Most Flawed Aspect: Punished for defending

Quoted for 100% truth. League bonus for defence would be easy to implement and really help alleviate that problem. And those who use such tactics tend to have more loot. Anything to encourage them to try defend will only help the game at all trophy levels.

To help protect abuse against 'trophy droppers' just program the game so that if you win a defence where the opponent uses 2 or more troops/spells you get the league bonus.

That way hero droppers and withdrawals don't add 'free loot' into the game. Which is probably the main reason SuperCell would dislike it.

I totally agree with you on this at the moment there are no incentives for people to play deffence other the trophies which to most players is pointless. I think adding a loot bonus on deffence would greatly increase the chance someone would stop farming and actually play deffence!

I agree with OP, what's the point of winning defense when you lose lots of resources?

SC, if you're reading this and you want us to protect our TH, you gotta change something...

otherwise we just throw our TH outside hahaha

It would be nice to see some changes made. But what would be best in terms of punishment versus reward. You could increase the gold/elixir/DE-capacity of the TH significantly. If you store a 1000 DE, a million gold and a million elixer in the TH I don't think you would see a lot of easy TH's. Basically you'll get punished for putting your TH outside. You could also use leaguebonuses for defense as a reward. I wonder if leaguebonuses would cut it. If you can lose 300k and the loot bonus is 10k it won't help. From what we've seen sofar, you can bet SC will never make the bonuses high enough.

As a relative newb (TH5) I find defense infuriating. Ive spent day after day after day upgrading things to get to this level, and any time i turn the game off i get all of my resources depleted via raids, the majority of which I "win". Im at the point now where upgrade are starting to get really expensive, and I find myself with a free'd up builder that I cant do any desired upgrades with because ive lost all of my gold on "successful" defenses. So then i get sucked into the never ending vortex of being forced to commit my builders to upgrades I dont quite want at that time, which are taking days to complete, because I dont want to leave a builder idle. And what happens when he is freed up... my gold has been depleted again by largely "successful" defenses. UGGHHHHH....

Im sure im not stating anything everyone one else hasnt delt with at this stage of the game, but it really suck because I actually like the defense side of the game. (Creating new layouts, re positioning defenses etc.) The bad thing is im quickly fini=dng out that if you don't like to raid nonstop yourself, you are at a really big disadvantage.

The creators should balance the game for both styles of play. IMO

BTW, first post! Hello all.

Welcome to the forums! I'd recommend putting your TH far outside your walls. That way, if you get attacked you take a guaranteed loss, but you also get a 12hr shield. Then you design the rest of your defense to protect your storages at all costs. So even though the game says you "lost" the battle, you prevent them from taking your resources, which is a "win" for you.

The OP has very good points and solutions, I fully agree with you :)

+1

exactly u have a great point and some good remedies

I had one raid on me where I were I was at max storage and my collectors had about 7 hours of filling. I was hit hard.... Maybe a loss of 530k but after the traps loss it was 715k. That hurt really bad:/

Well said OP! Best thread I read here in awhile. You have my support (if it counts for anything).
