Seth on the current state of Clash Royale following the announcement of the December update.

Seth gives interview on the state of Clash Royale

00:00 - 00:05 Last week, I told the CR team that we had a lot of problems to fix.

00:05 - 00:07 Witch and executioner need to be rebalanced.

00:07 - 00:10 So we did that...and then we wanted to spice up the game.

00:11 - 00:16 We put up a sudden death global tournament and made the rewards cheaper.

00:17 - 00:21 We accidentally ended it a day early!

00:21 - 00:24 Jesus!

00:29 - 00:31 Jesus!

00:31 - 00:34 Thousands of players missed out on a legendary chest!

00:38 - 00:40 Jesus!

00:41 - 00:47 A bunch of people on Reddit were complaining that they missed out on the rewards,

00:47 - 00:50 and instead of starting the tournament up again,

00:50 - 00:56 we just gave everyone three golden chests!

00:58 - 00:59 All those angry Redditors will

00:59 - 01:01 still play the game ten hours a day!

01:04 - 01:06 We're still making millions

01:06 - 01:08 because everyone is addicted!

01:13 - 01:14 But it gets better.

01:14 - 01:16 We just made all games five minutes long,

01:16 - 01:20 and triple elixir is in regular battles!

01:21 - 01:27 Imagine the chaos in CRL World Finals 2v2!

01:35 - 01:36 The pros will just

01:36 - 01:39 be spamming random cards!

01:41 - 01:44 No, but seriously, we expect this to make

01:44 - 01:47 the game more exciting and dynamic

01:47 - 01:49 and increase the skill cap of the game.

01:50 - 01:53 We added quintuple elixir to ramp up!

01:54 - 01:56 At the last minute,

01:56 - 01:58 the cards won't even be able to load

01:58 - 02:02 fast enough in cycle decks.

02:05 - 02:07 Just imagine how crazy games will be.

02:10 - 02:11 In quintuple elixir,

02:11 - 02:13 In quintuple elixir,

02:15 - 02:17 people will bridge spam with golem,

02:17 - 02:20 and x-bow plays will piss themselves!

02:21 - 02:28 And as if it could get any worse for 2.9, arrows will kill archers

02:29 - 02:30 At the same level?

02:30 - 02:32 At the same level.

02:36 - 02:39 Meanwhile, 20 cards are sitting at 1% usage in GCs!

02:40 - 02:42 We've just given up on them at this point.

02:50 - 02:55 Don't expect them to be balanced any time soon.

02:56 - 02:58 Can you tell me about the new card?

02:58 - 03:04 We have received a lot of requests for a healing support card,

03:04 - 03:09 and we decided to give it a try because

03:09 - 03:11 Clash of Clans already has a healer.

03:16 - 03:20 The healer attacks with a sword!

03:23 - 03:26 This meta should be interesting.
