This. Sad but true.

I have never seen war matching as bad as it is currently. It seems as if it actually got much worse after the announcement that they were working on it. My current 10 man war is rediculous. We have 5 9s with some 8s and 7s. We have no manipulated bases. We get a match with 4 10s. They are not maxed, but the extra spells,troops, and upgraded troops make for an unrealistic match. I just don't understand haw they can let one clan have toys available to next th that your clan does not. I'm beginning to wonder if they truly are trying to make matchmaking fair or are just giving us lip service. It's probably time to get out of the water until we are assured that there are no more sharks in the water.
Agree 100%. I also think they intended us to progress defensively as well. They have been telling us for years that a strong defense is just as important as a strong offense. I just wish they would not punish those that followed their intended path with poor matches. When I go to th 10, I'll expect to fight th 10s.
Ummmh, one week and 70 pages. How many more pages until the new MM goes live? Do the opinions presented here matter?
The opinions obviously matter to you. You did take the time to post a reply. I thought these forums were here to present our opinions. If you don't care for my opinion, you are free to express your opinion. If it truly doesn't matter to you, just don't reply.
I simply stated that since the announcement of upcoming changes, my clan has terribly uneven matches. They are much worse than before the announcement. I'm not sure why it has happened, but it has, and it is very clear to see.
Something changed for us, wasn't sure if any changes have gone live yet, but for 2 different clans we have worse matching yet over last 3 wars. Fortunately for us one of matches to our advantage, but that's not as much fun as having a fair match.
What the opinions matter to me is indifferent. What they matter, if any, to SC is the only reason to make the thread. I have also experienced the same that MM has become worse lately. Some adjustments seem to be done but they have not lead to the direction that was promised to us.
Perhaps they are making some (beta-)tests of new algorithms, just they forgot to tell us that we are testing them?
Dont know how many times I need to say this....
No amount of algorithm changes will fully thwart engineering clans.....
UNLESS they do 1 thing and 1 thing only...
Make 2 defenses per base.
The reason engineered clans have always had the advantage, and STILL have the advantage even after multiple algorithm changes, is cause you get 2 attacks to 1 defense.
But I'd wager this will never happen :^(((
2 defences wouldn't stop engineering. There's no need to be lopsided to engineer - some of the most effective ways of engineering can be balanced bases at the moment. What 2 defences per base would do is mean that clans couldn't cover if anyone missed an attack. Or every single disconnect would be 3* down the drain. It would give a huge deterioration in player enjoyment, and have little if any effect on the better engineers.
However if SC actually sorted out the weighting system properly it make it very hard to engineer and the available advantages would be very small.
I think a good solution would be to HEAVLY weight th level regardless of defensive strength. It would stop engineered bases completely if th11 had to face another th11
