TH snipers are a double edge sword, they give you a free shield to protect your loot while also doing the same for others taking a lot of potential loot off the table.

The idea is if you wanted to defend with them you'd probably do better putting them behind walls. Trapping the TH does one thing - It makes the raider angry. Thats all.Quote:

I agree with this 100% - losing TH should give you a large % of the base total resources so people have to protect it. I don't think people realize this is the core of the problem with loot. 80% of everyone that has resource has a shield up at all times at the cost of nothing but a few trophies. This is why I always take as much from them as I can as I despise the tactic and it is bad for the game.Quote:

They are happy because they've been able to save more and you are happy because you have a fat cat to hit.
Additionally, if more active players have shields, then you dont have to next as far into inactive collector raids.
Right now, I have to next through a ton of trophy pushers with no loot before I find either a farmer with good loot or an inactive collector raid...
Honestly, except for achievements, I dont understand trophy pushing before maxing. What does it prove? What have you accomplished? You show everyone where the natural glass ceiling is for your development?
here is the thing sniping townhalls is all good and well but make sure you are not snipping the super fat juicy targets. 150k or less gold 150k or less elixer you can snipe that if you want but dont snipe 200K+ loot bases when one more next will probably give you better trophies for your snipe on a base with no loot. chances are the juicy loot base you sniped are hardcore farmers and super active players and they will likely get revenge on you taking all those trophies back + all your loot. its in snipers best intrest to only snipe bases with little to no loot.
your th sniping anyway so one more next wont hurt you because you want to keep your loot low.
this is only for gold leagues and lower. do what you got to do for the higher leagues because far less people have they townhall out. but in gold leagues and lower tons of people do.

That would make me lose many troops on the snipe, giving me less troops to take out the storages. Some trappers do it for the lols as well. But there is some strategy to it as wellQuote:

I know for sure it would work better and their would be more juicy targets to farm if leaving out TH was removed from play. There should be serious consequence for losing TH - on the measure of % resources of the base. It's the capital of your city, it needs to be worth something.Quote:

There is no single benefit from protecting TH other than testing base's defense.
