Paired with A Much Stronger Clan...

How was that possible?

We do have similar number of lvl10 9 and 8 villages. We have more lvl10 villages (premature ones).

But!

Walls: they are averagely 1.5 lvl higher... (our average lvl7, their average lvl8.5)
King Queen: 5 of them have both lvl20+ while only 2 of us do. (the rest are similar and lvl15-)
X bows: ALL of their th lvl9+ have both x bows while only 3/5 of our th lvl9+ do have at least one
Troops: They are almost all maxed at their lvl. Us... dont wanna talk about it...


Guess inf towers, Xbows and walls dont weigh too much in strength calculations...

Upgrade your stuff. You guys sound like a clan full of premature Town Hall 9/10.

i guess they are matching with the strength of dark troops..

Hang in there bud, uou aren't the only one.. check out my rundown of our clan matchup..


Go ahead and make fun of me to bother collecting these stats, but out of curiosity I collected all of the th levels, hero levels, wiz tower levels, and air defense levels from all 45 eligible players in King Jeffrey and compared them to Cavebears. I chose wiz towers and air defenses bc they are a good indicator of town strength and progress. Plus they're easy to determine lvl quickly just by looking at them, and are usually setup in easy to notice square/triangle formations. Instead of calculating if one person has 4xlvl6 wiz towers I instead calculated the Total level, so the max total for a th10 wiz/ad would be 32, th9 would be 28, th8 would be 18 and etc.

Below you'll find the final lines of an excel sheet with the results:
King Jeffrey is the left group and Cavebears is the right-hand group.

You'll see our summed BK level is a total of 195 while cavebear totals an impressive 350. Which is 1.79x higher (or 179% higher for those that like %s). Our AQ total is 67 whilst Cavebears have 150. Again, for example of interpretation of my chart it is 2.24x higher than ours. Both their total AD and WizTower levels are over 30% higher level than ours. For comparison, a lvl8 wiz tower is about 30% higher level than a lvl6.

After the averages and %strength was calculated I went ahead and subtracted their average totals from ours.

It is Abundantly clear that Town Hall level was the highest priority and by far the most heavily weighted factor for our matchup (About a 1% difference).. still doesn't help when they have more th10s, more th9s and no th7s (like us) when all other stats heavily favor their team. Which isn't true for other matchups supposedly where I read mainly th6s being put against mainly th8s and etc.

There was a Huge deviation between total hero levels in this matchup. KJ's total heroe levels when BK and AQ are added together is 262. The total BK+AQ hero levels for Cavebears is 500. So you can see they have twice as many levels in a unit that gets Much stronger as the level increases. Lol I mean Our top 3 total hero scores by individual players is 20, 20, and 20 coincidentally. Their top 3 combined levels are 38, 37, and 31. I think we can all agree that high level heroes are the best weapon an offense can have.


In conclusion, I understand SC has loosened the parameters for matchmaking in these early days. Looking forward to some real matchups in the future.

Hang in there buddy, steve said that matchmaking is going to be "loose" and will be adjusted as needed. So gaps in levels are expected for the next week or so.

OP posted to understand matchmaking, not because he wants to get tips on when he should have gone to th10.

Page 1 on the FAQ touches on matchmaking but I haven't seen exactly how they weigh everything. We got matched up with a clan with some of its members having level 40 heroes and zap walls...some have level 6 cc already! :rolleyes:

Your never find a clan which is the same as you.

In battle, no fight is even. Just because they have better villages they may he horrid at attacking.

Search your bases
select your fights carefully
Use correct troops against more suited bases
you have 2 attempts.
use spells
heroes
.

I'm one of only two th10 players in my clan with maxed defence and lvl20+ heroes but lvl7 walls.
Even if we can 3 star opponent's top four bases, leaves the rest of the clan being tortured...
