Idea for post update world that would make it tolerable for most

Numbers can be tweaked as necessary (x-post from general)

More shield changes

Shield length scaled by % done (Maybe a 10% troop deployment barrier as a safety net)
1% 4 hour shield scales to 16 hour shield for 100% No plateaus, just scaled to the minute for shields.

29% would grant a 8 hour 38 minute shield
I would use the formula %(16 hours) + 4 hours base

Reduce Griefing of by player base

Loot Bonus simplified
1 star - 75% bonus
2 star - 125% bonus
3 star - 175% bonus

Incentivize moving up in league
Starting at crystal have added incentives
C3 5% reduce in cook times(Hero, Barracks, Spells)
C2 7.5%
C1 10%
M3 12.5%
M2 15%
M1 20%
Champ3 25%
Champ2 30%
Champ1 35%
Titan3 40%
Titan2 45%
Titan1 50%

Would not stack with boost, whichever is greater comes into play.

Heroes are more important then ever, change altars to workshops.

When upgrading their weapon is being upgraded, they could be used in a lesser capacity.

Not available for defense at all, available in a lesser capacity for offense.

I would call the effective levels the ability upgrade ones (5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40) and would allow them to be used at 2 level abilities before starting at level 10.

For Example Upgrading a king to 34, can be used at an effective level of 25 on offense. Upgrading to 36 would function as a level 30.

With workshop being used to ugprade healing time scales upward to double, maybe not boostable.

Still leaves a large incentive to gem them for war if needed, but allows a version of them to be available for new farming attacks as well as war.

Maybe a 2nd spell factory for all.

TLDR Incentivize us for doing storage attacks and simplify the game and reducing ability to grief.

Sorry for all bold, formatting got wonky.

1.) Shield time should be based on units used on the attack, not percentage.

2.) I agree there should be more loot for 2 stars, but I think I know what the ideas of Supercell are. Getting the 50% star is rewarded with league bonus. Getting the th star by targeting the core is rewarded with storage content that you will get for targeting the core, so a 2 star already gives more loot than 1. 3 star attacks need no reward as 2 stars is the target of farming. Who cares about 2 teslas in the corner if all loot and th are already gone. This will only get players to drop down and hit on weaker bases.

3.) No dont nerf boosts. I think increasing the league bonus will be enough, but this will happen over time anyway with more trophies produced below 1K.

4.) Using heroes during upgrade: There is no need to change hero altars to make that work. This is an easy change, they are just too greedy.

5.) I would like to see an army between barch and GoWiPe in cost and build time. My idea is this:
Reduce valk costs at higher levels to 70/80/90/100.
Reduce wizard build time to 4 minutes.
Reduce build time of rage and freeze to 20 minutes and earthquake to 10.

#1 is also not a bad plan

I could get get behind that anything to reduce griefing.

#2 I think there should be an incentive for 3*, it might not be possible if you are in the right league but should be there.

I would think the 3* bonus in Crystal 3 would be equal to the 2* bonus of say Crystal 1.

I think using heroes while upgrading would have to come at a reduced version to ever be implemented.
