Today we have entered a 35 v 35 and I noticed how much more we were out powered. Nothing but TH9 and 10's while we have well over 12 TH 8's.. I scrolled down to thier bottom 4 and notice they were all TH 7's with no Hero's.. LvL 40's hanging with lvl 80's and above. 3 of the 4 were elders. Not sure if this is abuse of the match making mechanics or a good strategy but I am sure this will be a new trend soon with many clans.
great theory... or maybe there not douches and let their real life friends into their clan... or people they meet on global...
To add to this.. It's gimping really to roll in with all high levels if you only care about getting a Win.. If you have TH 4 and 5's in clan who no what they are doing.. Why face another clan with all high levels when you can roll with 3 or 4 low TH's players to get a easier battle. Have the low levels pick off the one or 2 TH's that are probably left out
thats a crazy strategy
Why is it so strange to have a clan with a mix? Not saying they may not be trying to abuse the system, but chances are if this is their strategy it is not going to work very well due to the matchmaking. We have everything from maxed TH10 down to new TH5 and we have fun during our wars. The matches have worked out ok thus far.
You've assumed there are only two possible explanations for what you are seeing. There are many other possibilities.Quote:

Sounds like you drew a tough battle. Good luck!
The point of this thread is to understand why we drew a tough battle like so many other also have came to these forums and stated. It's clan who carry higher levels and a few lower levels they are likely going against. Intentional or notQuote:

- Unfair/unbalanced matchmaking: We will definitely improve matchmaking going forward to make sure clans are more evenly matched. We started off with the settings being pretty liberal, because we were worried that clans would not be able to find matches initially. This will be constantly improved with every maintenance/update.
It is actually not so good to cw with a mix of big differences in levels in clan.
Imagine two clans
One clan is all 8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8
Other clan is 10,10,10,1,1,1,1,1,
The first clan will easy get 15 stars by attacking the newbies at bottom of second clan.
The second clan can only get 9 stars,
Provided the better players all able to 3 stars the enemies which are mid range.
Your clan lost due to your players being greedy and attacking the 10s instead of the 1s.
Interesting to consider that a deliberate attempt to gain advantage in clan wars.Quote:
