Okay guys so finally the Clash Royale September Update is here! The update is going to be released next a few hours!
Clash Royale was extremely popular after the global release in March 2016. I hate to say this, but since the last few updates, the excitement has been fading. Lots of players have been saying that the game is dying. Luckily, Supercell have been working hard on some big plans to fix the game since couples of weeks ago: August 24th update for game balance changes and August 28th Update to fix the trophy system in game. Some other big ones are coming soon!

My thoughts a few weeks before the update revealed
A big update to Tournaments and cheaters (wintraders) will be released in September. Tournaments are a stunning idea from Supercell but currently they are fully of cheaters (wintraders) which can easily win every single game. Also, the smallest Tournament costs $5 to start, which is too much for most players, making it hard to find a decent Tournament to join these days. I read a great idea couples of days ago on the forum, which said Supercell should allow players to host Tournaments with Gold because basically can be bought with Gem. Hopefully Supercell would pay attention at this great idea. Also, in my humble opinion, Tournaments should cost a minimum of $1 to start.
Supercell said they would make Legendary cards much easier to obtain. I don’t really believe this until I see it because Legendary cards are their cash-cow. A change will be surely made, but not really big.
Tim[Supercell], one of the main Supercell employees confirmed on the forum that there would be a big change coming to the Training Camp. At the moment, AI is so bad as you can win any battle against AI without even thinking. Training Camp is made for players to test their decks and skills but hands down it is totally useless now. Hopefully Supercell will improve the AI in game much better!
Hands down Clash Royale is one of the most addicting and most popular mobiles games these days. Although the competitive nature of the game makes it both good and bad, but some big changes need to be made. Having that said, here are some big changes which will hopefully be in the upcoming September update from Supercell. Recently Supercell confirmed that there would be some major changes coming soon in Clash Royale in mid September. Till now, some of them have been revealed. Let’s take a closer look at the bigi upcoming Clash Royale September Update guys!
Normally, Superecell release at least one big update each for the game every month, adding new troops and features. The most awesome feature is the Tournament mode, unfortunately it is totally broken ’cause it costs too much money for casual players to host one. Its huge potential can’t be fully used at the moment.
Heading into the game, after playing couples of weeks, players will find it pretty hard to upgrade cards due to the Gold costs, unless players spend at least dozens of bucks.
Another problem is, in Clash Royale, using Legendary cards can help you win the battles much easier due to the huge advantages they offer. Tons of players have spent hundreds of Dollars to get Legendary cards. You will find it extremely hard (or nearly impossible) to get a Legendary unless you are super lucky. This is a free-to-play game but many players have been thinking about it as a pay-to-win game because of those Legendary cards. Luckily, in the last update, Supercell released a great balance change update to nerf lots of Legendary cards, making them much weaker than before. This is something the community wanting for months.
Anyway, long story short, Clash Royale takes strategy and skill to win. A small mistake can ruin the whole battle. You can’t win the game If you are not good enough. If you are skillful enough to get into the Legendary Arena, you can easily get Legendary cards from Shop in game by spending 40k Gold for each. If you are a free-to-play player, no worries about this amount of Gold, you can easily save up by donating cards for your friends and getting the daily Gold bonus.
