Work-in-progress Balance Changes for October 2023 (Season 52)
These changes are not final — the balance team will take your feedback and decide on a finalized version.
balance wip
Work-in-progress balance changes are here! Supercell is interested in hearing what you think about these changes before finalizing them.
For this season, Supercell is changing it up a bit. Instead of asking players to leave disparate comments on social media, they would like you to pick your favorite 10 from a collection of 23 possible changes. After tallying the votes from all the creators, they will then pick 10 from of those to implement into the final changes.
There are lots of options here, and we will go through them one by one. We’ll link you to the poll hosted on our discussion forum at the end of the post.
