Clash Royale 9+

I’ve played this game for a while, and I’ve enjoyed it, but there are a few things I feel should be addressed. First off, remove or nerf electro giant. It has exactly two good counters, and they only counter it with perfect placement. Some cards are ok at countering it (like pekka) but they still let it get a ton of damage on the tower. Second, I know this is how supercell makes money, but there are way too many people who blow their life savings on the game. It gives them a ridiculously unfair advantage. This is tied hand in hand with people having overleveled cards - a king level 10 doesn’t deserve to have three max level cards, especially if all his other cards are level 9 or 10. Aside from these issues, the game is very engaging, and it gives you an opportunity to earn rewards if you play just a few games per day. It’s a perfect game to play if you have a short break - for example, switching between classes. It always gives you something to strive for, and supercell adds new cards occasionally, which completely changes the strategy of the game. Whenever a new card is added, I generally try to use it in a deck to see what it works well with, and if I like it, I keep the new deck. Your strategy always changes based on what cards you and your opponent are using, and I like that. Overall, it’s a great game that doesn’t take too much time out of your schedule - well done, supercell.

I have played this game on/off since three days after its release. Some versions have been 5/5 stars whereas others have been 2/5 stars. This game is designed to frustrate you into spending money. The matchmaking is based upon a multitude of factors such as how close you are to a new arena, what your deck is, your card levels, or if you spend money. It is clear that you are supposed to get a couple wins and lose a couple times over and over until you have played many matches and your net trophies are only a couple wins worth. You will never go to the next arena in one try. You will sit 100 trophies below it for a very long time until the game randomly decides to let you progress. It will let you progress only if you purchase something or have tried enough to push past the next couple trophies. There is evidence of this in many articles online. It is unfortunate that most games have become focused on your wallets rather than your enjoyment. As with all supercell games, they are “free to play”. However, it takes a decade to reach maximum level for anything in any of their games without spending at least $100USD. It is scary to think the price for maximizing your levels for all cards is likely in the $10,000USD+ range.

Super predatory tactics that are becoming more and more imposing on the state of the game each update.

I am just simply so upset at how Supercell has taken a great game, perfectly optimized for mobile, and destroyed it.
