Strategic Rushing with CallMeTee

This week we’re talking about whether Clash of Clans’ A/B testing of progression is actually fair, what Supercell may be trying to learn from different upgrade times, and whether anyone is meaningfully advantaged by it. We also look at when CWL promotion rates might return to normal, whether Champs should eventually support 30v30, possible CWL modifier changes, and the return of the WWE collaboration.We also get into event ticket RNG, whether the WWE event still feels fresh, and the question of whether some of the WWE skins cross the line into pay-to-win.Giveaway Entry Link - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4vbQGw80CiOf2zX03tNpG5xCwvd7kdYsrbz2_8715k8XDHg/viewform?usp=publish-editor Timestamps:(00:00) Intro and Giveaway Info(00:45) Is A/B Testing Progression Fair?(14:05) When Will CWL Promotion Rates Revert?(16:45) Should Champs Open for 30v30?(22:57) CWL Modifier Changes(28:06) Locking an Event Ticket Behind RNG(33:18) Is WWE's Return Fresh or Stale?(38:55) Are WWE Skins P2W?(43:53) Listener Questions and ShoutoutsYou can support us by using creator codes coolrick and spencer for your in-game purchases in any Supercell game or platform.About the Podcast: Reddit Talks Clash is a Clash of Clans podcast hosted by Spencer, Rick, and other mods of r/ClashOfClans.
