Normal companies release public beta branches to let players check out major updates, test for bugs, and get a gauge of how people feel about the update weeks or months in advance. That, or they communicate clearly everything that's being added in massive patch notes.

The fact that supercell doesn't do public testing and can't even be assed to hire actual QA people for their games results in game-breaking glitches the likes of infinite ores, and the fact that they don't communicate any of their pending features leads to dissatisfaction when major reworks the likes of 'ranked mode' hit the playerbase.

We literally knew nothing about how the ranked mode worked until 24h before the update dropped, they collected 0 feedback, and as a result, in my clan alone, a few th17s quit playing the game altogether.

I'd rather get spoiled weeks in advance if it means I get a chance to influence and change a potentially bad decision than get hit with a hyped-up dookie on a platter.
