Is there a problem with war matchmaking

[Valleyboy]

My clan is constantly being matched with th11's when our maxed guys are only th10....its impossible to win...its happening more and more...why is this happening?....are they going to fix it....or are we just the unluckiest clan getting these matches?

Yes, there is a problem

Yep th11 matchmaking is broken.

SC modified the matchmaking algorithm for TH9-TH11. It completely screwed things up. There are tons of complaints in the forums about it; SC has a generic boilerplate response they send that essentially says they do everything they can to reduce the wait time for match-ups and that you might be the underdog this time, but next time around you'll probably be on top. Unfortunately, for a lot of us, none of this is true. The most affected tend to be clans running 10x10 wars; one of the things some clans have done is increase the number of players to at least 15x15 and others have pulled in a few low-level minis (say TH4 games) in an attempt to lower overall war weight.

yes very messed up, our current war : US 4 TH10, 14 TH9, 1 TH8, 1 TH7. Them: 1 TH11 (with warden, defenses and eagle), 8 TH10 all with xbows and IT's, 8 TH9 all with xbows, 1 TH8, 1TH7, 1 TH5.

Our heros are dead even on averaging. I find it hard to believe that the TH5 offset them that much.

Initial weighting analysis - they have a +9 point defensive average differential ( the th10's make up most of the difference in weight), we have a +.23 hero weighting average, offense average they are +6. Not enough to warrant the +9 advantage in defense they have.

This is on the 1-100 system same as the 0-100000 system just minus the 0's

Us 72 weight average, them 81 weight average. Hero's Us 19 them 18 average (not enough to make a difference). We use our own offensive weighting spreadsheet, basically we both have max war troops/spells for each TH lvl they have max camps for all their TH lvl's as do we, but they have 5 TH10's with 20 extra camp spaces and an extra spell to attack our TH9's. This is the worst unbalanced match up we have ever had. I will post results tomorrow after war ends. Probably won't be pretty, we can only hope they are horrible at attacking. both of us lvl 8 clans, not that it matters.

I was going to start this very same thread. My clan is currently in the same position we are a clan full of non rusher. Unfortunately the weight of the pigeon is so huge it means me a near super max 10 weighs the same as a rushed 11. On my own this is not too bad but unfortunately no self respecting clan allows rushers in (I'm not talking about the calculated rushers btw) so Mr rusher in his rushed clan brings all his rushed friends. In our latest war we have 9s v 10s and 10s v 11s across the board. While in theory some people will be able to star having an ea to face for me is a disadvantage having a 10 with a gw is an advantage for him. Same goes for 9s with the infernos. I'd rather wait longer for a match just knowing at a very minimum we are dealing with even ths across the board.

I've actually had worse luck with 15v15 than 10v10. I have 2 th10s although one will be th11 here shortly, but one is roughly an 89k the other about 84k but have been off wars for 2 weeks so may have changed. If both were in the likelihood of seeing well developed th11s went way up....with just my 89k almost the same, but when I put only my 84k in Inhave never pulled an 11, so at least for our clan makeup with me having the only 10s I've at least found the sweet spot. Hopefully they get this sorted out before my 84 starts bringing them in.

You know there is a slight contradiction here... complaining that rushed bases have an advantage, but stating that no self-respecting clan admits rushers. Why don't they admit rushers? Because they are perceived as such a disadvantage in war.

So - you don't allow rushers because they are a disadvantage, but also complain that they have an advantage over you.

PS - I'm not saying the matching is OK for 10/11 - it clearly isn't from the complaints here.

I don't want to hear that.... We started up a few minis to get ourselves to 15x15 and I'll be including my very rushed TH11 in there. We're just wrapping a bunch of upgrades and will start a war next weekend....

We matched a clan with 6 th11 to 2 th11 from us... They used three th3-4 to reduce there warscore...
