Builder Hall Matchmaking FLAWED
So I registered with this forum, this is my first post, and it's only to weigh in on this topic and hopefully effect some kind of change.
First off, I want to point out that it was Supercell support (Someone named Hilton S) that suggested I post here. So for everyone who is taking advantage of the system and wants to call me a "complainer", just know that I'm doing this in hopes that change happens soon.
I have read the other threads, I hear both "sides" of this argument, and I'm sorry but I'm still strongly on the side that the current matchmaking algorithm is extremely flawed. Basing the match on trophies is simply the wrong way to build a 1v1 match where only the winner receives loot.
Drop your trophies, Upgrade your defenses, Watch your replays and learn how to play better, blah blah blah... These are all just excuses for a system that just is wrong. If you don't believe (or agree with) me, then consider this...
What if Clan Wars match ups was solely based on the sum total of the trophies of bases in the war? How would you all feel? I'd have my entire clan just drop their base trophies to 200 each and then go to town on some TH7's and TH8's. (My clan is made up of TH9's-TH11's). Which would be great until everyone else figured it out, then we'd just get random matches, sometimes equal but probably most of the time not.
I'm certain that those of you who have BH5's and BH6's and are hanging around the lower trophy ranges just so you can win (probably because you aren't that good at the game) will have something to say. But the fact is this... I am good at the game, I have a fairly maxed out BH4, and I win ~90% of the fair match-ups (when I'm matched against an equal BH4). I beat probably at least half of the BH5's I come against, and probably similar stats against the BH6's. I don't mind losing when I've been legitimately bested. But it actually annoys me that I'm even matched against a BH6 and there is no satisfaction when I beat them. The whole thing just makes me more and more annoyed with the game.
Everyone in my clan feels the same, and I'm sure that there are others out there who agree or disagree. I simply know this... Being matched against a BH higher than your own is an unfair matchup. The entire Clash community would be up in arms if Clan Wars matchmaking used the same method (based solely on trophies).
Please, for the love of goodness, fix this soon Supercell...
P.S. A little birdie told me that it may be changing soon anyway, so here's to hoping that is ACTUALLY the case.
