This game is fun, but it's supposed to remain fun too.

Hi Forum users,

So far I've presented a couple small, and relatively unrealistic, ideas that change game dynamics. I've been shut down on these ideas as well, and...well...fair enough. It would be nice to have a conversation about changes to the game without being criticized and dismissed for having an idea, but I understand that most people who comment on things have a negative perspective on the post to begin with. I believe that one of the strengths that we have with Clash is the ability to provide our input, as well as develop leadership skills, manage resources and personnel, and create our own individual forums for development. Or just play a stupid, free internet app while arguing with people we don't know.

That being said, there is a problem with the clan war match up algorithm. My players are good, they have mastered the fundamentals of the game. They all enjoy and appreciate the social aspects of the game. They are respectful, and follow rules. They develop their villages appropriately, and they avoid rushing, while helping new players avoid rushing too. They watch you tubes and read up on current strategy, and they use our Facebook page to share new ideas. We have a very good clan, and they deserve better.

In our last 15 wars, we have been matched with a comparable clan once. We lost that war by two stars, and both clans exhausted all attacks. That clan won by getting a 3 star on our number 6, and a 1 star on our number 1. It was a very good war. The other 14 wars we have been matched against clans that are up to 3 levels above us (we are a level 4). Their lowest number is typically the same size as ours, and their top player is considerably above our 1. Their mid level players are always above our mid level players. Again, my players do their best, and we compete, but we lose due to an unfair match up.

Please adjust the algorithm. In order for the game to remain fun, clan war match ups must be fair. And while your at it, fix some other things too. Bring back zapping, but only on a TH higher then yours. have a trap that equals attacks when you are raided by someone considerably higher then you, have it work in war battles too. Make Valks target flyers. Give a stat that says how many clans you've been in. Shake it up! And add a TH 11.


Tier 1 high level players need to be challenged. I'd like to hear them complain a little about how unfair the game is. Just for once....

Bring it on, Trolls! Smiles and Sunshine 😄

Love,

Marv

I agree everything except th11

Current war, we are matched up with clshers stronger than us our lowest are against xbows (th8)

fix the matching

that th x.5 breaks matchmaking. I am in a farm clan (we ask our enemies to put top 2 ths out) and most matchups (especially asians) are almost impossible to beat. We once faced a clan, their nr 45 was a th9 with full legos against our th8 with lv7 walls, they both didn't have xbows so...

You say your players are good in the first paragraph, but in the next you say that you are a level 4 clan and that you lost a war where the enemy got a 1 star and a 3 star... You might be a new clan and all, but there is no reason to complain about being lvl 4 and being matched up with a lvl 7 clan. The added troop levels DO NOT make a huge difference. They are helpful, but they are not the difference between a 3 star and a 2 star attack, or between a 2 star and a 1 star attack. Strategy is more important than troop level, especially if it is only cc troops.

I cannot tell from your writing what townhall levels are in your clan, how large your wars are, and if you go for 2 stars or 3 stars (A good war clan is a 3star clan). However, it does not seem like you are truly mismatched by saying the enemy has slightly more upgraded bases than yours. It's hard to be truly mismatched and in most cases where people complain about mismatches, they are just trying to find an excuse for losing a lot of wars.

The best way to transition to the next townhall level is through the th x.5 method because troop upgrades, walls, and heroes take the longest time to upgrade and are most important in war. However, you are in a farming clan, so you should not expect to be able to win wars against war clans that use 8.5s and 9.5s.

I never said they were slightly above us. I said they were considerably above us. My players know strategy. I don't need to share every detail here. I know what I'm talking about. Does that satisfy you enough? I'm glad you care about us enough to state that you think I'm making excuses. I hope you have a blessed day 😄

how many th10s th9s... ect do you have?

I'll be happy to share that information....we are a clan that floats between 35 and 45 members...we allow players to opt out of war, and the largest war we do is 30. In our clan we have 6 TH 10s, and I am one of them. We have 12 Th9s. The rest are between th 3 and th8. We spread our TH levels evenly to maximize our war pull. We do a JV war once a week, where we leave out our top players (based on upgrades, not trophy levels 😄) so we can give low levels experience and opportunities to grow. We've discussed having our top 5 create second accounts that that we make no upgrades to and leave them at the very minimum with upgrades just to pull our war match up down.

Im assuming that the intention to ask clan specifics was to know what im talking about.

Dont assume that we don't have a clue 😄

Can you show some pictures of some of the war mismatches? That would help clarify. Also, knowing the townhall levels, number of players in war, and the strats you use would help in deciding whether you are actually being mismatched for 14/15 wars...

What's the point of posting a thread like this if you are not going to share every detail to help support your argument? Someone is eventually gonna disagree with you, especially on a topic like this.

Not really, because it's something of a theme of these mismatch threads, that the poster says that, for example, his clan isn't rushed and has good troops. And then when he finally reveals the clan name, it turns out to be very, very rushed indeed. Might, or might not, be the case here. But just stating that you know what you are doing and don't want to provide any information isn't going to convince many people.

And in this case...

This is ringing all sorts of alarm bells. Mentioning clan levels doesn't help since it's totally irrelevant.
Then there is the 3* on #6, 1* on #1. They've dropped 6 stars on the top 6 alone? Unless all of these bases are quite strong TH10s, that sounds like a losing score. And yet they beat you, due to a mismatch. Hmmm?
We did have an easy war a couple of wars back. We 3*d their #1, #2 and #3 - all TH10. I'd still hesitate to call that one an outright mismatch, and if they had more sensible designs we wouldn't have gotten all those stars.


PS - there have been several posts while I was typing this; so it doesn't make so much sense now

post a pic of the last war with your top guys bases, to see how well the enemy did against you, thanks
