What's the WORST Balance Change in Clash Royale History?

Its easy to blame Supercell for bad balance changes, since there's such a big audience to impress. But sometimes, its hard to defend Clash Royale when they make appalling decisions in terms of balancing cards. But have you ever wondered what is the worst balance change in Clash Royale history? In this video, I hope to truly answer that question to find out truly what is the worst buff/nerf a card has ever received in Clash Royale history.

Just a couple things to note:

1. I have made a mistake with the executioner, it was so complex that I fumbled! Below are the corrections that I need to make:
A: at 12:52 I made a mistake with the range buff. It was only his initial range that was increased by 1 tile. His axe range was unchanged.
B: this aforementioned range buff actually made the card pretty strong. I severely underestimated how strong the executioner would be following this buff. Since I didn't mention how strong it was after this buff its a good idea that I mention it now. But since it still depended on tornado it wasn't completely gamebreaking. Sorry if I called executioner terrible tho lol.
C: 13:23 was first attack time interval not attack time interval

In Grand Challenges, the Witch's win rate during November of 2019 was 9%, the lowest a card ever had. This alone says how horrible that specific balance change really was.

great video. I remember that 2019 had a lot of questionable balance, a strange time...

I think supercel killed the witch because they wanted to soft remove her before buffing her later

Heal spell went from 0% usage rate to 0% usage rate omggg

maybe don't use this annoying pop sound so much...

[modestlatios]

The worst balance change was adding evolutions to the game

[pigmacpig]

[natsuki]

These popping sounds are braaking my brain

I remember the EBarb buffs very well.
In fact, I quit the game over them. It was such a boring and repetitive experience, pretty much just felt like you had two options:
1. play EBarbs
2. lose to someone else playing EBarbs
They were way too overpowered for way too long.

I got back into playing the game a little this year, but to this day when I see someone play EBarbs I get PTSD from those times and can physically feel my motivation for playing the game drop.

Royal recruits from 6 to 8 elixer is a top 3 pick for me

It has to be the executioner rework for me where they made his range like a melee card. Wtf were they thinking?

Sorry if the audio quality or editing is bad, I had to edit this on my laptop since I've been on the move rn! Got way more videos coming out so sub if u enjoyed since this took agggeessss. Also, I'm thinking of changing the thumbnail, lmk if I should or nah

[galliumn]

in my opinion the change with mirror increasing levels by 2 should be up there. The whole time the mirror was in this state, double e-giant, phoenix cycle(when it first came out), and earthquake cycle were ridiculous to fight against, as there was no counterplay against them. Just running mirror in any deck archetype during that time would usually just make your deck better by default.

Definitely the witch buff that gave it +220% damage

[gavinaaric]

The ones right now nerfing Barb Barrel and Bowler while not even nerfing Log and Executioner which don’t even need nerfs and to most people are better options. they are just nerfing them just be so the little prince would still get buffed

[danever]

You over use 1 sound effect I'm your editing and you got to many visuals on screen for to little time to read them or take them in much.

[Plexplay]

Sorry, the popping sound is making this unbearable

[Tatnotsusgiri]

you make good videos despite your small channel I hope you get big some day🙏
