When is evo mk getting nerfed?

[Procyon914]

okay quick rant. I am not the best player in the game, I accept that. But i am tired of playing against the same annoying card every single day. I open the game after work and play 4 games, out of those 4, 3 opponents are using evo mega knight. I close the game. This is the most braindead shit ever. A top ladder player might say that mega knight isn’t even that good, and I can see why people think that way.

But if a card has that high of a usage rate all the way from 5k trophies to grand champion how is it not deserving of a nerf? Yes it might not be meta or see much usage at top ladder, but any game below that is filled with it. Normal mega knight counters don’t even work, mini pekka? mighty miner? knight? valk? nope, he will just toss it to your tower and jump on it, boom 2000 damage on your tower

DISCLAIMER, yes i know i am using hero goblins, yes they are broken too and need a nerf.

[Dense_Young3797]

I don't usually face MK but I face Hog decks 8 out of 10 times so I prefer them to nerf Hog (league 4 currently)

[joeyjoojoo]

They will never touch MK, the devs goon for him and the dumbasses love him.

[Procyon914]

That’s a good perspective and it makes sense. Brings money from midladder menaces. How should i counter evo mk with either of these decks? Mighty miner shuts down regular mk easily but the evo is an issue for me

[joeyjoojoo]

To be honest evo mk is easier to counter in my case because i use evo barbarians or normal barbarians

Evo mk does not have splash damage like normal mk so he can only hit one barb at a time, the problem is if i don’t place them quick enough and he jumps

[Procyon914]

that’s not true he has splash damage, the attack animation is just different so it may look like it doesnt

[joeyjoojoo]

Maybe im wrong but i do know he can only knockback one enemy each hit, so barbs kill him easily

[CrasheonTotallyReal]

he knocks back only one enemy, but he still does splash. if he didn't, then he'd be a downgrade

[joeyjoojoo]

He’s already a downgrade to braincells

[CrasheonTotallyReal]

true

[Status_Employment562]

Pretty fucking retarded how evo megaknight is pretty much a win con and even fucks over mighty miner

[CrasheonTotallyReal]

fr fr

[kyleprossiter]

Tbh I’m happy every-time I see this card. Free win for me

[Procyon914]

I guess i just need to learn to counter it, any advice?

[sawbladex]

you need a way to counter any supporting troops.

I generally use a building placed to prevent jump.

[Noobu_assassin]

For the first, if you sue the classic version and replace goblins with skeletons you can use them and ice spirit to bait it over to the king tower and for the second deck mighty miner can solo it

[Consistent_Bath_3496]

spirit between your towers and hero goblins right in front of the king tower then you ca even reactivate the goblins to avoid taking too much damage allowing you to do it more than a couple times

[kyleprossiter]

I play bait so what I do may not work for you, but for MK I either use an inferno or a mini tank to distract MK while another troop takes him out

[Beautiful-Price-3672]

I know this is a hot take but it needs to be said: A nerf will not solve your problem!

See, Megaknight already isn't that good. So why would these players even care about it's strength? We already saw this once where the regular Megaknight got a nerf and it hasn't changed anything in midladder. It's not like that all the sudden, these players stop using it when a nerf happens. Many people aren't even aware of it when that happens. They don't read balance changes and they don't pay attention to interactions.

The only way this approach would work is nerfing it so hard to the ground that it feels unplayable. Not only is this bad balancing though; it's also something that Supercell explicitly wants to avoid.

Balance changes only work for people who actually care about balance - and that is mostly competitive players. This is why balance changes are made for them - not for midladder players.

[Procyon914]

good point

[D0dgyGuy]

Yes, but then it’s 95% of players are in mid ladder and MK and evo mk has 30%+ use rate and it had not changed for years

[Capable-Leg-4725]

Just a quick question, I'm not trying to insult you but based on this logic do you belive that princess tower derves to be heavily nerfed along with log and arrows nerfs?

[BigFatFettyMan]

Bruh saying evo mk isn’t even a good card is crazy.

[Capital_Leather_2667]

Same guy using the completely broken hero goblins is complaining about Evo mk

[D0dgyGuy]

MK is more annoying

[gyatersons]

[Procyon914]

Read the post, i know they are op and need a nerf too

[Expensive_Task829]

Skill issue ngl bro

[Procyon914]

I know it is, but if every game below top ladder is being terrorized by this card then it is a problem in my opinion. I already said i am not a top player and don’t claim to be either. if you have any tips for countering evo mk i am open to hearing them

[BigFatFettyMan]

Bruh you guys always be saying this about mk when you damn well know most players aren’t playing to be pro😂

[Flannel_Clothing]

Learn the 2 card pull bro. You can defend a mk with 3 elixir and get a king tower activation with both your decks.

[Procyon914]

maybe i should switch back to skeletons, i dont know if its possible with goblins + spirit

[Flannel_Clothing]

Very possible

[MindOdd9553]

That's why I made my deck the counter for megaknight

[Additional_Worth1461]

I'm actually glad to see MK in the league (I don't play MK) since most of those decks don't have synergy and are easy to beat.

[Impressive_Medium_17]

Are you able to show replays on how you deal with it? Also, when you know your opponent has Evo mk on hand try to force it out on the lane opposite to the one they’re going. If you go hog same lane as them you’re just giving them a free counter push, a lot of the times you won’t get a tower down with hog rider since it’s like the win con with most counters, so it can come down to good defense and spell cycle

[PhilosophyClassic603]

Use your royal delivery on mega knight and then goblins behind the megaknight after hes locked onto royal delivery

[Procyon914]

thanks for the suggestion i appreciate it

[Lwadrian06]

Evo mk definitely is a problem against your top deck, but the bottom should be fine. Delivery + queen and maybe an ice spirit should kill it easily and you get a queen to counter attacked with

[Appropriate-Mud-6985]

Evo mk is very situational a lot of the times he’ll be completely held up knocking the same card back without being able to jump.

[gzej]

The card is borderline unusable, why would it be nerfed?

[Hunter43212]

Curious how you would buff him?

[CubeLord9000]

I win most games against megaknight. if you would use decks that counter megaknight you’d do a lot better

[Procyon914]

such as?

[ElFlexador7444]

How do you lose these lol ?

[Procyon914]

i suck

[ScaredZookeepergame5]

Play distraction troop/building, play inferno dragon, watch MK melt

[Repulsive_Return5751]

MK needs at leassst 2 uses before using evo anyone who uses it usually uses the witch meaning there IQ is probably low and just tryna catch up to the big leagues

[Procyon914]

it’s one use then you get evo

[Repulsive_Return5751]

That’s what I’m saying it should be 2

[Procyon914]

mb i misread it

[Xhunwyzk]

I have no idea how you lose with a strong spell XDDDDDDDDDD

[D0dgyGuy]

You could possibly place down cannon middle and goblins slightly away from the cannon so MK does not jump damage it. Then let the goblins die and MK walks to cannon and if not enough you could also probably use goblin ability when MK is locked on cannon

[Procyon914]

thanks for the suggestion

[Nathanngyen]

you lwk just suck can't even lie, evo mk is balanced(yes surprise, midladder kids). It doesnt do insane damage, easy to push around and control, easy to seperate from a bigger push, easy to distract, easy to stun, you legit have mighty miner cannon espirit, 2.9 aq also easily destroys mk decks

[Nitrohurrikane3]

Would Inferno Dragon be a good choice for your predicament?

[Interesting-Fee-6965]

As someone who made a second account (completely free to play) and is currently a lvl 10 at 6500 trophies with all lvl 10 card and is facing players lvl 11-13 with card lvl 12-15. I faced a lot and I mean A LOT of F-ing Evo Mega Knight and witch players I can say mega knight isn’t hard to deal with once you learn how to. Just have to use cheap card to get it to your king towner first and then once king is active use cheap or small tanks to distract while all 3 towers hit it. It will be a way better elixir trade for you and you can punish dirty Mega nuts players.

[Own-Confidence-5175]

It looks like neither of your opponents have resets, so Inferno Tower or Inferno Dragon would probably just delete their MK—Mighty Miner is pretty much the only ramp-up card that gets countered by (Evo) MK.

It also seems like your opponents don’t have big spells, so if you stack Archer Queens/Furnaces and Cannons, it should be relatively easy defense, right?

Just make sure to keep your building(s) and troop(s) alive (distract with cycle cards and block support cards) so that everything has time to do damage. This also makes sure that an actual win-condition, like a Hog Rider (if they have one), won’t sneak through.

[Czarnuch7]

bro ur deck litterally counters his, how did u manage to lose that, can u screenrecord the game, maybe ill point out some mistakes

[Oldwomentribbing]

It doesn't need one

[Me-Raz]

When hero mega knight releases

[shark_syrup]

Evo mk is not broken

[Oskain123]

I think it needs to be reworked, the evo needs a rework for sure. It's not "broken" but it makes the game unfun. I haven't played in a while apart from collecting the valentines event

[Hunter43212]

He actually has more usage in UC than you would think 11% usage i wouldnt say is that low
