I just might be a bad player - so what?

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. :(

I think there is nothing wrong with this and nothing wrong with you!! Not everyone has a lot of time and dedication like me to learn advanced strategies in a casual mobile game... Completely agree and we need players like you to hang out with and play with IMO.. And sometimes, maybe this is a side game, or a little relaxing game people play just a bit each day.. These guys are getting a bit ignored here.. if not screwed I should say..

Basically this.

@kissofdeath
Not everyone is a trophy pusher or likes to be one. You're a TH11 right, you must enjoy 3 starring Th10's up in leagues. You are basically done with the game, maxed everything out pretty much using the same tactics that you oppose. Think about the new players who will join this game and realize just how much time investment it really takes now to get to your level. Either gem or die[quit] for them.

Defenseless bases were a playstyle, no matter how much you dislike them. The freedom to make them was there, there was enjoyment involved and even time commitment as well as gemming. I personally never liked them or even have one but that doesn't mean it should be eliminated. Lots of defenseless bases were also created for donation purposes only to support their clans.

Low level bases just liked to trophy push. As SC itself says, this game is about attacking and defending. They just enjoyed attacking for long hours(yes not everyone one of them sniped, unbelievable right?) and defending by either getting stomped over or just getting sniped.

No it's not. Just like you said war stars achievement can be exploited, same can be done with spoils of war(though that's just sad if someone does this) or # of infernos destroyed which just takes a lot of attacks and time only for the purposes of destroying inferno towers(search for dead bases with infernos or rushed bases with level 1 infernos). These are mere achievements in-game for those who like them. They all can be exploited.

Be realistic did any defenceless base or th8 and below get to champions league by being good before the update?

It means they have more money and time, not that they are better in any way than a lot of players in lower leagues still saving resources to max their bases. That is the truth of it.

Another baddie, reporting in. This morning I was farming and I couldn't 2 star a townhall 7 (I'm th8) with mass dragons and spells. Sometimes I use wallbreakers in my clancastle.

I refuse to be forced into start being good, because I can't. People can't be good at everything but I think even bad players should be catered in a game that's supposed to be fun. This update stinks, and me too.

Thanks for saying what I want to say , and what I said already

SC get lost

Good post, but lets make something clear. Badge is still not an indication of how good you are, trust me. There are many awfull players in titans and in legend league. That hasnt changed with this update. You still need only time and support of many family clans and friendly players to be up there.
But u made a good point and 90% u mentioned are pretty realistic in my opinion. And this is where SC made the biggest mistake (lets leave the economy out off this thread). This game is like every other thing in this world. Some people are great at some things, others in other things and if SC planned that every player will become great all of a sudden, well thats just stupid.
Lots of people play this game just for fun, to chat with friends, socialize,...they dont want to learn complicated attacks and even if they would want that most wont be good at it. Its just how we are...individuals each with their own "perks".
Also for me a good player is not judged only by his skilled attacks.

That was very well put and I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Yeah, I clarified that in a later post. By best players I meant those 5%-10% that can farm well under the new system. Nothing else.

This


I've never cared about cups other then what loot bonus they get me. I was in m3 when the update hit and now I'm in Champs. I literally did this by just sitting around with no loot to take and letting cup droppers find me.

So even now it's not about skill
