Totally agree, we went from cheering when we cleaned the last TH9 (pre update), to a lot of TH9's needing to attack TH10's because they were late and the TH9's were already done (post update).

I agree with the original poster and several after. I'm in a similar spot at TH9, and there appears to be no reason to finish it out and go up to TH10, which appears worse. I've been working through my remaining gems. Once they run out, I'll be gone. I can't imagine spending any more time than the ridiculous amount I've already spent playing this game. Spend money? For what, a couple of hero upgrades. No way, no value there.
Say Bad clans all you want, but in over 200 wars and nearly 85% wins we have yet to have it happen to us so Im not sure what the standard you are talking about is.
Sure a majority of our matchups we will 3 every 9 and below and 2-3 every 10.
But thats not guaranteed.
The difficulty of the game increases with every th level. If it is too easy for you, it is time to move on.
Also if it is too easy 3 staring your mirror in cw then it is time for a new defense upgrade to stop the opponent getting 3 stars on you. Go to th10 and build your infernos and we will see if you can still 3 star your mirror.
Making th9 a bit easier was a good thing as they reward all the players with lvl10 or 15 heroes that are trying 3 star attacks on high th9s. Not everybody has max heroes or the motivation to farm them at th9 when at th10 getti g de is much easier.
There are still a ton of clans who cannot 3 star 9s and are satisfied with solid 2. its sad considering the multitude of ways to 3 star a 9. But my base was 3 starred 1 time by goho. All defenses but 1 xbow are maxed. I have noticed the time in my 3 star attacks and I didn't need the extra 30 secs. If you want interesting war go to a clan with rushed 10s and/or struggling 9s. It may spark your interest.
Agree with this. Feel free to come and look at our war logs. Two clans- 10 wars between them since post update. TH9/8 wars. 7 perfect wars. Logs don't lie. For me, TH9 wars have become as OP said, a snooze fest.
Weights certainly matter. If you have nothing but maxed TH9s- I suppose a couple of them might be able to withstand being tripled. Any new to mid TH9- and by mid I mean maybe a few defenses left to max, lvl8/9 walls, and teenager heroes- should be getting tripled post update. It's not that hard anymore by another TH9 with say the same level heroes and maxed golem/hogs or perhaps some other maxed troop comp.
Nothing is guaranteed, but 3s on all 9s by any semi-compotent war clan should be. The truth is that regular war matchmaking is pretty unbalanced in general. Very rarely do you ever get a 100% fair match. It is likley to be outclassed by 1-2 uppers, or you have a few extra lowers, or overall you or your opponents heroes just outclass you/them in general.
Finding a good war clan in war matchmaking is about the same as finding a good clanmate on global. Most are not very good/average so the likelihood of getting paired with strong clans able to wipe all 9s every war would be small, hence your war record experience. Though as you progress higher to more max bases your average war matchup will increase, and thus the likelihood of finding a decent war clan increases.
But start doing arranged wars against good clans and see what happens. All 9s will be 3D, likely some 10s/11s as well. There's a reason why many prefer arranged wars/scrims. The challenge is better and it is better balanced. SC war matchmaking has always been a joke.
The fact still remains, Th9s are easy to 3 (even more easy with this update). In regards to the OP's initial post, I can see why he finds war at th9 a snoozefest. There just isn't much challenge anymore.
hate to say it but yea pretty much th9 wars are the equivalent to what th8 wars were like. but I guess that was kind of the point wasn't it? th8 is the first moment you have to actually pay attention to pathing and troop deployment to win. then at th9 you expanded on that and the 3 stars would come but were difficult, then at th10 basically you were just happy pulling a high percentage 2 star.
now th9 is still harder than th8 but much easier than it was, and th10 is more balanced, with th11 being the new 2 star game. th10 3 stars are becoming more common, but still very difficult, and with the mentioning of new troops on the way, th10 may very well become the new th9 in terms of war balance.
Unfortunately, you can't do th9.5 after the update. Without the infernos u will get massacred. And saving elixir for these updates is gonna be too much work. Good luck bro!
Agree with what a lot of people have suggested stay at th9 for now.
I wish I could turn back time and put my 2nd account back to th9 instead of rushing to th10, where it's weak, and u can imagine what happening....
Also agree with the ppl pointing out th9 vs th9 isn't an automatic 3 star. That's why I wished I stayed there cos most of my war stars were picked up there and the 3 star attacks were collobrative well planned attacks, with some luck, which made it all very exciting.
Anyway OP hope u find ur place.
The war community is maybe where it's at right now to keep interest going.
GL and please keep at it.
