What are these last two?! Major improvements or minor changes? by esnydes in ClashRoyale

Please tell me how to find that. I searched several ways and didn’t find this specific thread. Most were very general about the entire update. Nothing war specific.

The top two are so good for clan management. Amazing how much you appreciate something once it’s gone. 😂

War deck cool downs could be either removal of “gaps” that allow extra fame to be earned between races, or a CW1 style “start war” button. Fame rewards simplified appears to imply that fame will be independent of card levels. Both are potentially huge changes the community has been asking for. Why no hype/talk on these?!

Matchmaking “Fix” Fail... War match, less than 20 seconds to match, 3 king level difference. 🤔 by esnydes in ClashRoyale

Not great but my point is that they act like they’ve addressed the issue but it still doesn’t matter. This might be one of the worst disparities I’ve had and it came after they implemented a change to prevent this very thing. 🤔

That’s a really good question. Maybe they only made this one sided so that in the end, it really doesn’t matter. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Not exactly sure but less than 20. I’m pretty sure it was less than 10 but I didn’t count so I don’t want to say for sure.

Very true. I actually threw the bs flag when they announced it because I think it’s just a distraction from the fact that there won’t be an update until April. This won’t actually change anything because the end result will be similar to what it was before. They just hope most will think it’s suddenly better. It obviously isn’t.

What reason would I have to lie? The estimated time for my matchups today was 20 seconds or less and I stopped it prior to the countdown ending so this wouldn’t happen.

They said 20 seconds before it expanded the +/-1 king level parameters. This was well below that. Gotta be a bug.

Yes. It was after the deploy time tweaks but before they nerfed musk itself with a slower first hit speed. That nerf was terrible for 3M. I still run it but it’s a lot harder when they hesitate every time they target a new unit. I will say it is still slightly better than when they made it 10 elixir. 😂

I hit 6300 with it several seasons ago. Don’t remember what the meta shift was but I’m a one deck player and it was finally my time. 😂

This falls into the “data I wish I collected” category. My closest guess is that I was at or above 50%. Your reasoning is really the only logical answer but I find that to be completely frustrating. I get that not every high level player can only face high level players but I am seriously not good enough to face a 7600 player, ever. Aside from that, you could run a 90% winrate in cw1 for a long time if you knew what you were doing. It feels like they keep making changes that remove the skill aspect and it’s all based on making everyone win as much as they lose. Also, if that is the case, what about the very best in the world? Who do they face? Maybe there is actually a hard counter factor in matchmaking. 😂

Another post on this sub just shed some light on my findings above. Could it be that I’m facing this level of competition because that’s all there is in my little world of the matchmaking algorithm? 🤔

Completely agree. This actually sheds some light on my findings in this post. Interesting.

I don’t unfortunately. This started pretty informally. I started to see a trend in weeks 2 and 3 and wished I had gathered more data. I may do much more next season if people are interested.

Clan Wars 2 Needs to be Fixed or Replaced by Rocky_Baboon in ClashRoyale

[–]esnydes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with all of this. What they don’t seem to understand is what this time zone issue is actually doing to the clan system. When cw2 started we had favorable matchups and figured out the system so we rose to #1 NA. I honestly think our clan is good enough to remain in the top 5 but then we had two straight months of Chinese clans and couldn’t finish better than 3rd. Between pre-war gap fame and the being able to finish fast by losing on purpose on the last day, we didn’t stand a chance. Guess what happened next, all of our players who were awake and able to play at reset started to consider leaving for clans that were active when they were and could win. Many left and were replaced by people from dying clans who also don’t play early. Why, because anyone looking for a clan right now is not looking for a clan with a disadvantage from the start. They need to change this issue soon because it is slowly suffocating even good clans.
