Another clan war ruined by 8.11s (extreme engineering)
Well, I'm sure these posts complaining about bad war matchups are getting old.
But so is losing to the matchmaker rather than great attackers.
Our recent "theirs to lose matchup" highlights (30v):
Ours
theirs
#2
Us: th10, single inferno, 72k (was a bit rushed to th10), 15/15, mix of th9 and th10 troops
Them: th11, no infernos or EA, 76k, 45/45/20, max troops
Pretty bad offensive mismatch. It's obvious from the 76k weight he's trying to match young th10
...
pretty reasonable lateral matchups from #3 to #24 (early th10 to th8) but then the wheels come off.
...
25-29
us: 5 th8s
them: 5 th11s (8.11s)
30:
us: th8
them: baby th6 (15k)
4 of the 5 have a max th11 attack. All 5 have gws. Heroes are weaker at 10-15 generally.
Now, everyone reading knows the program.
Th11 attacks: 0 vs 12
Grand Wardens: 0 vs 6
A good extreme engineering clan can sweep 1-12 with th11 attacks, allowing their #1 max th10 to drop to 13-14. #3 to #10 bring 16 th9 and th10 attacks to flush the board. #11 to #24 arent needed.
We can and will fight but max th10 vs max th10 is a tough 3 star. So we'll likely score 88 or 89 with good team work and planning while they perfect us with miner and loon spam.
It's not fun or fair. We increasing see these matches when we get a streak 3 to 5 wins long. They leave a sour taste in our mouth.
postscript: to those who would say, you are just whining about losing: nope. We win 2.5 wars to each loss pretty constantly for nearly 3 years; hardly a clean sweep. We loved the old close battles, win or lose. Now, we get a lot of softer matches, followed by matches that are theirs to lose (and occasionally they choke despite vastly superior attack power).
MM is very broken and its been a long time broken.
