Trophy Pushing: TH9 Struggles
I am currently a fully maxed Town Hall 9 with 148 Level 10 walls left to complete. I have decided to start trophy pushing to Titan 3 with the hopes of possibly making it to Legends League one day. A couple things I believe are slightly flawed and would hope you guys look at:
1) The trophy distribution among ALL Town Hall Levels: just last night I was pushing to Champions League 1. I ended up hitting a TH10 in Champs 1 for 2-stars and received 14 trophies.
MINUTES later, the hard work I put into the push was erased by a TH9 from Champs 3. The attack on my base was poor, as he wasted plenty of troops dealing with the Valks and Witch in my CC. He hit my base for 1-star, yet he earned 17 trophies. This means my base at MINIMUM offered him 49 trophies just for hitting me.
As I earned the trophies back, I just hit a TH10 in Champs 2 for 2-stars and was only awarded 15 trophies.
I don't understand why the game: A) awards roughly the same amount of trophies won/lost regardless of TH9 or TH10 since it's more based on leagues attacked/defended and B) why, as a Champion League 1, the first players to come across my base are in Champion League 3, allowing them to shatter my trophies.
Why do I not come across Champion League 1 players? Why do Champion 3 players of the same TH level get to hit Champion 1 players for 3 times the trophies the Champion 1 player would get if hitting the Champion 3 player?
2) With the inevitable nerf of the Valkyries coming, it will be even more difficult for TH9's to trophy push to the top. How do I know the nerf is coming? Supercell made sure the healers received benefits a while back because they were being underused and once people found a way to use them effectively, Supercell took it away.
Since this is bound to happen, why not increase he trophy amount if you're a TH9 attacking a TH10? I saw a TH10 in Champs 3, completely maxed, and it only offered me 12 trophies for a 3-star just because I was in a higher league.
I really hope you guys consider looking at this because it is extremely difficult and requires you to spend money on gems to boost barracks and heroes and spells all the time because if you don't you will constantly spin in circles trying to push with the way they have it set up.
