Choosing your war-level preference in clan settings.
This game, Clash of Clans, is amazing. It is one of the few games where people can choose how they want to play. Whether you're a hardcore farmer, a casual player, an aspiring warrer, or a hardcore warrer, you can all play the same game and get enjoyment out of it.
Clan Wars is an enormous part of what this game is about. It's even in the name. As the game has progressed, however, update after update, the community has grown farther and farther apart. The reason of this comes down to one thing: the way people want to war. Some people farm wars. They are content with simply hitting the War Start button, getting matched with any clan, and town hall sniping/barching for the war loot. Other people have different opinions. They want to war on a competitive level, an "elite" level, if you will. They spend hours upon hours planning their attacks, building anti-3 star bases updated to the current meta, and aren't satisfied with anything less then a 3 star and a perfect (or as close as possible) war.
These people who want to war on a competitive level, myself included, are tired of matching with farming clans and gowipe clans. Where's the fun in war if you go into it knowing you will win without any effort?
As an answer to this, the war community began arranging their own matchups with clans equal or near their skill level in order to find entertainment again in the game. These matchups revitalized clash for many people, and have been the inspiration for many amazing YouTube videos, Twitch streams, and even some new attack and base defense strategies. I'm sure you've all seen the arguments for being able to choose your matchups in war. It's a good idea, but there are many cons to this, including being almost impossible to implement due to clans not being able to match unless their war weights are extremely close to each other.
I have a proposed solution for this problem. What about being able to choose the level you want to war at in your clan settings (kind of like you would set your clan location)? This would allow farming and casual clans to match each other, and people who want to war at a higher level to get better, even, and more fun matchups.
Thank you for reading (hopefully a Supercell developer).
