Clan War Leagues

Idea Summary:
- a pyramid style league structure for all clans to try to climb to the top with promotions and demotions (like European football leagues)
- weekly league games (i.e. wars), one war per week would be for league if clans want to participate in league, other wars per week for fun/perks/loot
- NOT similar to current player league structure


Why?
because it's not a hard feature to add, most of the pieces are already in place, and it adds GREATLY to team play and long-term purpose!


Idea Details:
below is an example of how it could be implemented, there are other ways too of course.

- either pick a standard #v# for clan league, or if you can make it work, have multiple league ladders for 10v10, 20v20, 30v30, 40v40 (each clan must choose one ladder to climb, they can change later but will go to lowest division)
- leagues are structured in a pyrimd style (similar to Hattrick if anyone's played that before). There is one top league (let's call it Division 1), then 2 division 2 leagues, 4 div3, 8 div4, 16 div5, etc
- with one game/war a week, and 8-10 clans/teams per league, it would take 8-10 weeks for one season
- at the end of the season, the top team in each league gets a promotion to the higher league. And the 2 lowest teams in each league get a demotion to the lower leagues
- point system is 2 or 3 points for win, 1 point for tie, 0 points for loss. if two teams are tied, then star difference is the tie breaker (stars won in your league games less stars lost)
- there could be a loot reward for finishing top 1-2 or 3. i'd say gems, but i know supercell doesn't like to give gems as reward to anyone but top players/teams, so gold/elix/DE would be fine too (this is to give reward to #2 or #3 teams in the league since they just missed out on promotion)


Background:
i'm not a big fan of neverending farming/upgrade cycle that coc was originally, so I had quit until clan wars came in, which was a great (and obvious) feature since it added a major team work and strategic warfare elements to the game. what it's lacking now is a purpose for the clan wars aside from just loot and clan perks

What do you guys think?

There are reasons that Clan Perks have been added into the game. Clan leagues would just be a waste of time and a duplicate. I disagree with this.

it's a completely different feature. clan perks is something your clan works towards by itself. it's like a single player, has nothing to do with competition.

this league structure is basically how clans would be competing against each other. it gives a long term purpose for each clan. and it's a whole new consideration with players, are they good enough to join a higher clan or do they wanna be the star player in a lower clan? or just be with the same clan from its humble beginnings at a lower league and help it climb through the leagues.

right now you're just competing on trophies with other clans, and it's a indirect competition since you're never going head to head with the clans your competing with. This way, you have to compete with 8-10 teams in your league to advance. each game/war becomes so much more important in that context, and you end up following the progress of other clans in your league.


i can't see how a those of us sports fans would not like this idea. and for the rest, if you like clan competition, this is far beyond what's available right now.

I have always wanted to write something similar, but my laziness stopped me every time.
"Hattrick" would be the same example that I would made.


It is a wonderful idea!

wanted to revive this to see if more people can give their opinions thanks!
