Why Don't Legendaries Feel "Legendary" Anymore?

Back when you’d screenshot your legendary drops and send it to friends

people who played back then will never forget the feeling of getting their first legendary

I still remember getting a lava hound from a daily wood chest like 4 days after they came out. Carried me for like 3 arenas since nobody had any idea how to deal with it yet.

I remember back in 2016 when my family were not doing so well financially and things hasn't been well for my parents.I remember when me and my mom go to a cheap restaurant for a meal with little money we had and my mom asked me to order first and i asked her "why didnt u order too?" and she replied "im not that hungry for now" and i just nod at her not understanding the situation and while i was waiting for the food to arrive i open up my old tablet like real old(cracked screen some black spot on the screen) and i open clash royale to collect some crown and open a crown chest i cant forget the joy and happiness at that time when i got my first ever legendary which is an ice wizard where non of my friends has it.I was so happy when i got it and try to explain on how happy i feel for getting that card and how much it meant for me and in respond she smiles and hugs me and i saw her having a teary eyes. At that point i was too young to understand on why she reacted like that but as i grew older this particular moment grew on me more things are so rough back then but getting that legendary card cheers and lifts the mood up for both of us. And everytime i look at the ice wizard that moment instantly pops out in my head thats how special legendary back then

This makes me wanna go back in time and give my past self a financial lecture on how spending 2500 gems on 5 legendary chests will become the most regretful and stupid financial decision you will ever make… But thanks for the nostalgia trip anyway mate!

Not only the legendary, epic cards were also hard to get back then. I remember getting P.E.K.K.A for the first time in 2016, happy as heck😂

At around 2016 to 2017 I lost a friend because he was the only one in the group who had a legendary(the lava hound) and he decided to go hang out with the cool legendary card kids. These things were insane back then.

What a great video. As an OG Clash Royale player, it is sad to see how much this game changed throughout time, but life boils down to changes and different stages, so we must me happy to have lived this magic era of videogames❤

I remembered that time when I got an inferno dragon from a gold chest, I jumped and cried. Truly was a fantastic feeling.

Another factor I want to mention is the addition of the glowing card that advertises you when there's a legendary in the chest. Even if it didn't devaluate Legendaries, after that update they just completely stopped feeling that "magical" to obtain as they were.

One thing you also didn’t mention is the fact that some of the legendary card’s special abilities were later shared with similar cards of lower rarities eg: the electro wizard’s stun attack later given to the electro dragon, and the ram rider’s “double attack method” later given to goblin giant. Also you briefly hinted at the fact battle healer should’ve been a legendary since that card has a unique ability, and I think the same could be said for electro giant.

My first legendary was a Sparky, from a legendary in chest in 2016 I might add. My first natural legendary was an ice wizard from either a wooden or silver chest. As special as those events were, I 100 percent prefer cards being easy to obtain because parity is more important for the health of the game.

I played Clash Royale since release. My first legendary card was the Miner, but I always loved the Princess. I grinded to Legendary Arena just so Legendary cards could appear in my shop. Every single day, first thing in the morning, I would check if the Princess was in the shop, I still remember my disappointment every time she's not on sale. I waited for weeks and the day finally came that she showed up in the shop. I was really happy and even told my parents even though they have no idea what I'm talking about. Good old days. Now, Princess just gets crushed by a log.

I remember back in middle school, everyone was playing CR, and I was so mad and jealous because all my friends were getting their first legendaries of either princess or ice wizard while I still got nothing. I even got desperate that I spent money on gems to buy a super magical chest, and STILL didn't get one, I raged so hard. Legit the day the update for the miner and sparky was released, I got the miner from a free chest. I remember screaming for like an hour in school and everyone staring at me. Definitely the highlight of my CR life

Now you can buy all champs for 10$

I once got 2 princesses back to back on a silver and a free chest, back when there were only 2 legendaries. One of my best memories
