Rushed Town Halls and War Matches

Rushed Town Halls can really mess up a war match. Why not set some limitations to when you can upgrade a TH? For example, if you're TH9 you can't upgrade wizard towers to level 8 until you're TH10. Why not reverse that and say you cannot upgrade your Town Hall until you reach a certain number/level of defenses?

This idea was discussed in our clan chat after our most recent war match. If you look at clan tag #882VYYG2, checkout the player profile #JQ2UGCCO. This player was ranked lowest in the war match, but he was a TH10 with inferno towers and maxed troops. His other defenses were extremely low or not built, keeping his ranking extremely low. This player was matched against a low level TH8 in our clan.

Those that have rushed Towns Halls will not like a change like this, of that I'm almost certain. But I think setting peramiters around when you can upgrade a Town Hall will be extremely beneficial in the long run, especially for the serious players that get frustrated with uneven war matches.

My personal opinion about this subject is that every player gets to choose how he/she plays the game. If they want to rush their TH, then it is their own choice whether to do it or not, and SuperCell shouldn't intervene in this. I will be honest now, I rushed my th from TH8 to TH9, since I wanted the Queen. I must say I totally dominated at the beginning since I maxed my troops, so I can now say I would do it again every time if I'd have choice.
This being said, I am against this idea and I feel like players should be able to choose how they play at their free will.

Maybe it is up to an individual on whether or not they want to rush their TH, but by doing so it messes up war matches for clans without a doubt. I for one am tired of uneven matches happening because of rushed bases. Clans don't like rushed TH's....just look at COC Builder. Every other recruitment thread says "no rushed TH allowed". There is a reason why they don't want rushed players...

Exactly Flynnstone, serious clans don't like rushed THs. Our clan actually has a rule about not rushing your base, and I know many other clans do as well. I mean, how can a player have TH7 or 8 defenses but be a TH10? Whether you're in a clan or not, playing catch up eventually gets boring and/or frustrating and those players tend to be the ones that go inactive more often than not.

I've discussed this very same thing with clanmates. It's a tough call. You can't tell people how to play, but maybe the game should set a rule for who can participate in clan wars. For example, TH10 could have a minimum level of 100 to be eligible for clan wars. TH9 could have a min level of 85, and just go down the line from there. This would allow people to upgrade their base how they want to, but restrict war privileges for the extremely rushed bases. It would definitely help with war match ups.
And as for upgrading to TH9 just for a queen, I don't see how that could have worked out well for you devil9394. Maybe you dominated in single player matches and your war attacks, but I can't imagine that your base held up in wars too good. As it says in the tips when you log in - having a strong defense is just as important as strong attacking. If your enemy is always gaining 3 stars on your base during war because of weak defenses, thats not a win and that's why clans don't want rushed TH's.

People are free to do whatever they want to in this game
if it wasn't like that people won't like the game as much as now
but u, u can make restrictions in ur clan and don't accept rushed THs that would be ur solution ;)

This is probably the best idea for fixing the war match problem that I've heard. The only people that will give Supercell pushback for a change like this would be the ones that are very rushed. The simple fact is, rushed TH's ARE the problem when the game is trying to find a war match.
So here is some food for thought - look at it from a business standpoint. The serious players are probably the gem buyers (money makers) more often than not. These are typically the non rushed players that are frustrated over bad war matches. I'm not saying that a change should be made strictly to appease the ones that spend money, but it's certainly a realistic consideration.

Gem buyers are definitely a consideration, but that's not why I want the change. I just want a better playing experience. When my clan is evenly matched, the war is fun. Clan members are excited to play, even if we lose after a close call. But when we are out ranked by a ton because of an uneven match, it's bad because we knew we never stood a chance from the beginning. But I feel the same about a reversed situation - if we are paired up against a lower level clan, we get the win, but it isn't exciting. Everyone just goes through the routine motions of getting attacks done for the loot.

I know that not everyone will be happy, as people will complain about anything given the opportunity. But it seems to be the simplest solution to the problem, because rushed TH's are the biggest reason for bad war matches.

to be honest i don't mind the rushed bases, easy pickings and i get full loot, fact is if you play the game the way it was intended you upgrade faster, if you rush then you have to upgrade everything and you have less loot available to you so it takes longer

Problem: Rushed bases messing up war matchmaking.

Solution: DON'T EXCEPT RUSHED BASES IN THE FIRST PLACE!
