4 Big Ideas and 1 small idea

Dear Supercell,
LOVE Clash of Clans! Been Playing since October 2012 and now leading a clan called Tha Misfitz! Anyhow, after speaking with others in the clan, I think we came up with some BIG ideas that will make the game more fun and attract more players. I will list them in order of most important to least.

1: Clan War matching. Please choose match-ups more evenly. (We did a 15-15 war, and went against 6 townhall 10's and we only had 3. Their top 3 bases had gemmed over $5,000 in upgrades)... not fair for us who only spent several hundred dollars. (I have over 100,000 donations and am level 123. Donations distort my actual base defensive level and might make for an uneven matchup.

2: Allow Clan Members to practice against each others war bases for cheap or free (nobody loses any resources, because that might make defender resentful). Maybe allow leader to toggle whether war practice is allowed and either Supercell or Leader of clan can limit the # of times per day we can attack each other. (THIS WOULD BE TONS OF FUN and give us something else to do between regular attacks)!!!!

3: Lower or Eliminate lightning bolt damage to dark elixir storage. What's the point of farming, when any idiot can just drop lightning on your dark elixir storage :(

4: Remove 50% big bomb damage bonus to hog riders. Hog riders have been nerfed enough from last few updates. As you know, they have reduced hitpoints, cost more, and with smart defending for heroes, they are hard enough to use. Use to be fun to use, now hog riders stink and die too fast.

5: Post name of who donated troops to your clan castle. Allow us to recognize who hooked us up so we can remember them.

This is my first time writing to Supercell. I really hope if anyone reads this, they will seriously consider my suggestions, as I put a ton of time into this game, and my recommendations to make it even more FUN!

Thank you kindly for your time,
-Justin Ford

Okay I'll give you a quick summary of what is wrong with these ideas.

1. CW matchmaking is about as even as it can get. Yes, it can be unfair at times, but SC has said if we want a more even matchup it could take up to 8 hours. I may be wrong, but I believe the clash community would rather have the current system.

2. This could be abused in many ways, for example: I copy an opponents war base and my clanmates keep attacking it until they find the most succesful strategy.

3. If you want to prevent people from zapping you, upgrade your dark elixir storage or out your town hall inside. Most zappers wont sacrifice cups to gain some DE. If neither of these options appeal to you, then deal with the zapping. When I get zapped, it's no more than 2,000, which is one raid.

4. Hogs are fun and easy to use, it's all about choosing the correct base. If you find a base you can hog, they can be just as deadly before the 50% damage bonus was added.

5. This is not needed, why do we need to know who donated what? Simply ask the player if you are that interested.

I'd personally prefer longer (not 8 hours long, maybe 2+ still) but more equal match making. This would be a problem for clans that war all the time though
2. This could be abused in many ways, for example: I copy an opponents war base and my clanmates keep attacking it until they find the most succesful strategy.
Agreed
3. If you want to prevent people from zapping you, upgrade your dark elixir storage or out your town hall inside. Most zappers wont sacrifice cups to gain some DE. If neither of these options appeal to you, then deal with the zapping. When I get zapped, it's no more than 2,000, which is one raid.
It's not like people get zapped all the time, it's better than getting your based completely destroyed, and it gives lower level players a chance to get revenge against stronger players. Besides, drills will get you more than you lost by the time your shield is gone, unless you keep breaking it
4. Hogs are fun and easy to use, it's all about choosing the correct base. If you find a base you can hog, they can be just as deadly before the 50% damage bonus was added.
Hogs were definitely overpowered even if they were nerfed a couple of times. The quality of the nerf matters more than the quantity. I'm pretty sure heroes cause just as much problems too which is probably why hogs are dying but this 50% is needed because hogs could survive double big bombs depending on the base you hit. I've seen TH7 lv1 hogs beat TH9 a couple of times, and not all of them was rushed immensely
5. This is not needed, why do we need to know who donated what? Simply ask the player if you are that interested.
While not needed, it would be useful especially for clans that don't fill requests within 20 minutes and that credit for donation is more important. Especially at lower level clans, people like to be thanked for giving out dragons

Your donations don't have any effect on your 'score' for matchmaking.
That comes entirely from your defenses, walls, heroes, and troop upgrades.

I also don't know how you can tell how much someone gemmed, but we'll just have to believe you.
You don't mention what the bottom bases were...

Matching 6 TH10s and 9 TH4s against you may have made this a completely legitimate and fair match.
(I am not supporting matchmaking which can be bad, just pointing out that there is nothing like enough information for us to tell)

level is not counted for clan war matching and its impossible for it to be fair unless you wait like 12 hours

Or not be full of TH9/10 so that there are more target options. It takes less than 5 minutes for me nearly every time

The donators of cc troops are recognized when they donate. The receiver gets a message stating what was donated and from who.

I think that OP wants a log of donators, maybe a public one too. Or maybe it was for war castles

He is talking about the clan war cc, which unless you ask who donated have no way of knowing who donated.
Which would be really helpful, if someone donates troops that the guy doesn't want, I can rid of the guy that donated, which again is really helpful.

Firstly, if it took a little longer to get a match-up that is more even, so be it. If it took a couple hours, I think most would sacrifice that time for a good line-up so they don't get there war stats wrecked by someone like "Reddit Troopers." If it takes 6 hours for matchup, then allow the option to reduce the 24 hour preparation by up to 6 hours (so clans that have a certain start time each weekend), can start war the same time each week.

Secondly, good point about people abusing the practice mode. Would it be very difficult to disable practice mode during a war or prep???

Thirdly, lightning on dark elixir storage. A th9 can use 4 lightnings on a th8, steal more than th 8 can recover from it in over a day based on a maxed level 3 drill. Just an example, but it's obnoxious as hell. I will move my th inside and try though.

Fourthly, 2 level 3 big bombs (225 damage each) combined is guaranteed death for maxed level 5 hog riders W/O the 50% damage bonus. The infernos prevent healing of the hogs, and high level bases can destroy the hogs fast with only 450 hp and an inferno set to multiple.

Fifthly, I was mostly referring to names of donators in clan wars, but also if you log off for a few minutes after requesting and come back to see something nice, like wizards in clan castle and want to remember the donator. It's no fun to go fishing for the person who donated and clog the message board or interrupt another's conversation over that....

Would really like to hear back from a Supercell employee! Don't mind random people's opinions as long as they aren't rude about it...

Thanks,
-Justin

I agree to options #1,3,5. These can help players get better.

1: Clan War matching. Please choose match-ups more evenly. (We did a 15-15 war, and went against 6 townhall 10's and we only had 3. Their top 3 bases had gemmed over $5,000 in upgrades)... not fair for us who only spent several hundred dollars. (I have over 100,000 donations and am level 123. Donations distort my actual base defensive level and might make for an uneven matchup. While this may seem more fun, I actually have fun wrecking terrible clans and losing to better clans. Similar to normal raids, there are easier and harder bases out there, and the mix of them is fun.

2: Allow Clan Members to practice against each others war bases for cheap or free (nobody loses any resources, because that might make defender resentful). Maybe allow leader to toggle whether war practice is allowed and either Supercell or Leader of clan can limit the # of times per day we can attack each other. (THIS WOULD BE TONS OF FUN and give us something else to do between regular attacks)!!!! Practice/sandbox raids are ruled out.

3: Lower or Eliminate lightning bolt damage to dark elixir storage. What's the point of farming, when any idiot can just drop lightning on your dark elixir storage :( Enough complaints on zapping DE haha. TH10 myself and hate getting zapped, but I kinda understand TH7s needing to do it for the king, tho the skilled ones can do without

4: Remove 50% big bomb damage bonus to hog riders. Hog riders have been nerfed enough from last few updates. As you know, they have reduced hitpoints, cost more, and with smart defending for heroes, they are hard enough to use. Use to be fun to use, now hog riders stink and die too fast. Used to be OP and similar to dragons when used. Now the real skilled hog users still utilize them, while the ones that spammed hogs and spells can't do anything.

5: Post name of who donated troops to your clan castle. Allow us to recognize who hooked us up so we can remember them. There are popups when troops are donated , no?

1 and 2 I'd love to see implemented, they're all great ideas, but these.......

3 - Lightning is inefficient, and if you're high enough in trophies it should be a non-issue. I'm only in crystal 3 (really Gold 1, but I pass 2000, then drop but make sure I'm above 1900 for the bonus :p), and even when I'm sitting around with tens of thousands I never get zapped. While I don't zap myself, I'd hope that SC has other things to focus on when it comes to game additions

4 - Earlier low lvl hogs could demolish bases when used right, I feel this forces players to upgrade them if they want to use them, which is great! A low lvl troop shouldn't be able to wipe out a high level base with little to no trouble. And tbh, heroes (unless you're pushing really high and are consistently fighting maxed ones), really don't do all that much. A heal or rage spell usually gets most of the hogs through no problem.

5 - You can see who donated if you stay on your village, besides there'd be no good place to store that info. And now that you can delete troops from regular CC, you won't have to hunt down the person that gave you a barb :rolleyes:
Same as zapping, I'd prefer SC be working on something like a new dark troop or something, instead of having to reformat everything to show you who donated what
