Another bad thing, which B-Rad didn't say, is that normal people in order to play with 2 evolutions must be level 54* of the King's Journey, which is difficult to obtain without spending money, and even spending it is hard.
If a game's pro players are discontented and finds playing your game like a chore, it's a clear sign your game is turning to shit. These devs need to wake up.

Dagger dutchess was the first time I felt like I literally couldn’t compete unless I got a card. I’ve leveled the Egor mortar miner deck to max and I’m banking everything from here on out. The problem I run into is everytime I get close to maxing a deck the meta changes and as a F2P player you just have to take the L and accept you’re not gonna do as well
Yep when dagger duchess was at its peak you couldnt win unless you had it and if you didnt have it then you would be at a big disadvantage and would most likely lose even if the opponent was worse
I thought Miner poison was too strong, and was kind of glad DD should have killed it. Then I played against it with hog EQ. It freaking killed the hog instantly.

@@kerolokerokeroloI think the majority left when they introduced level 15. You had grinded so hard to get level 14 just so they could pull the rug from under you.
What can you even buy in clash royale for thousands of euros? I feel like 400-600 euros at most is enough to max everything in the game, what were you even buying?
I'll give an example, CR should learn from this. Yesterday in Brawl Stars i bought my first brawl pass that costed money. It's the first time in ever (and i've been playing since 2019) i've bought something for real money in the game. Now, the normal price for it i consider too expensive and the Brawl Pass+ (the equivalent to Diamond pass) is even more expensive. I wouldn't have bought it IF NOT for a discount it was on for half the price.
your comment seems very comforting i quit cr it's been 2 years wisest decision i ever made because it became pay 2 win, if u look at any other supercell games all of them are pay 2 win, they launch game free then so everyone stays at a level and then they monetize every single thing. you have to pay 200£ every month to stay relevant otherwise you'll be left behind
@@BenCH417same. I was literally addicted to the game. I had withdrawal symptoms, up until the point dagger dutchess was introduced. I played three games, understood how broken the tower troop was, immediately deleted and never played again. No easier fix for my addiction.
One more thing I want to add is that the book of books (etc) are listed at $20 but have an outrageous 10x value...so a book of books is worth $200?? That's absolutely mental.
Clash Royale is supposed to be a strategic game where its one policy is that "No card is supposed to be the best." I always wanted new cards to be added, but not Champions, Evolutions and Tower Troops along with changing the season pass. They treated it like Clash of Clans when it's a game of competition, not war.
I quit Clash Royale with a maxed out level 13 account a few years ago and was thinking of getting back into it but the paywall has gotten so ridiculous that my maxed account from a few years ago feels like a noob account at 3000 trophies. Used to be able to rank in top 1000 globally. Unless I were to fork over hundreds if not thousands of dollars to buy all of the broken upgrades, troops, evolutions, and cards, I don't even a prayer shot of ranking in top 10,000. It's ridiculous. I only occasionally watch top ladder players play because it's such a pipe dream to ever get all of those upgrades to even compete. What's even crazier is that all of those changes happened over basically a year or two. You literally have to try to ruin a game this much in just a year.
They’re sacrificing short-term profits for long-term profit. If they just returned clash royale before tower troops and added skins (like B-rad said), people would naturally spend money
They have several games so if they think some of their game is milked then it's just logical to destroy it. Then the players will move on to other games and spend money in those. They don't want to make legacy games, they want to make money.
@@newera478 it's gross. It damages the industry and lowers confidence in the company, products and industry. This is why people don't trust mobile games
The decline would’ve been delayed if they were smart about it. Team Fortress, CSGO, and other games are in the same stage of decline but the games have been surviving for more than a decade, clash royale have not made it through a full decade yet
@@Villosa64 Daamnnn, surviving a decline for a whole decade and entering the decline phase within a decade really puts into perspective how bad the situation is for clash royale.
@@Gab12345BR there was card collection day and then war day. Didn’t rlly give good rewards tho and as the word “clash” was common between cr and coc their logic was to put war in the game too
if they keep thinking: " oh you don't like the game i don't care, lose 1 player like you isn't a big deal, there are millions more" then they gonna lose the rest
yeah that comment at around 20:00 is really what's making me lose interest in the game. Last season I grinned to royal champion and couldn't get any further. I wanted to play a different deck, but that's literally the only deck I have that has almost all level 15 cards. I just can't try anything else, because I will lose every time. Clash of clans keeps me coming back because when I get bored of an attack strategy, I can just try another army composition to freshen it up for me.
I know the feeling, I got stuck at royal champ in 3 different seasons but I finally hit ult champ for the first time this season, the day after I maxxed dagger duchess. Coincidence?
@@AJ_77602 nerf didn’t do anything, I was worried about maxing it when I heard the nerf but it’s still much better than the other towers. I hate tower troops so much but it’s the only way to push ladder
@@Karma0917I completely agree, i haven’t even played ladder much since the nerf (because of the goblin mode im being forced to play. so that’s somewhat good to know for me I guess, but I totally agree. Tower troops as a whole are just awful.
Message for every pro players and youtubers : can you just make a tweet, make a video to just say STOP, like Riley, Ian, Mohamed, Viiper…. I was a French competitive player back in the days but I’m done with this shit, IM DONE and I’m never coming back
The top players cannot boycott because they make money off the game’s competitive ladder. B-rad’s different because he’s a content creator and not a professional player (we don’t watch for his skills)
I’m in league 9 and in the middle of the season they nerfed 3 of my cards and my tower troop. It’s insane if I can’t even play my deck for more than a month. Feels like I have to do this all the time. No fun at all. Now to be competitive I need to spend a ton of money to win. And I don’t even mind spending some cash. But this is no longer fun.
@@Jeff_boii I dont think they make that much money from it anyways… if clash royale revenue is small then creator code profit is small too Clash royale needs to listen to the public and youtubers
I actually quit after the monk update and I was really glad to know things got like 4 times worse a few months later when they released level 15 and killed the pass royale. But now somehow seems it’s even worse and too late to save the game without destroying/deleting everything they did in the last 2 years. After I quit I wanted a fair competitive and strategy game and I switched to chess, best decision of my life.
It’s sad to see a game I would play daily with classmates in 2018 is dying from turning p2w, I literally only play this game from nostalgia from 2017-2018
My way to play was I would get stuck from not buying the meta and would use a max level potion and just speed run to the top. But I havnt seen those potions in stock for over a year so I'll be done for in the future.
I just don’t understand, Clash Royale at its core is probably my favorite game of all time and nowadays I barely play it. Like I literally play Pokemon Go you’d think that no one could handle a game worse than Niantic and then you see CR just being 10x worse. It makes no sense when Brawl Stars is just killing it every update now. I’m going to actually disagree I don’t think champions were the downfall of CR I think it was when they stopped monthly balance changes. Pair that with the horrendous monetization and it’s just terrible. We waited for what 4 months for little prince to get nerfed and now it’s finally nerfed but they nerfed it to the ground to the point I found out only 15% of decks right now in GC even use a champion like are we kidding how do u let this happen. The worst part is I think the concepts for all the updates were really smart I like the idea of Champions, evolutions (other than zap, damage dealing spells never should have gotten evolutions, maybe defensive towers too) and tower troops (even if they were like 4 years too late) but they managed to implement them all so badly. Like champions were fine but lvl 14 was implemented with the whole slash Royale controversy, then saying u could only unlock champions when u hit king tower 14 which I was fine with but now you don’t even need to so what was the point of lvl 14 or 15. Then you release evos with only 4 evolutions like funneling the same decks when realistically 6-8 should’ve been released at the start minimum to make the meta ok. Then the fact they’re impossible to get, why would they make it u get one shard every 2 king levels at that rate it should be a full new evo. Then finally make it so there’s only one new tower troop making it impossible to balance when realistically they should’ve started with 3 new ones plus the princess. I don’t know where all the dev time is going bc these updates take forever and release nothing. Then the absolute worst part is the lack of transparency like they told us we’d get a roadmap, never happened. I don’t ever see the CR community managers on twitter, can’t say the same about CoC and BS who are always talking to the community. Finally if you still aren’t convinced just watch a brawl talk and you’ll notice the difference then realize there’s one every two months. Yup it’s night and day
But this month supercell ruined the game 1.Change logo 2.Evolution Goblin barrel that is completely useless 3.Goblin queen's journey 4.3 brand new cards realesed that are in the shop and later then getting an emergency nerf 5.Goblin queen's journey is litterally stupid like for every hundered trophies you kinda get stupid rewards
I quit this game in early 2020 thinking that with time I might want to come back to it. Now looking at the current state of all of clash. I’m glad I got out while I could
i remember when evolutions came out... i commented under one of your video's that this is where i quit (which i did). once the integrity of a game is ruined like that, it only goes downhill. now its a p2w scamfest that fanboys try to defend. its the fault of the customers giving these companies a pass. fk them dont buy it, they will change, vote with your wallet
I hate how mobile games are so infected with this p2w mentality. I'm so fed up that I just quit all of them. every game that I played eventually had the same fate
The only thing i want is 1- make level caps at arenas, im arena 15 and im sick of getting lvl 13 cards 2- make restrictions on offers, like the firecracker evo offers, if you havent reached spooky town you should not be able to buy the offer, same should apply on the champion offers that appear on arena 11 3- of course remove lvl 15 and make evo shards easier to get for f2ps 4- bring back wild cards in the season shop Don't hate me if I missed something
Clash royale devs belike:Oh we should add lvl 16 and get rid of the books and evo shards in the season shops als dont forgot 1 full old evolution for only 100$ also make it 20x value
what did WOW cost back in the day? 20 bucks a month? i'd easily pay 10 bucks a month to play a decent mobile game. but cr isnt even close to decent. it SUCKS. HARD.
Hey Morten will you be down for a protest of the monetization of Clash Royale with some other popular youtube streamers as well. I was thinking everyone should not buy any new shop offers or even the pass royale for the first week of the next month or something like that. The best way to hurt supercell is to hurt their pockets.
@@jakepeng9962 I would like that but I don't think it is very realistic since people do want the broken stuff and will eventually spending money on the game. I wish they don't but I can't really blame it if they do

Like I put as a comment on B-rad's video: "Building a community is the most important thing in all of this. Without your community you are absolutely nothing no matter how awesome your game is. This rule is true no matter the size or funding of your studio. If you lose the faith of your players then you lose everything. You are never above your community and you are never too important to spend time responding to them. The moment you think you are they will show you how untrue that really is. Don't forget that. " - Thor Hall, AKA PirateSoftware
I agree with B-rad on almost everything but this game has always been very p2w. I think there's a lot of nostalgia talking when you don't remember how unfair and broken legendaries were upon released, not having Princess when it was released and broken was as frustrating if not more than facing double evolution and DD. I also think the new mechanics are cool, it's why I came back to the game. They just gotta tame down the p2w levelling system and be better with balancing, cosmetics should be the primary monetisation strategy anyway
if you were skilled, you could do classic challenges and 500 gems in tournaments and max in a couple of years at lvl 14. Now, the ceiling is about as high as Everest and impossible to be attained feasibly in a relevant amount of time.
Are you really comparing getting 1 legendary every like 6 months and that being broken, and another thing is getting evos, tower troops, lvl 15, in a 1 year period...?
Yeah, legendary in first original Clas Royale really didn't make the game worst. It's not P2W. The Players who didn't have Legendary can counter it by using any cards that have exist the game. But right now, counter Evo cards is hard for F2P Players.

Return to previous Pass Royale, increase lucky drop percentages, if you want the new season Evo you can pay, but if you want it for free you can get it next season and same for the rest of Evos in future, delete the new game mode and put it as a special season challenge cuz it's better than play for 3 days and then it's dead. Completely delete lvl 15 and wild cards cuz it's crap. Add 2v2 game mode as a test and if is good then turn it into a competitive game mode. Fix the season store, balance the tower troops, create new competitive stuff, add some new cards at least one every 3 months or something and please erase at least 50% of store offers, is crazy how you need to spend almost 1000 dollars to buy everything. That's it, no more P2W, at least I'll be a P2F so supercell can still winning millions and not kill the game at all. And no, I'm not a noobie who has been playing for 2 months, I'm a lvl 67 player with Evos, tower troops, CRL and ladder badge, been playing for 6 years now and I couldn't be more disappointed about this game rn.
I had uninstalled last year only when I got to know as a f2p player evolutions can't be unlocked and tower troops can't be used. I just came back this time for three new cards but would uninstall pretty soon.
10:40 exactly. I used to buy all the battle passes in clash Royale but when the game started getting worse and the nurff happened i haven't spent a single cent on the game. Im disappointed where CR has come.
All the content creators of supercell games need to unite against the corrupt company and support clash with eric ,B-rad and many others standing against Supercell
evolutions ended up being added while i was in the middle of a long break so when i came back i didnt understand anything, so i ended up restarting, and then i see evolutions in arena 4
i quit the game when level 15 was released because i thought that was the point i couldn't keep up anymore as a f2p, i just downloaded it back 2 days ago, just for the hang of it and to see what they would give me, what is a dagger duchess and why does everyone have it?
I thought it was dumb that if you had 15 princess tower, you were still getting princesses way more often from the tower troop chests than the cannoneer and dagger duchess.
It was dumb that you were getting princesses in the first place, since you don't need them to drop at all to upgrade. They drop only because if they didn't, it'll be too easy to unlock Dagger Duchess and Cannoneer.
@@jakeextreme4108 back when it was just cannoneer, I did the help and support in clash royale just asking why I was getting so many princesses from the tower troop chests and they told me it was a 3:1 ratio. A 75% chance to get cards you already had maxed and a 25% chance to get the new tower troop. That’s so blatantly scummy.
@@JRokk Even if you don't have maxed Tower Princess, you can get her cards from the tower troop chest. As far as I'm aware, you can't upgrade her to specific level until you upgrade your King to that level, so the Princess as a drop is absolutely useless at any point in the game Thanks supercell, you could've just decreased the amount of tower troop chests
I think that adding a new route only with the Princess and King Towers, without that green queen, without upgraded cards, and without tower level 15, or it would be limited to a place that is difficult to reach, and also only with classic cards without Exploding Goblin, Goblin Machine, and even the spell. If he wants players, even without heroes, why not?!
I’ve played this game sense I was in 7th grade all the way up until a year ago or two I’m a junior in college, this used to be one of my favorite games ever, Idk who the slimy disgusting, stinking, goofy, cr*ck smoking developers r now but they have absolutely destroyed this once amazing competitive game u could play for hours or with ur friends, now it’s all about that money money money, and they r so stupid with how they do it that it doesn’t even work, like how stupid r the developers, idk what fake green they r smoking but they r tweaked tf out, I have never seen a game be so amazing to a joke and a parody of itself so fast it’s insane, and I’m truly just disappointed and sad, it’s just like how Disney destroyed Star Wars, some new ppl came in, absolutely on that Heisenberg blue crystal, just like everyone at Disney and absolutely destroyed this amazing game.
Very based that now even the German community draws attention towards the bad state of the game. For a long time I thought they just riding the CR devs and pretending everything was fine (looking at you, Bigspin). Thanks Morten
I thought i finally caught as a f2p when i got everything maxed out when they gave out like 1.6mil gold during the chess event, but since evolution and tower troops and lvl 15 for cards came out, im back where i am 2 years ago
Its also worth mentioning that clash of clans increased the price of the gold pass but COMPENSATED the players with another book and an automatic forge slot, while CR just took away any hopes of maxing for people who aren't whaling.
Cr devs team is also shit at balancing cards. They would buff the card without any reason. For instance, the buff on prince and ram rider which dumb as hell to get player to buy an evolution that is underwhelming. That is just straight up stupid.
I agree with him in everything. I face some opponents in the war with a lower card level, and the opponent has a higher card level and I defeat him easily. After I enter his profile, I find that he has reached 9000 trophies, and I am still at 7000. This does not mean that he is better, but he pays money and I do not pay, so I think that The game system is very bad because the game system is expected to depend on the level of performance. Now I have to face a higher level of cards, counters, and the opponent’s performance.
I am an OG clash royale player of 8 years. I reached lvl 54 this month. I am a f2p player and grinded my way. I stopped playing for 4 years in between. So my total progress is of 4 years. But people should just stop buying for wins and actually develop strategies. It's disheartening that the game had to turn this way now.
Morten, I have seen your channel for quite some years, and you were the youtuber to go when i wanted to up my game. I find your content very valuable, but always found something was off because you tried so hard to mantain the channel family friendly. This is the first time one of your videos has some care free feeling, and I could not love this video more than I am doing it. You were trying so hard to maintain some dignity in the name of clash royale, but if you, a true follower and exponent of the game, is not able to defend it anymore, then no one could. Hope more videos with this relaxing and more "friendly" vibe are to come. Love your channel, and looking forward to see you upload squad busters videos :)
As a former free to play clash royale esports player I completely agree with this video and think supercell has ruined clash royale beyond recognition and the game isn’t even savable anymore, the first bad thing imo was switching the trophy system which killed my enjoyment and I have tried to comeback but seeing the nonstop money grabs and bad/boring updates and the weird pay to win meta I just can’t
Getting epic and legendary wild cards in the season shop was huge, most people get gold common and rare wild cards in the drops, it’s so hard to upgrade or max a new legendary without money like 20 legendaries takes months or a legendary lucky drop where you’re hoping for a book of legendaries or book of books
I love how since June 2023 I stopped playing and the only thing I do about Clash Royale is watching its fanbase and content creators have beef with greedy devs. Its been more than a year and I still enjoy watching it while not caring a single bit about Clash Royale anymore
Supercell is all about the cash grab. Their model is painfully obvious: launch a new card, make it ridiculously overpowered, and watch as people spend money to upgrade it. Then, inevitably, they nerf it. This happens with EVERY card they release. Now they’re even doing it with tower troops! It’s clear they prioritize profit over player experience. People need to stop giving them money. That’s the only way they’ll ever change and start focusing on making the game enjoyable again instead of just milking players for cash.

I quit Clash Royale with a maxed out level 13 account a few years ago and was thinking of getting back into it but the paywall has gotten so ridiculous that my maxed account from a few years ago feels like a noob account at 3000 trophies. Used to be able to rank in top 1000 globally. Unless I were to fork over hundreds if not thousands of dollars to buy all of the broken upgrades, troops, evolutions, and cards, I don't even a prayer shot of ranking in top 10,000. It's ridiculous. I only occasionally watch top ladder players play because it's such a pipe dream to ever get all of those upgrades to even compete. What's even crazier is that all of those changes happened over basically a year or two. You literally have to try to ruin a game this much in just a year.
The worst part is they are destroying their game to get money, when they could make a solid game and make money for 20+ years
They’re sacrificing short-term profits for long-term profit. If they just returned clash royale before tower troops and added skins (like B-rad said), people would naturally spend money
@@dannytran1587bro u swapped the profits, they sacrificed long term for short term
The model supercell is going towards is to just make new games when old ones are milked. If successful, they get high profits always.
They have several games so if they think some of their game is milked then it's just logical to destroy it. Then the players will move on to other games and spend money in those.
They don't want to make legacy games, they want to make money.

There is a concept of 4 phases in "Product life cycle" in business. "Decline" phase has started for Clash Roayle
The decline would’ve been delayed if they were smart about it. Team Fortress, CSGO, and other games are in the same stage of decline but the games have been surviving for more than a decade, clash royale have not made it through a full decade yet
@@Villosa64 Daamnnn, surviving a decline for a whole decade and entering the decline phase within a decade really puts into perspective how bad the situation is for clash royale.

yeah that comment at around 20:00 is really what's making me lose interest in the game. Last season I grinned to royal champion and couldn't get any further. I wanted to play a different deck, but that's literally the only deck I have that has almost all level 15 cards. I just can't try anything else, because I will lose every time. Clash of clans keeps me coming back because when I get bored of an attack strategy, I can just try another army composition to freshen it up for me.

Feels like I have to do this all the time. No fun at all. Now to be competitive I need to spend a ton of money to win. And I don’t even mind spending some cash. But this is no longer fun.

I actually quit after the monk update and I was really glad to know things got like 4 times worse a few months later when they released level 15 and killed the pass royale. But now somehow seems it’s even worse and too late to save the game without destroying/deleting everything they did in the last 2 years. After I quit I wanted a fair competitive and strategy game and I switched to chess, best decision of my life.

Yeah I don't even know where you can get them,they are not even available for irl money
I just can’t afford to keep up with this game anymore
I just don’t understand, Clash Royale at its core is probably my favorite game of all time and nowadays I barely play it. Like I literally play Pokemon Go you’d think that no one could handle a game worse than Niantic and then you see CR just being 10x worse. It makes no sense when Brawl Stars is just killing it every update now. I’m going to actually disagree I don’t think champions were the downfall of CR I think it was when they stopped monthly balance changes. Pair that with the horrendous monetization and it’s just terrible. We waited for what 4 months for little prince to get nerfed and now it’s finally nerfed but they nerfed it to the ground to the point I found out only 15% of decks right now in GC even use a champion like are we kidding how do u let this happen. The worst part is I think the concepts for all the updates were really smart I like the idea of Champions, evolutions (other than zap, damage dealing spells never should have gotten evolutions, maybe defensive towers too) and tower troops (even if they were like 4 years too late) but they managed to implement them all so badly. Like champions were fine but lvl 14 was implemented with the whole slash Royale controversy, then saying u could only unlock champions when u hit king tower 14 which I was fine with but now you don’t even need to so what was the point of lvl 14 or 15. Then you release evos with only 4 evolutions like funneling the same decks when realistically 6-8 should’ve been released at the start minimum to make the meta ok. Then the fact they’re impossible to get, why would they make it u get one shard every 2 king levels at that rate it should be a full new evo. Then finally make it so there’s only one new tower troop making it impossible to balance when realistically they should’ve started with 3 new ones plus the princess. I don’t know where all the dev time is going bc these updates take forever and release nothing. Then the absolute worst part is the lack of transparency like they told us we’d get a roadmap, never happened. I don’t ever see the CR community managers on twitter, can’t say the same about CoC and BS who are always talking to the community. Finally if you still aren’t convinced just watch a brawl talk and you’ll notice the difference then realize there’s one every two months. Yup it’s night and day
But this month supercell ruined the game
1.Change logo
2.Evolution Goblin barrel that is completely useless
3.Goblin queen's journey
4.3 brand new cards realesed that are in the shop and later then getting an emergency nerf
5.Goblin queen's journey is litterally stupid like for every hundered trophies you kinda get stupid rewards
I quit this game in early 2020 thinking that with time I might want to come back to it. Now looking at the current state of all of clash. I’m glad I got out while I could
i remember when evolutions came out... i commented under one of your video's that this is where i quit (which i did). once the integrity of a game is ruined like that, it only goes downhill. now its a p2w scamfest that fanboys try to defend. its the fault of the customers giving these companies a pass. fk them dont buy it, they will change, vote with your wallet

Hey Morten will you be down for a protest of the monetization of Clash Royale with some other popular youtube streamers as well.

The best way to hurt supercell is to hurt their pockets.

You are never above your community and you are never too important to spend time responding to them. The moment you think you are they will show you how untrue that really is. Don't forget that.

our friend clash royale started taking drugs
I agree with B-rad on almost everything but this game has always been very p2w. I think there's a lot of nostalgia talking when you don't remember how unfair and broken legendaries were upon released, not having Princess when it was released and broken was as frustrating if not more than facing double evolution and DD.
I also think the new mechanics are cool, it's why I came back to the game. They just gotta tame down the p2w levelling system and be better with balancing, cosmetics should be the primary monetisation strategy anyway
if you were skilled, you could do classic challenges and 500 gems in tournaments and max in a couple of years at lvl 14. Now, the ceiling is about as high as Everest and impossible to be attained feasibly in a relevant amount of time.
Are you really comparing getting 1 legendary every like 6 months and that being broken, and another thing is getting evos, tower troops, lvl 15, in a 1 year period...?
@@carlosdasilva719 Also it was way less monetized
Yeah, legendary in first original Clas Royale really didn't make the game worst. It's not P2W. The Players who didn't have Legendary can counter it by using any cards that have exist the game. But right now, counter Evo cards is hard for F2P Players.

lvl 15 is the worst level
Return to previous Pass Royale, increase lucky drop percentages, if you want the new season Evo you can pay, but if you want it for free you can get it next season and same for the rest of Evos in future, delete the new game mode and put it as a special season challenge cuz it's better than play for 3 days and then it's dead. Completely delete lvl 15 and wild cards cuz it's crap. Add 2v2 game mode as a test and if is good then turn it into a competitive game mode. Fix the season store, balance the tower troops, create new competitive stuff, add some new cards at least one every 3 months or something and please erase at least 50% of store offers, is crazy how you need to spend almost 1000 dollars to buy everything. That's it, no more P2W, at least I'll be a P2F so supercell can still winning millions and not kill the game at all. And no, I'm not a noobie who has been playing for 2 months, I'm a lvl 67 player with Evos, tower troops, CRL and ladder badge, been playing for 6 years now and I couldn't be more disappointed about this game rn.
I had uninstalled last year only when I got to know as a f2p player evolutions can't be unlocked and tower troops can't be used. I just came back this time for three new cards but would uninstall pretty soon.
guys now that b-rad said something it opened the floodgates
10:40 exactly. I used to buy all the battle passes in clash Royale but when the game started getting worse and the nurff happened i haven't spent a single cent on the game. Im disappointed where CR has come.

All the content creators of supercell games need to unite against the corrupt company and support clash with eric ,B-rad and many others standing against Supercell
evolutions ended up being added while i was in the middle of a long break so when i came back i didnt understand anything, so i ended up restarting, and then i see evolutions in arena 4
it all started when they added mega knight
The pass royale change is where i personally dropped the game
i quit the game when level 15 was released because i thought that was the point i couldn't keep up anymore as a f2p, i just downloaded it back 2 days ago, just for the hang of it and to see what they would give me, what is a dagger duchess and why does everyone have it?
I thought it was dumb that if you had 15 princess tower, you were still getting princesses way more often from the tower troop chests than the cannoneer and dagger duchess.
It was dumb that you were getting princesses in the first place, since you don't need them to drop at all to upgrade. They drop only because if they didn't, it'll be too easy to unlock Dagger Duchess and Cannoneer.
And now they’re clogged with the goblin princess tower clone too 🤦
@@jakeextreme4108 back when it was just cannoneer, I did the help and support in clash royale just asking why I was getting so many princesses from the tower troop chests and they told me it was a 3:1 ratio. A 75% chance to get cards you already had maxed and a 25% chance to get the new tower troop. That’s so blatantly scummy.
@@JRokk Even if you don't have maxed Tower Princess, you can get her cards from the tower troop chest. As far as I'm aware, you can't upgrade her to specific level until you upgrade your King to that level, so the Princess as a drop is absolutely useless at any point in the game
Thanks supercell, you could've just decreased the amount of tower troop chests
I think that adding a new route only with the Princess and King Towers, without that green queen, without upgraded cards, and without tower level 15, or it would be limited to a place that is difficult to reach, and also only with classic cards without Exploding Goblin, Goblin Machine, and even the spell. If he wants players, even without heroes, why not?!
Be careful, posting videos that are critical of Supercell might get your creator code revoked. It's already happened.
Yup
I actually hate lucky drops. It’s removed rewards, and RNG based. Also they removed the free battle banner parts which just sucks.
I’ve played this game sense I was in 7th grade all the way up until a year ago or two I’m a junior in college, this used to be one of my favorite games ever, Idk who the slimy disgusting, stinking, goofy, cr*ck smoking developers r now but they have absolutely destroyed this once amazing competitive game u could play for hours or with ur friends, now it’s all about that money money money, and they r so stupid with how they do it that it doesn’t even work, like how stupid r the developers, idk what fake green they r smoking but they r tweaked tf out, I have never seen a game be so amazing to a joke and a parody of itself so fast it’s insane, and I’m truly just disappointed and sad, it’s just like how Disney destroyed Star Wars, some new ppl came in, absolutely on that Heisenberg blue crystal, just like everyone at Disney and absolutely destroyed this amazing game.
I remember the good old times when all you could do with money in cr was buy gems...
Clash Royale is taking path like war robot and pixel 3d
Very based that now even the German community draws attention towards the bad state of the game. For a long time I thought they just riding the CR devs and pretending everything was fine (looking at you, Bigspin). Thanks Morten
I thought i finally caught as a f2p when i got everything maxed out when they gave out like 1.6mil gold during the chess event, but since evolution and tower troops and lvl 15 for cards came out, im back where i am 2 years ago
Supercell will just watch this video and think: "I guess it's time we add level 16 to this game"
Its also worth mentioning that clash of clans increased the price of the gold pass but COMPENSATED the players with another book and an automatic forge slot, while CR just took away any hopes of maxing for people who aren't whaling.
Cr devs team is also shit at balancing cards. They would buff the card without any reason. For instance, the buff on prince and ram rider which dumb as hell to get player to buy an evolution that is underwhelming. That is just straight up stupid.
With 100 bucks you can:
A) buy something necessary (like food or electricity)
B) buy Elden Ring+DLC
C) buy 4 evolutions on a now bad mobile game
I am surprised that it took this long to reach a boiling point.
He forgot to even mention lv15
I agree with him in everything. I face some opponents in the war with a lower card level, and the opponent has a higher card level and I defeat him easily. After I enter his profile, I find that he has reached 9000 trophies, and I am still at 7000. This does not mean that he is better, but he pays money and I do not pay, so I think that The game system is very bad because the game system is expected to depend on the level of performance. Now I have to face a higher level of cards, counters, and the opponent’s performance.
I am an OG clash royale player of 8 years. I reached lvl 54 this month.
I am a f2p player and grinded my way. I stopped playing for 4 years in between. So my total progress is of 4 years.
But people should just stop buying for wins and actually develop strategies.
It's disheartening that the game had to turn this way now.
Quit the game, never come back Supercell is greedy nowadays. In all games!
Morten, I have seen your channel for quite some years, and you were the youtuber to go when i wanted to up my game. I find your content very valuable, but always found something was off because you tried so hard to mantain the channel family friendly. This is the first time one of your videos has some care free feeling, and I could not love this video more than I am doing it. You were trying so hard to maintain some dignity in the name of clash royale, but if you, a true follower and exponent of the game, is not able to defend it anymore, then no one could. Hope more videos with this relaxing and more "friendly" vibe are to come. Love your channel, and looking forward to see you upload squad busters videos :)
I quit this game like 2 years ago before everything went wrong (Evolutions, Champions, Level 15). So glad I made that choice
As a former free to play clash royale esports player I completely agree with this video and think supercell has ruined clash royale beyond recognition and the game isn’t even savable anymore, the first bad thing imo was switching the trophy system which killed my enjoyment and I have tried to comeback but seeing the nonstop money grabs and bad/boring updates and the weird pay to win meta I just can’t
Wait for level 16 bruh the update we dont deserve but need keep that charcoal grill burning cuz level 17 is next after that
Stopped playing this money grab of a game when they released level 13 troops. Best decision of my life 😂.
Getting epic and legendary wild cards in the season shop was huge, most people get gold common and rare wild cards in the drops, it’s so hard to upgrade or max a new legendary without money like 20 legendaries takes months or a legendary lucky drop where you’re hoping for a book of legendaries or book of books
I love how since June 2023 I stopped playing and the only thing I do about Clash Royale is watching its fanbase and content creators have beef with greedy devs. Its been more than a year and I still enjoy watching it while not caring a single bit about Clash Royale anymore
I also hate how many shards it takes to get 14-15
Fr it's takes like 1-2 months just to get it
Now B-rad evolving himself for us
personally to im missing old maps. it was changed every diffrent month and it was pretty cool
Economy with old pass was crazy. I was close to maxing out lvl 13. then lvl 14 came out. Like half a year later half of my cards were maxed again.
Playing clash royale feels like a chore now. Everyday I open the game in pain.
Supercell is all about the cash grab. Their model is painfully obvious: launch a new card, make it ridiculously overpowered, and watch as people spend money to upgrade it. Then, inevitably, they nerf it. This happens with EVERY card they release. Now they’re even doing it with tower troops! It’s clear they prioritize profit over player experience. People need to stop giving them money. That’s the only way they’ll ever change and start focusing on making the game enjoyable again instead of just milking players for cash.
