Revenge unusuable

Ever since the shield guard rework to where you don't lose your whole shield after attacking, I haven't been able to revenge a single person.

Is this not a problem to anyone else?

It's not a problem at all if you are in lower leagues. I was always able to find at least one person open to revenge while I was in crystal 1. My second account hovering between silver 1 and gold 3 has almost half of the list open to revenge.

Revenge has always been difficult, because you have to do it in the slim window between when a player's shield expires and when another player finds them in the regular search - and the regular search players have a head start. But since revenge doesn't give the league bonus, I'd rather attack someone else anyways, so it doesn't bother me. I definitely wouldn't give up the new shield system for it, most especially since it was difficult long before the system went in place last year.

Revenge has "never" been difficult. I literally never had a problem with it and to this day after the shield rework I haven't been able to revenge a single person.

There are many useless features in clash of clans. Revenge is one of them, along with most of the base editing features, among others. Many useless features, like revenge, have solutions, but none of them will really work or improve anything. Thus the only good solution would be to completely remove it or not change it at all.

You could be right. I couldn't tell you the last time I've revenged someone. I'll see if I can confirm it.

This might just be a language issue with your post, because I didn't understand this. I can't tell if you think the shield rule went into effect today (it didn't - it's been 9 months) or if you think that revenge was available every time before that (because it wasn't). I don't think you'll find many people who don't think revenge has always been a problem. Here are just a sample of posts:

I've been trying for 2 hours non stop to revenge someone, someone who is actively attacking people and going offline in the meantime. What's the problem you say? Somehow, while spamming the revenge button, other random people get the opportunity to attack him before I can, and therefor giving him an active shield again.

EDIT*
As I'm typing this message I was spamming the revenge button so the text "player is online, you cant attack" or something like that in english is all over my screen. Im literally spamming revenge twice a second, and guess what, the text changes to "player is under attack, you cant attack"

Allow me to revenge anytime, and to bad if you haven't time to refill your CC.
That's the point of revenge.

Is it just me that is sick of the current system?

Sharky do the devs have a plan to reform revenge?

I'd like to support this post : revenge currently useless as shield/protection makes it impossible to attack


And I've tried several ways, even writing down those names of villages you want to attack and trying every five minutes . Didn't work! :(

Plus each village that you want to attack requires different troops types

Please make revenge usable ! For example attack possible under shield, so revengers have a priority on attack

I haven't heard anything about it, but I'd be very surprised if it weren't under consideration. They've tweaked it a few times over the years and it's definitely in need of tweaking now. The wait times in higher leagues are a real problem.
