@diegocosta493 27 дней назад

I used to hate it when it was released because it felt too strong with giant (I remember the meta being giant poison) and it even could survive a Fire Ball. They nerfed MM after that and since then it feels a pretty balanced card

@blackheart4360 26 дней назад

I miss those good Ole days. Giant pushes. Not just random non skilled random 1 hit hog (who still needs to be 5 elixir) cycles for 6 years straight. nowadays everyone just plays firecracker. Who also needs to be either 4 elixir or die by log. Lastly, atleast during those days. We had draws. Which still I don't understand why they removed a whole deck arch type (draw heavy decks) to please those non skilled players.

@gamersreactions9267 26 дней назад

@@blackheart4360 i agree with most of your comment, but hog is decently fair if firecracker would be balances. And draws were not a good thing. When i was actually tryharding i played xbow and either won, or played to a draw. Losses were so rare if you piloted the deck correctly

@Crispy_DAWG 26 дней назад

@blackheart4360 26 дней назад

@blackironwalterkus3851 you can kite with a giant. Also it's 5 elixir. Which is balanced. Hog rider gets a free random hit at start per game for 4. That's not balanced. once tiebreaker became a thing hog rider became worse to see.

@gastonEGGS 26 дней назад

It's always interesting to listen to how any change to a game with troop interactions domino's its way to affecting every other card in the game. I think that the sentiment about the mega minion is just as you described, unhated and balanced. Always look forward to new videos, as they make great background noise for while I'm playing clash royale.

@sk_555 26 дней назад

I personally always enjoyed using the Mega Minion, it feels extremely fun to use and acts as a very solid single-target high DPS air card. I'd say at some points in time, it could've been considered the most balanced card in the entire game. Sadly it's overshadowed by many other cards at this point and doesn't see too much use rate (mainly just Little Prince honestly), but I'll always love it!

Can you do a video about masteries? To me, it appears like supercell wants us to forget about them. They haven’t added tier 3 masteries to most troops, and in the past year they’ve nerfed rewards, taken away post-game stats and recently taken masteries out of the cards menu. Now the only way to see mastery progress is by the mastery button in the deck builder or in the troop badges, both of which aren’t sortable and thus, difficult to navigate.

I am a consistent UC 2000~ medal player (definently not a "Top player") and i think that splashyard is not broken but its annoying cuz of the randomized behaviour of graveyard. Sometimes even if you poison it it will get like 5-6 shots which roughly means 650 damage. Miner and drill is considered to be annoying for the same reason.

@gerardoledezma4126 26 дней назад

Mega Minions is my favorite for how perfectly it does what it’s meant to, while also looking pretty cool. Deserves a buff tho, preferably to a melee instead of its range, especially considering that there’s melee troops (Pekka, Prince) that have longer range. This would at least allow it to work against Monk and Evo Knight

@stevendemel5869 24 дня назад

Rework idea: Make the mega minion have two attacks and split the damage evenly between them. It would make the better at countering swarm and it wouldn't kill itself when against Monk. Maybe make the spit do damage and make the throw a slap. This might help it stand out a bit more and maybe compete with the pheonix a bit more.
