Clash Royale

Top 10 games you should NEVER play. The fun casual mode is nothing but bots, and the trophy road is full of nothing but overleved cards and less than human creatures. That and the never ending in app purchases make this game a cess pool of trash. This is extremely sad, because in a vaccum, the gameplay WOULD be top 10! Quite possibly one of the biggest examples of wasted potential on the internet; up there with everything Rovio did.

Guys, I totally love this game. But if you enjoy playing it and you're any good, you quickly rise to a rank where you're playing people who just have significantly more leveled up troops than you. This makes it almost impossible to win. Also, some units are so overpowered that you end up facing them every time. When those units are also leveled up, it becomes a grind of playing against people who employ no strategy other than to drop the leveled up heavy units, you can go back. It's frustrating.

Your mystery box drop rates are completely unacceptable. Why is gold even an option? Before introducing these, frankly deceptive, boxes, I would've been able to upgrade cards to level 14 completely through consistency. Now I play every day but get next to nothing in terms of cards, and especially Wild Cards. Which, by the way, are phenomenally rare. Not just large amounts of Wild Cards, ANY wild cards at all. More often than not, a 3 star box will give GOLD. I have a million. I do not need more.

Have played for years and have enjoyed it until they introduced the 'hero' cards. Though these new cards do give the game a needed variety, they are very overpowered if not countered by other 'hero' cards. This wouldn't be a problem, if they weren't hidden behind a pay wall. Over the years, I have paid more for this game than a real console game, yet this system essentially required continuous payments to remain competitive. It's great if you like being dominated alot...

Let me start by saying I have been playing this game (somewhat on and off) for the last 6-8 years (not quite sure). The game has devolved so poorly into pay-to-win mechanics that you are almost physically unable to progress through the games "ranked" mode (ladder) without purchasing cards from the shop. My average card level is roughly 13, which a few years ago used to be amazing. Now, it's terrible. With the addition to placing max level caps at level 16 (and everything else), ThisGameSucksNow!
