Clash Royale |OT| Should I keep playing when I'm full on chests?
- Thread starter SUBZERO-08
- Start date
Took a while collecting all the ladder rewards, but I'm not complaining.
As a person who mostly plays ladder, this is a great update for me. I was just starting to feel the game was getting stale.

Haha, I spent like 10 minutes collecting all of the rewards.
I'm actually glad they changed 2v2 to have the 3 minute overtime. It's pretty frustrating getting a draw when you were super close to winning.
On another note, does anyone here play Classic Challenges?

Only when I'm trying out a deck and I don't have the levels for ladder.
I don't get the gates thing at all. I got a new trophy high, then dropped 400+ trophies (and a ranking) over the next couple of days. I didn't think that was supposed to be possible anymore.

A week ago I went on a Classic Challenge kick, but I noticed something a bit odd. A year back I would play one Classic Challenge every day (before war became a thing) and would regularly get 12 wins using any random meta deck. However, now it's quite difficult to even get 8. It seems like the difficulty has went up significantly. I wonder why that is.
Gates only apply to the arenas. So if you made it to Arena 10, you would no longer be able to drop down to Arena 9. However, Leagues do not have this same safety net. You are free to drop all the way down to 4000 trophies. I was hoping it would apply to Leagues as well, would have let me try out some different decks without worrying too much.
Yeah it feels like once I hit a certain point in the challenge (7/8 wins) I only face off against the "hot deck of the week" and get my 3 loses pretty quickly.
Just as my interest in this game was flagging, the new changes came along and revitalized it for me. That lasted all of a week, once I realized that the gates didn't apply to leagues. I'm seeing the exact same decks over and over again at this point. I had hoped gates would allow me (and others) to mix it up more.
I've hit a new trophy high having just passed 5200 last night, though not sure why as I'm using my same old deck and seeing the same old decks in opposition.
I think I'm sticking with the game out of habit more than anything. I still find matches exciting moment to moment, but things haven't felt fresh in a while. Things like the Dragon Egg challenge are nice distractions I guess, but don't really feed anything back into the main game.
They changed ladder trophy gains. I usually gain 30 on wins and lose ~18 on loss. Upshot is that everyone tends to move up.
I've been seeing a lot of low-level opponents lately (like level 11 towers at 4900 trophies) who are way above their previous trophy high.
I think the compensation is that everyone comes crashing down on season reset (I'm currently set to go from 4910 to 4228). So each season you'll tend to have big trophy gains, which gives you a chance to walk back through the 4000+ Trophy Road rewards.
Ah, that would explain it. And the more numerous level 11 players I've seen at 4800+.

I am curious about how one aspect of the season reset will work. So with the last update they added a 24-hour boost every time you enter a new league, but after the reset what will happen if you drop to a number of trophies that's higher than a certain league? Say I drop to Challenger II, will I miss out on the Challenger I boost? Do I need to drop down on the last day of the season to get the extra 24-hour boost?
I am seeing 11's in the 5200-5300 range too. Granted... a lot of them are packing multiple maxed out cards ;)
Supercell stated that league chest boosts would be given if your reset is beyond Challenger I. You don't need to drop trophies to get the bonus.

They posted some information on Reddit regarding how the May balance changes turned out so far that I thought was interesting:
Log Bait win-rate is lower than I expected given how much I see it on ladder.

I would think that nothing should have much over a 50% win rate, ideally.
Surprisingly, I am seeing a little less bait than I did when the buff was announced. I was hella pissed at that.

Yeah, I've seen a huge increase in decks that don't make sense in the past few months. I've seen combinations like Hog + Goblin Barrel, Royal Giant + Hog, Royal Giant + Giant Skeleton. Not sure why.
Hog plus goblin barrel used to be pretty common together. Maybe it's making a comeback with the buff. I used to play a hog, gb, bait deck about a year or so ago. Clan mate has been playing same deck for awhile now and is one of our highest ranked players.
Hog, GB, skelly army, gob gang, zap, log, inferno tower, and princess. The clan mate recently changed log to barb barrel. But it is a good deck.

I've opened clan for a while, send an invite if you can.
Or even better, send me your tag

Happy about the quest change.
Addition of a season pass was inevitable in my view. Nothing there that interests me in getting it. I haven't even done any of the cosmetic upgrades to any of my troops despite having the points to do so.
In other "news", I made it to 6000 trophies yesterday. Not sure what arbitrary goal to set for myself next.
I just simply set a goal of finishing higher then I did the last month. Not much else to go for these days.
So if anyone is wondering if Pass is worth it, here is good rundown on Reddit:
With Pass Royale:

Man, Pass Royale upsells (and reminders) are everywhere in the interface! They must be raking in the cash, as anecdotally 90% of the people I am facing have the "gold plate" name tags.
Still not motivated at all to get it myself, though I can see the "oh it's only $X and I would get all this stuff" feeling growing as designed over the month.

Oh the reminders are everywhere haha but it's not a terrible deal for all of the gold/cards you're getting. I play a few times a day already, this is just giving me some bonus stuff for doing that. The way I see it, it's the money I probably would've spent on coffee and a breakfast sandwich anyway.
It's not much, and I'm tempted given the low price. But I just don't need any extra stuff. I'm not trying to level any particular cards, and I have a ton of gold and gems already because of it. I switched off emotes the second I had the option and never turned it back on. And the skins aren't compelling when everybody gets the same ones.
This is the only F2P game I ever spent money in, so it isn't without precedent. I just am not compelled by any of it.
I got a ton of stuff fast (all 35 tiers in a few days) and now I think I probably won't bother next month. Leveled a lot of cards I wanted to, but now I'm pretty much where I want to be with everything.
Looks like a new Supercell game is soft launching tomorrow? Rumors say it will be a combination of Clash Royale and Brawl Stars:

I downloaded it a few hours ago. I'm finding it pretty fun so far. I've barely played Brawl Stars, but it reminds me of a mix between Clash Royale and Boom Beach.

The game won't even log in on Android. Keeps saying wait a while. I connected my Supercell ID to a work iPhone just to get in. Hopefully it'll be back up soon.
