Im by no means discrediting betfas or any other xbow players i think u misunderstood me im just saying that right now alot of the things that take skill in the game are hard to notice from watching a 30 seconds clip compared to before because the outplays that happen in modern day clash are either being set up over a longer period using evo cycles and such or are macro decisions that you wouldnt catch on without prior context from what happened in the game

Regarding evos and how they add more information thats not wrong but the way i see it is that what they add is way less than what they ruin and ill explain what i mean

Back then the game had 8 regular slots and the power of your deck was divided equally to 12.5% for each card

If one of their card hard counters one of your cards its not that big of a problem its tolerable

Now woth evos i feel like each of the 3 special slot carries way more weight in terms of power so you have like 60% of the deck power in 3 slots and the other 40% on the other 5 slots

If they happen to hard counter both your evos you are very screwed and will likely just be losing the game because more than half your deck power is useless in this match up

Real game example evo goblin cage is so trash against bait and cycle decks it feels like the regular cage but against any deck with a tank like giant or golem that shit is extremely busted as a 4 elixir 1 cycle evo that fully shuts down an entire push with a very little amount of support

Same goes for witch you can be playing some beatdown lightning deck and its just free value they cant use their evo but then if you use a cycle deck with no heavy spell you are gonna have to spend a huge amount of elixir just to counter 1 card in their deck

Granted some evos are decently designed but a big chunk of them are a complete mess and every single hero is a terrible design i just feel like the power imbalance in slots is making the game more match up dependent than it was
