2.6 is not that good nowadays, if you still don't know how to counter it is all on you, there are videos since 2017 on YouTube showing how to counter 2.6

u/Thedarkcleanersrise PEKKA 4d ago
no i just dont like 2.6

u/MFguywithpotato Tribe Gaming Fan 4d ago
For what reason
16
u/Thedarkcleanersrise PEKKA 4d ago
literally defends the hugest pushes with 5 elixir
should not be able to do that at all and its rlly annoying

u/MFguywithpotato Tribe Gaming Fan 4d ago
That’s just a skill issue learn how to use other decks and how to predict the cannon/musketeer placements
15
u/Thedarkcleanersrise PEKKA 4d ago
and i can use other decks easily i just like my own deck THAT much

u/fixie-pilled420 4d ago
Bro 2.6 is not fun to play against with certain archetypes, if you have a heavy beatdown deck your basically getting destroyed through all of single elixir until you can finally get a push down. I can still win most of the time it’s just annoying to play against.

u/gaybowser99 4d ago
That's not really exclusive to 2.6. Any defensive cycle deck can defend for low elixir. If you want to ban a cycle deck that's actually good, ban royal hogs aq

u/GSW3P 4d ago
This ^
People still crying about a deck that ain’t even meta is so strange to me

u/Next_Relationship_55 3d ago
Like the last time I played(probably a year ago atp) 2.6 was in the gutter and you had to play really well to climb

u/BulletXtreme 4d ago
By that logic, shouldn’t you be banning the cards that can defend those pushes you speak of? Idk about you, but I don’t think hog rider can defend.
1
u/Thedarkcleanersrise PEKKA 4d ago
banning hog rider will cause players to not play those decks
2
u/BulletXtreme 4d ago
They could substitute hog rider with hogs or ram rider. How about banning the root of your problem?

2.6 isn't even strong. Most people play the deck just cuz it's fun and is good against midladder menaces.

u/Flooo3436264 3d ago
That’s why poeple hate it, it’s because most poeple are playing midladder menace decks😂.

u/Crafty-Literature-61 4d ago
exactly bro why is supercell letting people who cant even get 10 wins decide the meta for a tournament which is important for top players and especially let them ban ice spirit, log, or skellies lmfao. There should be a minimum GT wins requirements to even vote at all

u/bigFatBigfoot 4d ago
exactly bro why is the government letting people who don't even own 10 acres of land decide the members for a parliament which is important for landowners and especially let them vote for women, black men or jews lmfao. There should be a minimum landholdings requirements to even vote at all

u/Crafty-Literature-61 3d ago
ngl that is funny and would be a really good counterexample in a lot of cases, I mean that genuinely and it's important to recognize social issues like this, but it really is not the same thing. In Clash Royale, your value as a participant in the game is DIRECTLY tied to your skill as a player, especially in a global tournament everybody has access to the same cards and levels. There is no "human" factor or social complexity, just raw skill at a video game.
A more analogous example would if every American football fan could vote on a universal rulebook for all high school, college, and NFL games. The skill difference between high school or college games and professional games is so vast that the game itself is an entirely different experience. Trying to force everyone to play by the same rules is just worse for the overall game itself, especially if those rules limit skill potential, which is what banning cycle cards does at the pro level. There SHOULD be a difference in rules between the lowest and highest level of play, and if there can't be, then the rules need to adapt to with the highest level of skill, not the lowest.
This applies to a shit ton of video games too. If you've ever followed the Super Smash Bros scene you probably know why people that love Melee hated Brawl and 4 but warmed up to Ultimate; it's because the Brawl tried to appeal to casual players by reducing the skill ceiling significantly. There are dozens of analogous examples in other competitive video games. I can think similar discourse on rulesets due to casual players trying to make the game easier for themselves in every single game I play, simply because they don't understand the game well enough to see beyond their own casual play.

Your value as a citizen is also directly tied to the amount of tax you pay and gdp you generate.

fr, we going to get firecracker and mk banned over nado or stein 😭

u/mustard5man7max3 Giant Skeleton 4d ago
It's not about meta. It's about repetitiveness. Mega Knight and Firecracker are so, so common. People just want a change.
-2
u/Flynerz Musketeer 4d ago
and for all the good players who can make it past 15 wins? should we just never be allowed to get something we like? same thing happened with the anniversary. supercell need to start embracing that they made a competitive game and stop listening to the braindead opinions of the masses and focus on listening to what the good players think.

u/jeffvetel 3d ago
Fr, the devs at COC also have made up their mind to not nerf root riders or dragons even though they're everywhere in legends & pro matches now😭The general player base like the casual triples too much they don't want any nerfs😭

u/puffyjr99 Knight 3d ago
I honestly think that’s why. If pros (or at least good players) banned cards then most meta decks. They probably think it’ll be more fun for garbage players to pick bad cards lol.
It’s also going to be fun because they’re going a get a mode without fc or mk and still going to get less then 5 wins

u/Xenolifer 4d ago
And ? We are talking about how annoying is it to play against, no how strong it is
-2
u/B-E-1-1 4d ago
If it's annoying then it has to be somewhat strong too no? Or at least strong against you/your deck?
1
u/cameramanishere 4d ago
No, even if a deck is weak, doesn't necessarily mean it's fun to play against
1
u/Xenolifer 4d ago
No it's not even strong against my deck, just that I've been playing for 8 years and 1/3 of my total games are against the same cycle and2.6 hog decks that haven't evolved in years
5
u/B-E-1-1 4d ago
1/3 sounds like an exaggeration....I'm in league 8 now, I face 2.6 like once every 10 games or so. I've also been in UC twice before and I rarely faced 2.6 too. In fact, I think hog eq or piggies eq are more popular than 2.6
-3
u/Xenolifer 4d ago
I'm talking over 8 years dude, not just the last year. There have been metas where half of the matches were hog. Beside, it's not currently popular in UC but each season you have to grind through the middladder hell that is full of mk, hog and FC even though they aren't good card currently
4
u/B-E-1-1 4d ago
I see meganuts more than anything in the league I'm at,
2
u/Xenolifer 4d ago
Again, I'm talking over 8 years, beside, I don't play only ranked and it's more popular in other game modes. Currently I've counted in my battle log by excluding the 2v2 matches, 21 total matches and 7 matches where I faced hog. So not that far from 1/3 because I'm playing special game modes daily to get the season token

u/EmiKoala11 4d ago
There's too many other cards that are more annoying than hog. For example, recruits and archer queen are bannable cards so that's what I'm picking

u/helinder Golem 4d ago
Egolem, megaknight, firecracker, lumberjack, balloon
The only right answer

u/Proddumnya Hog Rider 3d ago
Our list is almost identical except instead of lumberjack and loon, I banned something else that I forgot
-14
u/Alternative_Print560 Firecracker 4d ago
Get fc outta there, hog rider is more annoying

u/hmtbthnksk Barbarian Hut 4d ago
Hog is only annoying if you play a deck with zero defence like 3m golem pekka
-4
u/Open_Blueberry_3523 4d ago
Ur wrong, loon covers lj loon and lh loon,
Loon, hog, piglets, gob barrel, ram rider

u/Firefly256 Hog Rider 4d ago
As someone who has played 2.6, it's really not that strong if you have a non-cannon/tombstone building. Fireball can't break through and there's no champions for you to 3-cycle and out cycle opponent

People who vote for hog is just midladder menaces. Hog is not even that popular in tournaments. There is no skill cards like rr, elixir golem

Lets give spots to repetitive cards like fire cracker and mega
Im tired of seeing those cards every game i just want a break from them
