Matchmaking post-update on my engineered clan.

I did have to make some changes to my engineered clan, even before the update.

Pre-Update composition:

1 mid th9
20 th5-7 defenseless
20 blanks (th3)

I noticed that, before the update, I couldn't find matches because simply put, there aren't many engineered clans out there. My clan is so engineered with the defenseless that we couldn't find a matchup. So, we had to turn a few defenseless into hybrids.

Hybrid design:

104 walls to complete the circle around CC, so you'll have to break through the wall to release the cc troops.
Walls stopping at wall level 5 (or maybe 6, depending).
Level 4 archer towers.
Level 4 cannons.
Big bombs and spring traps.

This was done in order to get matchups.

Now, we have 4 th6-7 hybrids and the rest defenseless and blanks.

since update:

Matches are still heavily in my favour. I would suggest that the search primarily tries to match with war weight (defense) and as it passes the 10 minute mark, it will slowly shift the matching system away from war weight to offensive weight.

I say this because I find a lot of matches that have run past 10 minutes will look more and more skewered, but offensively, the separation doesn't seem to be all that great.

Anyway, here's the war log, enjoy the 100% destruction!!! Current war is 100% but ends in 18 hours. We do spy, but more to say hi, chat, and look at war log etc. We do not mod, especially since the matchups are so one-sided, they require no amount of effort to win.

Dark Assassins, level 4 clan, Canada region.

BTW current matchup in regards to win streak: Me: 19, Them: 1.

I would like this thread to discuss how matching works, not about the "evils" of engineering, because I've heard it all before.

I reiterate I believe that clan matches first match against each other by total defensive war weight, then as time goes on, it shifts away from total defensive war weight to adding more and more offensive war weight into the equation.

Do you think that, eventually, SC could release old formulas to us?

Don't understand people warring with defenseless bases and very low town halls. Then, to come on the forum and brag about something like that, it just boggles my mind. It's like taking candy from some child then bragging about it.

It is quite simple actually. It's about ego and insecurities mostly. Some people like to play games for the thrill, others need an ego boost.

Are you speaking from experience? Sorry, what you are doing in this game is just being a bully. I despise bullies, taking defenseless bases and town hall 4's to war so you can beat up noobs? Then, you have the gall to brag about something so disgraceful. You sir, need to look in the mirror and see what it is in your life that compels you to do such a thing. Have a nice day!

Yep, the bragging about it on a forum is what makes these things you mentioned so apparent.

Ignore the haters, OP. That clan is awesome. Great job.

My defenseless th8 weighs the same, 8.5 got bumped up a bit, and a 9.5 went waaaay up.

It just humors me how people come on here bragging like they have discovered something new, like I said, some clans had engineered bases the FIRST day clan wars started.!

People who have that many wins are engineering and/or bunnying.

I read over your posts you've made here, you're just a troll, and I'm letting you know you're a liar and a fraud.

Thanks buddy!

Are you talking about when the war starts, your position in the lineup? What caused the jump waaay up? Inferno towers? I don't think they changed much since the update, although they say they have.
