    Respectful articulation of the level problem & accurate! Evolutions (when they’re balanced) and new fun content are a massive W but level 15 feels like a massive unnecessary grind to me. Wish we got the new content without the level - that’d be the update everyone wants 🤝

      Yo sirtag, love your videos man.
      What the devs really need to do is shift for a new business model. Everyone throughout the lifespan of this game have been telling them that levels just don't work with this game.
      However, tower skins, princess arrows skins (imagine your towers shooting cool lava or ice shards instead of the boring arrows), and custom arenas are all INSANELY lucrative ways to sell for the premium players. They just want to stick with P2W for some reason though.

      ​@@askefnwhich is, sorry to say, predatory af. They just wait for you to be angry at your opponents being higher levels than you and then drop 1k on the game to take "revenge" on them.
      You either grind everyday as a f2p to reach a goal that keeps on going further, or you pay in which you "rent" a maxed out collection for some time until it eventually vanishes with a new added level. It's just beyond unfair.
      Fortnite is still going hard after all these years yet their main business model is nothing but cosmetics. Nothing unfair about it.

    I was a f2p player, it took me literally years of casual playing to max a single deck. I never really grinded hard, I used my own non-meta deck, which put me at a big disadvantage, I was already sick of loosing because I wanted to play for fun with my own deck instead of using meta. Then I heard the news of level 15, and I deleted the app. It took me so long just to be on a “level” playing field, and I’m never going to be on a level field again. It’s sad to see greed destroy another game I once loved, I just hope the same fate doesn’t happen to clash of clans.

      @@IPlayGamesMate They could literally fix so many CW2 issues just by locking the King Level to 11, spacing out the war days a little to make it non-tedious, having only 2 river races instead of 3 so that if you're up against clans that are impossible to win against, it'll end quicker, as well as not having to rely on having as many people as possible in your clan, which would be trickier to fix but is possible.
      Edit: Oh I forgot. Also make it so that a player HAS to contribute in some way to earn the chest instead of just winning one match. I'd say make each player get at least 1500 medals and 2-4 wins. I'm saying this cause I'm tired of seeing the Leader in my clan rightfully having to kick people because they just play one match to get all the sweet rewards.

    I really appreciate you using your channel to spread this message.
    As a side note, I'm a 25-year-old with a full-time union job. I'm happy to support this game by contributing a small portion of my income. However, I wish the game developers would provide alternative ways to support the game through cosmetics and other means that do not impact its balance. Currently, I have almost every card at level 14, and I regularly purchase the gold pass and the new diamond pass. I also buy emotes from the store that Iike. I look forward to new cosmetics and cards.
    However, I find this update to be appalling. Requiring players to spend money in order to have a fair gameplay experience is detrimental to the overall health of any competitive game. Games like Valorant, League of Legends, and Dota 2 have implemented successful monetization strategies without compromising the competitive integrity of the game. Personally, I have invested money in these games by purchasing season one Valorant skins and acquiring almost every immortal or arcana in Dota 2. None of these purchases have negatively affected other players experiences.
    There are numerous ways to monetize a game with hundreds of thousands of users that would not harm the game's integrity. Unfortunately, the current approach taken by the developers is not a good one. I play this game every day, and it helps me survive 10 hours of work. I actively strive to obtain the legendary chest from clan wars every week and I enjoy the challenge of reaching the ultimate champion status or winning my first 12-round grand challenge.
    As an adult, I am willing to spend money on this game. However, I refuse to do so if it means compromising the health and competitive integrity of the game. I do not want to face opponents with under-leveled cards; I want to earn my medals through skill and be respected as a player. I don't want to be taken advantage of or have an unjust amount of my income drained just to have a fair playing field. I have invested a significant amount of time and money to maximize my cards so that I can compete on equal footing with other players and enjoy a fair game.

    It’s actually ridiculous. I played Clash Royale since September 2016. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and ugly with this game. When Royal Giant came out, I didn’t complain. When Elite Barbs came out, I didn’t complain. When Firecracker came out, I didn’t complain. I’ve grinded up to about 4800 trophies, back when the cap was 5000 trophies. Then Level 15 came out, and I was grinding ladder, and get beaten by a Level 15 Elite Firecracker against my complete Level 14 deck-the same one I’ve used in tournaments and always did well with. I said okay, fine. How do I get a Level 15 card myself? MONEY. Otherwise, It would take RAW MONTHS of grinding nonstop to get just ONE card to Level 15. I had enough. I was the number 2 in my clan (second oldest member) which existed since 2018 and it always stayed active. I apologized to the clan and deleted the game on the spot. Haven’t even touched the game or anything Clash Royale related until this video. I hope Supercell learns their lesson, or else this trend of vet players deleting the game will then turn into new players becoming discouraged as they move up the ladder and deleting it too.

    The interesting thing about boycotting level 15 (which i support) is that SC has already factored it into their plans. They claim that level 15 is not meant for everyone. It’s just for those individuals who play for progression. They also claim it’s meant to take a very, very long time. So when they see no one upgrading to 15, they’ll see it as working according to plan. There will be some players, who know nothing of the boycott, upgrading a card here or there to level 15, and they’ll say, “See, not everyone has to upgrade to 15. It didn’t break the game.”
    I think a more effective boycotting strategy would be for players to not spend any money on the game, and to collectively not log into the game. Because ultimately, that’s what SC wants to avoid. They don’t care if you’re mad or glad, so long as you log in and spend money on the game.

    B-rad, I’ve always admired you for being one of the most skilled, charismatic, and captivating individuals in the community. I’ve progressively distanced myself from the game over the years as I’ve been F2P for about 2 years and now play the game sporadically. It’s impressive how long you’ve been able to stick with this game and continue to be relevant after so many of your colleagues like Surgical Goblin and Chief Pat have moved on. Recently, the game has gotten into a concerning state, with card releasing being 2-3 times per year and the destruction of progression through the new pass royale, level 14 and now this, the game really is on its last legs. What the devs need to realize is that we’re a very passionate and patient player base, who’s willing to wait for major changes for the future of the game. I’m sure so many people can attest to every point you’ve made and I think if we can make a stand here, the game might finally take a few steps in the right direction. Thank you so much for discussing while other creators just covered the new content!

    One major thing B-rad (nor any other content creator on this issue I've listened to) didn't mention was that upgrading a card to level 15 gives 50,000 experience points which is insane compared to all the other methods of getting them. Upgrading a card to 14 gives 2,000 so upgrading a card to 15 would be the same as upgrading 25 cards to level 14. Obviously buying elite wild cards will get you to king tower level 15 in no time, another unfair advantage.

    Your idea of them having the players do surveys actually sounds brilliant. They could do a quick 1 question survey: "Do you want another card level added to the game?" And it would be that easy for them to find out how wrong their "data" is. If they cared about the community's opinions, they wouldn't have thought to add in a new card level in the first place, especially after all the backlash they got when they announced it

We were all thinking it (and saying it), but Supercell wouldn't listen. Despite releasing multitudinous bad updates (or contraversial, at least), I don't think they have ever released an update as pitiful as this one. This is a shame, really, because Card Evolutions actually look pretty cool (as long as they're balanced, of course), but Level 15 just sticks out like a sore thumb. Supercell, if you're reading this, please just scrap Level 15 and stop digging your own grave. No one wants it, even max players like B-rad. Finally, please actually listen to your community and listen to our opinions and suggestions. I have played this game since March 2016, and have taken several long breaks, but this update may cause me to quit for good.

    I just decided to play clash royale again for the first time in probably 2 years on a bored whim. When I left I just finished upgrading all the cards I wanted to 14, I enjoyed it a long time, the champion update dropped and I kind of fizzled out because, as a free to play player, I didn’t see myself reasonably being able to level those cards, and I just wasn’t feeling inspired to grind out the champions. I just come back to the game, and now there’s a level 15 that’s even harder to achieve than the whole champion thing, on top of that there’s the card evolutions. I don’t know enough about the evolution thing to call it pay to win, but I was playing in the tournament standard ladder, I was in a log bait mirror match, and the other dudes knight was just objectively better than mine because he had the evolution and I didn’t. I don’t understand what the point of a tournament standard mode is if the playing levels aren’t equal, I was hoping that I could still use an evolution in that ladder because it would make the game *fair* but instead I’m just put in a losing position because I don’t want to spend 12 dollars or whatever to unlock the evolution. I guess I decided to give clash another try at an awful time, and everything they added since champions feels very anti user and nothing like the game at launch.

    So thankful for u making this video Brad, honestly the amount of updates which have made the game worse is unbelievable and I’m surprised the game isn’t dead yet.
    The update with path of legends has made me quit due to it being insanely boring to push as it’s too easy to reach ultimate champion and doesn’t feel rewarding at all. Not to mention the Monk and Phoenix being insanely broken on release, mean you could only win if u had those cards max and the Phoenix having a total of 8 nerfs already!
    The pass royale update was unbelievable terrible killing progression completely, removing the book of books, magic coin and a bunch of other valuable items from the pass. In return we get a price increase on the gold pass, less rewards, one champion at tier 121, only need to place 2 games to max your season shop rewards and etc. Although the idea of the season shop is good it just wasn’t executed well.
    Finally, the level 15 update, which I have already explained seems dreadful requiring 50,000 elite wild cards for each card to only keep the same interactions is ridiculous and needs to be sold immediately. Card evolutions are also another story, but I won’t get to that right now.
    I have been playing Clash Royale since day one and to see it die like this is just sad. I hope your video will make a change.

      A lot quit as well. The initial boost of players fades away quick and it isn’t sustainable

    Im happy to see that he is one of the few youtubers that actually stuck to what he said about not upgrading his cards, other youtuber who also play clash and said they wouldn't upgrade were just riding the train to be with everyone else, but now they are even buying the offers clash royale puts out for fragments and cards

    Their tactic is to have outrageously many cards to upgrade in the beginning. So they can lower it later and be like „sorry we didn’t know how bad it was“ and lower it a bit. (So it’s still gonna be too high but not as bad in comparison) They will try to play dumb. Stay strong and demand the complete removal.
    Do not compromise

      Makes me sick how greedy they have gotten. they have to find another way to monetize the game that doesnt involve pay to win unfair advantages and absurd amount of grinding to be in a fighting chance.

      Honestly, the fact that they made it WORSE after this just baffles me... I don't even know WHAT they are trying to do now.
      It is almost like they think the game is completely hopeless and theyare just trying to milk as much money out as possible before they pull the plug.

    Thank you for this Brad, I really hope some of the devs see this video. Ever since they came out with the extra pass royale stuff and season tokens the game hasn’t felt the same…It’s sad seeing where CR is headed

    as a player who stepped away from the game in late 2022 due to college, ive come back to a game where every new mechanic and update seems to be motivated by money. they can charge for evo shards, pass royale having 2 levels and being worse even when you pay $12, and then $70 offers to max one card in the shop! these sorts of monetization are outrageous in actual games, but a mobile game like clash royale can get away with it somehow. it doesnt make it less absurd. seeing that level 15 takes months to achieve, with it still providing a competitive advantage just seems to benefit players willing to spend hundreds on the game, while leaving the larger playerbase out to dry. it just hurts man. this was the best mobile game id seen in my life in 2020. but the last 4 years have seen it sliding into a more pay to win and whale based monetization. I payed for pass royale when it was $5, and had those amazing value items like the magic coin and book of books. now i dont even see the point in paying for the more expensive pass for even less. its just toxic.
