WHY do people keep voting for this time waster!? Battles that should take 30 seconds end up takijg minutes as we watch potions explode endlessly. There are TWO kingdoms with potions this week.
Maybe lower level players think potions give them a better chance to win. But for late game players they simply increase the time it takes to win.
Which do you think there are more of? Cus the vote is won by people who WANT potions all the time, so I assume there’s more low level players. And if it helps low level players more, than that’s why they vote for them. That’s democracy, in action. The will of the majority wins, even if it sucks for you, personally.
I’d like to see less potions, too. Not having them in multiple kingdoms would be good, and having them drop way less (more like other gems do) would be even better.
Just pointing out that most players clearly WANT potions, for some reason, so you can’t really expect devs to get rid of them, can you?
Yeah obviously people vote for them. I dont understand why. I dont lose or find it hard. Its just really annoying to sit there and watch the cascade when i could have ended the battle minutes ago.
The elemental kingdom would have been perfect for grinding vp in this week but its got potions in it
Ok as someone who likes mana potions.
Especially in maraji expanse. Using immortal caprichor.
I disagree with you.
Your post is about winning quick, maybe change the emphasis to having fun.
And changing vote on , purple, brown green, every week since PvP started. In the middle 3.
Boredom outweighs speed immeasurably.
Ps. Can’t be about speed for green kingdoms.
As Khafru or takshaka.
Quickest mana starts.
No green there.
Plus 2 dragon kingdoms wtf, honestly.
Change direction of your hate.
I dont dislike those because they are quick. But i do agree there shouldnt be duplicate kingdoms. Or gems. There shouldnt be an option to vote for the same gem or troop twice
Potions needs to be banned. People vote for it because a troll mechanic. It’s there frustrate people. That’s all it is and it really needs to go.
I vote for it, for me. I like using it.
Extra turns. Easy wins.
To be a troll would mean, I was caring about how others fought.
Which I don’t.
Only if you dont care about VP. If you are trying to get those top 3 rewards you want quick battles.
And on the contrary id say potions can be more frustrating. You pretty much need to take every 4 match that appears or the ai will likely get a cascade of their own. It just makes for much longer battles.
How bout instead, the devs change the way Alliance location categories and weekly gem types are chosen? Random or defined (by the devs) rotation vs Grape Alliance always choosing? Or…. Limit choices for selection to those that haven’t been chosen until all are chosen in a given time frame. As many gem types as there are, we’d only see potions once every 6 or 7 weeks that way.
Level 1708. 2nd last week. 90k VP
3rd ATM 33k VP.
I’m sorry but, your wrong.
Potions are a personal preference, I like them more than dragon gems.
Ps. The opponent doesn’t get a turn.
The opponent only gets a turn, if you use a defensive class like elements list.
I use doomsayer, quick explode.
Attacking class.
Anyways no offense, just saying. I like potions.
I hate the 3 same inner ring colours every week.
That should be your fight, not potions.
Plus potions give a lot of 4 matches.
Use troops who’s 3rd trait, utilizes 4matches.
Honestly potions for me, is the best gem in the game.
Not trolling, this is my honest pov.
There is an upside to the maddening potions. Max gold in a battle. Although length of battle can sometimes negate total gold haul for triple shorter battles vs 1 potion laden battle.
I’d rather see a true rotation of troop types and special gems. This would Be more challenging (and probably tick off more people’s, lol) imo
Id like completely random and no duplicates
Same. No vote. Random everywhere.
No colour or gem dupes.
I would love that, there’s options we will never ever see, because they never get voted for..
Use a rotation, like they do in the soulforge.
Well, Leprechaun is green and a very fast start, but they all depend on the starting board. You can make fast green teams, just fine.
This is such “main character” thinking. “Surely they must be doing it to annoy me, I don’t like it so they can’t either, therefore it must be the only option”. No, most people voting for something aren’t thinking about you (the people who hate potions) at all, they’re voting for what they like.
Numerous people have pointed out that they like potions, because they’re easier, especially with lower level teams.
Exactly.
While random sounds good at first, it does mean some of the more annoying options (which never get voted for because everyone hates them) would pop up from time to time. Such as lycanthropy gems.
Also, we’d have kingdoms getting picked, instead of troops, meaning restrictions on weapons, making battles way more annoying, slow and difficult. If they removed the dumb restrictions on weapons, I’d be all for random, though.
The funny thing is… to me they’re boring to the point of frustration. They’re killers of fun. If i wanted to see gems play itself or watch pretty colors go pop, I could watch a stream or play with a kaleidoscope…
So.. tell OP or myself to switch the focus to fun… we are not having fun with Mana Potions. We would have to switch our focus to resigned irritation, which is basically where we are at. 
I like them , but il do you guys a deal.
The day the middle is a red,blue or yellow.
Il never choose mana potions ever again.
Because I like them, as much as people like
Purple,brown,green,every day of every week of every month of over a year.
Alsi.every week, dragons, elf’s, dragon gems.
It’s not just constant mana potions, is consistently constant the same troop choices.
Nothing will change, with our votes, we’re all different and like different things.
I have also said why I like them, immortal caprichor, extra turns. Plus a troop who’s 3rd trait utilizes 4 matches or colour matches.
I understand you hate waiting an extra 5 seconds, for animations to stop.
But for me, potions are better than , dragon gems, stun, bomb,angel ect.
Btw I accept I’m different to a lot, I used caprichor with plague this week, just for fun.
I don’t see the game as a speedrun.
Nothing better than pressing plagues random skill points spell, and seeing an enemy explode 
You know if you put.
Immortal cap
With mana potions
And TPK for his traits.
It’s virtually impossible to lose.
