How Can Supercell Get you to Upgrade your Permabase?
A while back, Darian mention that one of the reasons for nerfing infernos heal blocking was to encourage all us perma TH9s to go to TH10.
I thought to myself “Good luck in doing that!”
We’ve been doing great with our nearly maxed TH9s. We currently have not lost a war in our last 28 outings. Though, I do fear that might be coming to an end tomorrow. We are currently matched to a clan that could do it.
We didn’t win them all, we have two ties in the run. Our war win streak is only 10. That’s pretty darn good.
All of our TH9s have level 2 xbows but most have high level Royals. Mine are 30/30. Several of our nines have maxed except for Xbows. That’s my contribution to engineering and I do realize it’s slight engineering.
War Weight Goes Away
In Darian’s post for collecting information for science regarding unfair wars, he posted something to indicate that they were considering “Radical” ideas for war. I thought great, they are going to give a minimum weight to TH at last. I now think that was wishful thinking.
I have not followed CWL closely but I doubt you’ll find a lot of engineered clans in contention for the top spot.
I’m no expert on CWL but I don’t think war weight comes into play at all. It’s a bracket type thing. You win, you move up. It seems to me that the best way to win is to have a boatload of max TH11s in that situation.
If I understood Darian correctly, they said they had come up with an idea that they are confident will remove the advantage for engineering.
A while back, some of the Game specialist and other experts were discussing a system like that used in chess could do away with war weight.
If they do that, that would get me off my perma TH9 and my perma TH10.
I suspect that it will also mean the beginning of a long losing streak for our clan. With all those wins we have had, we’d likely be ranked much higher than our capabilities with our TH9s and 8s.
So, I really don’t want it to happen but I fear it will. It will get me to upgrade to TH10 and beyond. That’s about the only way I can see it happening. :)
What about you? Would you be likely to take your permabase to the next level if war weight stops being the main factor for war?
Do you think it is likely or far fetched that war weight will be going away? If it does go, can you picture all the whining on the forums?
