Them
7TH11, 8TH9, 7TH8, 6TH7, 2TH6

Matchmaking is worse than ever, either sort it or revert it back as currently war is a joke.
Just give a TH a minimum weight ffs its not hard.

Some of us have been predicting for a long time that the pool of clans entering MM at a given time may have decreased to the point where fair matches might be nearly impossible. This continues to be my #1 concern, and am hopeful that by increasing war search time, it might expand the pool enough to revitalize things.

I'm also hopeful that the match you described above was a 'pre-update' match. If not, good luck. You've got an uphill battle.

Hopefully your match is an outlier of the new update.

We are desperate. Just tried another war after a week of stopping with it with everything left out that could be considered a engineered account and we faced a engineered clan we no chance of winning.
It doesn't matter what we try, we will loose without chance.

Our spin today took longer than usual and is super even. Good job supercell.

Getting silly now. It seems impossible to find any normal opponents. I don't mind people engineering if that is the way people want to play it, I just feel cheated if I am being bothered with it all the time. Let all engineers battle it out with eachother and let me and my clan face people who play the game as intended. If we go in 100% legit, as we have been doing for months, it should be so by default that we only get matched up against other clans with ( roughly ) the same line up. Don't care if that means it takes longer to find a match. Doesn't take a genius to figure out the whole engineering thing will bring down the game eventually. Supercell needs to stop tweaking and start making some bold decissions even if that means putting off people that mess up their game in the first place.

Isn't the point of engineering to tweak the matchups? You'll never do away with it entirely, there will always be a way to tweak it. Essentially they back their ability to attack over a static base defending - and the only solution is 3 star their weaker defending base

We had a matchup with 1 th11 on our side, 2 10s and a bunch of 9s. We drew 2 max 10s, and 8 engineered 11s. We 3d them out because otherwise we were sure we'd lose (in the end our no-eagle 11 only got 2d by all their 11s, and they rage quit and didn't attack the remaining bases)

As far 'the game as intended' goes - it is a game where you can upgrade attack/ defence/ both/ either or neither. There are no rules.

I'm in a clan in which we are running 10-15 man war mostly. No .5, no engineering bases at all and I have to say the matchmaking did improve a lot for us since the update on it. The more difference you have between your 1 and your last one (in terms of th lvl) the more the chances are you'll get unbalanced matchup. =< 3 th lvl seems to guarantee a fair matchup (11-10-9) with a good balance between your th. (if 10 match-up : 3 th11 3 th10 4 th9 and so on..)

Supercell was eager to make an end to the townhall sniping because it wasn't how the game was intended to be played. Progressing through various town hall levels without placing most, if not all, defensive buildings must surely be the same if not worse. Besides, I am not advocating a ban on engineering. I am merely asking for them to be removed from the list of my possible opponents. 100% legit should mean you get to face another 100% legit clan. Let it be a day for this kind of matchup to be found. Beats wasting 2 days on a likely very frustrating war.

What is 100% legit? I am reading mixed views on what is "legit" and what isn't.

I think hes referring to the clans that are not engineered or .5s when he says 100% legit.

Hello!

First war in months, to check the brand new formula of the new war matchmaking:
20 vs 20
us : 0 TH11 , 10 TH10 (one is a brand new TH10) , 10 TH9
them: 10 engineered TH11 without eagle, 9 of them with infernos, all of them with the offensive to butcher our TH10s and the rest doesn't even matter at this point.

See you around!
