Why The Log is so Good in Clash Royale

- Clash Royale's Log has been dominating the Clash Royale meta game with close to 40% use rates for several years, despite several nerfs. This video goes over how log has evolved in the meta over the years and how it's remained so powerful.

As a log lover, the idea of lumberjack cutting it but also being distracted by the log is something i really love and it's a sweet concept.
but people would play swarms behind the the lumberjack. Which is kinda problematic coz you wouldnt be able to play log
I would definitely be on board with that idea... it's interesting & makes sense mechanic wise... just like Ghost & Healer being a floating troop able to cross river & not affected by evo Rg's knockback
@@Tuh_qh90 zap, snowball or other spells maybe... idk
But yeah, log bait + lumber would be extremely good
as a log bait deck user the log has been one of the best defensive cards in recent history.
@@TheOfficialMrloggyyeah, i think the game lacks these kind of specific interactions, i would love to see a tesla triangle that spawns an electric wizard.
Imagine mother witch hitting an hog rider, but when it dies the pig that spawns has another pig riding him.
The log is like Landorus-T in competitive pokemon. It's not a bad thing that it's on every team, because it checks the actually broken threats and isn't frustrating to play against. It's essentially just the glue of the metagame
Tbh, that's small spells in general to me.
Except Lando-T didn't get special treatment from developers to keep it as the most used unit in the game lol. Other cards that compete with log get nerfed but precious Legendary card will never be touched more than once every few years
As a person that has played both games, this was the perfect way to compare. Both are very versatile and fit into many decks/teams for different/varied purposes, yet due to its sheer importance, removing either would result in a drastic effect, good or bad, to the metas of both games.
It's Tornado that's actually fundamentally broken (Would argue the best card in the entire game, but not many ready for that conversation)
@@muizminyou’re right
17:00 I love this phrasing so much.
"They(The Bats) were the only troop that died to the zap but not the log *at an equal level*"
If only the log could be leveled higher than the bats. That could give the Log the edge it needs to kill bats.
"Players did not like their precious wood being touched"
Yo I hate when my log does not one shot bats good thing there is level 15
I mean if they were "leveled higher" than the bats, it would kill them
_Longer spikes_
@@gravitysword2002Good joke. Amazing joke. Perhaps the best of all time. I’m only being somewhat sarcastic.
Me watching 45 minutes of log deployments
Nerf miner
I know right
Bro loves cr
37:52 “The log can never die” all spells don’t take damage 😂😂
@@q666cjdlgoblin drill
the log's legendary ability is to always be good
the exact opposite of the Night Witch, which relies on other cards to be good.
@@ryanamburgy2791We don’t talk about when that wasn’t the case
I cannot believe I sat and watched this full length video. I don’t even play this game.
same as miner
what is your pfp from
Haven't played Clash Royale in a very long while, but I still really enjoy your documentaries. You are able to make a 40 minute story about a card engaging even for someone like me who isn't in touch with the current state of the game, which is really impressive. Keep up the good work!
You like hearing his voice 😂 sus
“As history shows us, players did not like their precious wood being touched”💀💀💀
was about to comment that too XD
Crusher 21:🥵
“Crusher kids”
HES DAMN RIGHT
30:03
I don't understand. I don''t play this game anymore, I never dived too in-depth into the metrics of this game competitively, yet I will BINGE this 40 minute long video for some reason.
Your voice is hypnotic, I have no other explanation.
Thank you for making so many engaging videos!
My favorite part is how genuinely excited gratz gets over the notion of unique lumberjack/log interactions, and I wholeheartedly love the idea. Would be perfect for a valentine's day update too imo.
That was a terrible idea. It would literally change 1 interaction.
@@eternallife8898 Yeah and? It's fun, that's the main point
@@everettw.9610 Balance of the game is more important.
That shows how biased he is. Typical lumberloon freeze user
I would definitely be on board with that idea... it's interesting & makes sense mechanic wise... just like Ghost & Healer being a floating troop able to cross river & not affected by evo Rg's knockback
(And btw, lumberjack is like my top 5 LEAST fav legendary...I'm miner wb fanboy)
There was one very random nerf to The Log: sometime around 2021 (IIRC), they made it so that killing a Goblin Giant with it would not kill the Spear Goblins anymore, unlike what still happens to the Battle Ram to this day.
Bro’s the definition of ‘Quality then Quantity’
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.74ok I won’t mr bot 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@doggo4078 ik these bots are so annoying
Man i have a question about your sentence. I'm not a english native speaker and i've been still learning it. Can i also say "quality over quantity" other than the way you wrote it?
@@enricobersani830yes you can you are able to say it either way and it makes perfect sense either way
@@Sewergoosethank you man. I really appreciate it
Bro we have NEEDED a channel like yours.
I have watched every video you have made now, I recently rediscovered your channel and wanted to take a look into the past of clash royale, remembering when all of these changes took place gave me such nostalgia for better or worse.
yes
Just flag them
a good chunk of the video is about the barb. barrel and lumberjack
I mean log is the most popular card in the game, so theres a lot to talk about.
he needs mone
@@radekhornychnot wrong
I don’t play or watch clash royale anymore, but Gratz’s videos are unique and are worth watching, talking about the backstory of cards and other stuff is what makes Gratz’s content enjoyable and worth watching.
Adding onto the lumberjack idea, i think that whenever the executioner attacks cards like bandit and rascals, the entire match should pause when the bandit is at 1 shot range and a public execution with either a noose or a guillutine should be erected to spread fear amongst the populace and teach kids to not do the crime, if they dont wanna lose all the time they'd have if they were to not do the crime
Memes aside, immagine if Executioner did more damage to evil/criminal troops but less damage to good/lawful troops. And of course, instant kill to royal troops French style.
@gabrielperez8619 i feel like clash royale isn't made for these type of interactions and never was
@@luckylaniang5574 Could be a game mode tho
That's actually a good and hilarious idea
@@gabrielperez8619bro then it would one shot the princess and King towers that's too op it just needs to reach the towers once and you win the game
40 minutes!? This felt like 10
Great video man! And the lumberjack log change is such a good idea, I agree with your point that lumberjack doesn't feel legendary so this change would be amazing
Keep up the good work man!
Loving the content man, keep it up!
Thank you so much!
I remember playing this game back in high-school, your channel has been bringing me back so many memories I had playing this with my friends and how we raced to 3k trophies back when that was the legendary arena lol seriously keep making these videos man. On the topic of the log tho, it may be a simple card that doesn't do much on paper but it does enough. Clearing out fodder enemies is always a major important role and that half second it can give you when it knocks something back can be the difference between a tower going down or staying up.
What could be interesting is not really a card in particular history but in general a "why cycles decks are so good in the meta" (going to the history of how the cycle decks over the years became stronger and stronger)
I mean, the main strength/appeal of a cycle deck is the ability to outcycle the counters the other guy has
Then there's 1 mana heal so I'm sure cycling isn't everything.
@@N12015 The main reason why cycle works is because of how much value you could get with those cheap 1 elixir cards, you'd be surprised by how much you could save by defending with ice spirit and skeletons alone
Especially now due to evolutions being based on cycles so you would get a broken card faster
honestly i want to see cycle decks fall a bit, the meta's always been kept so much more stagnant than it has to be because of heavier cards generally not doing well. i don't know how they'd achieve it, but i really just want to see some heavier cards like all the giant variants, golems, pekkas, etc. cards like goblin giant or pekka are just so much more fun to play with and against than mindlessly spamming skeletons, ice spirits, and goblin barrels or hog riders.
30:02 "and as history shows us players did not like their precious wood being touched" sums it up pretty well Gratz.
It’s a good day when Gratz uploads. And clearly the internet agrees with this positive sentiment. Keep it up Gratz you should be proud.
You work so hard on your videos! They are such good quality
Amazing video as always! I have a recommendation, you could use some of Umineko's OST in your video, it is a visual novel that, for some reason has a lot of good musics that can easily fit in some parts of your video! Good work as always!
I’ll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@GratzClash Thanks! I would particularly recommend the ones called "Witch In Gold", "Mind" and "System 0", i'm not a native english speaker so i just hope that i didn't mess something up, but thanks for hearing me out!
Puppeteer OST is also can be realized pretty well with its rhythmics & orcestration that sorta fits to a Clash's medieval aesthetic.
WTC Mentioned !!
@@Outer-Heaven_Supercomputerbrasileiro detectado🤓☝️
I love so much this man documentaries, i already watched ALL of them, even i dont playing Clash Royale anymore. Its just too good and his storytelling is amazing. This makes me want to make these documentaries too about other niches. Love you Gratz❤
your proposed log nerf is super cool, its stuff like this that makes this channel great. thank you mr gratz
Been watching you from the start. Absolutely incredible content, the effort put to research and edit all this is incredible!
Log is the definition of versatility hehe
Anyways hope to see a video on pekka, that fan favourite card that's pretty mid in cr
I think many cards like xbow, 3 musketeers are quite terrible in ladder just like pekka. Idk what you mean by fan favorite though.
While i do think Pekka has a big fan base (mainly bcoz of coc)
I would say mini pekka is even more overrated & overhyped
Midladders act like it's the best card, while in reality pros rarely use it in pro scenes & most popular decks have little to none mini pekka due to many other better alternatives
as a midladder player myself these two cards are popular to counter meta knight and mini pekka simply counters more stuff than pekka because of the lower elixir cost
U got ur wish lol he released a pekka video not too long ago
Honestly this guy deserves more subscribers
The Log can either be someone’s best friend or worst enemy depending on who’s side it’s on
I remember despising this piece of spiky wood back when I played because it was a legendary and I was a free player, so I could never get the thing and it always seemed to flatten my strategies.
Then again I was a dumb kid when I played so anything meta would've probably drawn my ire.
I think your idea for lumberjack chopping log is really cool!
Lore accurate interaction
Great video as always, I love how you keep coming up with fresh and exciting topics to cover :) music feels good too!
As a Log user myself, I wouldn't want to see it nerfed again, but it's simply irreplaceable in cycle decks for the chip damage, cycle, and versatility. Wouldn't be surprised if they eventually nerf it again...
Yo the man himself SK ❤.. big fan brooo 🎉
@@anikraj6748
the lumberjack change would actually be such an amazing change.
I love the amount of effort put into these videos. Most of the time I'm like "damn why does gratz take almost a month to upload between videos." But then I look at my notifications and see the 41 minute well edited and researched video by gratz. It's crazy because gratz is probably one of the only youtubers I'd watch a 41 minute video all the way through.
U fr know how to make 40 minutes feel like 10, props to you keep up the good work
Players: nerf the log, it’s too powerful
Supercell: *nerfs the log*
Players: supercell is absolutely terrible
I love the DOS2 soundtrack on your videos. I don’t even play CR but you’re so engaging I can’t help myself.
thought i accidentally opened minecraft
glad I'm not the only one
Subbed because you made me watch a 40 minute video for a lump of wood in a game I haven’t played in a year
I no longer play CR because of the lv 15 addition, but I would play it again if the knockback according to weight and lumberjack/log interactions make it in game, nice ideas!
I always love a bit of insanity at the end of each video. Can't wait for the Log spirit!
Bro, I love the nerf idea for the log that you proposed with the lumberjack relationship!!
Lumberjack is my fav card too, and I'm so glad to see someone agree with me on that change as well as Morteiro. Hopefully Supercell sees this video and takes it into consideration as well as the knockback-to-weight rework, but until then... I'll be expecting a "History of the lumberjack" video ;)
Also, I hope you're doing well my man!! I hope you're healthy and that you continue to grow more as a channel a lot more! I'm a sub since you hit 10K after your first video, and I can't wait to see you hit more subs!
Great job as always with this video!
It is an interesting idea. At first I though that the proposal was a joke, but after you explained your reasoning, I can see how you thought of it. However, I don’t really like the idea of a card having very complicated interactions with one other card, sort of like a lock and key.
I agree that cards shouldn’t have complicated interactions between specific cards, but the proposal here is just “the lumberjack can hit the log”, so I’d be fine with it in the game
A gamemode?
yeah but the lumberjack literally mentions the log by NAME in his lore and character description
He hunts the log in lore 😂
I just watched a 40 minute video on the log wow great job
The Lumberjack-Log Interaction You Came Up With Is So Unique And I Really Hope It Will Happen. It Actually Make Creative Usage Of The Lore & Attributes Of Both Cards And It Can Morph The Meta Only In A Positive Way, Since It's Not A Nerf Or A Buff. SUPERCELL PLS DO IT!
I sit here for half an hour after work every day to watch history videos on a game that I haven't played in half a decade. Now THATS good content.
this is def the best cr channel. most of them are more directed to kids imo and this one seems more mature and interesting
No, mom, I'm not doing drugs, I'm just watching a very well produced 41 minutes video about one of the most popular cards on Clash Royale
9:54 holy ive never seen the smile and eyes of the miner
I find funny when people said that "Whats the matter if the usage % is high, the winrate is still balanced"
My guy, if the usage is high enough, there will be a log win and lose in every match.
For example Snorlax in Gen2 has a 100% usage and a 50% winrate cause in every game there is a snorlax who wins and another one who loses.
I don't get nerfing a card just cause it's popular , instead of taking account if it is op or is it toxic/unhealthy for the game.
Finally a video from my favorite UA-camr , i wood like to see the history of splash yard next :)))
I was always biased towards the zap, love that card, but I have more recently put log in a few decks and the card does feel FANTASTIC to play
Watching this gave so much dejavu since you talked a lot about log in both the logbait and barb barrel videos
That idea about the Lumberjack and The Log is just so good and it really does make sense in the context of their lore.
It would be such a unique interaction
@@infinityheart_tm9270fax
Best gratz video I have ever watched it’s long interesting and great ideas!! Keep it up
I’ve always wondered if The Log being able to push back an underground Miner is still a thing
Drank
How tf did I randomly find this video, after leaving cr for almost 5 years now, and not skip even a sec? Good job G
Ngl that 1 tile to 0.5 tile knockback Nerf was just harsh. I mean log was meta and it did need a Nerf, but that was just WILD 💀
Man... I don't even play Clash Royale anymore... But damn great video! The Log was my very first Legendary... And seeing a whole video about it... It's... yeah, pretty nice
balloon history next? also, i really think some of those unique interactions could be super cool for a lot of cards. Could give bad cards some cool niches or create an entirely new architype
okay your idea is actually awesome and I’d love to see that interaction
And thus log bait was born
Thanks for making a quality video with your actual voice and opinions, I hate hearing bots talking with an AI script
Snowball: *exists*
Doesn’t kill troops
@@kostebrett6959fully counters goblin barrel still tho
It does?
lol
rarely ever see giant snowball in decks. Sure it can fully counter gob barrel, ppl are just using log and arrows more than the snowball
Everytime I watch your videos it's so funny hearing octopath traveler ost in the background. Has some banging music that I use to go to sleep with
I still want a history of the changes made to the inferno dragon because I think that'd be interesting
I played this game during launch and only picked it up again this year; this was basically a retrospective, but also reminded me of how much the game changed over the years.
I did pretty much the same thing but started again like a year and a half ago. I love how my old giant skeleton deck still works
Crazy how someone can make a 41 minute vid on a log with spikes on it
Bro dropped the hardest 40
Minute wood documentary and thought we wouldn’t notice
Idk if you’re taking suggestions, but would you want to do a video on the normal Barbs? They’ve gotten a lot of changes, I think.
Lumberjack chopping the Log in half as a unique interaction is actually an amazing idea! Would love to see that too
As a number one goblin drill fan, i require you to make a video on the history of it
A nerf I've always wondered about applying to Log: for every troop the Log hits, its range is slightly reduced. So if there aren't any troops/buildings/etc in its way, it reaches the Princess Tower no problem. But if there are multiple troops in the way, like Skeleton Army, then its range is drastically reduced.
At least, something to this effect. I'm not nearly in tune enough with this game to know the intricacies of whether it'd be better to judge this by troop number, or troop mass, or whether buildings like X-bow should slow it down, etc. Just something I've always thought about, considering how easy a card it is to cycle.
I could see this actually being a nice change so Hog Rider decks can't spell cycle as easily
Log is such a good card. It may have high usage, but it doesn’t feel broken. Hopefully it doesn’t get nerfed!
love these videos. usually wait to watch them while i fall asleep but i’m too interested
bro made a 40min video abt 1 spell card in cr
I love the log, one of my favorites but your idea about the lumberjack just sounds so perfect.
a 40 minute video of the log 😂
great vids I always watch them in the backround while doing my homework or playing video games but the backround music is the only thing I cant seem to stand but overall love the vids keep up the great work
40 minutes is crazy
I use this deck: Sparky, EXE, Ice Golem, Dart Goblin, Tesla, Tornado, Fireball, and Log/Arrows
My strategy is mainly forceful, relying on tornado to manipulate Sparky and EXE damage, while also being a beast at defense. If that won’t work, then I must be boring and do chip damage with Dart Goblin and the spells.
I don’t remember if I switched to arrows at the range nerf or the 20% crown tower damage nerf, but for me, I found the range nerf to be huge, as I couldn’t react to quick cards while simultaneously hitting the tower, so I lost a lot of value. With the arrows then dealing more damage, larger area, and hitting air troops for only one elixir, I’ve switched and still thrive with it. While objectively the log nerfs weren’t much, there would still be archetypes that would make people panic (though that degree of panic was uncalled for 😂).
The Log was my first legendary and at first I was "oh it's just a piece of wood", kinda underwhelming feeling since I got it from a legendary chest, for which I had high expectations. But then by using it I started to love it and realize how good it was, then I discovered it was the best card in the game 😂
It's the spell with the most "personality" and genuinely cool to play with.
Also 10/10 sound design
I literally had that same idea for a log nerf/lumberjack buff and I’m so glad someone else thought of it and could spread the idea
Bro just because the log has a high usage rate doesn’t mean it’s op or needs a nerf. It’s used so much because it’s a cheap card that is very versatile and can fit in many decks. There’s nothing game breaking or op about it.
When I saw this video was 40 minutes long I thought it must be a ton of filler. but instead it was interesting nonstop and super detailed almost like a documentary!! :)
42 MINUTE FOR ONE CR CARD😭😭
Gratz:- uploads
Subscribers:- fast as rocket
They just wanted to kill zap 😞
First of all you did 40 min video for THE LOG 👏👏👏 . Second your idea is very nice and elegant at the end this is a game
41 minutes of just straight yapping
Me being the guy opposing the log nerf, there were specific interactions to distract troops by logging and then placing another troop which was made harder with the knockback nerf. Also it being a legendary, log has always been helpful with the knockback. Idk if it wouldve been fine but it seemed rather a big deal at that time.
I love how it gets super goofy in the end after a big serious detailed analysis and I love it
I feel old when I watch these, very nostalgic for ogs
Who would have thought that I am watching a 42 minutes video about a damn LOG. Loved it.
hope this channel makes it to the top !
Really appreciate your videos even if I don't play the game anymore ut brings me up so much nostalgia
Ayyy stickerbrush symphony. Love you for that
bro made a 42 minute long video for just the log. We salute you for your effort and quality.
If I were to make a champion, I would make it a tree, hear me out. It would deal less damage to small troops and more with big troops, the minimum for small troops would be 88 damage and the minimum for big ones 381, since the tree would have a giant sword. The ability is to heal all of the friendly troops, including buildings like the prices tower, and herself with the heal radius that the og heal spell had, but, it would damage the enemy troops one damage per 2 seconds when they are being within the heal radius, it would also deal splash and spawn damage of 200. Since the tree is big, the troop herself would cost 6 elixir and the ability would cost 4 elixir, and after the troop dies it will spawn a death spell which is an enraged log that is double the size of the original log that destroys the normal log but does not kill any type of troop, only taking half the health of what the troop had, since that is soooo overpowered, the enraged log would do the same for all of the troops enemy and friendly alike minus the tree. And finaly, the name is the destructive tree.
