Three stars is the very best you can get on a base, so there has to be a difference between a good raid and a really good one

I agree, that is why i titled my thread "Please stop buffing defense" and not "make defense weaker"
I dont like skele traps, but that may just be a personal thing.

I'm winning a lot more defenses against Champions. Of my last 40 defenses, I have won 15... I attribute this to the increase in hit points to the support buildings because my defenses are far from being maxed (I think I have a good layout though).

Needless to say I think is a change for the better IMHO.

With the recent updates I think we are approaching parity between offense and defense finally. I absolutely agree that we should be able to 3 star an equal level base. I don't think it should be easy it should take good planning and understanding of how the troops move.

If anything I still think the game is unbalanced in favor of offense but it's not as drastic as it used to be.

Do you think that they should keep making defense stronger? Or do you think it's fine how it is now?

un

It depends on the level of TH. As an example TH7's need to get buffed Air Defenses. It's still too easy to 3 star them in a war. TH8's and TH9's are in good shape if anything they can tweak the point defense units a bit more but I'll see how the new Archer Towers are in the long term. I think it's too easy to 2 star a Th9 with a TH8 with a maxed GoWiPe.

Well if 3 stars was more possible then wouldn't that make 2 stars a lot more easy? Or put it to the point where winning a defense isn't possible?

Some may think this is a good thing, but it isn't. 3 starring is a part of this game, if these defense buffs keep up, we will only see it in low level gameplay. Im not saying that 3 stars dont happen anymore on high level bases, but they are much more rare, and many of the 3 star attacks we see today are hog based. 3 starring should be possible with various army comps. Please stop buffing defense. . . . . . .
comment if you agree. Haters gon' hate, potatoes gon' potate.

3-starring should be a part of clan wars, but should be a rarity during regular play (i.e. farming). In order to 3-star a base that is anywhere near your TH level you should have to have a ridiculously powerful army that takes way too much time and elixir to be worth making for normal play. The reason is simple, 3-starring a base involves taking all the loot a base has to offer. Taking loot from storages does nothing to help the economy (and thus nothing to help the overall gameplay of the players). Loot is created by collectors and league bonuses. That is what we want to see more of. The more loot that is taken from inactive collectors and the more raids that are won in any way for the league bonus, the more we can all build our bases and be happy.

You may enjoy 3-starring a base, but no one enjoys being 3-starred. It is a zero sum game. You gain storage loot and the satisfaction of a 3-star win. Someone else loses the exact same amount of storage loot and has the dissatisfaction of being 3-starred. Unlike 1-star wins, there is no net benefit to the community.

oh right, honestly didn't realise that lol
Personally I think we are at quite a good balance at the moment, plus all the defence buffs could be the sign of an impending offense buff. I don't think any of the changes thus far were unreasonable although they did take a while to get used to (which is a good thing, keeps us on our toes), and I trust that any changes in the future will not be game-breaking.

Well I enjoyed the game pre update but to be honest I don't mind the buff to defenses that much.
What they should is fix the clanwar matchmaking.
That's something I want changed.
