then you're in the wrong league. TH8 stomps every TH7 in clan wars too, it's the natural progression. upgrade and get over it.

I dunno man just keep changing your layout untill it works.
6wiz1arch in CC, GG giants
the main threat is the AQ , most of the time all their tanks are dead but the AQ snipes storages.
Small fish always gets eaten by big fish. The only thing you can do is minimize the damage. That can be done by two simple things:
1) Manage your resources efficiently. This means scheduling your workers effectively and being smart about when to ride a free shield and when to cancel it.
2)A good base design.
If you consider the above two then it's very unlikely that a guy will hit you w/ a 120K army and then use another 120K on spells.
I have always loved attacking low. It's the most economical, fastest way of going up. Forget boosting three rax for balloonian when u can boost one rax and cook a 100-120K army in 10 minutes.
Anyways...th8 has lots of loot. If you aren't coming across th7 inactives then u are in the wrong trophy range. IMO 1500-1700 is the best for a th8. 1600 being the sweet spot.
Th7's get picked by Th8's and Th9's get picked by Th10's. It's the food chain here.
Try some other base design. A Giant based Army shouldn't be able to three star your base.
Try Silver 1, Gold 3. I raid the storages of TH7's using BAG + heal(if necessary). Also I get sniped a lot despite having 2.5 mill of each.
