Somehow I feel that SC is trying to go in the same path as Jungle Heat by jh.my.com

So matchmaking is even worse for TH10. Awesome. It's so much fun having to next through 300 bases to find one that isn't maxed out and impossible to 3 star.

With that said, Matchmaking changes are an improvement. I have tested in game and Clan Wars and Regular matches are noticeably better.:thumbsup:

You still suck though Jonas hire a new building architecture artist for the love of God...

Air Sweeper, 12-13 canon, infernos are soooo AWFUL man it hurts my soul to even look at them. Please retexture

Yeah, the new graphics are painful. The leaf blower...I mean "air sweeper" is a joke and I think they just put it in the update to give people something new. The level 13 cannons they did a while back.....they look like children's toys....a toy cannon on little red wheels. SuperCell hit a home run with Clan Wars, but since then, they have been going backwards with these updates and losing a lot of players to other games.

New matchmaking

We've done some subtle multiplayer matchmaking balancing in order to better protect players with low level Town Halls. After these changes, all players will be more likely to find multiplayer opponents that are at or near their Town Hall level, regardless of Trophy count. For more details, read below.

As armies and Heroes get stronger and stronger, the threat (and temptation) of crushing weaker players with a decked out Town Hall 9 or 10 army becomes ever more present. However, for a player at a low Town Hall level, there are few things more discouraging and frustrating than being completely demolished by a disproportionately powerful attacker who is vastly further in the game.

It is a constant goal of ours to better motivate and incentivize players to attack opponents at their level of skill and progress. League Bonuses and Town Hall loot penalties have helped in this regard, but to improve the situation further still, we've gone straight to the multiplayer matchmaking alorithms. Now, matchmaking will pay special attention to the Town Hall level of a player going to attack, and will look for targets that are at a similar Trophy count AS WELL as at a similar Town Hall level. For example, a player at Town Hall level 9 in the Bronze league will be very likely to find opponents at Town Hall levels 8-10 who are also in the Bronze league.

For most players who are attacking at a Trophy level appropriate to their progress in the game, little or no change will be apparent in their multiplayer matchmaking searches. However, for players who have dropped to a very low Trophy count, these changes will inhibit (though not completely prevent) matchmaking against significantly weaker targets. These players will instead be matched more often to other players at a similar Town Hall level who have also dropped to a very low Trophy count. In the cases where there are very few appropriately-leveled targets available, these players may have to wait longer in matchmaking to find targets.

This behavior also takes effect in the opposite direction; weaker players will be less likely to be matched against disproportionately strong players. For example, a player at Town Hall level 5 in the Silver league will be very likely to find opponents at Town Hall levels 4-6 who are also in the Silver league.

As a special note, matchmaking in Champion league has been left as-is and will not have any special Town Hall considerations.

Hopefully, these changes will give newer players a much better multiplayer experience, and will make the game fairer for all. Thanks for reading, fellow Clashers, and Clash on!

dear Clash of Clans,

the new match making really really sucks.

i have two accounts and I am a semi-professional console gamer. Semi-pro because I'm not making enough money to leave my actual job yet. I am telling you this because I experience this everyday and sadly I actually care about CoC.

- new TH10 lvl122
- new TH9 lvl100

These bases are not rushed and I have really taken my time to get them where they are. Patience and gems.
i gave up this game once before and it was because the match making was so terrible.
you would hit the next button for ages looking for a decent base to attack and when you found one 40 minutes had passed and the trophies or loot wasn't worth it.

i am probably wasting my time telling you this but making the match making this strict will ruin the game for many players.
dropping trophies to farm won't be the same.
th5's sniping to get to masters or champs while dropping lightning spells on your dark elixer.

think about it, you will be taking all the adhoc fun things out of the game and when too often a player has to attack the same base because it is in line with their progress in the game, it will become boring and a grind. I can name a few games that I gave up on due to changes like this.

why am I actually bothering?
you probably won't care anyway.
Should I give up the game for good?

Why are you looking to 3 star TH10s in normal game play?

Because I consider anything less to be a defeat. I'm not going to waste 4 hours of troop training and 500k elixir just to get 1 star and 3 trophies. Would take years to get anywhere doing that.

It's also insanely boring seeing pretty much the same bases over and over in nexting. "Oh another TH10 with max IT's max XBows, and level 10 walls"...*next*. I haven't done multiplayer in weeks because of how boring / time consuming it is. This update makes it even worse since there's not going to be anymore TH8's or TH9's to beat up on.

This Matchmaking is ruining my way to get in champions league. Im since lvl 85 a new th9 with maxed th8 defenses. But now i cant push and farming will be horrible. In the past it doesn't care what th lvl you have. And now i match maxed th 9 and maxed th 10 bases.
There are less offers now to 3 star bases.

So Supercell you ruined my gameplay.
And make it pls more confortable for finding offers because its ♥♥♥♥ now.

Do TH5's lightning your DE when there is no storage until TH7?
It seems like such a waste.

You missed the point.

You exaggerated in an attempt to make a point. But I understand what you mean.

Since this is a game where people feed off the resources of others, I expect that any matching making change
will be good for some people and bad for others. I think what matters is whether it is a generally a postive or
negative change for most players. For me it is positive.
