Champs League/Low Trophy Offerings
I am a longtime farmer (1B+ GG) and clan war enthusiast, but after I maxed all defenses and finished lvl9 walls, I decided to take a shot at Champions League. With one gem hero and spell boost, I figured this was my best shot. I am a decent attacker with GoWiPe and GoWiWi, though certainly no expert, and I surprised myself by making it to 3280 with relatively little resistance, my defense doing the lions' share of the work.
This morning after another defense win overnight (+28), I sat at 3308. I had an army and spells built, and I began searching. In the 30 or so minutes I had to search, I did not see a single Champions League base. Nearly all of what I saw were Masters II and III bases for 1-6 trophies. In the 3200s, I had a been seeing decent offerings from time to time at least, with 10-12 trophies regularly offered and the occasional 20+. Not a single base over 10 trophies now. With a screaming child in the other room and a wife rapidly losing her patience, I found a 9 trophy offering in Masters I that I didn't really like, but I hit it anyway and predictably lost for a -33. I signed off and immediately got one-starred (50% to Barch) for a -12.
I read the forums casually and have seen discussions of the poor trophy offerings in Champs and the need to stay online for hours on end to make any upward progress. I had believed (likely incorrectly) that those issues would start much higher, like near 4000. Have I at 3300 trophies reached the ceiling, i.e. searching at length for bases with very few trophies offered? Or is it unusual at that level to have difficulty finding a Champs League player to hit? Perhaps the one gem boost has caused some shift in where that line is? My fundamental question is this: Can a casual player (doing an attack, then waiting three hours to rebuild army/spells) realistically expect to go any higher than this?
This is not a complaint post, I really don't care what the answer is. I exceeded my own expectations by even getting to Champs, and I will happily crawl back under the rock I came from. I just want to make sure that I have reached approximately the upper limit of where a casual player can advance without gemming and/or playing more than an hour or so each day (neither of which I can/will do).
Anyway, thanks for any knowledge or advice you can share. And if you want to join me in trophy retirement, my clan "The SPC" is constantly warring and always looking for good attackers.

The TH 9's were 15-19. But most TH 10's were in the 10 or less category- as a GoWiPe or GoWiWi myself, I had to choose very carefully, what was spent verses outcome- personally I don't care as long as the loot pushes me over the million mark, or a sniper offering 20 plus cups- but the downside is playing the full 2 hour boost to maximize your raid rally each day then log off to get the shield. Casual play doesn't apply unless you've pushed your way up near 4K then you got some staying power to play casual.
Bottom line if you got more to upgrade like I do, who cares what league your in as long as the stuff gets done, then push on again if you want.
How would you see good resource offerings from the baby snipers? TH penalties make them worth almost nothing, plus the fact that they will NEVER EVER get skipped in matchmaking mean they are virtually never seen.
Youre talking like you see loads, i might get one in a 2-4 week push.
IGN as well as clan please, lets do some profile checking.
Lastly to OP, youre not quite at the casual play limit yet, as i said before, traffic should die down quite a bit in next few days. Youll see reasonable cup offers in under 30 mins search. Its 3500+ at least really where it gets very time consuming.
Crazy matchups over the weekend!
We've been seeing consistently silly matchups over the weekend and continuing into Monday. For example, 4290 cups being hit by 3190 Master 1, difference of 1100 cups. Also an even worse case where a 2600 cupper hit a 4400, difference of 1800 cups! SC should fix this anomally quick!:mad:
Never say Never my pompous friend

It truly amazes me how some people think they know everything about the game- I however don't pretend to know nor expect to explain a simple fluke that simply just happens from time to time no matter what level of play you are. I was just making an observation of my experience entering Champs league- and to my surprise ran into a bunch of baby snipers by what I'd like to call "dumb luck". Since then however you are right- I rarely see any of these guys in attack searches- perhaps because I've moved on to more cups, nevertheless, it happened wether you believe it or not my doubting Thomas friend- haven't seen that before or since- it just struck me funny and I presumed that that was the norm of what to find crossing over into champs- "NEVER" really? Common dude give me a break. You know as well as I do matchmaking raids are never the same and change day to day depending on how active everyone is- so Excuse the heck out of me- ♥♥♥♥♥
