They are not able to disclose which clanmate has used a mod due to privacy policies

Zelonius buddy, I think I need to clear this up "privacy policies" Supercell can ban and disclose users.

This is like a credit card company, users "card holder" were given only privilege to use their card but has no right. There's a difference between given PRIVILAGE and RIGHTS. The card company can disclose whatsoever they can legally in full if the card holder has proven to have done something fraudulent and can be published. As I said proven with proof evidence sufficient to establish a thing as true, or to produce belief in its truth. The company has right because its their product....

how about this:
calculate defensive weight
calculate offensive weight

highest one counts

pretty sure this will force people to play normally? (by normal i mean you don't worry about what you upgrade and what you don't)

This is a good idea but if some player for some reason keeps defenses over offense or offense over defense without any intention, he will be in trouble getting mismatched in wars.many of the players don't have idea how matchmaking works so let's not trouble them!

Why haven't we heard anything else about the clash clon? Do they not want anyone to go? Some people need several months to plan for an out of state or country trip! We need to know more... Price time etc.

Here here!

We just had our small win streak snapped by a cheater clan. They had 12 th10/11 attacks lateral to th9s, a remarkable advantage. Their #23 was a th11 with a max attack (but not heroes). While they perfected us, only one of our top 10 was three starred by a th9. 6 of their th10/11 attacks FAILED to get 3 stars on th9s! The outcome was known before war but they were not 'better' despite their win.

I would guess that if this type of war match dominates, our 21 month old clan of th8/9s will stop warring within 60 days. I'm not being dramatic. Most of us feel there is no point to war with this kind of cheating and not much point to the game without war.

Funny to come across you on the forums.

While i agree on the points you are making about defenless bases and mini max, this isnt why you lost the war.
learn some better strategy's, all our bases could be 3 starred by a th9 or the 9.5's you guys had. We didnt even need
our #23 to 100% you.

Best regards LOMT

The company can but they won't because they probably want to stick with their policies
.....i foresee this argument going back and forth we might need supercell to clarify if they are willing to disclose modders to their clanmate. My money is on that they wont

1) Calculate total defensive weight
2) Calculate total offensive weight including heroes

the average of the two is the person's war weight.


will fix all problems.

0.5 bases will continue to exist, and will continue to be a source of contention, but at least, it will make the contests more relevant.

Why should someone who has prioritized defense over offense be so heavily punished in wars? There are many "correct" ways of playing the game.

to add to the original post...

SC should then display every player's defensive and offensive weights on the profile page. It probably wont help maxed players like us much, but will benefit the upcoming players on deciding what they want to upgrade next : first inferno or maxed level 4 xbow and so forth.

It would also help the clans on deciding what types of "war weight" players they want to recruit.

The 0.5 lopsided bases will still have an advantage in matchmaking, and I have nothing against those bases, but because the average of defense plus offense is the actual war weight, this advantage will be curtailed significantly. It will also encourage people to balance out both offense and defense while upgrading, which is what should happen.

I realize that this system will take a while to function perfectly, because generating true offensive weight isn't easy and may require a few tweaks in due course. People may still find ways of beating this system. Someone may have maxed golems and maxed miners, which are the only two troops he takes to war, but may only have level 1 goblins, giants, dragons and minions to lower the offensive weight. What do you call these? Double-lopsided? Double-0.5?

Anyway, that aside, the averaging system will improve match making significantly IMO.

[N1NJ4smurf]

this might be a dumb question, but why not make the TH level count in war weight? someone was saying it'd be too extreme and would overcompensate and potentially break matchmaking... but why?

i would've thought that having the TH level as a significant part of the weight would help even things up - no defenceless bases down the bottom to counter maxed bases at the top...

[Gelil]

Like the idea of co leader chat

[Lannister]

My bet is that they are going to cap the troop levels and army size of bases you attack in clan wars to the max troop level of that defending townhall, similar to friendly challenge caps in clash royale. So if you have lvl4 dragons as a th9, and hit a th7 base, those dragons become lvl2 Dragons.

[WernerDerChamp]

Usually, war troops count more than other troops.

In order to fix this, SC should chance the war weight more often, so if today a lot of players attack with miners and bowlers, having these troops letts you count more, if you are a TH10 without this two troops, you will count less since SC also reduces the weight of troops seldom used in war. (Barbarians, Archers, Goblins, Minions...)

Edit: Maybe the weight of troops should be based on the Players TH
