I agree that it seems to value defense. It really depends on how the MM handles a clan full of premmie TH players. Will they get matched with folks with similar TH levels or more with folks with similar defense (weapons / walls).
As someone who has chosen the path of a fully built out base before each upgrade, I'm hoping for more weight to be given to TH. I'm looking forward to taking my "heavy" low level TH and pounding premmie TH players.
