We still want our heroes in wars!!!!

I was really disappointed to see that the hero problem in wars isn't covered in this update. Hero strength is considered when match making but in the actual war you cannot use them?!

To be honest I doubt that this is a technical issue, it's rather all about selling gems and your revenue. The Clan levels are just another incentive to buy gems and awake your heroes. So as long as you don't release the heroes for wars you have to find another solution to balance the game. You can see easily that this is the most requested feature and almost all Clash players agree: WE WANT OUR HEROES IN WARS!!!!

So I think there are only a small amount of solutions for this problem:

1. Leveling heroes without waiting time until a certain level, e.g. you can upgrade them to level 25 without waiting time and after that you have to wait or buy gems. Right now it's too expensive to get your heroes up, just to reduce the waiting time you have to pay like 700 gems each time (level 15 heroes and up), so this is an easy equation:
25 LVL*700 gems = 17500 gems. For both Heroes this is 35000 gems which is much more than 200 USD/€. And in this equation the cost for D elixier isn't even included.

2. When hero is upgrading consider this while searching for an enemy. As you can't use your hero for offense this should take effect in the matchmaking process to get an adequate clan war enemy. The upgrading hero needs to be blocked for the war to prevent gemming once an enemy was found.

These two options could be technically challenging but it's definitely not impossible. So please SC do something about this problem in the game because not everyone can afford to buy gems for every upgrade and it takes a lot of fun out of the game.

I respectfully disagree!

Heroes that are in the process of being upgraded have always been unavailable for offensive purposes, same as spell factories and army camps.

There is always a trade-off when ugprading heroes that you need to consider: Yes, the heroes are unavailable for some time but after that they will be of a higher level and stronger!

You can always sit out a war if you want or attack lower targets than you would normally or simply adjust your war strategy to rely less on heroes (e.g. lavaloonion / loonian).

Sure it was. Opt-out until your hero is done, then opt back in. No more wars without hero's. Problem solved.

This could have been done already!!!

If you read through the history of this topic and SC's replies to it you would understand that it could not be done already. It is apparently a very large code change that is far wider reaching than just hero's. They didn't say it was impossible, but they were very clear that it was not easy.

Sorry but that's not a solution! Before the update you could say: Leave Clan until your hero is done, then come back...
This means to me in short, pay or stop playing. Since CoC is a Free-to-Play game it should be free to have a balanced competition in Clan Wars.

And if you pay, you get more than those who don't along with the advantage that comes with that more. SC needs ways to encourage gem purchasing. Their company depends on it. If they don't sell gems you don't get to play CoC.

Lol your logic isn't straight....Come on!....Who wants to sit back for 7 days and watch his/her clan war and lose each and everyone just because you are unable to attack your level......Consider for those who upgrade their heroes just after the upgrade (7 days that is enough to farm a lot!!)...You want to sit tight for 2 whole months just because Supercell refuses to provide you with heroes in war...
I would appreciate the Starter of the Thread's concern that heroes are taken into matchmaking...but you can't use them for offense? I mean they were supposed to be a dual thing for war....Then that means they can't defend in war...And as for Spells, Dark Barracks, you don't keep upgrading unless you are too low with them.

A lot of people, myself included only still play this game because of war..ie, to me it gives it purpose. Why do I want to opt out of war every 7 days.. it's too long and I will just end up getting bored and stop playing.
