Why does Trophies matter all of the sudden?

Most of the update is geared towards defending your base, gaining trophies and losing loot. I predict the next couple of sneak peeks will conclude things we already knew about, but getting milked by supercell for additional time. (TH11, the wizard hero, eagle defense)

The point of the matter is - what is the point to getting to higher leagues now? Before - the answer was simple; TH snipes for extra loot.

We all know that loot up in these leagues is scarce, with plenty of people dumping there loot into walls. Now, there will be NO economy added to the game stage up there, even though there are more targets, more people will be behind a "shield" and able to attack.

What is the point of going up that high for an irrelevant number, when one can sit in bronze/silver/gold and do collector raids off dead bases.

This is light criticism, but I think Supercell has to work on ways to make these higher leagues more inviting for players to reach. I know many players in my clan that haven't left silver league in TWO years. This isn't a lot, most wanted gems and did that part. But after that, they immediately drop.

I posted the defense bonus thread, I am also posting this thread. But supercell, you need to take advantage of this system you are underutilizing, and you can do wonderful additions to make higher leagues worthwhile, because right now, barely any players are bothering doing this even with your changes to the trophy system.

Because pushers spend the most in this game. It's all about money. Sad, but true.

First, trophies only matter if you want them to matter. This update has no effect on that. You can defend your base to keep loot or trophies or both. It's your choice.

Second, the loot isn't so bad in the higher leagues (at least up to champs), and IMO the bonus more than makes up for it. We'll have to see how having to defend affects that, but I expect the loot situation to improve most in the higher leagues after the update, so I'm optimistic.

• Collector raiding is boring and requires no skill, plus fewer DE
• Trophies do matter, take a look at all the people in Legend. Could you do that?
• You are increasing the amount of bases you will find by 80%. This loot will obviously equate to more than the league bonus ever was.

It's a business what do you expect? Is this suppose to be lollipops and rainbows?

This is wrong by many things
First, Your Right all we have seen is defensive stuff. but There also have been Attacking and Offensive stuff (Such as DB lvl 8) But we Can gain plenty of loot by attacking by a few things (Inactive bases) Also it's not like when they raid they will take ALL of your loot there is still a percent on which how much they can take.

I'm not sure because my friends who are near max TH10 from Titan are already decided to drop down to at least champions to find easier bases to sustain their progress. Our TH10 champions are dropping to masters and seeing what happens there naturally. At least one of my acc is dropping to gold or crystal to compete for the collector bases. So it seems overall the incentive is actually to drop trophies..? Except maybe those very competitive players/gemmers who want to stay at the very top and look cool.

All legend league means is you probably paid a lot of money or time.. It is not really a testament to skill. TH8's in Titan is something else.

But what do trophies give? Acknowledgement, but that isn't going to make people take advantage of the system in place that's coming.

Just think about it, casual players will be able to push higher then before, but this idea isn't fun for most to sit there nexting for the perfect base. Most would rather build their base slowly.

Just my two cents. If supercell wants to go in this direction im fine but it needs a better system to use.

It's completely true that loot incentive for being higher is actually being drastically reduced. Trophies will matter even less than they did before.

You go to legend or Titan and tell me it isn't a testament of skill. th8s in champ are just snipers galore and the new system will send them back down
