3 Easy Changes That Will Fix Most War Match-Ups!

[coachmoneyball]

Disagree on adding war weight to the GW. Not needed once you count EA enough. I support all of these changes.

Related to #3, I would also add that you cannot attack more than 2 TH levels higher or lower. It would help prevent something which must not be named. I understand the valid reasons for a 35 to attack a 1, but SC needs to do something more to prevent the actions they say violate the TOS.

Here's the problem with this...there are TONS of people who rush THs out there. Limits like this only help people who engineer accounts. I have a defenseless account, it can be ravaged by pretty much anyone. If they implemented this, I'd immediately go straight to TH11 with it...make you waste a TH9 attack on me.

The more "rules" you implement, the more people find ways to use those rules to their advantage. All you're doing is encouraging those who use bunnies to rush their TH way up quickly, so they can then do that to anyone all over again.

All points seem reasonable in the OP. The eagle artillery currently seems to be weighted much lower and same goes for the warden.

So I posted this elsewhere, and it was met with positive responses (crazy I know), so I figured I'd make a thread about it, and see what the community thought.

Anyways, I think SC should make 3 simple changes to the War MatchMaking System, that would greatly reduce the number of mismatches we've been seeing lately. They are:

1-Decrease the War Weight of Walls by ~35%
2-Increase the War Weight of Eagle Artillery by ~40-50%
3-Set a requirement that the #1 in both clans is the same level TH

Thoughts?

Amendment #1: Add considerably more (40-50%) WW to GW. If this end up being too much, only increase EA's WW by ~30%, to help balance.

1-Decrease the War Weight of Walls by ~35% I agree with another poster on this subject. Walls should weigh zero. People who spend long hours maxing their walls shouldnt see a rushed town hall higher then them in war bc of it. If SC refuses to do this bc its unfair to the rushers then a 50% reduction should be made at minimum. I really cant see how you give the advantage to people who mistakenly rush or purposely engineer bases to be matched this way.

2-Increase the War Weight of Eagle Artillery by ~40-50% I dont think you would need this IF you implement number 3. Lets say number one is a TH10. If your number 2 is a th10 or th9, their number 2 SHOULD be an extremely rushed th11 to be th11. Therefore there shouldnt be any issues with attacking them imo.

3-Set a requirement that the #1 in both clans is the same level TH I think this idea alone could fix the problem. If they simply added this alone, we might see a huge reduction of mismatches. I think wall weight reduction should be included as well or else one side might have far to many rushed ths a level higher then the other.

You should bump your thread occasionally to keep the conversation moving!

Good thoughts OP. I mostly agree with all these ideas. Anything that doesn't punish FP players & improved CW is a step in the right direction.

Here's to hoping SC actually does something to improve war matching in the upcoming supposed war focused update & not just adding silly stuff.

Good ideas but plz post in ideas subforum

I also think that they have to get past this "match at all cost attitude."

If after searching for an hour the system can't find a reasonable match. It should tell you:

"I'm sorry but we couldn't find a close enough match to your team, please try again later, or adjust your team for easier searching. For more information please visit our Forums"

Then make it so the last base on the map will be no more then 1 TH greater or smaller than the last base on the opponents map. This will will end the silliness that is the defenseless base.


What people will do for 3 extra stars. Do your really win most of your wars by only 3 stars. I think not.

IMHO, I think SC have have other plans with the current TH11, which is why that it seemed that currently TH11 is weighed less than it supposed to be..

Other upgrades, troops, defenses might be on the way and when those are implemented, the current war weight of EA and GW might be just about right. Suddenly increasing their weights now might later screw up their plan...

TH11 is still far from complete...

Well, even if they have futher plans with th11 they should be able to adapt matchmaking to what th11 is TODAY, and not to what it will be in the future. And then as th11 evolves they can tweek it.

I don't think the th lvl is that important for the #1 spot as long as the weight is similar.

Last war was for our th7 and below. Our first 2 guys were up against th 8. We wiped them off the map. We didn't even have our "good" cc troops since our higher quys were not in war.

My maxed th 8 is often up against th 9 and even an occasional 10. Rarely though is it ever more than a th 8 with "a pretty paint job".

This is the problem though. You dont see enough th9-th10 member wars to make a definitive judgement. Three staring a rushed th9 as a th8 is MUCH easier then 2 staring a rushed th10 as a th9. If the higher level th has built their offense up at all, they should three star any th below them regardless of how maxed they are. Obviously a good plan and skill are the factors that ultimately determine the outcome. Having 20 more troops, a extra spell, a extra hero and all of them at levels you cant upgrade to equal being outmatched. When the opponent has rushed and not engineered his base you can often tell. They have lower heroes and low level troops that are required for three staring at their respective th. Either way it can be hard to three star a rushed th higher then you when they have more defenses. Xbows and infernos arent easy to take down when your one th lower. You might have a chance if your max or very close to max.

I dont consider a th10 with all th8 defenses and no new defenses or heroes a true th10. That is a th with a paint job. Thats not what most people are calling mismatches.
