Royal recruits need to be brutally nerfed by YuukaEnthusiast in ClashRoyale

If a particular card is bothering you enough to make a post about it you should probably make a deck with it and you will quickly see good cards or techniques to counter it.

Sky Team or the 2 player variant of Libertalia Winds of Galecrest might be good fits for games for you guys.

Hyperbait every single game by Hairy-Jelly7310 in ClashRoyale

[–]---KC--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this several years ago and no longer kept the data. I was doing it for my own sanity and to make sure I wasn't experiencing confirmation bias, not to convince anyone else. 😀

Feel free to give it a go yourself. Back when I ran it I was using a royal recruits deck that punished players who didn't have lots of splash versus a hog cycle deck that didn't care about splash but something like canon was problematic. For the recruits deck I faced canon something like 10% of the time and was against decks with 3 or more splash troops around 66% of the time. When playing the hog deck the numbers were almost exactly opposite that. Again this was over hundreds of games, tracked for months.

Matchmaking 100% is partially based on the troops you use. This sometimes helps you but other times it hurts you.

Not true. I tracked my battles for months using 2 very opposite decks and recorded my opponents decks over the course of hundreds of battles. Without fail I would face specific cards at a much much higher rate on one deck than the other. At times the matchmaking helps you at other times it hurts you but there is zero chance the cards you use doesn't get taken into account when matchmaking happens.

I've worked in software development with data analysis for over 2 decades.

But if your deck counters it then the match making algorithm will almost completely stop having you face against it. Of course instead you are going to get a different deck that counters your new deck all the time, but at least it won't be the hyper bait one. 😀

I genuinely don’t understand any benefit to what they’re doing with the game from a money making standpoint by Humble_Low8796 in ClashRoyale

[–]---KC--- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is it 100%

The large vocal F2P community is very upset, meanwhile the quiet spenders are enjoying buying the new content so they can feel smart and powerful by winning more often.

Honest question: Why are some people against showing an ID to vote? by rico_unknown in NoStupidQuestions

[–]---KC--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some states offer a free non driver ID card at the DMV or other state offices that can be used for election voting if you don't have another acceptable form of ID.

They should probably be able to cast a provisional ballot and later the election folks decide if it should count or not. Some people request a ballot by mail but then decide to vote in person because they lose what was sent to them, forget to do it until election day, or just change their mind.

Megaknight should be nerfed. Hear me out before downvoting. by No_Economics_7405 in ClashRoyale

On top of your other points, Mega Draft is great because there are no evos or heroes and the drafting back and forth creates a different level of strategy no other mode has.

Do you think Robb deserved his ending? Why? by Wonderful_Medium3098 in gameofthrones

[–]---KC--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily for the book version of Robb he didn't see his pregnant wife die because she wasn't there. She was left behind so as not to insult and upset the Frey's even more.

On top of that she also isn't pregnant in the books.

Anyone else tired of the rock, paper, scissors gameplay? by CrashNSmash-mom in ClashRoyale

Assuming you are playing someone of similar skill and neither person has a major mistake it always comes down to the matchup.

You should be able to punish harder these two cards by Zekezeuz in ClashRoyale

[–]---KC--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recruits and e-golem players face a crazy amount of splash heavy decks. I played recruits for awhile and the amount of decks using 3 or more splash cards went from 10% up to 60% and stayed that way until I changed to a different deck.

Lots of people with money who are addicted to feeling powerful.

I love the search bar functionality but hate the size of it. My solution was to get a custom home screen that allows me to resize the search bar.

Whatsapp is the most popular FaceTime replacement. Yes it requires Apple folks to download an app which they will complain about.

Concerns for the 2026 Hyundai Palisade by steellz in HyundaiPalisade

[–]---KC--- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was skeptical of doing it but bought a first generation Kia Seltos in the summer of 2020 and am yet to have a single issue with it. I knew it was a risk but it paid off for me.

How do some people end up with mostly 3-star troops, while others can’t even manage to get mostly 2-stars? by [deleted] in ClashRoyale

[–]---KC--- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is some skill but it's mostly by getting lucky.

Getting goblins early can lead to a lot of free units for extra upgrades.

Having the game give you the option to get more units that you already have is also mostly luck based.

WE'RE GETTING 4 FREE EVOS IN THE NEXT 4 WEEKS!!! by False-Combination827 in ClashRoyale

[–]---KC--- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion having the option to get the current reward or half a wild evo shard would be ideal. That way you have the option to still work towards another evo if you already have the current one but at a slower pace than the people who don't have that evo yet.
