I would argue that 10v or 15v wars are more popular than higher number wars. There's a reason SC decided to get rid of 35v and 45v wars, they have the data. I'm sure they see that they're less popular so therefore the move to get better matchmaking. Reading between the lines but it appears that mismatches may occur more often between 35v or 45v.
However OP you raise a really good point that SC should consider. Benching add'l players isn't ideal. What I would suggest is that a clan can have MORE than 50 chiefs in the clan, perhaps 60. That should give them the buffer needed to suit up a 50 war so some people can upgrade heroes etc. To me that would be a far better solution than to get rid of 10v or 15v wars.
