Im Big on Unsymettrical bases, Ive used Symettrical bases and for me the Unsymettrical bases I have used have performed far better, they seem to really confuse the Attacker on which side to Attack from and arent Mainstream (I like to have my own playing style) also I like the distinct look of Unsymettrical bases, Im not sure why but they look way Cooler than a plain old Symettrical base IMO, Post your thoughts here :)
Does it really matter? I figured most people just went symmetrical to look cool
I prefer symmetrical bases, but un-symmetrical bases seem to hold different, weird, and surprising traps and stuff like that
Symettrical bases are predictable. I would go for unsymettrical bases.
Exactly why I like Unsymettrical bases, the Element of surprise often makes people panic and completely mess up their raidQuote:

A Predictable base is a base that is easy to beat, Symettrical bases arent using Traps and Teslas to their full potential IMOQuote:

they may have a weaker point but a well done unsymmetrical base will exploit this appearance and actually be the strong pointQuote:

Asymmetrical all the way. Honestly make a terrible looking base intentionality with intelligent defense placement and traps and you'll get more raids against from bad players. And from that more successful defences.
Good players are more likely to have successful raids.
I'm sure as I level up the ratio of good/bad players changes...though wars teaches me otherwise.
I have a symmetrical looking unsymmetrical base.
the troops attacking would almost always go in one direction instead of splitting into equal groups. A good way to isolate some and lure most of them to traps.
It also screws symmetrical deployment of baloons.

For me symmetrical rocks
Its more of a case of "does my OCD want me to headbutt a knife" or a symmetrical base
Asymmetrical bases are confusing for the attacker, but they usually have a weak side. I prefer symmetrical ones, OCD all the way :p
a unsymmetrical may be good to the first attacker due to traps and such but if he fails while your sleeping someone else attacks you the traps will then not be replaced and the attack will be outstandingly easy
I had no clue what they were talking about till you cleared that upQuote:

For clan wars always use a symmetrical base. The enemy has enough time to plan on which side to attack from and choose troops that will do better there.
I have a hard time making symmetrical bases, i wish i could make a base with rotational symmetry haha. I usually make asymmetrical bases because i am a bad base designer.
You can't really predict where people will deploy troops when you have symetrical bases.
With unorthodox asymmetrical bases you can force players to deploy troops where you want them. Troop pathing is key to winning defences.
I am not saying you can't troop path with symetrical bases, just saying you can't predict the entry point and that matters.
I like symmetrical because otherwise my OCD starts me twitching.
I prefer symmetrical, most people don't like symmetrical due to not using traps to full potential, thats why always make bases with a megaton of places for traps, and only fill up a few off them, this will make them used to full potential, asymmetrical bases usually have a noobish feel to them and what I usually see with them is that they don't have a proper core, which is, the core, of the base, the most important part always seems to be missing, also, some defences cant aleays be placed properly for good coverage
I'm pretty sure symmetrical bases make it equally as hard to attack from the top/bottom and the right/left but with an unsymmetrical base it might be easier to attack from one side than the other.
I actually find symmetrical bases easier to make. I try to make an asymmetrical base and it ends up looking ♥♥♥♥♥♥ed and inefficient. May try one in the future, but can you or anyone reading this post a pic of a asymmetrical base? I need some motivation lol.
I like both types of bases, but for some reason I'm incapable of making asymmetrical bases. :rolleyes:
Lol i find it disturbing when my base isn't symmetrical
Heres my Asymettrical Anti Hog base I have been using for about Half the time I have been Town hall 9, 100% made by me and easily the best Town hall 9 design I have used (Ive tryed Ringus and many other popular designs, this has worked far better for me)Quote:

My HDT in my signature is totally unsymmetrical. :P i guess some ppl want their bases to be symmetrical cos it provides equal amt of protection. Or perhaps its an OCD by itself. :rolleyes:
Same here.Quote:

207 + 23 = 230
I'm going to make a non symmetrical base to see how it goes
Same. I actually try making an asymmetrical base but my OCD just corrects me and it ends up symmetrical, its funny and weirdQuote:

Asymmetrical bases seem to have more deception and surprise factor as you guys have alreay mentioned. However, if a base is not symmetrical, then it will tend to have a weaker side, while with a symmetrical base, everything is identical to every corner. ( TH9 at least with 4 ads & 4 wts )
Symmetrical bases are easier to make. IMO
I should try making an unsymmetrical base though...
SYMMETRICAL OCD FTW
