No losing shield until you actually attack

One thing that I think should be changed is the fact that searching for a match causes you to lose a shield. I understand that attacking causes you to lose your shield but I think it would be better if you didn't lose your shield until you actually place troops down and attack. We have all spent long amounts of time searching for a match worth the troop cost to attack. Sometimes you get bored of searching for a match and decide to try again later. But you have already lost your shield! Same thing with revenge attacks. We have no idea of how much loot we will actually get when attacking, we can guess by scouting out the defender but we never really know till we click revenge. If it's lower then we thought we can back out, but again we have lost out shield. Even if we are searching for a match and then get interrupted with a phone call and have to close the app, we lose out on the shield cause we started searching. By the time the phone call ends we could have lost another 200k of our resources which is just not right. I think this would be an easily implemented change and helpful too.

No. You don't get to search for bases and keep your shield if you don't find anything you want to attack.

Think how this will affect attacking in higher levels... Masters, Champs, could be manipulated easily.

Give me an example. People will still attack and lose a shield. It's not like this feature will do anything except help those who have something come up when trying to find a match. People still aren't able to be attacked when they are online so searching with a shield still in effect doesn't really change anything unless you decide not to attack at that moment.

It makes it far easier to attack for loot and trophies with less penalty. No.

You know
When you think about it from the two sides, both sides are right.

I didn't attack, why my shield was broken?
Especially for high trophy players who may search for a long time without finding anything or maybe just a one trophy offer which he take and then get destroyed for -10 or more.

But, for farmers:
Let's search, If I don't find anything, I have nothing to lose.
If he broke his shield, he will get resources
but, if he doesn't, the loot is still safe.

Maybe they should make this idea just for the titan and legend league players

What you're describing is a problem with the trophy system. It doesn't get solved byletting people keep their shields...in fact that makes the problem worse.

How does it make it worse? You keep saying it does but you never give any reasons why. This makes perfect sense. If you attack someone you lose a shield. If you don't attack you don't lose a shield. Simple as that. You can scout out with a shield but once you place a troop down you lose it. It will benefit everyone. The worst possible thing that could come out of this is that matchmaking could take a little longer possibly. But that's not for sure. There really is no con to this idea. It benefits everyone and doesn't hurt anyone.

You've clearly stated that there are no cons in this idea, however, the reality is that every idea has their pros & cons.

'The worst possible thing that could come out of this is matchmaking could take a little longer possibly'. Isn't that a con? :facepalm: I am just stating the truth! :thumbsup:

Aren't Titan / Legend players waiting long enough to just find a single one cup offer?

Also, you should seriously add a poll to this thread, to see what other people think, and what they would personally choose! :thumbsup:
