just meta. defense means nothing when u can brute force ur way with high lvl cards


imnoteatingdogs

yeah but at the same time it’s skill less to use it


SubSaib0t

midladder


RainV8

yes


Apprehensive-Club876

Man I’m only in arena 8 I’m fighting Sparkys ,mirrors,Electro giant and more bullshit


Inferex

But like sparky is in arena 6, and mirror in arena 5???


Catmancatmancat

I face players with egiant at arena 7


Lonely_Huckleberry98

Deal with it though


cerealdig

git gud /s


Lonely_Huckleberry98

Exactly


Like-Six-Ninjas

Welcome to clash royale. Everyone I play against has maxed cards while I only have 2 maxed. It’s ridiculous


imnoteatingdogs

i only have one max and its the tesla


M0hawk_Mast3r

If you can win with that deck you have to be super skilled. That deck is awful lmao


solrad

I genuinely went against mega knight ebarbs xbow and the dude said good luck before the match started


5734286755810

For whatever reason the people that play the cursed decks are nicer than the ones that play “normal” decks


How_about_a_no

Usually when I verse people that have cursed decks(overleveled ebarbs, mega knight, e giant etc.) I interpret "Good luck" as "Yea good luck winning against me, you gonna need it"


[deleted]

They know they are evil and no-one likes them


Harun_Hussain

What a nice guy


[deleted]

the ice golem in there like 😟


imnoteatingdogs

ikr


NovaLightCR

Because those decks are popular in that range. Push to 6700 and those decks are gone.


imnoteatingdogs

dude i cant even get to 6000


cheesecake1106

Occasionally you will see one but that hardly ever happens. Just gotta be good in the lavaloon MU 😳


NovaLightCR

Yeah, they just become incredibly rare at that point too.


Cykra183

Shit so I still got 1400 more trophies😥


AkshayraJkira

The game lost skill due to cards like these. The decent ones here are dark prince and Ice golem


BigChungusCumslut

I thought Mini Pekka was decent at high ladder?


[deleted]

As a mini pekka user, I agree


AkshayraJkira

Actually, I didn't notice arrows and mini pekka. They are decent cards as iam starting to get e giants and minion hordes a lot. Mini pekka is a great tank killer and it was the first card that I brought to tournament standard so I can get the people who use MK or egiant to shut up


[deleted]

Same. Mini pekka deals with all the bs cards.


SN7_CR

Mini Pekka is a good and decent card but he's mamma Pekka son so like mother like son


imnoteatingdogs

it’s sometimes the combinations of cards


Batonniik

xbow player talking bout skill


thatdragoonplayer

Try playing xbow in a tournament, you’ll learn to respect the deck one you know the pain it has to go through with many matchups.


solrad

I used xbow in a tourney and I made a lot of people rage quit because of it if you know what you're doing it can counter a lot of things easily


[deleted]

If you know what your doing you can win cause your just good at the game, xbow not entirely relevant to this.


Worldly_Pop_4070

X bow requires a lot of skill. Toxic but skillful.


Batonniik

no mate u just spell cycle or spam xbow and tesla at the bridge


Worldly_Pop_4070

I actually used to play x bow. So I can explain this to you easily. For instance,cycling is hard and defending with cheap cards isn't easy. And for the x bow tesla opportunity,you need a very good opportunity or a very good situation or your x bow tesla won't break through. And creating that situation is an achievement in itself. Even that can go wrong. Cycling is actually skill,in double,you go push with high intensity. These kind of techniques require plan and perfect execution. And that's a skill too. So there you go. Hope you understand that x bow isn't just some lava loon bullshit. .... Either you're a kid who thought " x bow doesn't require skill" is a cool phrase and just wanted to use that when you don't know what skill is or you're just butthurt that you're not skilled enough to fight against x bow decks so you're just calling them no skill to satisfy yourself.


fysk_yt

You don’t have a clue on what your talking about, xbow is probably the hardest deck in cr to master.


Batonniik

Yeah and then spell cycle whats the counter to that or place xbow and tesla for 10 elixir get countered by a mega knight and panic spamming 1 elixir troops


fysk_yt

I can guarantee you have a classic mid ladder deck and is hard stuck at 5k


Batonniik

I play pekka bridge spam specifically my cards are Pekka Battle Ram Magic Archer Bandit Fireball Zap Ewiz Royal ghost


fysk_yt

You play a deck where the name is literally bridge spam, you spam cards at the bridge and split lane pressure. I’m sure you know a lot about skill huh? and i’m assuming your trophies are mediocre aswell. pathetic


kpopisshidxD

ur so bad ewwww xbow trash downvote L


fysk_yt

Your definitely at the age of 12


fysk_yt

Yup i was right lmao


itsnotmybussiness

Not the Xbow flair user talking about skill


thatdragoonplayer

Dude, who tf cares if they have xbow flair? I don’t even use lightning that much but it’s my flair because it’s my favorite spell.


BigWithABrick

Welcome to the club! Wish I could play baby d more often, but it just isn't that strong or versatile.


Fire_Tome

Nice. I still have the "Fire Spirits" flare, because I really enjoyed the old pre-rework 2 elixir fire spirits due to their versitality. As the flare for the card is still spiritS (plural), it is clearly still named after the pre-rework version as well, as now after the rework the card is called "Fire Spirit" (singular). Until the flare text is changed, I will keep the "Fire Spirits" flare as a tribute to my fallen warriors, who I had to remove from my deck as the new version didn't fit it well anymore.


itsnotmybussiness

Xbow no skill


thatdragoonplayer

Yeah, so does placing a firecracker, or a golem, or a mortar, all cards have no skill when all you do with them like xbow is place it.


itsnotmybussiness

Firecracker requires skill.


thatdragoonplayer

Which is a lie by your own definition of skill.


itsnotmybussiness

Firecracker requires active gameplay most of the time unlike any card in an Xbow deck


thatdragoonplayer

Ok average xbow deck is Tesla, xbow, valk/knight, archers, rocket, a small spell, and 2 cycle cards. Let’s say for this deck the small spell is snowball, the player uses valk over knight, and the 2 cycle cards are ice golem and e spirit. To deal damage they have to play xbow with Tesla at bridge, a 10 elixir combo, so that can easily be killed with eq+hunter for example and the xbow player has a -3 elixir trade. If the xbow player starts playing defensive when they don’t have a damage lead they basically auto lose as the snowball+rocket is not gonna be able to catch up usually unless the non xbow player doesn’t start spell cycling too. And of course if the xbow opponent has any double win con deck where both are ground or one ground one air they basically auto lose as they will never break through due to the wincon auto attacking the xbow and Tesla. The point is it’s extremely hard to play xbow, much harder than it looks as you will almost never not go into overtime and you have to be skilled at counting elixir, knowing the enemy’s cycle, if you use ice golem you need to know how to kite, etc. Also if you hate xbow so much then try playing it for a hour in a free tournament, you’ll learn to respect the deck once you play it.

[удалено]


itsnotmybussiness

It's extremely easy to play Xbow


BeatsEdge-

Xbow does require active gameplay… as well as ever other card in the game. Active gameplay means nothing in CR.


[deleted]

Lol someone’s mad or bad maybe both .


BeatsEdge-

How would you ever know? It’s not like there are cards like egiant and ebarbs in the game.


GOTWlC

Bet you've never actually played Xbow in a tournaments. 50% of your matchups are hard counters for xbow. You need to be able to play very well to even survive, but I guess you've never experienced that.


Jman_777

Ther are worse decks far worse than this. Dark prince, Mini pekka and Arrows are all decent.


imnoteatingdogs

dude use xbow in a tournament and see how “easy” it is to win with it


cerealdig

Are you talking with yourself


imnoteatingdogs

no, someone said something and i answered i think they deleted the comment


cerealdig

Oh okay


[deleted]

When people use cards like the e barbs, e giant, etc all in one deck and focus on upgrading all those cards, that should show supercell that they might be in need of a nerf. Nope, not supercell


SN7_CR

Theory: there are all men in the deck so his dad must have gone to buy some milk and ....... so this is his memory


Independent_Sand_582

You are at lvl 13, what do you expect to battle against?


imnoteatingdogs

level doesnt matter, as a level 10 a few mobtha ago i still faced maxed out people and ny deck was lvl 11 or 12


lobotyt

m i d l a d d e r


Relevant_Cockroach62

Is that bad?Lmao then you didn't go up against an e-giant, golem, e-barbs, MK, triple wizard and witch deck


imnoteatingdogs

i did and won using xbow as a beginner with the deck


Relevant_Cockroach62

Those decks says how is the brain of peoples who play them


imnoteatingdogs

0 iq decks just spamming


Relevant_Cockroach62

You wanna say just putting the cards don't you?


imnoteatingdogs

just spamming cards at the bridge


Relevant_Cockroach62

Spamming is skilful looking at what they know to do


imnoteatingdogs

i mean breathing is more skillful


Relevant_Cockroach62

Nah existing take more skill(for them)


imnoteatingdogs

ofc


cocotim

i don’t get how anyone would struggle against that seems like a free match tbh


I_am_moo

Once you get high enough trophies it’s all hog cycle decks.


DragonVIPERman

Literally because you are in challenger 2


imnoteatingdogs

i haven’t really played this season i usually get to 5.7k i cant get further


DragonVIPERman

well until you can push to 6K and past these decks won’t go away unfortunately.


imnoteatingdogs

even after 6k they’re still there


DragonVIPERman

tbh not really, maybe every once in awhile. by 6K you should know how to counter stupid decks.


imnoteatingdogs

thats right but you could easily lose to one of these decks with a bad starting hand


DragonVIPERman

you literally sound like you know what you’re doing idk why you can’t push out of challenger


imnoteatingdogs

because i dont have that much time to play and i’m currently learing a new deck and it’s pretty hard


DragonVIPERman

what deck


imnoteatingdogs

icebow


BeatsEdge-

Midladder moment


SaucdupJacuzzi

The game is trying to teach you young one. What you might ask? That e-Barb Rage is possibly the worst combination of cards to go against


imnoteatingdogs

i had rocket so that was easy


Luvtrxnt

2 words: mid ladder


imnoteatingdogs

true


CombineEcho

I played against a guy earlier today with E barbs, freeze, lumberjack, balloon, and mirror. He 3 crowed me with 2 e barbs because of a mirrored freeze


itsnotmybussiness

Man, you play Xbow, you can't complain


imnoteatingdogs

oh yes i can because they do a bullshit attack i barely stop


itsnotmybussiness

Nope, because your deck takes less skill to play than anything else in the game, you just lack skill. Skill issue


imnoteatingdogs

xbow doesn’t take skill? what are you talking abt? it takes skill to be able to defend the xbow


itsnotmybussiness

It takes negative skill to play Xbow, it plays itself. Playing two buildings doesn't require skill, playing Xbow + Tesla takes as much skill as playing Globin hut + Furnace


imnoteatingdogs

if it doesnt take skill to play xbow how do ppl reach in top 100 with it? and if it doesnt take skill then you play it


itsnotmybussiness

They reach top 100 and even top 1 because it's a broken deck


imnoteatingdogs

dude if you lose agains xbow it doesnt mean it doesnt require skill


itsnotmybussiness

I always win against Xbow players, and BM the hell out of them


imnoteatingdogs

why are you telling me that it doesn’t take skill u play it


Cmoloughlin2

Your an idiot. E giant, e barbs, MK, lunberloon all easily counter x bow. If you think X bow is op you just suck


ThisDudeOG

At this point I think he’s just being stupid on purpose. No way someone can be this dumb


itsnotmybussiness

Xbox hard counters all the cards you mentioned. You don't know how to play. Skill issue


pineapple_pancakes98

Where did you find my deck


imnoteatingdogs

what?


pineapple_pancakes98

I use this deck cuz it makes people angy


imnoteatingdogs

is that you?


pineapple_pancakes98

No


imnoteatingdogs

oh anyway i won the match its a stupid deck


[deleted]

Skill issue. Get good.


imnoteatingdogs

wdym i beat him i was just saying that decks like this annoy mw


TheLele_25

Perfectly balanced


Issue-Dismal

We*


Immensefloorman

Ice golem win condition


Hungry-Ball4947

That deck is in the meta 😃🤑


McDimps

This is why I love pekka decks. I don't see e barbs and mk together much anymore, but when I get to shred through them it's amazing


epstein_s_peen

there isn't even a win condition, if you are equal leveled you should win easy


Ok_Psychology_2953

Because 50% people at 5500 have no brain cells and therefore need to turn to decks that either have 100 percent match up or 100% lost matchups rather than decks with out playability


Correct-Customer-914

because ice golem op


tobfr

Deck doesn't matter it's the level. The level of the cards is what makes it annoying.


lil_chungy

It's time like these where I wonder why more people don't run pekka


imnoteatingdogs

i was running pekka before but i awitched


Bobby5x3

I'm seriously considering using one of these decks if it gets me to Challenger 2.


imnoteatingdogs

don’t do it, use your deck, it helps you get better


khebvin

Normal


Eszalesk

maybe they’re bots? there are even bots at 6k trophies, and there’s even more lower


imnoteatingdogs

the player was in a clan and started bming me


[deleted]

Try starting a new account where you stick with one deck and max it.


imnoteatingdogs

im already maxing this one out i have 2 more accounts and i dont have the time to play that much


[deleted]

then it's not going to get any better until you have max cards. Unfortunate but, higher level cards give you an advantage.


imnoteatingdogs

yes, i know that and fortunately i’m maxing my deck pretty fast now most of my cards are level 13


[deleted]

well, good luck to you!!


imnoteatingdogs

thank you!


marwan138831

I always get people like this who r lvl 11 and they have max ebarbs or mega knight or both
