Personally aside from the server issues, I know that one big reason why the game is bleeding players is because of veterans 5 stacking into pubs. Get stomped too much when playing solo or even duos makes me not want to play. It stops being fun very quickly for anyone who just wanted to play and I really wish more veteran players would bear that in mind when they play together because if they are going ham on players still learning the game then it's like being punished for wanting to play. And that's coming from someone who knows how to play clash. Players who have no clue are no doubt getting frustrated and bailing, probably shit-talking the game on their way out because they can't get a refund at that stage and from there you have people not wanting to touch the game because of the negative reviews. Sorry for the rant. Just sick of this shit happening to games I like.
