What TH level are you? If anything I thought defense was overpowered(Once you reached TH10 swith the inferno tower which made a very strengthy base mixed with xbow and splash towers)
OP, you're right there should be a balance in the game on attacking and defending. What I have notice is that when you hit that 3000 plus trophy range you will lose more on defense than offense. By looking at the top player attacks and defenses ratio like 100 Attacks won and 3 Defenses won there is a big gap between the two. I don't see any challenge in winning on offense most of the time to me its like playing a game using codes to get infinite health etc, to pass levels with ease NO challenge at all. I would of thought that when you build a defense that cost 8 million it would be some what elite I guess not. So there should a balance between the two a little better.
There are a lot of factors at play here. For the game to be balanced to any defensive structure needs to be able to be beaten, and any attacking army needs to be be able to be defended against. I think this is true of the game, there is not guaranteed army that will always win, and every defensive layout to date has been beaten.
The factor that changes the win/loss ratio is the choices the players make, better players are better able to choose which bases to attack and which bases to pass based on army composition they have.
What happens in game is that when get above a certain level of trophies everyone who is there is good enough to make the right choices and win most of the time. Defense is still an important part of the strategy, but goals shift.
