Tiny variations or being one pixel out with a drop can turn a 3 star into a 1 star.
Shattered LaLoon is tough. I've one starred many a time in the high 90's, often because a lava hasnt quite popped (i tend to try and get 2 ad's for that strat and use 2 golems). But on the right base its devastating.
Every base is different, so it's vital to have multiple attack strats.
Gowiwi is devastating on open bases. GoVaLoon on large cored bases that have all 4 ad's in it. The most fluid... but needs good planning and good execution is GoHo.
If you've 20/20+ heroes, have 1 maxed golem and 2 level 4 golems... a th9 really struggles to stop you. Take out the gb locations and goho will get you a 3 star more consistently.
But look at every base on its merits.
If you can scout a base properly, and if you can execute your strategy well, you should be 3 starring around 1 in 3 attempts. Any more than that, you're doing incredibly well.
Good luck, and avoid the 2 star spammed gowipe desire! It wont work and is nowhere near as satisfying as picking a base apart.
