Homemade TH 8 Base - Funneling Cube

Homemade TH 8 Base - Funneling Cube
I made this TH 8 Base myself, and before you criticise me for this, my CC is not centralised because I'd like to not request CC troops so that when I do, it would make attacking and defending easier for me.

Features:
- All junctions staggered
- Heavily protected DE
- Hard to get all 4 storages
- Elixir bait (To win some trophies overnight)
- Outside TH for free shield
- Wizard towers protecting storages, especially DE
- Good Mortar coverage
- Even point defense spread around the first layer
- Teslas protecting storages
- Funnels springing with traps and funnels enemies to mortar and/or wizard tower fire

Some cons (Help me improve on these):
- The top is bound to be where attackers come from
- Single storages are easy to get
- Uncentralised CC (For the reasons stated above)
- Air defenses a bit off-centre
- Loss of elixir

You guys' opinions on this base:
1) Should I put the gold storages in the positions where the mortar currently is? It is more centred and is more well-rounded so it's less attackable from only one side
2) Should I push spawn or keep buildings close?

Feedback and Tips appreciated

Considering you having the townhall outside it means you farm? If yes, why do you have you elexir outside?

Otherwise it looks good.

1- mortars should stay where they are, but gold position isn't great. It has minimal anti air coverage. Air attacks from north side will take most if not all of your gold
2- push spawn since especially if you are active

Thanks please do! Tell me how to improve it

@mavios thanks for the comment. Yes I know the top side is vulnerable, but in 1200-1400 you really don't get hit by Baloonians too often. However I do get your point. Any tips overcoming this problem?

Everything looks nice but I am a firm believer that the Clan Castle should be centralized.

Hmm...

Good base, but not utilising your CC is unfortunately a big mistake.

The CC is your best defence. Centralise it.

While it is true that it will SEEM easier on you to request troops not as often, having clan castle troops is always better than not having clan castle troops. A base should never depend on the troops (or one defense for that matter), but the troops should be a very big part of the base. If you rearranged your point defenses and moved the centralized air defense, you could solve that problem very easily. Clan castle troops arent essential to a defensive layout, but they sure do help. This is a proven fact.
