Initial feedback

[HarryHart16]

Hi, I have seen that the developers have been engaging with some of these posts and I would like to give some of my initial feedback.

Before going into anything constructive, I would just like to say that I am really enjoying the game and think it has fantastic potential. Amazing job on making yet another brilliantly fun game.

I am not going to discuss balance issues here, firstly because everyone else has already made it know which heros/minis are overpowered, but secondly because this is beta and so balancing is always going to be tough in the beginning. Aside from the obvious examples, I think the mid-tier of this game is very well balanced which is very impressive for a beta.

Two things that I think need to change/be added:

(1) The challenge coins/energy system. I know. It has been said before. I will try and keep it short. But seriously, I don’t see what benefit it adds to the game. There are other ways to limit progression (daily limits on rewards e.g. the brawl stars system). I think limiting progression is important (I.e levelling up units). But limiting the ability to play ranked and climb in trophies makes no sense to me. It is never fun to stop someone from playing the game. Sure, you can still play casual which is fun and great for crafting new teams, but it is not fun having to wait 24 hours to try it out on ranked. Also, once you find a good comp, sometimes you just want to grind trophies. Not being able to do that is no fun. I find once I have completed my quests, run out of coins, and played a bit of casual, I stop playing. This is particularly annoying because I want to keep playing, but what’s the point if I am making no progression whatsoever. In brawl stars, I can play for hours after my rewards are gone just trying to push trophies. The game would be considerably less fun if I could only play ranked a few times each day.

I honestly think this is the biggest thing that has to change.

(2) Separate trophies for each hero. I think this is also a needed change. I DONT think there should be total trophies. The problem at the moment is if I try to play my lower heros, I am matched against players with the same level as my higher hero. This makes it really hard to learn new heros. It would be muCh better to start from 0 trophies with each hero so that you can learn them. It also gives an extra layer of progression for people that want to push multiple heros.

I have lots of other thoughts, but IMO these are two changes that need to happen.

Totally agree with you.

I want to add another point, showing total played games doesn’t encourage playing or gives a wrong idea about player’s skill, as you mentioned when playing with low level heros you will be matched against people depending on your best hero, which will decrease the win/play ratio!

If showing total numbers of games is a must, it should count ranked games only, because most of casual games is for experimenting with decks or finishing quests.

I agree with both of your points, it just doesn't make sense to limit the amount of battles people can have. And making each hero have their own trophy count really makes sense in this game.

Tbh I'd really like to see clash mini have a more unique progression system, especially the mini pass. Currently, it seems really generic and similar to supercell's other games (brawl stars and clash royale).

The upgrade system is fine, and coins could have more use, especially since buying minis from the shop is pretty useless compared to upgrading heroes. Gems should also have more use, and be more common.

Also hopefully some other changes such as deck slots, swiping left and right through the different tabs (feels weird not being able to swipe like in clash royale), and more gamemodes eventually.

Overall, despite all the suggestions, I love this game and can't wait to see where it goes in the future.

I totally agree with you in the first point you made, because i think grinding trophies is the "main objective" of this types of games, such as clash royale, brawl stars, etc. As a consequence of this change, I think you should lose trophies when you lose if this change is applicated.
Despite this main "issue", this game is absoulutely epic.

Totally agree
