I am done. This game is awful now.

Not making money so not updating, fine, that's not a problem, people who like this game will still play it.

But letting some small circles—who just have time and are social enough, soaking in Discord—decide the game's balance is simply suicidal behavior.

Even though you still have an average of 300 people playing your game, your game balance is only decided by votes from over 10 random players.

After all, a game is a game. General players just want to play the game, but you think that those 500-1000 players are obligated to engage in your Discord socializing, otherwise they have to bear the bad game experience due to the stupid decisions of a few random players?

Well, it seems they are not even random players, but some players who think they are experienced and have the right to speak. But I doubt if they have ever reached the top 50 or gotten 12 consecutive wins in draft? (And it is super easy now.)

What I see on Discord are all extremely poor understandings of the game:

'An'kahesh is unplayable before'
Actually play the game please. Although he is unpopular, there are people using him, why not change those cards that are truly neglected?

'Use flying units to counter An'kahesh'
They don’t even know that most flying units have low attack power and high-frequency attacks, absolutely countered by Thick Hide.

'Use Blue Golem to counter An'kahesh'
Again, actually play the game please. Would anyone use An'kahesh to directly confront your Blue Golem? How do you deal with that pile of small spiders? Or do you want to send the Blue Golem over first for him to lay eggs?

'Let him hit your base'
Nonsense. This sentence applies to any minion, you might as well say surrendering is the best countermeasure.

Seeing these, I know that discussion is futile, it’s too hard to "convince" these bad players into good players. They need to play more and play the game better by themselves before they think they understand the game enough to decide the balance.

And not to mention the braindead Smite cost reduced, which allow it to extinguish middle mana aoe distanced minion(that are actually one of the things to due with An'kahesh) and earned mana benefit,

Yes, you can use spells to counter specificed minions in the game to earned mana, like using 5mana to extinguish some few 6-7mana minion.

But we should not allows a 4mana aoe with great versatility that destroy middle mana distanced minion and its nearby.

Those guys don't even understand how radical to decresed one mana, don't even understand the base logic of the game- you can saved one cost for heavier card.

Even if you can correct one mistake, there will still be the next mistake, because the people deciding are these same people, and you have to spend a month in a bad game environment to correct it.

The truly feasible approach is to recruit a few people who truly understand the game to discuss balance; if you failed to recruit them, then just make minor adjustments based on data.

Instead of relying on monkey democracy to make drastic changes.

It's a Clash Royale for pc. I hate it.
The only reason that I came back to this is to get my remaining achievements.

A sad fan. This is what's wrong with gaming today. Great game here! Yet after all of the years it's been out and it still has bugs. Crashes probably at least once a hour and just lacks simply TLC. NO NOT DLC! The biggest problem though and I mean BIGGEST! The dev's gave up on the game and even want us to follow them to the next rug pull! Crazy world out there man! Anyway game's pretty much dead now since their announcement.
