Caps on Traps: tie it to League, not TH

Let the number of traps you place be based on your league rather than town hall. (If you go down a league you can keep the traps you have set, but can't place any more than what your new (lower) cap would be).

I don't know how important this upgrade would be- but I have noticed players with >2100 cups like traps and want more, and players under that just want enough to keep their resources safe.

furthermore, it is a way (albeit a minor way) to make cups matter a little more in the game.

What traps specifically since there are big bombs, little bombs, spring traps, air mines, and seeking mines? Also, how many per th. Just need more info on what you're trying to relay to us.

I don't really see the point honestly.

The thing that motivates most people in this game is loot. A trap restriction would be annoying and would do nothing to actually entice people to farm for cups.

Also I'm opposed to the concept of buildings being tied to cups. Basically what this does is as you lose, your base gets weaker. Imagine how frustrating that would be if you were trying to cup hunt. It's like getting kicked while you're already down.

I completly agree with you. I was hoping to just get a better understanding of what he was trying to propose to us. You def should not be punished in anyway for losing or for being a lower th and trying to hang with the big boys in other leagues.

I can see that it could be interpreted as getting kicked while you are down, and I am not entirely sure I think it is necessary myself.

I merely proposed it after reading several threads in general that discuss their frustration at high cup counts with a noticeable lack of traps.

Since traps (of all kinds) are determined by TH level, I was thinking perhaps the top leagues could get more traps than their TH 10s allow at the moment and the people at less competitive levels would have fewer (though still about the same number as we have now based on our TH level).

I personally don't know if top level game play would be balanced by this change- but based on the discussions I saw, I merely offered a suggestion that could help balance top level bases (again, I don't know how balanced or imbalanced it already is at high cup counts- I have never pushed for beyond crystal 3).

The change I was envisioning is that Golds and Crystals would have about as many traps as TH9s and TH10s get now, and then master's and champions would get more traps based on any need for balance.
