Clan Wars is an eye opener

Hey, he was trying to create Thor troops. You gotta give the guy points for originality at least!

I am really surprised how there are many, many people not only bad, but actually really dumb in my clan. Even though o tell them 100x the same thing, they do it not the way i say and fail (for example not attacking that guy that received 10 attacks already and nobody got more than 1 star, or to lure the freakind cc troops before attacking). And they arent noobs (in theory), everyone is TH10 here

We lost the war by 1 trophy btw

Yup, another vote for SOME farmers can't attack well developed bases for toffee. We had a lot of hilarious fails in our clan - for example a th10 failed to one star our most premmie th8 with hogs....just went straight for it and ignored cc, heroes and traps.

that was a funny replay. ;)

Agreed with OP even though I'm exclusively a farmer. In fact ever since battle day in our first war, we've been discussing the no-shows, non-donaters, and horrible attackers and who to kick. Thankfully our enemy was horrible, and our better players clearly bested theirs. It wasn't even a contest even though we have eight year old siblings, several wives, etc. that hardly play and have low level bases.

Same story here.. Extreme disappointment.

they can't handle advices and criticism.
One of the example -->

I told one guy that diagonal walls are least efficient(he asked me to check his base). Even showed him how same length of wall takes 6 pieces if straight and 8 pieces when diagonal ( and still straight line was a bit lengthier )
His arguement? But i got all my buildings inside anyways? so what ?
I told him : Less efficiency and less compartments.

And the user ragequit after telling me that i shouldn't think i am CoC king and know it all -.-
I even apologized for nothing and still he left.

Other comments i face : No lifer, "you take this game too seriously"

Edit : I have the most premmie defenses. yet their top players had to try twice to 2 star my base. Why? I designed my own layout and it was anti hog, Anti dragon, Anti loon and Anti giant. And Even with gowipe it wouldnt be more than 2 star. How much time it took? 1 hour to figure it all out and while chatting along.

Love it. Its great. My clan is full. First war was a trial, which we lost, dismally, mainly due to lack of participation and horrible mismatch of clans, however after our second war and no more excuses, I've got my eye on at least 10 to kick out.
One of our players is lvl115. In a recent push he didn't get out of crystal3. I demoted him as a result. When i saw his attack in the CW, he was truly terrible. A farmer through and through. I had to apologise for demoting him when i realised just how bad he was and crystal 3 was good going, based on what I saw, lol.

Sure, someone can share a replay of good loot or a nice victory, but seeing them get 11% on someone a whole town hall lower than them is surprising, especially when this was their best attack. We also learned who the slackers are. I mean, you can go on every day but once the War starts, you disappear and don't attack. Now we know who needs practice attacking and who deserves the boot. Thanks Supercell, not just for the update, but for helping us learn who is dedicated to the clan! :cool:

absolutely.
Some people are just a little shy and never share replays, you just see their base progress slowly.
I was really surprised how good some of those members were at attacking and how bad some others were .g.

with my TH9, which is basically a TH8, since I upgraded the day before the clanwar, I used 9 dragons lvl 3 and three rage max level, 10 minions lvl 4 and 5 ballons lvl6 from higher TH in the castle plus the king lvl 10. Got six stars. First attack on a premmie TH10, the other on a maxed TH7. (no higher TH left to attack on the end of the war day).
I would maybe have used hogs like when I was pushing to masters in Forum Elite II, but I am saving the dark elixir for my archer queen atm.

With my Mini, a TH7 with only level 5 barracks, I used BAG and 20 (!!!) wallbreakers, 4 giants lvl3 plus level 6 giants in the castle. On second attack I took 4 hogs lvl4 in castle. Brought 2 lightning for a mortar and healspell on both occasions. I took lesser goblins and barbs than when farming. Got 5 stars alltogether, both attacks on TH7.
Why use goblins at all ? Because they get rid of mines/collectors/storages faster than any other troop and so the other troops can focus on attacking something else.

I agree Completely. An Enemy TH5 Couldnt take out a TH3 on our team.... God Damn amazing

My few co's and i use a txt app that allows us to clash while chatting outside of clan chat.

The new joke between us is; "These people must think this game is a m f 'n game!" (Read in samual l jackson voice)
