SC's mind explained.

Before we had clan wars peeps used to farm to max there bases to show off and to later when they get to max th10 to START TROPHY pushing ,this was the ultimate player's goal .(any old player can confirm this)
Back then trophies ment something champs ment something .
If you think about it the game is build around trophies ,check your Facebook friend thing in clash player get sorted by trophies ,they are the core of the game.
Back then players with master and champ badges where considered gods....
Only reason peeps farmed was to TROPHY push people!
Clans would show off by TROPHY count


But then SC introduced clan wars ,it was meant to be a nice ,fun MINI GAME in coc where clans interact more.


After the 'CW community ' started to be a thing a thing bigger than what it was originally designed for .

After a while peeps became obsessed with war .

Clan perks introduction dident help,it promoted CW too much.

Coc became farming to progress base to be good for clan wars.not to TROPHY push wich was the game's main goal.

Most clashers became war fans ....they created new strategies and started bashing Gowipe claiming its unskilful.

So clash evolved from a trophy pushing game to a War game....war guys made there normal bases just for war they dident care about there progress all they care is fit clan wars....I mean those X.5 guys are the biggest example of this.

Suddenly trophies dident have any value Wich was how the game was in fact INTENDED to work


SC is trying to fix there war mess by promoting cup hunting .

Also in there last update they tried to make the relation between cup hunting and war more friendly .they wanted peeps to attack with 'war armies'(called in the past cup chasing troups ) and get 70% to reward skilled attackers in war and in normal matchmaking.


Also they tried to eliminate farming so peeps in a way trophy push and opgrade there base at the same time and eliminate this going to lower league thing to get good loot .


But let's be honest they FAILED BADLY.

You do realize the game is called clash of clans, I strongly believe wars were in the works since day one.

.5's were a result of TH sniping, same as TH3's in champs and Savage Seven clan in Titan, It made no reason for an attacker to attack them if their TH is outside, .5's were just an exploit of a failed system since day one.

IMO's war is the only somewhat balanced aspect of the game (at the moment), trophy pushing is complete trash, only reason I am in Champs is for the loot bonus and I like to train bigger armies to practice for wars.

Many of our TH9's who are pushing are losing more cups than they gain, it makes no sense.

Disagree with this but you are entitled to your option. War and farming are the main reasons I play.

War is more difficult, I like the challenge.

.5s were a result of war weight, not TH sniping.

Just like defenseless bases, they don't care if they get ran over every defense as long as they are paired low in war with strong offense.

Wars and trophies aren't mutually exclusive. You can do well in both. The fact that wars are fun doesn't prevent trophy pushing from being fun.

True,

But there is a clash career outside of the 6 minutes it takes for you to attack.

TH sniping allowed for the .5s and defenceless bases to progress, protected by a free shield.

You're right. Clash of Cups wouldn't have went anywhere.

Wars were not in work since day one, took them two years to implement it. It was like OP said intended to be a side note mini game like single player campaign.

The idea behind .5 and defenseless were an attempt to manipulate war weight. But, TH sniping allowed those bases to retain rescources and progress. Loss of the free shield from TH sniping have made their progression much more difficult.

Pretty coherent assessment there OP. :thumbsup:
Agree with most points. ( especially the last one ) :smirk:

i think the removal of th sniping had to do with curbing the farm bunnies, but the fact that it was just unceremoniously removed without an alternative mechanism in place, is bad form :mad:
