Yeah it’s still insane how you can create new content after such a long period of bad updates
Its Insane
Fax
One isnt a long periode
Can’t express my rage after seeing a bunch of dumb sheep being manipulated in the clash royale official videos, literally shilling this dumb decision just because “tHeY aRe eAsIEr tO uPgRaDe”, we’re being fooled with the same strategy they did last time with adding champions and a new card level at the same time. they get so easily distracted from the problem it’s disgustingly annoying
@@eplisoilleaguewooosh
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.
Clash of clans es todavía peor, te tomaría años maxear toda la cuenta
@@IscAst4atleast you can skip the opponent while attacking if it's over level. Clash of clans is made for slow upgrade and long term. Only criticism would be war matchmaking.
@@IscAst4 La diferencia es que puedes jugar Clash of Clans sin tener todo maxeado, el juego está hecho para que avances, dejes el juego meses, vuelvas y sigas avanzando
No tienes desventaja por ser un TH7, incluso puedes hacerte un clan full de ayuntamientos no tan altos y las guerras serán (casi) siempre justas
Si dejas de jugar CR te quedas atrás, los oponentes de tu propia arena estarán en un nivel más alto, el grindeo que te toma literalmente MESES para obtener UNA sola evolución es absurdo, y en CoC el grindeo no es la base principal del juego y si dejas de hacerlo no te quedas atrás, en CR grindear para levelear cartas no es divertido y te pone en desventaja ante jugadores Pay to Win

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.
Agreed.
@@TheSiryits cuz p2w you are forced to pay to not be at a disadvantage where the tower skins are just cosmetics
@@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.
@@TheSiry ik very sad and unfortunate but i think people care more about skins in Fortnite than clash and thats why they are afraid to make the change

You right am at arena 14, why the hell am I seeing evos, princess, miners and other legendary cards.
I’ve been playing for 7 years and I completely agree with the points addressed here. Despite having my deck all lvl14 cards, it is impossible if I use anything else since the level difference is so significant. Sad to see how much the game downgraded, would love to see it back in the top mobile charts like 2016.

Level 15 was actually good clash Royale was already starting to lose players but a new level has increased its activity tenfold.
nice pfp wtf
thx yours too@@hoplul
@@dragonspeakogThe CZcams scene is barely running. Evolutions are the reason for the recent bump which are as bad btw. Community gatherings be it on Discord or Reddit are shitting on the devs.
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.
If this game dies, I strongly believe you are entertaining enough to branch out. I will keep watching you even if you play something like candy crush. It's awesome to see creators standing against stupidity.

Facts
@@ronanv3986what about kfc?
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.
Thanks for taking a stand B-rad! I'm about to hang my hat up on the game at this point.
glad you're speaking out, if anyone's gonna make a difference it's you 💪

Yeah his chicken mukbangs are so influencial. ❤
No one said he’s not? Also you got botted subs
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.
I feel that being underleveled in king tower levels is worse than card levels, as atleast cards require SOME form of skill, while the king towers are just a direct increase.
Yk whats even worste? Level 15 kings have 2 evolutions when 14 has 1.
@@helptowin What? I wasn't aware of that, must be a new change I have not been on clash royale in several months.
@@TheThing49 yeahh man.. level 15 kings have 2 evolution slots on decks while 14 and lower has 1
After 7 years, playing though all game modes, through all seasons, making my way to being maxed out on level 14 and supporting and pushing my clan to top10 local I've stoped playing this game. B-rad is on point, now more than even. Good luck Supercell and B-rad I'll be around for your next game. Thanks for everything, you're a star.
B-rad is here to save us from the worst. We all had no idea and i am not suprised they screwed up their game but not to this extent. Thanks legend
downfall since CW2
@@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.
@@EpicSword28they should make the minimum per person to get a chest a setting the leader can change (since not every clan is a tryhard clan)

@@supreme_042aren’t you just mr smart guy
it's simple, they want it to take long to upgrade cards so you spend actual money to speed up the process. It's a business and this is a very good idea from them on the business stand point. In a month or two there just gonna make an announcement and be like you guys were right too many cards to upgrade it takes too long. after they already sucked out the money of a lot of players. They need to make it seem like they care when of course they don't. They just want money

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.
As an 8 or 9 year old player you missed out on the best mobile card game ever made way before 2020

There ONLY 4 cards that can reach level 15 and all of them can be leveled up with ANY of your other cards

(It would still be pay 2 win just way less then the hell hole we have now)
I think what mostly pushed the developers to make this nonsense decision is the fact that a lot of players will see themselves not having any other choice but to spend money into the game to have their cards upgraded. Money is clearly the purpose of changes coming from people that don't know the game.
I think a lot of us have left the game and only keep up with it through your videos. Thank you for making this video, you might actually cause some change for the game

This was an established trend since the beginning. I played the game when level 9 was the highest, they raised it to 10 and so forth. I'm kind of appalled that it took this long to be called out. Its also the reason why I quit because I could see this becoming a problem.

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.
p.s. edited for clarity and Grammer as I was made fun of 😂
Thank you for sharing your story, it helps me understand the full scope even more

Ps the devs know we don't want card levels. They don't care. They just want to make money and our hoping they can get away with it.
Supercells revenue was over 2 billion dollars last year
Beautifully said
Bros speaking the most solid facts. Love this comment
Real
They went the EA way
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.
Same. I just started playing again as well after 2-3 years and the game is still fun. I love playing it but the upgrading to level 15 is so annoying. I was so confused at first and then I realized you have to collect elite wild cards. I was wondering why it's taking so long to collect enough then I came across this video. The thing I loved about Supercell is how the games are truly free to play but it's sad to see how they are no longer like that.

@@chavalomiguel5587That has nothing to do with this dawg
honestly thanks to b-rad who after all those bad updates we’ve been getting still cares a lot about this game and is willing to do anything to save the game he loves
Brad's honesty is a ray of light.
They have been making so many changes the last years that worked in favour of their cashing but against the game itself.
I already gave them 40-60 bucks and I have been playing for 4 years 1600 wins at 7000 trophies and I can’t play with any deck at max while I’ve been playing the same deck for years to level it up
Came back here to say this. Brad is moving the community with this video.
I thought that the progression was already tedious enough to go from lvl 1-14. Thanks Brad for explaining this to the people who run the game.
Truly is pay to win now
Cr has become midladder royale now. Just have level 11 mega knights in arena 7 and be happy. And don't even try to go up

I stopped playing CR in 2018. I won almost no prize money and never streamed, so I couldn't really afford P2W. I ended up buying an account with level 11/12 cards for $100 and got a deck of commons and rares to level 13 under a lot of grind. In total, I spent maybe 200 dollars to be able to play a single deck of commons and rares at max level. Why did I stop? Because I was bored with my own deck, because I had to choose between competition and variety. Why I never came back? About a year later level 14 was released and now I stumble across your video and hear about Champion Cards and level 15. It's a pity, but Supercell doesn't bring old players back, they actually prevent them from giving the game a fresh start.
I agree with you man but monetization has ALWAYS been crap with supercell...
I quit CR a while ago because of the pay to win nature, and seeing it slowly deteriorate into an even more pay to win game with microtransactions everywhere you look is just insane. I hope you succeed brad, the game depends on it.
For real man, I’ve been grinding this game since middle school and then quit after I personally thought I became too pay to win. Seeing it fall even further into the pay to win spiral really is depressing
Not I *it lol

I am glad that B-rad has his channel centred around himself rather than Clash Royale. I would watch him play any game. I don't even play Clash Royale anymore but still watch his videos.
Fr, left the game like 3 years ago but just watch his videos cuz he’s entertaining.

his views would drop by 50% if he switched over. Many have done this before and it’s always the same result

I stand in solidarity with you, I won't play Clash Royale until this gets fixed. Together, we can make an impact, they will have to listen.
I don’t really play CR much anymore, been playing clash of clans a lot more, and the sad part in this, is probably even with the 10+ day upgrades in coc, you will max out before any cr player will
I hell respect your courage to upload this. If you really think about it; in Brads situation 99% of people would never have even made this video.

u make this game look so enjoyable and fun but these last couple months i havent been able to see the fun in this absolute grindfest. im so glad you spoke up for us average players who dont wanna drop thousands of dollars or wait years to unlock all levels.
Haven’t played in two years almost came back area 17 btw first game level 15 mega knight ebarbs and balloon against my level 12 and two level 14 deck. Then I check pass Royale and saw it is 3 times more expensive and no where near the value
I stopped playing this game years ago. But even I can understand how bad this update will be. Respect to Brad for being the voice for the community!

You guys are genuinely entertaining and witty enough, especially you Brad, to be able to branch out after this game kills itself off. The greed is too insane
Definitely wouldn't work. The whole appeal of watching b-rad videos is that he's a pro player that understands the game on an insane level, but plays ridiculous decks and challenges. If he switched to another game, sure he might still be funny, but he'd just be another casual and 90% of his subscribers wouldn't watch another video
@@michaelgeorge4780 no, if he’s this good at Clash he could get roughly as good at another game. Just takes practice and time
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

Sadly
yep
i am free to play player and for me its so hard now to farm this wild cards or do something in battles just because of lvl of my cards and its so disgusting to see peeple that are p2w that they got so much benefit and i'm trying to upgrade lvl 14 card for 4 months and i still need 20000 more wild card to upgrade it
I respect B-rad so much now. His stand by not upgrading is commendable and he is completely right that they add nothing and how none of us like adding new levels. Level 14 wasn’t fun for me when it was added, but at least champions were added and the added progression wasn’t even as close as level 15 will add. This is so awful and I worry about the game. I am excited for card evolutions, but also am worried we won’t get new cards anymore. Like it’s been nearly a year since they released a new card.
Not to mention that to go to fully max (again) might cost another few thousand (more) dollars, if the update math is correct.
Its been 7 months...
@@orcrist484 dude are you insane? If you simply play the game consistently, and buy the high value items, you can be fully maxed with well under $100. It’s good to see some actual progression being added, instead of here, play for a couple of weeks and get maxed again
You can tell how passionate he is about the whole thing and I truly feel sorry for the creators trying to reason with the devs for nothing. We stan with you Brad
(Kind of long but I think worth reading)
I used to play Clash Royale, from 2016 (Basically day one of Android release) to ~2018, I maxed my deck and got into the National Leaderboard while also being in one of the best clans of my country, after a mix of being bored and my phone breaking I stopped playing
Even though I don't play I have the game installed I tend to see what's is added year to year, I have to say that from an outsider perspective this game is going down hill
In the meantime I've played different multiplayer games, this past year or so I've been playing War Thunder, as a basic review, a military game with Tanks, Aircrafts and ships, you have to research them and have a currency that is used to buy them (once you finish researching them), to not make it too long, the Game Devs have been making progression harder and harder through the years, up to the point that buying a premium account is almost a necessity to progress
In an update ~a month ago they were going to implement some changes that would make the game significantly more grindy, the community was understandably enraged by this, they complained in the official forums by it was to no avail (Devs generally don't listen to the community unless it benefits them) so in the Game's subreddit a review bombing campaign begun, this review bombing campaign quickly expanded (also aided by a terrible and completely disconnected from the community blog post by one of the Main Devs) and the game reached "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam (Over 85k negative reviews posted in less than a week), with even the biggest content creator (that all are in a afiliate program which directly benefits them) talking and supporting the player base, some days after the game reached "Overwhelmingly Negative" the devs said that the changes were going to be reverted and that in Early June they would publish a roadmap to improve things
But what am I trying to say with this? It seems that Clash Royale is in a similar situation, far less severe but War Thunder also begun by similar things; I don't know how effective review bombing would be in a game so big and (I would assume) with a far higher kids percentage in the player base, but if enough people put a 1 start rating then the Devs will listen (as far as I know, low reviews directly impact how much the game is recommended)
TLDR: If a successful review bombing campaign is done by the Clash Royale community then the Devs will be forced to, at least, listen to the complaints
I stopped playing when they announced they were adding 15 like I was barely getting a lot to 14 had like 3 solid decks
Thank you for trying to save this game, you deserve eternal respect and most certainly over 1M subscribers. You're a real one for this. Much love from Portugal
He literally already upgraded his cards. He's already playing the game again. He's a complete loser, and a huge part to why these horrible companies are able to milk children.
👍
BEM CARALHO
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!
I ain’t readin all that

the pass royale was when i stopped playing, when i started facing max level decks at sub 4k trophies the game stopped being fun
I havent played the game in quite some time. But I know its serious when Brad steps forward, he knows the game in and out so much, I mean look at the background of his set. He truly cares for the game Supercell created, and he knows this is a mistake. I stand strong with you and hope this gets changed!
Yeah same here man; stopped playing for a little while, checked the subreddit, and everyone was so mad all a sudden and I don't blame them honestly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've never seen Brad so serious and emotional at the same time.....
The devs are basically evil genies at this point - yes they’re listening but what their giving us is so much worse then what we wanted. People have complained about gold being a bottle neck to progression so… look what the devs did. Gold is no longer the problem!
Utter disgusting cash grab. Played since launch, even went through the 13-14 madness, bought all the pass royales every month + gems. 15 got announced, I dropped CR instantly.
Sadly though, what the community and what the players want, aren't going to make them as much money as forcing everyone to upgrade their cards. It's because they know we have no choice but to pay in order to stay competitive. Unfortunately at the end of the day, Supercell is a business.
Me: "The last slash royale was the precursor to the most community outrage I've ever seen. Surely they will learn from their mistakes and this one will be better."
The Devs: "Hold my elixir."
What was the last one? I don't remember
@@blueknight4684 look up "The Time Clash Royale Scammed it's Own Community" by Gratz. It was when they introduced level 14.
You guys are kind of idiots, though. Devs have nothing to do with how the game is monetized. Devs simply do what their bosses tell them to do, because that's how having a job works. Put your anger in the right place.
The Devs: "Let's give them a 12500 gold rush, and wait for this all to blow over."

big props for standing up for the community
Pokémon Go did the same thing with XL candy. Everyone used to be able to max out their mons with 248 candy. They changed it to needing 296 XL candy that have a 1:100 conversion rate
That’s really messed up, but I really think that if they divided it by 10 (5000 elite wild cards) it would hypothetically take 1y for the average player, and I really think that’s a great balance for the “grinding” that they want
Thank you for standing up to the community Brad
*for the community
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
“BuT pEoPle dON’t knOW wHat TheY waNt!??!?!”

I love this game, but you hit the nail on the head with the title. Supercell is a DISGUSTING company on SO many levels. Things NEED to change.
Gonna be honest, didn't see this video coming from you, but I respect you for putting yourself out there.
The game has gotten to the point where a new player with enough $$$ on their hand can get champions like archer queen with 0 experience.
ikr like champions don’t even feel as legendary as legendaries used to :(, way back in the day getting a legendary was an insane event that got your heart racing, these days u get a champion and go ‘yeah whatever already got 40 of em’
@@hazza2247I remember going crazy when I got Princess for the first time and telling all of my friends who played the game about it. Now it’s just “oh, I got inferno dragon. Too bad I need another 7 of them to upgrade it and that it’s not the meta this season.”
@Hazza22 yeah good point. The value of getting cards like legendaries and champions has dropped so much.
2016:
"YO I got a miner"
"BRO WHAT NO WAY"
2023:
"Yo dude I got an archer queen after paying $5"
"K whatever"
Like champions were meant to be the highest value cards, now evolutions come in with unrealistic requirements, and in another 2 years champions will feel like legendaries because we will get some other new rarity of card that makes progression even harder for all players.
You can get a champ for free by playing 10 min a day for a month
@@RealK4_ i can relate to this miner was my very first legendary and i was beaming with joy for literally months
Super happy to see this type of video from you. Im worried they are making it seem exaggerated now, but then later reduces the amount of cards needed for level 15, so they can say "see, we listened to our community".
"We listened, and ignored"
SO TRUE NAHGHGH GHIS IS SO MEAN FROM SUPERL
Basically what they did with phoenix and monk
That's not gonna work this time.
They definitely will do something like that. The fact that we as communtity can predict something like that is just sad.
I miss 2016 - 2019 clash
Its a hell for f2p players like me
When they said no gold for level 15 people were (sorta) excited for it, but they just don't clarify things early enough. If they had just done no level 15, added evolution and just fixed some things like the pass or just added a new card, the update wouldve been successfully. We do not want level 15, thank you b rad for representing the community and telling them what we want.
To be fair, the level 14 update was the most popular clash Royale has been since global release, but I agree that level 15 was not implemented smoothly
@@silverpotato4272level 14 was NOT the most popular update. Correlation does NOT equal causation. What was popular at the time was CHAMPIONS that released alongside level 14. People didn't come back to the game to level their cards from 13 to 14. They came back to try the new cards that seemed cool, had new abilities, and added a new mechanic to late game grinding.
@@ownagenoobs1 fair, though I personally think that both were factors since many people at the time were complaining about the lack of progression. That being said nobody was really saying that we need more progression after lvl 14 came out
I want lvl 15, just should be easier to get
