So in many of the threads where we complain we hear how we should adapt, or how we are spoiled by cheap shields or by free loot from TH snipes. How we don't know how to farm or how to attack.

I always considered myself a good player, and most of us did.

But... What if I am a bad player? What if 90% of the community are in fact bad players?

So, you have adapted, you are a good player and you love the update. Good for you. However consider this example: In league of legends ~5% of the players are in Diamond league or above. They can be considered good. If we consider everyone below them bad players, then in that game 95% of the players are bad. Now imagine that 95% of the players in Clash of Clans are just as bad as all those players in League. What did this update do to them?

See, the problem is, it might have made the game better for that top 5%. But all those bad players... No, they can't cope with this. And why should they? It is a game which we play for fun. If it's not fun, people might stop playing.

You can keep posting your fancy attack logs, it still doesn't change that our own attack logs are bad. And we will probably never improve.

Thanks for considering this,
Dorsan - a th9 noob :)

Nice submission OP. Like you, I fall into the category of needing attack strategy improvement. I've taken to watching random vids on YouTube. I'm getting there but no way will I be a master tactician overnight. Lol

Imagine if we were all just super-pros. There would be maybe 1-3 base designs, a handful of army comps, and everything would be homogenous across each TH.. :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown: .. Diversity is one of the keys to this game.. When I come across that guy with rushed TH9 and he puts all his storages in one corner with 300k elixir, it makes my day.. Even though it sucks for him.. Don't come along telling me to get skill because I'm currently raiding masters/champs with TH9 and TH8 profitably (slowly compared to pre-update and I'm very active).. I understand not everyone likes to boost war armies or wait 1-2 hours between attacks. Sorry I'm not max th10 and can bully with barch/gibarch for the league bonus up here :)

This was discussed in my clan extensively. A few of us older guys just don't have the skills and ability of the younger guys to be great at this game. Too often fumbling troop drops, not able to "see" the pathing that your troops are going to follow, etc. Yes, there are tons of videos out there teaching this kind of stuff, but we don't have that kind of interest in the game to burn up that many brain cells learning it. Before, we could play casual and do simple attacks, and make progress. That ended. Now, it's too much like work, and just frustrating to try and save for any major upgrades.
My solution was to drop the gems on a week shield on both my games, and will rely on the boosted collectors to get a couple major upgrades done. If nothing changes before the boost/shield time ends (which I highly doubt anything will), my next step is to try and do the log on once every 4 days to collect maxed collectors, then log back off for 4 days and see if I can stay out of the queue that way and hope for a future update that returns playability for a bad attacker.
I switched clans to a non war clan due to my lack of attacking skills when it became obvious I was never going to be a great war player. Now they have pushed me even further out with the latest update to leaving my clan to not take up space when I am essentially an inactive base. I guess I'm not a good chief. :(

it matters because you can now judge how good a player is by what league their in, a clan leader it's hard to judge new member from looking at their profile as people fake can fake most of it, theirs to much fakery in this game from people increasing stats with shortcuts that take no skill,

People who think their great because they have a high gold grab & have just dropped trophies to attack weaker players

People who think their great because they have a high xp lv because their in a req & leave clan

People who think they are great because they have a lot of war stars but are in the same req and leave clans that start wars then kick everyone that just joined out of the clan so they can attack the weaker bases and get easy war stars althoug they end up losing every war

I never understood why people ever looked up and respected the low th lv players or defenceless bases that got to champion or Titans league, it was only possible by sniping, they were not skill full they just had a lot of time on their hands

A good player is one who spends money on the game and gems. A bad player is a free loading farmer. this is according to supercell.

now as far as attacking and defending skills those before the update were generally seen in clan wars. Now we have to see ineptness in p2p and clan wars.

If 90% of players are bad attackers, the game might as well just die because what's the point of having a clashing game where the vast majority of the players couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag?

Because 90% of us were enjoying trying to get out of that paper bag, and feel a sense of accomplishment when we finally do. ;)

Besides, you expert attackers need someone to prey on.

Trophy pushing is literally just a time and gem investment. Trophies prove nothing either. So we have concluded no achievement in the game matters.

I think the number of inferno towers destroyed is a good thing to look at to show how good a player is.
