I do appreciate these, but might suggest a different format? Maybe submit a larger set of questions to the devs (2x, 3x?) and let them choose which ones to formally respond to (with the goal being they would choose the questions where the answers would be most interesting/informative for the community)?

I don't like to criticize without offering a potential solution ;)

Not to be rude, but this is a godawful idea.

The problem with this solution is that you're putting everything in the hands of the devs. The devs have shown time and time again that they barely care about their playerbase, or, should I say, they don't care enough to fulfill their promise of better transparency. What makes you think that allowing them to select the questions will suddenly cause all of the problems to go away?

That's the same situation that was said 2 years ago.... yet that fiasco happened last year (it was a blessing to me) and they were mostly gone...

Those words, "it would only be unfair if it wasn't available to everyone" doesn't always apply.

Only difference is that engineering is fair by ToS standards, but you can already assume what I mean by the 2 years ago business. Everyone had it available to them, so if it's available for everyone does that make it fair? Absolutely not.

Just that part that should be used carefully, the simple "it's available to everyone" biz doesn't necessarily work in every favor, especially when *ahem* were in denial about it and brushed it under the rug

Now I'm just repeating itself.

We have 4 th11 with eagles,
7 th10 with max infernos,
1 with lvl2s,
1 with level 1s,
1 9.5
11 th9s.

We matched
8 th11 with eagles
3 10.5
2 th10 lvl3s
1 th10 lvl1
6 th9
1 th8
1th7
2 th6
1 th5

so in summary they have 22 th11 attacks all with wardens and max bowlers - to our 8. How is this fair?! This isnt a one off either, its happening all the time. Matchmaking is BROKEN. We thought it was bad when all we ever faced was modders, but this is just as bad, we give it our all of course but when you've got 22 spam bowler attacks you can be pretty sure they are going to find a way to clear our 9 th10s.

A th11 should be matched with a th11 in war, period. If someone hits that upgrade button they should know thats what they are going to pull in. You dont have to stop 9.5 etc but you can stop it in war. I dont care what anyone says, engineering is giving yourselves an unfair advantage in war by taking advantage of the system and I find it hard to believe that Supercell employees are split down the middle when its a blatent breach of their 'fair play policy'.

thats why its not only engineered base is the problem. .5 can also a problem.

let say they fixed this. isnt putting lower townhalls in the roster will create mismatch?

Roster engineering? Yes

no not engineered. normal th5 below.
like what we usually encountered before, way before engineering, we were th9s, th8s, and down to th7s. we were matched against clan with rostered th3s, but their tops were th10s. sometimes two th10s with decent trops and infernos.

unless SC match the tops strictly at the same ths and the bottom does not matter then this wont be a problem

It can still create a mismatch, to answer your question. It's more of a tamed roster engineering, at least how I see it. Having lower town halls can skew your match and create a dis or ad.

To add to that people would accuse SC of only answering questions they want to answer (or the easy questions to answer) and I wouldn't be suprised if that was the case. The big questions that people want answered would probably never get answered.
