This game is only about two troops...

Archer Queen and Barb King :) Here's why (my rant).

I decided to go to Champion. I went from 2400 to 3000 fairly easy. Ups and downs with some devastating attack loses, but overall, fun!

Once I hit 3000, things got changed. Its a totally different game. First off, there is no available bases to attack. All the "next" button gives are bases 2800 or lower, so the normal trophy win is only 5-10. However, when you log off you instantly get raped by someone, for at least 12-15 (two star). 3000-3100 is doable as long as you do not log off. Chances of winning a defense or zero to nill at this point.

Now, at 3100, this game becomes impossible! I have a near maxed Th10 base, with lvl 8 and lvl 9 walls. My only issue is I have lvl 13 heroes. Everyone at 2800+ attack using the same exact strategy: golems, wiz and witches. This in itself is a major game flaw. It shows things are not balanced. I have literally been attacked 25 times at this range and everyone does the exact same strategy. That is the first problem.

Second, the only thing that actually matters in an attack at this stage is your heroes. If you have lvl 30+ heroes, you will always win the battle. Always. Impossible to lose. My evidence is very clear in my logs. Since everyone attacks uses the same strategy and spells, one can surmise the only different is the hero levels. Now looking at my log, anytime I actually won is if the heroes are below lvl 15. Anyone attacking with lvl 30+ is an auto 2 star. This morning someone 3 starred me.

Why is this a problem? Simply because it narrows down this game into only 2 troops.

So to recape, two major issues at 3000+ trophies that is flawed in this game:

1.) Everyone uses the same strategy and really the only troops that matter in this game are the heroes.
2.) Winning a battle gets you 4-10 trophies, losing a battle causes you to lose 25+ trophies. Losing a defense causes you to lose 12-32. For example: I lost -12 and -25 in two defenses while I was sleeping. Thats -37. That will take me over 6 attacks to get back. I estimate a total of 10 hours of non-logging off gameplay.

I would love to hear from others that are 3100+ about my post (if you are not 3000+ please do not respond as you will only distract my points). Do you see the same experience, flaws and problems?

Thanks!

True for 3000 Trophies +

No one is going to respond............

I used a different strategy than Gowiwi i used balloons and minions sometimes i didnt even have to drop my king or queen and used only 2 spells.

Gowiwi is the easiest for people to use so they use it just the way its gonna be, I agree with defence being useless now though as its impossible to lose with bk and aq

They are attacking with only heroes now, wow, impressive, I have to use my entire army to win

Seen plenty of loons being used at 3600

At 3000+ there are still plenty of bases to attack, not sure what you are talking about.

People use that strategy because it is effective, as you can attest to on your defense log.

Your gripe is with the trophy system itself where there is an imbalance of gains on attack wins vs. losses. However, attack vs defense is heavily skewed towards offense. Kinda balances things.

no one said 3000+ was gonna b easy. Stick with it bro :)

Ok im new to the 3200+ plus area normally farming!but as i have 5 builders chopping wood as all defence is maxed thought i would do cups,the trophy system is messed up as in pics i will show you can win hardly anything on attacks as all you see is masters 1/2
first 2 pics defence next attack

Thats why they are called "CHAMPS" ....its not ur usual master league bro

Yeah, I can agree with some of your points. Defense rarely wins in Champion league, its not even close.

Not sure i totally agree. My heroes are only a little better than yours. I just made it to champ - all archers to over 3000 and then I went dragons. While I have only won 1 defence in a few days, I have only once been more than 1*ed. Average loss for me is about 5-6 cups so as long as I win 2 raids, I can almost definitely make a net profit when I log off. First defence as a champ was 1* for -1 cups!! I can live with that. Drags are expensive to use for any length of time, which is why I only used them for the final push, but they are fairly easy to get 2* and double-digit cup returns at 3100, even against people with lvl40 Archer Queens. I used 12, with another in clan castle, 3 rage and 2 freeze, if you're interested.

There may be an imbalance in the trophy system... Well their definitely is. It can get annoying. Definitely not impossible to push through champ, however. Just like you may make mistakes and fail an attack, someone else may do the same against your base. Defense wins are not common, however not unheard of. I used balloons and minions to push through champ, as did many others I know. A loss is hard to recover from, but its also fairly easy to go on streaks without losing. Just keep at it, once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy I reckon.
