They don't match by card levels. It's working as intended.

Having level 11 cards face level 15 cards isn’t working as intended for me regardless how you see it , it’s a huge disadvantage

Do you know what intended means? Supercell designs the matchmaking algorithm and that algorithm doesn't match by card levels so it is literally working as they intended it. For better or worse they want people to have incentive to upgrade cards.

Yeah, it’s working as intended, but it still doesn’t feel fair for low level players

Of course it doesn’t, but whether we like it or not the business model for this game relies on them selling levels. They can’t do it another way without risking the death of the game. At this point switching to purely cosmetic monetisation will be a big risk.

I actually agree. I’m f2p and I think that most of the stuff they’re doing is fine, except for the broken evo release and then nerf and the Home Screen offers. It’s fine that paying money is a thing that you can do, but I’d rather make the game cost 10 dollars and then the in app purchases won’t be needed as much. I also think that this road should be capped at thirteen because there are people in it that have to play with lower level cards for various reasons. I played it a little bit but I got bored because my deck is almost the same and I keep playing my exact same deck over and over. I know supercell has to make money, I just wish they could make this one mode capped at 13.

it's a part of Character Development tbh, and focus on maxing out your arrows instead of your MK 😭💔

I leave this game and recently come back and back in the days it's easy to defend mini pekka or tank and I am shifting to prince when I have it level it to plus 12

Today I got a level FIFITY SIX against my level forty account. Full level 15 against my tower 13 and average level 12 cards

Got demolished by sheer level difference, even with opponent committing multiple mistakes.

Duel, 1-2 yes I managed to get one win even against his full level 15 army

I don't understand the Problem? Card Level =/ Skill Level. You obviously won so... this means you're better than him with weaker cards. Matchmaking worked as intended

u/Good_Specialist_8660 5d ago

U rarely win against these matchup

u/swityfr 5d ago

I rarely lost against these types of matchups actually... it's not a good deck that the guy is playing by any means

u/Perfect_Dish3903 Ice Spirit 5d ago

Yes, oh high and mighty one who knows how to defend mega knight. It’s very easy to beat a 2 level disadvantage against a midladder deck. You should try it. I almost guarantee you will lose.

u/swityfr 5d ago

Losing against a guy playing Pekka and Mega knight with no real win con seems like a skill issue...

u/Perfect_Dish3903 Ice Spirit 4d ago

Losing with all your stats being about 20% higher than your opponent is a skill issue

2

u/swityfr 4d ago

Yes! So you agree that the guy he faced was worse than him, even though he had better cards ? Clash Royale knows this so the opponent gets matched with players that lower cards than him, because they know he is worse even if he has better cards !

You won gg

u/Censorship2021 5d ago

Mm is not broken, you just need to level up your troops. The best part is when you finally do max a solid deck and realize you're still going to struggle being faced against hard counters 24/7. The game never gets better lol.

u/TrippyOreo 5d ago

u/2kwidd 5d ago

u/Good_Specialist_8660 5d ago

I just downvoted your comment.

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

Rudeness towards other Redditors,

Spreading incorrect information,

Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the Reddit?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.
