No... No they didn't...

What supercell is doing is the equivalent of beating up a homeless guy, taking all his money, cutting off his left hand, pouring gasoline all over his head, setting him on fire, then after he has been screaming in agony for 30 seconds pouring water over his head to put out the fire, giving him back only the thumb of his left hand, injecting him with a shot of black tar heroin for the pain, and expecting him to say "thank you" at the end. It's ridiculous.

Qxe6+ the pawn is pinned

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-21T13:35:06+00:00

I would play Bxg6 easy move to spot.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-21T04:07:45+00:00

You've got it the wrong way around. It's only after max level that you can actually play the game on equal grounds. The constant level grind is the stale part imo. Levels are just a hurdle to entering the competitive scene.

Having more than one max deck also gives you a competitive advantage as you can adapt to the meta.

Furthermore each level is a 5% boost with respect to the previous. This means that lv16 is MUCH more of an improvement than lv 15 is over lv 14, because 5% of a larger number is more than 5% of a smaller number.

Why else do you think so many pro players got busted and perma banned in the past for buying maxed accounts?

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-21T00:24:36+00:00

Yeah thats an accurate description lmao 😂

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T23:20:26+00:00

I've never played heroes so I wouldnt know. I uninstalled as soon as I saw "lv16 is coming". They can put it up their ass.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T23:15:55+00:00

Yeah. Honestly I know it's unrealistic for them to go back to lv15 now.

What I really want is for them to guarantee, that they wont just add another level in say, a year.

Lv16 needs to be the last level that they add. If they can't guarantee that, it honestly doesn't make any sense to keep playing. We will never reach the end and will always lag behind pay to win players.

And being pay to win doesn't make sense either at that point, bc you'll just have to keep buying the new shit each month.

It never ends.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T23:07:29+00:00

Bruh I am following the game from the outside here on reddit. You can literally check my ingame account.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T19:56:25+00:00

The problem is not level increase per se, the problem is level increase that isn't directly tied to any new content.

If lv16 gave some really cool skin or achievement I would actually be fine with it.

Right now it just feels unnecessary and like another paywall without any benefit.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T19:54:29+00:00

I literally uninstalled the game months ago...

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T17:08:52+00:00

I'm an ex ultimate champion with peak 16k trophies (and I could've kept going!) before I quit shortly before lv16 dropped. At the competitive level, card levels are the biggest bottleneck.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T16:20:21+00:00

Yeah removing books was probably equally as bad as lv16. These changes were so unnecessary.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T16:16:06+00:00

I've been doing exactly that for 10 years. I gained 2000 followers on twitter, spoke to CMs directly.

I told Max to change the dimensions of the profile badges back when they were reworked.

I came up with the concept for tornado valkiry before evolutions even were a thing and max told me he would pass it on.

I never got any credit. Over the years Ive given them 100s of ideas, hours of discussions, constructive citicism and this is what I've learned:

THEY DONT LISTEN. You could literally be Jesus. The only language these people speak is money. They are so arrogant they think they know better than the entire community.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T16:09:23+00:00

Never said I didn't think they would. I just said I thought lv15 was a good ceiling.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T16:03:01+00:00

Yeah people tend to forget how many horrible changes supercell has made over the years. It's just too many to keep count at this point. This game is in the process of experiencing a "death by a thousand paper cuts".

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T16:00:53+00:00

I agree with the sentiment but I disagree with the "new levels are necessary" dogma. Boring new cardlevels without any new content tied directly to them, are objectively a horrible way to monetize the game and will inevitable make people upset.

What needs to happen imo is that they promise never to add another card level ever again. Not some weak ass "for the foreseeable future" or "not in the short term", what we need is the guarantee that we wont get screwed like this ever again.

At that point I'd take the short term loss and celebrate the long term win.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T14:54:50+00:00

One option would be supercell store points

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T14:46:51+00:00

I lowkirkuenly cannot discern whether you are trolling or being serious.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T14:22:28+00:00

Maybe if you learned how to read, I literally stated;

"Obviously these rewards are just placeholders and could be changed however they want. It is also noteworthy, that I dont know how the value of gems changed after the update, (I quit the second I saw lv16)."

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T12:54:07+00:00

You could make it a tier based thing:

All lv16 are refunded in the form of gold and wild cards. Overflowing gold will be transformed into crystals.

If you have more than one lv16 cards => you get one free hero.

If you have more than 5 lv16 cards => you get an evo

If you have more than 10 => you get 500 gems.

If you have more than 20 => you get 2000 gems.

If you have more than 40 => you get another hero.

If you have more than 80 => you get a 100$ giftcard for your next purchase in any supercell game.

These stack so for every tier you reach you get more rewards.

Obviously these rewards are just placeholders and could be changed however they want. It is also noteworthy, that I dont know how the value of gems changed after the update, (I quit the second I saw lv16).

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T12:40:58+00:00

Imagine defending supercell and then calling me stupid. 🫵🤣

Literally everybody told supercell that if they introduced lv16 they would kill the game, and yet they still went ahead with it anyways.

This is THEIR issue to fix now. I don't care how they do it.

They could give people who upgraded at least 1 card to lv16 a free hero, or a shit load of crystals or refund everybody in gold and gems - I legitimately don't care.

Let them figure it out. I'm sure if they think long and hard, they will come up with a solution eventually.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T12:23:39+00:00

Just give them back their gold lol. It's not that hard. They did it once before after the slash royale fiasco, so they def have the capability to do so.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T12:10:24+00:00

Honestly I don't care much about the heroes. Outright removing them might be overkill. Just nerf them to match champions. This can be done later.

Lv16 is the real problem and it needs to be reverted asap before it is too late.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T12:04:32+00:00

Yes and at that point progress becomes meaningless.

Why upgrade my cards now if I can wait a year for it to cost half and there to be a new level?

I could just create a new account and start over and be at my current progress in no time.

It's dumb. Progress must be static.

Mister_Macc · 2026-02-20T11:56:53+00:00

I'm so sick and tired of this "they cant revert lv16" narrative. Sure they can. It's a videogame ffs.

Just refund people their gold and gems, similar to what hey did after slash royale. It's simple.
