Adjustment to war base weighting: defenseless/engineered bases

I don't fault anyone for playing within the rules SC laid out, and implementing tactics/strategies to help win a war. Bowlers are OP, so it's obvious TH11s should obliterate the TH10s with their Warden propelled max Bowlers. Dragons are OP early on, so mass dragon raids are recommended (and very effective).

Defenseless or engineered bases, however, seem to border on exploiting the matching algorithm designed/formulated to pair 'equal' opponents.

I am all for giving a non-maxed, engineered or defenseless base a lower weight. However, I do believe SC needs to re-evaluate the advantages maxed offensive capabilities provide. Maxed goblins and farm troops are very different than maxed drags/dark troops/lightening/etc. Most in war want a fair matchup; clans relying upon engineered bases are working hard to exploit a fair matchup.

To propose something, a minimum base weight for any TH8/9/10/11 could be one solution. It keeps variables simple, and could help reduce the standard deviation (aka significant opponent mismatches) that engineered bases currently introduce. I appreciate the difficulty of bringing up an engineered base, and am not suggesting the advantage be removed; I just don't believe it should contribute towards creating the war mismatches it does today.

Not a bad idea, you could set it as the actual base weight or the weight of a max lower TH which ever is relevant.
So a rushed/engineered TH8 will weigh at least a max TH7.
A TH10 will weigh at least max TH9 or its actual weight if it's greater . . . and so on.

Sound like it might undo the advantage that this engineered bases have created for them self's in war making them pointless and useless. Giving them every reason to fix themselves for war. I give you two thumps up an 3 gold stars for the ideal.👍👍⭐⭐⭐

Lower weight bases are fine, and should count for less. An 8.5 or 9.5, with offense first and defense later, is cool and doesn't seem to throw off the algorithm (matchups are more or less equal--what we all want).

But SC's algorithm dramatically underweights the value of high level offense, giving rise to significant clan vs clan mismatches. Again, it's hard to do--credit to these folks going the defenseless route. But TH11s should never account for less weight than a TH8, or a TH9.

These are blatant exploitations that are ensuring non-equal matchups. There are lots of fixes. But a minimum base weight per townhall level seems easiest to implement with the fewest variables...
