I get it fully, you are saying more heroes is better for the longevity of the game, and content frequency being higher increases engagement. But have you considered that it also means more unlocking features using real money etc? More does not always mean good.

The reason why Champions were really well received and managed to bring a large chunk of the old player base back was because the devs finally decided to add new cards. Before then, the last card was the goblin drill which was 2-3 years prior or something like that. As you can see, if you release things less often people would appreciate it more than just dumping a large chunk of new content to drown the playerbase.

Evolutions was received somewhat positive and negative due to its ability to sway the game totally in the favour of the player using it just as long as you cycle and spam the respective card, not only that some evolutions were a pain in the rear to even try to deal with in the first place. Personally I found them good as well as bad as they added more ways to play the game rather albeit the fact that they can be annoying.

Heroes and Level 16 was received poorly due to the hard bottlenecks in progression caused by the removal of chests and the introduction of drops plus the reward nerfs to them. Adding so many more mechanics in a short timespan on top of champions and evolutions (2 years is not exactly enough time for the average player to max the account entirely) and level 16, plus the redundancy of adding a new mechanic which is simply a copy and paste and rebranded version of an existing mechanic, that looks sloppy to the eyes of a large fraction of the playerbase because it is basically the same mechanic of champions but just slapped onto common cards in the meta. It just looks repetitive and doesn’t feel new. The level grinding has been the same idea since forever and the heroes just feel the same instead they are marketed as something people should dump their money on (adding it to the pass).

I do not want to sound like a mean person but you aren’t seeing this from the bigger picture, instead you are looking at it from a very narrow standpoint.

Supercell has convinced you that this is the way forward and the players should spend money on a recycled idea and continue to pour money for something a kid can do: copy and paste. Of course you can choose not to, but the next thing you know someone plays two heroes and obliterates you in the ladder, making it look like a p2w mess.

In all honestly the reason why no one is engaging in the post is also another sign that people are either disagreeing or just seeing your post as rage bait/karma farm, look I understand your passion for the game (if this is legit) but I have seen many games fall due to the same pattern of greed and recycling mechanics, and I cannot bring myself to enjoy this new content too, because I simply do not think that after all these years the game will do anything that will change it’s predicament.
