Limit opt in/out feature & improve clan war matchmaking

I'm requesting to add limits on the "opt in/out" feature, as far as the number of clan members being taken into a war. I think it's somewhat ridiculous that there's 20 - 30 member clans taking only 10 or 15 people into wars. It's a "clan war", not 1/3 or 1/2 of clan war. It's "clash of clans", not "clash of 30% of clans"

The suggestion is simple, you're allowed to pick and choose who goes into the war, but only down to the next lower war size. for example, if you have 28 members, you're allowed to choose the 3 that will sit out, and participate in a 25 person war. This is as opposed to cherrypicking people and having up to 18 members sit out of the war. If your clan wants to war, you should fight for your clan. Simple.

----------------------

Regarding matchmaking, whatever algorithm is being used to set matches is pretty off. Sometimes the matches aren't even reasonably close. For example, in a recent war my clan participated in, both our bases and troops were WAY outmatched. Levels doesn't give you a 100% true indicator of matchup, but does give you an idea. This was the level ranking in descending order. Our top guy was outranked by 24 levels, middle guy outranked by 10 levels, bottom guy outranked by 11 levels. The matchups sometimes aren't even remotely close.

US
99 88 85 84 80 79 76 75 64 61 = 791 total levels

THEM
123 98 98 92 90 89 82 79 74 72 = 897 total levels

Total is 106 levels or 13.4% outmatched. Can these issues be fixed?

Does not compute. Check your math and please read before posting.

Which part of my math do you think is incorrect? :confused:

No. Players shouldn't be forced to go to war with their clan. Personally I think wars are pointless. All they end up doing is costing me a million elixir in troop donations and attacking and I get nothing back.

Not much less cherry picking than before, where you either outright kicked members or had feeder clans. Opt in/out does much more good than bad. Yes members can be forced to be or not be in war. If they don't like it, say so, and if the leader is a @#$%, you can leave for a better clan (taking as many of your clan members with you and possibly wrecking the stuipd leader' clan for everyone's. good.)

It is just more practical, and give more options for the leaders to use as management tools for running a clan if they can override opt in/out settings.

According to me opt in/out was great idea.

if u got 28 members (out of which 5 are out of station, 8 got school exams, 5 don't want to do war) in that case u are forced to do 10 vs 10 war( or u will lose in a hard way:mad:) .

if we are forced to pick 25 member than either we would have to kick some members or postpone the war.:unsure:

opt in /out lets u have a fair match ( not like 25 vs 10)

according me it was the best update in clan wars.:thumbsup:

The numbers look correct.

The problem is that war strength is not computed by level. I believe from reading somewhere that algorithm includes number and level of walls, buildings, etc.


The ability to select a subset of the clan for war has changed wars very much. Previously, getting members to do their attacks, and do them sensibly, was the most important factor in winning. Now, by only including people motivated to participate, which correlates with people who know what they are doing, its not just about getting stars, but about getting virtually every star.

Averaging 1.6-1.8 new stars per attack is no longer important, you can count on everyone attacking. It is about three-starring every base, and that seems harder.

agreed .

I saw this coming before it happened, but I really could have used a third opt in/out setting... as in, Opt in, but doesn't mind being opted out for the sake of the clan. Because you will always get those akward numbers with member count, and a quick way to communicate important info is always good.

Plus, I really wish the list of people on the opt in/out override was at least sorted by base strength, like in the war map. That is an important factor in judging who is in or out. You can look at the last war, assuming they were in it, to see how they were placed, but an up to date list on strength would be great!

We merged out warless clan and our trainee clan with our adult war clan to take advantage of opt in/opt out. We don’t set war numbers to take advantage of picking our strongest or best. We choose our warring participants based on availilbilty and so far we have never managed higher than 18 or so.

As 30 ppl in three clans, we rarely warred higher than 10v10 or 15v15, so, what’s your argument again ?
