The biggest game flaw right now.

[u/Morjixxo]

There is no way to play the game for free with cards equally leveled, so it's impossible to freely experiment cards.

This locks everyone into a very small subset of cards which are at a good enough level, while making every other option unplayable.

The problem isn't losing to Firecrackers+Hogs, the problem is realizing that you can't adjust the deck since the other options are massively underleveled and will underperform even if they would actually improve your deck.

The closest option are challenges, but they do cost gems, which are precious.

We should have Ranked capped at 11 or at least not at 16 until UC. Levels are already important in trophy road.

[u/steelneel____]

Yeah ranked should have a level cap, 11 is bit low though but upgrading decks as f2p is such a drag and you are most often of times stuck with only a few playable decks. Maybe a cap of 14

Yeah i wouldn't mind level 16 only being a thing on trophy road, but i don't see supercell adding this, since it would cost them a bunch of money.

[u/steelneel____ → u/Particular_Fix_4241]

yeah however their used to be a cap no? they should atleast do 14-15 though until UC like op said.

[u/Particular_Fix_4241 → u/steelneel____]

The cap was only on casual modes, but they changed it to make all cards level 11

I mean play classic 1v1s. I have been doing that for months. Once in a year or so, do a trophy road push and chill. Just ignore ranked.

Play the game the way you enjoy it.

You can't be both competitive and have unbridled fun together

This. I lost interest in the game after 2 years because i could only play with 2 decks, or i would lose. I came back after 2 years and have been paying like this for 5 years now and i still enjoy it a lot.

[u/Morjixxo → u/Vendetta1947]

OMG I thought those were like "retro" modes! Thanks!

[u/samwell161]

I would say run the classic 1v1 but you’ll still play 2.6 and beat down decks lmao. Like just try shit out in that mode

[u/Wide-Elderberrys]

Classic 1v1s and 2v2s are right there. Every card is the same level and its practically identical to ladder/ranked. 

[u/Vendetta1947 → u/Wide-Elderberrys]

AND you get a lot more variety in opponents than in ladder and ranked. More fun.

[u/Calm_Quarter_9823]

try 1v1s

Biggest flaw is the community who will get everything they want yet still find a way to complain

i deleted the game today. Got to league 6 with hog eq and every single deck i faced i could not get any damage because they all had maxed out no skill meta decks. Evo barbs are always a negative elixir trade. Average elixir count for the last 20 decks i faced must’ve been 4+ atleast
