The he idea of a true .5 base is to be able to eat up some attacks while still being able to hit higher on the map. A 8.5 base should not be able to be 3 starred by a th8 and should eat up a lot of early th9 attacks. Meaning strong walls and th8 Max defenses. Facing any decent clan with solid lava defenses and this base becomes a huge liability.Quote:

I'm afraid I don't see the problem.
•Th8s are already easily 3-starred by other th8s. This person had no significant advantage over th8s other than ease of attacking.
•Th9s can all be 3-starred by clever th9 attackers. This person has no advantage over th9s that other th9s don't.
•This person made it ridiculously easy to be 3-starred by a th4.
Am I missing the issue here?

Hogs already have a hard time on a well designed TH8 base (central double biant bomb between defenses hard to pre trigger) but with TH9 (8.5) you get a fourth giant bomb allowing two double bomb locations. These combined give even fully maxed (offensively) TH fits. And that's before you account for the addition of two more storages (gold/elixir) that are 2,000 hit points each...and hundreds more hit points on the clan castle and town hall...and 5 more defending troops in the town hall.
Oh and extra walls to make luring the CC harder before using hogs or a ground based hybrid attack.
Look up Custom War Clan, tag #82LRPOPR, guy has a few accounts similar to that. Takes a lot of work to build, but can wreak havoc in war.
1.) I he would upgrade defenses he would be a high th7 or low th8 by this time. He would require the attack of a high th7 instead of a th5 but as long as each side has tons of th7 attacks left in the end it does not matter at all.
On the other hand he still pulls in only a th7 or low th8 that is 3 stared by any th7 player in the clan while he can 3 star 2 th9s.
2.) Yes this is an abuse of the matchmaking system. Te same way a th 8.5 or 9.5 is an abuse of the matchmaking system. Also th9s maxing walls and heroes instead of going to th10 is an abuse of the matchmaking system. All the elite warclans are instrumented clans where everybody is sacrificing his account to have a base optimized for cw. Why does nobody say they are abusing the system?
This is annoying to me. I know why people do it, but I don't see the appeal. Why harass low TH? It doesn't seem fun at all...and a defenseless base offers no war loot to the attacker, so not only is it hard to 3* for a low TH on account of the 2 heroes and 30 slot CC, but they get nothing back for it. It doesn't seem like it would be any fun, and it's really kind of jerkish.
My two cents...
So people who fully max defenses and put up the strongest new defenses immediately upon completing a town hall are abusing the raid system, right?Quote:

That's very creative outside the box thinking.
