Clan Merging

It should be easier to merge clans. Clan leaders should be able to send other leaders merge requests, where they could decide to the terms of the merger, like name, trophy count, and new leader. Nobody would actually have to leave their clans, they would just combine. Also, the leaders should be able to keep their rank, because that's often the deal breaker when discussing merging clans.

If the total members would exceed 50, then the merging would work like it does now, with members quitting their clan and joining the other until it fills up.

What happens if the members together equal more that 50?

I don't think most of the succesfull clan merges happened over a night, but more likely took some time. I don't see how just sending a request would help improving that, I think it would actually result in less successfull merges.
Just my 2 cents.
