Walls and war strength rating

I am a TH9, max troops, spells, defense. lvl 16 hero's, all lego's. One of my clan mates does not have max defense, troops, lvl 10 hero's etc but has 40 lava walls. He is ranked above me in the war placement. It has come to our clans attention that walls play a massive multiplier in the grand scheme of things, more than we originally thought. Does anyone have a rough estimate how much weight walls have on the war matching/ranking? Judging by all the TH10's we are getting in war matching ( we have no 10's but still win the wars ) it seems walls are weighted heavily. It seems that if you keep lvl 8 walls and max out TH10 you would consistently get an easier war match with this thought. Anyone want to add to this?

From what I have seen walls do not have much weighting at all. Post a pic of both bases if you don't mind

Walls are weighted at the very bottom.

On my clan I'm rated above several other of my clanmates with higher defenses but I have higher walls. So I don't know what to think anymore. :confused:

The defense rating in cw increases in steps. You can check this if you look at the loot you get from enemy bases. If 2 players have similar defense strength they are grouped together and they will give the same loot and the ranking is random.
I had cases if one player had more walls and more defenses but was ranked below.

Walls are not the number 1 factor in cw but they still matter. A player with lvl9 walls is harder to take down then a player with only lvl7 walls especially if you tr to 3 star him and have to go through many walls without wall breakers. It is not so much the time you need to break through but your units start avoiding stronger walls more and go round.

If someone has much stronger walls why should he not get a better defense ranking?

Individually walls are weighted low but that's because cumulatively they can get high.

LOL stop with the nonsense. If they are low for individuals then they would be low for the whole clan. 1/10 and 10/100 is the same thing.

When I got to TH8 I rushed to complete all my walls to lv7 and upgrading the new defenses to par with the rest. At the same time I saw my rating on CW jump up and pass over other player which have been TH8 way longer.

Problem is that my troops are still mostly at TH7 level (except for barb, giant, drag, healer). So I got thrown into stronger opponents with weaker troops. That stinks.

I've since stopped upgrading anything defense-wise.

I need to figure this out to plan ahead and not end up in a bad situation, CW-wise.

My premmie TH9 account used to have purple walls, and now has skulls and some level 9, but is still ranked around 7th in a clan of pretty average TH9, so walls don't make a big difference at all, and neither do troops (mine are ALL maxed except valks) or heroes by the look of it either (I have AQ 15, BK 12; others ahead of me have around 8 in each if that).

By all accounts I am the strongest TH9 in war because I have the best offense, yet I'm ranked 7th because my defenses are roughly those of a maxed TH8 (with level 1 xbows). In other words, the formula for raking people's bases isn't perfect...
