SC brought up lopsided accounts years ago, calling them the true problem yet they haven't taken much action against them. So we've still got all these guys running around with heavy 10.5s generally getting an advantage, though sometimes they show up to complain about an eagle imbalance.

They still generally get an advantage, but no longer have double digit win streaks. They face terrible matchups every 5th war or so.
That datapoint, coupled with my experience (mostly balanced / maxer approach facing 4 unwinnable wars since the update), leads me to believe the MM is really all over the place and no one has figured it out.
That's what I'm seeing too. Still an advantage, but gets you other engineers, inferno/eagle disadvantage more often.Quote:

Now there is a sudden and drastic change, undermining the work done over years to appease whiners who are sloppy and/or don't want to take the same losses at raiding to aid their clan in wars. SC is changing the game, and the argument can be made that every player needs to adjust to change. Except we don't have to. This isn't my job, and my family doesn't depend on my gameplay. I will keep playing, but much more leisurely. No more $ for sure. I doubt I'm alone. Learn to enjoy change, and try to enjoy decline SC.
When you upgrade from TH 9 And war higher up Ill give your input more weight etc....Quote:

I have 5 accounts. Name them or quit pretending you know anything about how I play. I'll give you one hint, I'm spread out over three clans.Quote:

It was a solid way to go about the game. The heavily engineered bases were a bit much, but i will be honest, we had a better chance at war with engineered clans than we ever do now.
We are a zero engineered clan with a war win percentage of about 80%, and since the update we are below 50% win percentage. Not any fault of our own either. We legitimately use all attacks and try to win, but the odds are so stacked against us that is has not been possible. The few wars we have won since the war were draws that we squeaked by on percentage. I have devoted about 5 years into playing this game the way it was intended to be played, and i am the very person being punished because of the people that decided rig the game into their favor.
So thanks for the years SC. I was fun, and it was real, but it is no longer real fun...

They have gone way too heavy on war weight for offensive troops and spells... that is the problem. I was a player that always kept my lab busy or i felt like I wasn’t being productive. As a result i have almost all maxed out troops and spells. Do i use them all? No, but i do have them available. And when it comes to TH11 attacking in war, all you need are maxed healers, witches, and bowlers, freeze spell, rage spell, and maybe jump spell. So now that is what people should do neglect the useless troop upgrades and just do those neccesary troops to give the best chance at a 3 star, and viola insta-engineered bases to counter balance the new algorithm.
I wouldn't be opposed to going back to a maxed TH 9. That is where the game is actually balanced properly, and seems to be competitive and fun.
