Original Post — Direct link

So, a new balance will arrive, I guess on Monday the 3rd of June.

We'll have some announce on Friday, nothing before, nothing to let us an opportunity to take part in this game evolution.

We'll be disappointed by some changes and non-changes, and we won't have any communication on non-changes.

We should have an update in June also ? Who knows, again why would we have any communication before.

My point is.... No I don't have any point actually. I'll wait and be obedient, which is my only option.

you're right, the balance update will drop on monday 3rd june. and the announcement will come on this friday! i'm excited/scared...

we do take community input into balance changes, but it is not the only factor. (we even had 2 polls on balance changes before that we didn't feel was the right choice to continue with)
seth wrote a post here that goes more in-depth if you want to know exactly how we do balance change playtesting.

and here is a video that also goes in-depth on how we balance cards (with subtitles for most languages)

we will communicate when we are having an update, but again, on our own terms and when we feel it is right.

i know how it feels when a game i love doesn't communicate much and then drops a surprise update on you instead of giving teasers or sneak peeks (looking at you apex legends battle pass) but i understand why they do it, and i respect their decisions to do so also.

in light of the above information i would love to know what you'd like to hear more of? community feedback matters and if we're doing a bad job it'd be good to get some constructive feedback on what we could change.

thanks!

Thank you for this response. I am not the original poster but what I would love to hear is the main thing the team is working on for the next update. My favorite period in Clash Royale was I think December 2017 until April 2018, and not because the Clan War update got delayed a lot, what the community got of course pretty angry about, but because we knew the team was working on Clan Wars. So everyone was making expectations about how Clan Wars could look and that was on Reddit just an amazing time. That update didn't even have a lot of sneak peeks like the December 2017 update but it was still cool so sneak peeks are definitely not the most important thing for an update but at least knowing what you are working on could really help building hype up.

Thank you for reading!

thank you for the feedback! i will take that on board. much appreciated
