna use. btw, none of those time i logged in to claim the things have i played a single match. I just collected the new thing and logged off.
Also can we talk about how they're repeating the same mistake in a row now? They released champions and added LP for free. This champion is so good and versatile, it steals the spotlight from other champions And Supercell barely does anything to revert that! The nerfs aren't enough. Then it's same thing with evolutions and now it's DD the new Tower troop!
@@markwhitt8256 well i dont want to play a game that rewards me for the amount of money i play, and not the amount of time. So glad i stopped playing this game
The most annoying thing is getting your old account back if the code doesn't send the account is gone there not resend button or something it's frustrating I had to star all over again
@@Kyrsdog_Vendor omg bro you are the sigma lonely wolf the 1% the rizzler the hunter the furry hunter the 🗿🍷 the red pill the thomas shelby the american psy the skibdi toilet tv man🤯🥶🥵🤠😨😰😱
I’ve been playing since 2016 and yeah you’re right mate this game deserves to die with all the greed that’s taken over, Gone are the days of a “new card every two weeks” but rather a new Evolutions/Champions instead. This game is a former shell of itself now
Its crazy as soon as I started getting back into this game after 3 years, every arena 5 real playershavegoescan't have 3 evolutions, everyone had level 11 hog rider, and then they bm you like they just won worlds. bro why cant this game go back to being an actually fun game.
I used to play this game religiously back in high school, but once Clan Wars II and Pass Royale were added, my interest plummeted. Level 14 and 15, and Evolutions is what truly made me leave Clash Royale, and I don't regret sticking with Brawl Stars in the slightest. That developer team actually cares about its community, and have been adding great F2P changes to make the game enjoyable for everyone. I don't blame Drew for moving away from that dumpster fire whatsoever.
I find very boring that the decks you play against are all the same spam of overpowered cards on level 15 instead of the past unique decks that were made with creativity. I am just sick of Hog Rider-Evo Firecracker-Mega Knight-evo Battleram decks. Its just soulless
Current f2p casual (7063 trophies), everyone at this level has evos, lvl 15 and already maxed out tower troops. Rarely get matched into another f2p player, this game is pain rn
~7500. Same. Been playing the game since the week it was released. I rarely get on now after they released level 15, too much greed and pay-2-win is ruining the game.
I just recently began playing CR again after not touching it ever since i was in middle school (for reference i am a senior now). It took me under a week to realize just how DISGUSTINGLY pay to win this game is
I wanted to come back but after seeing how disgustingly the game has fallen down with NOW LEVEL 15 CARDS WHICH IS WORTH MORE TIME GRINDING FFS. I was level 14 when I left the game with which maxed out deck and now I have to get to level 15 WHICH IS SO HARD !!!
@@Real_Rono *"It's not p2w"* Hate to break it to ya fam but no one gives a shit about your max trophies. Clash Royale is disgustingly p2w. Stop being so blind and ignorant.
@@Real_Rono And how much time did that take? How many years have you been playing? I have no idea why you defend such an insanely greedy game.. but for some reason you are. What you are saying is completely false however. While it is physically possible, it takes ages. Years of playtime. And I literally mean 24 hours a day for years. They made the game in a way that incentivizes spending money at every turn. including the match making against players that spend money, both so you are beat and feel the need to spend and so that spending players do get the rush from winning.
as someone who has been here sense the first few weeks of clash and stayed the whole time, and has wrote multiple papers on it. i can say its either gonna die soon completely or its gonna fix itself within a year. but with how theyve treated me and many others i believe its already dead. so long CR its been a fun ride, but unless you fix your issues your gonna die like your mini brother.. loved our time and will miss this.
I hate to do this.. but it is spelled since. You probably got auto corrected.. but my OCD just gets triggered and I had to write something. I am sorry.
I’ve been playing clash royale since before global launch, during the beta. It frankly feels disrespectful that the game doesn’t even give its most dedicated players an ounce of respect by sparing them from the constant awful shop offers. I dedicated 8 years of my life to clash royale, and this is what we get? Unbelievable. The worst part is that the clash royale shop is full of manipulations tactics. The daily deals and the daily free gift are in the shop tab at the bottom, forcing the player to scroll through all the special offers every day. This is unlike clash of clans where you are never “forced” to view the shop at all. Don’t even get me started on the elite wild scam store. You might think you’re smart by purchasing the third, most valuable deal. However, that’s exactly what they want you to do. The third deal is in money and they provide 2 crappy deals to trick you into thinking the last one is good.
Yeah a lot of psychologists have conducted research into inventing lots of these disgusting shop models to maximize profits. 1. Like offering an ingame currency that you can buy in bundels that never give you just enough for whatever would be the most common thing to buy. There will always be some leftover in game currency to incentivize players to buy more. Also the currency is supposed to obscure how much money you are really spending. That works better on some people who do not keep in mind how much money they spend on the "currency". 2. New players will always get pop ups with "insanely good" deals for very little money. That has the following reason. First if they can get you to spend money on the game, the player will feel more invested since now they have actually spend some of their hard earned money and SECOND and most important, you have now put in your payment info. Therefor you will not have to go through the hassle of typing it all in (for some payment methods) again therefor reducing the steps required to spend money. It is devilish effective too. 3. Fear of missing out deals constantly. I have never played Clash royale but I have played AFK Arena for over 1 year and I can tell you I was really vulnerable to FOMO deals. When I felt a deal would be good and they put a timer on it I just had to get it.. but money was always short. I wasted about 700 euros on that game.. and I am really ashamed to admit that now. There is a genuinenly AMAZING video out there from Josh Strife Haynes that you might already have seen called Diablo Immoral, about Diablo Immortal's insanely predatory monetizing system. And that is basically build to draw the money out of players pockets like a mobile game.
If this video got recommended to me a month ago, I would’ve if thought it was baloney. But now that they’ve removed wild cards from the shop, its so difficult to upgrade cards.
@@speedcuber-diary it is easy to obtain cards but to many levels to upgrade level 15 is the hardest collecting 50k wildcards take like 2-3 months as f2p
@@randomguy8800 for me with deck level 12.5 it takes 1 month to collect 45-55k. 25 or 35 from pol and 20k from shop, cos every week 5k for 100k gold. Also you can use 4 legendary tokens / month to get more
i quit clash royale back in early 2023, this video really showed me how theyve gotten worse and worse, meanwhile brawl stars is doing really great at the moment, i am really happy i didn't spend any money on clash royale
I had been playing Clash Royale since 2016, when in 2022, I lost my account and it couldn't be recovered. I was at very high levels, with almost all cards at level 14. Now, when I have restarted the game from scratch, I can clearly see how difficult it has got for a new player to reach high levels and arenas. Clash Royale used to be the love of my life. But now Supercell's only goal has become 'money grabbing'
I knew I had to stop playing this game when out of extreme frustration I smashed my phone over my knee and bent it at a 90 degree angle as a result. It was simply far too rage-inducing for me to enjoy consistently. As a mostly F2P player, you pretty much have to lock into 1 deck to level up to progress any meaningful amount, which might be managable when your deck is in the meta, but once an absolutely broken card gets released and similarly broken decks get made around them which completely invalidate your deck, the game becomes borderline unplayable. It feels more like torture than fun.
I was a f2p but with the wizard evo i made a compromise and bought diamond pass. The amount of stuff i got from one pass is insane. I cannot imagine how much more people who spend regularly are getting
@@museishen2132 I feel victim to a different mobile game called afk arena.. I spent about 700 euros. YOu are not alone. What a waste.. I so wish I could have that money back.
low revenue because they made the level set to 11 in party mode which disincentives players from spending to level up cards but its also a general trend with all games they lose revenue the older they get
I remember clash Royale fondly and got lucky that I quit the game when the 2nd pass was released, I couldn’t imagine watching a game I love be slowly poisoned
I remember playing CR back in 2017 and playing with my friends in high school and would just play spam decks to see just how much we could pump out, and seeing how much its devolved and become so much microtransactions is just, kinda sad
I stopped playing when lvl 15 was introduced and thank god I quit when I did. I knew that things were going bad in clash Royale but I had no clue it has gotten THIS bad.
I dropped the game about 2 years ago because I couldn't keep up with the grind to avoid getting my ass kicked in ladder. I reinstalled it a week ago to see how it's holding up and decided uninstalled immediatly after getting jumpscared by the +5 special offers people have to scroll down to reach the daily gift.
To be honest, I'm one of those people who hangs on almost solely because I hope for a 'revival' of sorts (I know that sounds crazy), and because, though I haven't spent anything worth a pencil on this game, the fact that I've played it, grinded in it - gotten to over 7 000 trophies over the course of 4 years feels like an investment. Yet even my seemingly unnatural patience is wearing off. My peers were dropping off I want to say a year ago, but it could be as long ago as 3. I'm among the last left of my peers on this burning ship, because I know I can adapt to other games if needed. I hold on because maybe, just maybe, the devs will grow brains and remember the heart of game-making; but this optimism is wearing thin. Unless my patience breaks - the 'last straw,' I might remain until it burns or is fixed. And if it burns - you can count on me to fly off the ship mocking the arrogant captains still aboard. "The captain always goes down with his ship."
Progression in CR feels like trying to get a million dollars by scavenging for coins on the street. The funnest thing I do on CR is play the classic challenges, where I play any deck I want and have equal levels to any opponents.
I used to play this game from its release to late 2017. It was toooo much for me to handle. Ive been playing CLASH OF CLANS for a decad3 and never quit once . Thats makes you wanna think which is the better game.
i started playing before global release and used to really enjoy this game, but now with the tower troops it's just unplayable and unenjoyable garbage. R.I.P. clash royale 2015-2023 🕯️
as someones whos been playing clash royale since 2016-2024, and has since moved to brawl stars, the fall of clash royale is extremely satisfying, i never spent anything on the game, but i see p2w getting worse and worse, and now the game finally crumbles.
Forgot to mention that my 2016-2018 account got permanently banned for "phishing" because i tried to log in to it too many times, it still hasn't been unbanned to this day.
Clash Royale is really trash nowadays, and really was for a few years now. My years or f2p playing can be summerised into "being good at the game, rushing like 10 arenas in a few days, getting absolutely destroyed by players 4/5/6 levels above mines, taking months to go to the next arena, not being able to change my deck that became non-meta after an update because all my other cards were 7/8 levels bellow my deck and I had no gold"... Man I miss the time we had a free wooden chest every like 4h I think
There needs to be a federal law in the US and Canada and all around the world that states that if any game has DLC or pay with real cash to acquire non-physical items and if the game servers are discontinued or the player is banned or permanently banned then all money that they have spent over the course of the lifetime of the game is returned back in full.
I recently reinstalled CR after being off for over a year. I one one latter match, due to me being one level higher than the guy and completely countered his deck. The other six games I played straight were of lvl. 15 max two evo card tryhards that my two lvl14 cards couldn't contend with. I uninstalled it again to save both my phone and my sanity.
I remember when Supercell was afraid to add certain types of cards or mechanics to Clash Royale because they didn't know what would happen with the meta or with interactions. But now after 2 years of not playing CR i see all these new evo cards and the archer queen is here? I remember specifically these types of cards being so taboo.
Meanwhile CoC has actual value offers, I'm a TH10 and there was an offer of 1200 gems for nearly 1/4th of their original price plus two Builder potions, the difference between CoC and CR is insane
Also most people forget that they nerfed a lot the mastery rewards, replacing gems with a few coins. The royale pass nerf I can kinda understand it (still shouldn't have gotten nerfed that much), but the mastery rewards weren't broken at all, they nerfed them just because yes.
Just think about what the shop used to look like. It used to be just the cards you can buy with gold and whatever free thing they gave you, now you have to scroll down through 6 pages of filth to get your 5 free tombstones...
I remember one of my friends making a canadian account and downloading the “beta” version for our whole friend group back in middle school. I played the game for around a year, stopped not too long after Jungle Arena was added I think. Just kind of got bored of the game but didn’t think it was bad or anything, sad to see it has fallen to such an awful state, cause it was such a fun game all those years ago.
I’m so glad that all of this is coming to light, I’ve been under the impression for the past year that this game has slowly but surely been falling off for a lot of. It seems that they are more driven by revenue, then genuine player feedback. Their ignorance and lack of attention to this game will eventually be what puts the nail in the coffin..
For me, the main problem is that they masively improved progression with magic items and book. then they realised they aren't making enough money from offers and such as you could max one card with a single book of book from the pass for a few dollars, so they nerfed it, but in a really scummy way
Your card’s levels are so much higher than your opponents, yet you two still got paired together. That is the BIGGEST problem in this game and is the reason I stopped playing years ago
I stopped taking the game seriously after the introduction of level 14. I was getting stomped left and right by maxed out decks while I could barely get 2 cards to par with 13. I came back after the introduction of the duchess and now I just mindlessly play the game whenever im bored. Don’t care about progression, since I know I won’t get anywhere in a meaningful amount of time. Honestly it’s kinda fun that way, just get a thrill of a close match every now and then and log off. Though it’s really sad and disheartening how bad it’s gotten over the years. Wish it wasn’t like this.
I quit the game the moment they added evolution card and when the battle pass got more expensive like I have no problem paying the problem is when I have to constantly pay to get better that's when the experience ruined it for me
I've been playing Clash Royale since the day it came out and I've always been free to play. After I got to 9000 trophies I decided to make an alt account and see how long it would take me to grind up to 5000 trophies. I couldn't get past arena eight because of all the pay to win players that were there. The greed that has overrun clash royale and the fact that some of the OG devs are leaving make the downfall of clash royale even more depressing especially for OG players.
The game is so frustrating to play now. I quit because it makes me so angry, but the last straw was the “free” 500 gem ever by that disappeared before I could claim the prize… only to be replaced an hour or two later by an event that wants you to play to earn the right to pay gems for the tiers. Lol
As a f2p I can say that it took me a bit less than 3 years, 450 hours of playing the game to get to lv15 with 8 of my cards at level 15 and I got only like 5-6 evos where 4 of them were free through some easy challenges, I did all of the free pass, played allmost all challenges, fought in war, climbed the ladder and trophy road but the end is nowhere near
One thing i see few complain about is the events, and how it begs you to play, or are essentially punished because you need to unlock evolutions and stuff using the tokens. The game feels like a job that you dont get payed for. And, clash of clans is turning this dead leaf now too.
The end of March this year marked one year since I quit the game and while I've missed the gameplay itself sometimes, I have not regretted leaving the game. I hope this game crumbles and falls, there's no excuse for a game to ever be pay to win.
Man, that was probably one of the best worded and honest portrayal of the pay to win state of Clash Royale I’ve seen. Great job man keep up the content.
@@pickles0165 ... just stop. If you need help go to gambling addiction therapy. Because that is what it is. Gambling without even the chance to win something. You just spent money for the house.
I was paying for 2 pass royales a month before they changed it. I stopped paying once they introduced the different tiers and quit the game entirely 2 weeks ago.
As someone who have been following the meta for quite so long, it would be appropriate to say that balance changes and release of evolutions also convert people to spend more money on game. For example recently they stated that (evo) firecracker and archers die to arrows, which also conter bomber and bats. This is to directly shift meta to arrows and then they add evos such as musk and ice wizard which will be stronger because their normal vertions are weak, so that people can invest poison/fireball. Recently, only 6% persentage of people maxed out little prince and according to my research, they generally nerf at %8-10. Another theory is the usage of an improved IA to calculate the most profitable way to shift meta with addition to complex systems such as tower troops and evolutions. For example previous month, it was drill meta now it is tank and the other month, it will be cycle. Just quit bros, I know the thrill of winning and designing better strategies, but I have sworn to not touch competitive game other than friendly wars with my friends.
One time I had to scroll a lot just to reach the shop where you get free things. This is nuts, at this point put ads between offers. Also, now you can use wild card on tower troops, but you cannot buy them from the seasonal shop no more. I hope this game falls as fast as possible. Also, Drew went to Brawl stars and the first thing they add are "evolutions" to brawlers. At this point is his fault.
@ludovicosupposta536 the devs state they are a CROSSOVER with godzilla and will be TEMPORARY and a lot of these mutations are VERY OP and would ruin the game if they were made permanent
@@Dawad2007and also can only be used in maps that alllow them so u can still advance in trophies without 5 mutated hypercharge edgars jumping on you doing god knows what mutation.
In one offer there was literally nothing in the picture, i thought that meant that i'm paying for air but i realised i gave me stuff after tapping on the offer contains
meanwhile clash of clans gets better every update and they actually listened to the community a lot of times and changed stuff after it got called out (like recently the new hero ore distribution that got better) or that they hard cap the max time a building can take to upgrade nowdays so we wont end up at 30 days at some point
It’s really sad because back in 2017-2018 I really loved this game. Even in 2020 I still had love for this game but my enjoyment simply died in late 2023-early 2024, I don’t want to say I’m 100% hopeless because this is genuinely a massive part of my life but I simple can’t enjoy the game anymore
I don’t play clash of clans much anymore, but I loved how you always felt heard as a community. You can tell they’re still working hard to improve their game.
I have to say as a F2P player i have to (as much as i like the game) say that the unfun parts are there were you are forced to play 1 deck and only 1 deck. Me and my best friend have build many decks we liked but we never could play leader bc of the level our cards have. And the evolutions do not make it better, i have some evolutions but people who are level 15 can play 2 evolutions per deck and that is just chaos. I am close to get to level 15 after 3 years of plaing the game. I didn't play every day but every week i was online and that just profes how P2W this game is.
My biggest frustration with this game is that there are definitely people that cheat and it seems to be getting way worse. Like I will watch my elixir and say I'm at two elixir, my opponent will drop like nine elixir while I'm at two meaning I am one ahead of them. While I am waiting for my elixir to creep at five or something, they go and drop like two cards together equaling another seven or eight elixir? How did they manage that when I was one elixir ahead of you and I just got to five? I can't even count how many times I've come across games that can't be explained with the events! The events are the worse! Cards that seem to be overpowered, unlimited elixir, being able to drop a card and then have it again almost immediately even though they've only used one card since? But then you watch the playback and the elixir looks like it adds up? I've watched replays and seen the elixir add up but at the same time, it doesn't. Like I can see them dropping cards that they shouldn't be able to drop because there's no way they have enough elixir for it but yet, the elixir shows that they somehow do? I also think supercell rigs the game to favor players.

What "alot of other glitches"?
Yeah fr leak them so we can all get justice
Also they reverted all the permanent bans to 31 day bans after saying it was a 'mistake'
In all honesty the worst change of all was getting rid of allowing players to play any mode, like x7 and x3 publicly.

Clash Of Clans: 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
The fact that i have to scroll for a solid second in the shop to get to the daily deals tells a lot about how cash hungry the game is.
At least Brawl Stars has buttons to skip over to the specific section of the shop. It's buggy rn but oh well.
Clash Royale's UI doesn't allow for that though since it's landscape and not horizontal
fun fact: double tapping the shop icon instantly scroll to the free section of the shop, tapping it again scrolls to the emotes, etc. This tip saved me so much time as a f2p player

First thing i noticed since coming back lol, crazy
7$ for a book of books? I got an offer of 20$ for a single book of books
You guys got that? I got a magic token, book of books, and 8 wild champion cards from 1 offer, at 20 us dollars
You could buy real books with that money
Offers depend on your level and how much you spent. I dont remember the vid but its out there somewhere that proves this
I got a book of books for free
I got it for free in a lucky drop xD
Meanwhile clash of clans manage to stay relevant for 11+ years
Clash of Clans is superior, that's why.
Clash of clans is a hood classic. And supercell managed to not ruin it (at least not yet)
If clash of clans sticks to their plans that they made in their video where they address all problems with their game with honest responses (which clash royale should do) then I only see Clash of clans going up. thank god I have never spent a single dime on clash royale though
Clash royale is better at giving players the illusion that they're winning, you can avoid losing and that's why low IQ people keep playing it

Princess tower levels don’t technically do anything anyway. You can’t level up towers past the king tower, but the princess tower instantly levels up when the king tower does.

@@Shhhhh183not anymore, Princess towers are now separate in upgrading, cash grab
The main reason Clash of Clans has still remained strong is that Clash of Clans has not doubled down on monetization. The recent Evo nerf teaser is just proof that they are desperate to try to keep their playerbase. It's sad, because I have been playing Clash royale and while the game is mostly fun in the side modes, the main ladder is so bad that i have much more fun ignoring it
Even the time clash of clans increased the gold pass price, they compensated by vastly increasing the value you got out of it. Even now, I am pretty sure they are looking for alternative methods of making money so they can change some of the core gameplay designs to be more player friendly
@@CojaGamezClash of clans at least admitted the hero upgrade timers are for making money, unlike cr who try to justify adding level 15 as "it being highly requested"

Crazy how the community predicted this, gave fixes and compromises, and it still went to shit. Guess they’re just gonna try and cash out as soon as possible lmao
the fact the game is struggling to now draw in new players without essentially fronting extremely pay to win packs really does go to show that the game is lost and probably won't be redeeming itself anytime soon - i hope they find a sense of direction as strip away a lot of the scummy stuff and clash royale is a really enjoyable casual game but i will never touch ladder until they nerf the best card in the game, the credit card
i also noticed that you're the person behind the "I HATE Supercell" video, nice work on producing that, by the way!
@@NaidvarRamblesit’s hard to balance cards. Look at the meta, to try to balance cards by adding dagger dutches to make those cards weaker and it just shifted the meta to cards that can beat that tower. I’m not trying to say what they are doing is right, but they are not using the credit card to be cash hungry, they using it as a lazy way of avoiding having to really balance the game. Who cares if 2 decks just rule the meta spend 40$ to have those decks maxed out and we don’t have to balance anything; is basically their mindset with this.
Its absolutely baffling how despite being under the same company, the sheer difference between the clash of clans and the clash royale team. The CR team is greedy, rarely listens to players and is all around pretty bad. Wheras the clash of clans team is generally really well liked and most of the time if they mess up, they are honest about it and rectify it. More so, they are very open and receptive to the community. Idk how two polar opposite team philosophies exist under the same company, but its wild. If the CR team took some notes from the clash of clans team, they might be better
I think they're too deep now to do so, the game is fucked beyond recover; the level 15 cards, the card EVOS, the towers having its own level. They fractured the game so much, in order to monetize as much as it was possible, that I don't think it's possible to fix anymore. Once the whales leave, the game will die
I can’t stand clash royale anymore. Raising the level cap again means that I am now punished even harder for trying to level up and practice any new deck I want to try. The game genuinely puts so much pressure on players to never for any reason play anything other than the same deck they’ve already been playing for years. It’s so fucking boring. Maybe I don’t want to play golem anymore supercell! So stop fucking raising the level cap and evolutions that force you into the same deck you already play because playing anything else costs too much time, effort, and or money! On top of that, the game is so obviously balanced in a way that those who pay money are in a far better position than those who play for free. How am I meant to afford the new knife tower troop so that I can have a meta loadout??? It’s so terrible and I don’t think they will ever attempt to fix it in the slightest

Why? Cause i wasn't into the gameplay. Too hard for me, and it was genuinely upsetting to lose 8 times in a row no matter what you did.
Now i don't want to touch it because i'm insanely underleveled due to inactivity. My only saving grace is spending money which I'd never do, especially not on this game.
So the last time i acctually logged in was on valentines day to get free evolution ...i didn't get the free evolution....
Maybe i should've logged sooner to get the notification about it then logged on valentines to claim it? Eh, idc that much about this game anyway. It's why I couldn't bother to reinstall the game just to claim free Duchess i'm not gonna use.
btw, none of those time i logged in to claim the things have i played a single match. I just collected the new thing and logged off.
Also can we talk about how they're repeating the same mistake in a row now?
They released champions and added LP for free. This champion is so good and versatile, it steals the spotlight from other champions
And Supercell barely does anything to revert that! The nerfs aren't enough.

"Bming" is only a problem if you have thin skin and choose to not mute emotes
I used to play this game religiously back in high school, but once Clan Wars II and Pass Royale were added, my interest plummeted. Level 14 and 15, and Evolutions is what truly made me leave Clash Royale, and I don't regret sticking with Brawl Stars in the slightest. That developer team actually cares about its community, and have been adding great F2P changes to make the game enjoyable for everyone. I don't blame Drew for moving away from that dumpster fire whatsoever.
I find very boring that the decks you play against are all the same spam of overpowered cards on level 15 instead of the past unique decks that were made with creativity.
I am just sick of Hog Rider-Evo Firecracker-Mega Knight-evo Battleram decks. Its just soulless

The day when Pass Royale became Diamond Pass is when I knew Clash Royale would die
Got a clash royale and a clash of clans ad while listing to this guy absolutely roast em, TH-cam algorithm going crazy
I’ve been playing clash royale since before global launch, during the beta. It frankly feels disrespectful that the game doesn’t even give its most dedicated players an ounce of respect by sparing them from the constant awful shop offers. I dedicated 8 years of my life to clash royale, and this is what we get? Unbelievable.
The worst part is that the clash royale shop is full of manipulations tactics. The daily deals and the daily free gift are in the shop tab at the bottom, forcing the player to scroll through all the special offers every day. This is unlike clash of clans where you are never “forced” to view the shop at all.
Don’t even get me started on the elite wild scam store. You might think you’re smart by purchasing the third, most valuable deal. However, that’s exactly what they want you to do. The third deal is in money and they provide 2 crappy deals to trick you into thinking the last one is good.
It was always a greedy, predatory, microtransaction hellhole. You're getting what you deserve for being blind to it
Yeah a lot of psychologists have conducted research into inventing lots of these disgusting shop models to maximize profits.
1. Like offering an ingame currency that you can buy in bundels that never give you just enough for whatever would be the most common thing to buy. There will always be some leftover in game currency to incentivize players to buy more. Also the currency is supposed to obscure how much money you are really spending. That works better on some people who do not keep in mind how much money they spend on the "currency".
2. New players will always get pop ups with "insanely good" deals for very little money. That has the following reason. First if they can get you to spend money on the game, the player will feel more invested since now they have actually spend some of their hard earned money and SECOND and most important, you have now put in your payment info. Therefor you will not have to go through the hassle of typing it all in (for some payment methods) again therefor reducing the steps required to spend money. It is devilish effective too.
3. Fear of missing out deals constantly. I have never played Clash royale but I have played AFK Arena for over 1 year and I can tell you I was really vulnerable to FOMO deals. When I felt a deal would be good and they put a timer on it I just had to get it.. but money was always short. I wasted about 700 euros on that game.. and I am really ashamed to admit that now.
There is a genuinenly AMAZING video out there from Josh Strife Haynes that you might already have seen called Diablo Immoral, about Diablo Immortal's insanely predatory monetizing system. And that is basically build to draw the money out of players pockets like a mobile game.

I had been playing Clash Royale since 2016, when in 2022, I lost my account and it couldn't be recovered. I was at very high levels, with almost all cards at level 14.
Now, when I have restarted the game from scratch, I can clearly see how difficult it has got for a new player to reach high levels and arenas.
Clash Royale used to be the love of my life. But now Supercell's only goal has become 'money grabbing'
I knew I had to stop playing this game when out of extreme frustration I smashed my phone over my knee and bent it at a 90 degree angle as a result. It was simply far too rage-inducing for me to enjoy consistently.
As a mostly F2P player, you pretty much have to lock into 1 deck to level up to progress any meaningful amount, which might be managable when your deck is in the meta, but once an absolutely broken card gets released and similarly broken decks get made around them which completely invalidate your deck, the game becomes borderline unplayable. It feels more like torture than fun.
I feel like they could have really gone crazy with cosmetic items. I will refuse to purchase any of crap they are sell now.

low revenue because they made the level set to 11 in party mode which disincentives players from spending to level up cards
but its also a general trend with all games they lose revenue the older they get
I remember clash Royale fondly and got lucky that I quit the game when the 2nd pass was released, I couldn’t imagine watching a game I love be slowly poisoned
Yep I still remember when the shop isn’t flooded with offers, they’re suppose to be rare after all.
I remember playing CR back in 2017 and playing with my friends in high school and would just play spam decks to see just how much we could pump out, and seeing how much its devolved and become so much microtransactions is just, kinda sad
I stopped playing when lvl 15 was introduced and thank god I quit when I did. I knew that things were going bad in clash Royale but I had no clue it has gotten THIS bad.
I dropped the game about 2 years ago because I couldn't keep up with the grind to avoid getting my ass kicked in ladder. I reinstalled it a week ago to see how it's holding up and decided uninstalled immediatly after getting jumpscared by the +5 special offers people have to scroll down to reach the daily gift.
To be honest, I'm one of those people who hangs on almost solely because I hope for a 'revival' of sorts (I know that sounds crazy), and because, though I haven't spent anything worth a pencil on this game, the fact that I've played it, grinded in it - gotten to over 7 000 trophies over the course of 4 years feels like an investment. Yet even my seemingly unnatural patience is wearing off. My peers were dropping off I want to say a year ago, but it could be as long ago as 3. I'm among the last left of my peers on this burning ship, because I know I can adapt to other games if needed. I hold on because maybe, just maybe, the devs will grow brains and remember the heart of game-making; but this optimism is wearing thin. Unless my patience breaks - the 'last straw,' I might remain until it burns or is fixed.
And if it burns - you can count on me to fly off the ship mocking the arrogant captains still aboard. "The captain always goes down with his ship."
Aint no way supercell put 2 ads in this video
Progression in CR feels like trying to get a million dollars by scavenging for coins on the street.
The funnest thing I do on CR is play the classic challenges, where I play any deck I want and have equal levels to any opponents.
I used to play this game from its release to late 2017. It was toooo much for me to handle. Ive been playing CLASH OF CLANS for a decad3 and never quit once . Thats makes you wanna think which is the better game.
i started playing before global release and used to really enjoy this game, but now with the tower troops it's just unplayable and unenjoyable garbage. R.I.P. clash royale 2015-2023 🕯️
When ever I first deleted the game I just knew it was going to be not as fun, and oh my god they did that so well
I just got 2 supercell ads before the vid started they onto you bro
I can’t wait till Supercell makes it so that you can’t upgrade cards without doing a micro transaction.
what has this game become…
this aged like fine wine
I got a double ad on this for clash of clans and clash royale individually
as someones whos been playing clash royale since 2016-2024, and has since moved to brawl stars, the fall of clash royale is extremely satisfying, i never spent anything on the game, but i see p2w getting worse and worse, and now the game finally crumbles.
Forgot to mention that my 2016-2018 account got permanently banned for "phishing" because i tried to log in to it too many times, it still hasn't been unbanned to this day.
Clash Royale is really trash nowadays, and really was for a few years now. My years or f2p playing can be summerised into "being good at the game, rushing like 10 arenas in a few days, getting absolutely destroyed by players 4/5/6 levels above mines, taking months to go to the next arena, not being able to change my deck that became non-meta after an update because all my other cards were 7/8 levels bellow my deck and I had no gold"... Man I miss the time we had a free wooden chest every like 4h I think
Who else got a clash royal ad😂
I got a clash royale one 💀
I got squad💀
I got coc lol (the better game)
That’s not a coincidence
There needs to be a federal law in the US and Canada and all around the world that states that if any game has DLC or pay with real cash to acquire non-physical items and if the game servers are discontinued or the player is banned or permanently banned then all money that they have spent over the course of the lifetime of the game is returned back in full.
I recently reinstalled CR after being off for over a year. I one one latter match, due to me being one level higher than the guy and completely countered his deck. The other six games I played straight were of lvl. 15 max two evo card tryhards that my two lvl14 cards couldn't contend with.
I uninstalled it again to save both my phone and my sanity.
I remember when Supercell was afraid to add certain types of cards or mechanics to Clash Royale because they didn't know what would happen with the meta or with interactions. But now after 2 years of not playing CR i see all these new evo cards and the archer queen is here? I remember specifically these types of cards being so taboo.
I made a switch from clash royale to clash of clans and im having a blast almost townhall level 10 now without base rushing
Yea same switched to brawl stars and it's way better
Meanwhile CoC has actual value offers, I'm a TH10 and there was an offer of 1200 gems for nearly 1/4th of their original price plus two Builder potions, the difference between CoC and CR is insane
Welcome back, felt so long hearing for you again
I quit because my phone didn’t have space anymore. Now that I have a new phone and reinstalled, I realized it wasn’t worth it anymore
Also most people forget that they nerfed a lot the mastery rewards, replacing gems with a few coins.
The royale pass nerf I can kinda understand it (still shouldn't have gotten nerfed that much), but the mastery rewards weren't broken at all, they nerfed them just because yes.
Just think about what the shop used to look like. It used to be just the cards you can buy with gold and whatever free thing they gave you, now you have to scroll down through 6 pages of filth to get your 5 free tombstones...
I remember one of my friends making a canadian account and downloading the “beta” version for our whole friend group back in middle school. I played the game for around a year, stopped not too long after Jungle Arena was added I think. Just kind of got bored of the game but didn’t think it was bad or anything, sad to see it has fallen to such an awful state, cause it was such a fun game all those years ago.
I’m so glad that all of this is coming to light, I’ve been under the impression for the past year that this game has slowly but surely been falling off for a lot of. It seems that they are more driven by revenue, then genuine player feedback. Their ignorance and lack of attention to this game will eventually be what puts the nail in the coffin..
Last time I've played CR was 2020 I'm not even surprised.
For me, the main problem is that they masively improved progression with magic items and book. then they realised they aren't making enough money from offers and such as you could max one card with a single book of book from the pass for a few dollars, so they nerfed it, but in a really scummy way
Your card’s levels are so much higher than your opponents, yet you two still got paired together. That is the BIGGEST problem in this game and is the reason I stopped playing years ago
I'm a f2p player and I quit once they started dropping lvl. 15 cards and the evolutions. Not spending money = no fun
I stopped taking the game seriously after the introduction of level 14. I was getting stomped left and right by maxed out decks while I could barely get 2 cards to par with 13. I came back after the introduction of the duchess and now I just mindlessly play the game whenever im bored. Don’t care about progression, since I know I won’t get anywhere in a meaningful amount of time. Honestly it’s kinda fun that way, just get a thrill of a close match every now and then and log off. Though it’s really sad and disheartening how bad it’s gotten over the years. Wish it wasn’t like this.
I quit the game the moment they added evolution card and when the battle pass got more expensive like I have no problem paying the problem is when I have to constantly pay to get better that's when the experience ruined it for me
I thought I was the only one this game is finished
I've been playing Clash Royale since the day it came out and I've always been free to play. After I got to 9000 trophies I decided to make an alt account and see how long it would take me to grind up to 5000 trophies. I couldn't get past arena eight because of all the pay to win players that were there. The greed that has overrun clash royale and the fact that some of the OG devs are leaving make the downfall of clash royale even more depressing especially for OG players.
I've been playing for years and seeing the state its in now. Im sad
The game is so frustrating to play now. I quit because it makes me so angry, but the last straw was the “free” 500 gem ever by that disappeared before I could claim the prize… only to be replaced an hour or two later by an event that wants you to play to earn the right to pay gems for the tiers. Lol

You hate supercell?
Only the Clash Royale branch is a bunch of scums.The Clash of Clans and Brawl Stars branches are f2p friendly and care about their community
coc is reviving ..brawls stars too
As a f2p I can say that it took me a bit less than 3 years, 450 hours of playing the game to get to lv15 with 8 of my cards at level 15 and I got only like 5-6 evos where 4 of them were free through some easy challenges, I did all of the free pass, played allmost all challenges, fought in war, climbed the ladder and trophy road but the end is nowhere near
One thing i see few complain about is the events, and how it begs you to play, or are essentially punished because you need to unlock evolutions and stuff using the tokens. The game feels like a job that you dont get payed for.
And, clash of clans is turning this dead leaf now too.
Quit the game after evolutions. Everyone should have stopped after that.
The end of March this year marked one year since I quit the game and while I've missed the gameplay itself sometimes, I have not regretted leaving the game.
I hope this game crumbles and falls, there's no excuse for a game to ever be pay to win.
Clash royal is probably close to introducing ads to make more revenue lol
Man, that was probably one of the best worded and honest portrayal of the pay to win state of Clash Royale I’ve seen. Great job man keep up the content.

@@pickles0165 ... just stop. If you need help go to gambling addiction therapy. Because that is what it is. Gambling without even the chance to win something. You just spent money for the house.
Good decision🎉🎉🎉
I was paying for 2 pass royales a month before they changed it. I stopped paying once they introduced the different tiers and quit the game entirely 2 weeks ago.
As someone who have been following the meta for quite so long, it would be appropriate to say that balance changes and release of evolutions also convert people to spend more money on game. For example recently they stated that (evo) firecracker and archers die to arrows, which also conter bomber and bats. This is to directly shift meta to arrows and then they add evos such as musk and ice wizard which will be stronger because their normal vertions are weak, so that people can invest poison/fireball.
Recently, only 6% persentage of people maxed out little prince and according to my research, they generally nerf at %8-10.
Another theory is the usage of an improved IA to calculate the most profitable way to shift meta with addition to complex systems such as tower troops and evolutions. For example previous month, it was drill meta now it is tank and the other month, it will be cycle.
Just quit bros, I know the thrill of winning and designing better strategies, but I have sworn to not touch competitive game other than friendly wars with my friends.
I watched this video when this had 340 views, congrats for the rise and big success!
One time I had to scroll a lot just to reach the shop where you get free things. This is nuts, at this point put ads between offers.
Also, now you can use wild card on tower troops, but you cannot buy them from the seasonal shop no more.
I hope this game falls as fast as possible.
Also, Drew went to Brawl stars and the first thing they add are "evolutions" to brawlers. At this point is his fault.
You mean mutations? Cuz if so those arnt permanent also drew is a Community manager :p
@@Henry2332 Yeah I mean them but I think they will be permanent.
@ludovicosupposta536 the devs state they are a CROSSOVER with godzilla and will be TEMPORARY and a lot of these mutations are VERY OP and would ruin the game if they were made permanent
@@Dawad2007and also can only be used in maps that alllow them so u can still advance in trophies without 5 mutated hypercharge edgars jumping on you doing god knows what mutation.
they aren’t permanent and drew doesn’t program the game he’s a community manager
In one offer there was literally nothing in the picture, i thought that meant that i'm paying for air but i realised i gave me stuff after tapping on the offer contains
meanwhile clash of clans gets better every update and they actually listened to the community a lot of times and changed stuff after it got called out (like recently the new hero ore distribution that got better) or that they hard cap the max time a building can take to upgrade nowdays so we wont end up at 30 days at some point
It’s really sad because back in 2017-2018 I really loved this game. Even in 2020 I still had love for this game but my enjoyment simply died in late 2023-early 2024, I don’t want to say I’m 100% hopeless because this is genuinely a massive part of my life but I simple can’t enjoy the game anymore
let's hope the CR dev team doesn't get involved in other supercell dev teams... unless supercell itself is forcing the game to be shit
I don’t play clash of clans much anymore, but I loved how you always felt heard as a community. You can tell they’re still working hard to improve their game.
I have to say as a F2P player i have to (as much as i like the game) say that the unfun parts are there were you are forced to play 1 deck and only 1 deck. Me and my best friend have build many decks we liked but we never could play leader bc of the level our cards have. And the evolutions do not make it better, i have some evolutions but people who are level 15 can play 2 evolutions per deck and that is just chaos. I am close to get to level 15 after 3 years of plaing the game. I didn't play every day but every week i was online and that just profes how P2W this game is.
My biggest frustration with this game is that there are definitely people that cheat and it seems to be getting way worse. Like I will watch my elixir and say I'm at two elixir, my opponent will drop like nine elixir while I'm at two meaning I am one ahead of them. While I am waiting for my elixir to creep at five or something, they go and drop like two cards together equaling another seven or eight elixir? How did they manage that when I was one elixir ahead of you and I just got to five? I can't even count how many times I've come across games that can't be explained with the events! The events are the worse! Cards that seem to be overpowered, unlimited elixir, being able to drop a card and then have it again almost immediately even though they've only used one card since? But then you watch the playback and the elixir looks like it adds up? I've watched replays and seen the elixir add up but at the same time, it doesn't. Like I can see them dropping cards that they shouldn't be able to drop because there's no way they have enough elixir for it but yet, the elixir shows that they somehow do? I also think supercell rigs the game to favor players.
Worst*
