What is supercell doing to Nerf .5 exploiters?

[Taternader]

If your worried about .5 bases your either not very good at war or not too knowledgeable about what a .5 is.

Or a troll I suppose.

If your clan's top base is a TH 9, I can see how 9.5s would give you heartburn.

lol .5 is NOT an issue. .5 would be the "ethical" upgrade of off vs def; A 9.5 assumes you´ll have a TH9 def lvl AT LEAST; a 10.5 assumes you´ll have max TH10 def AT LEAST; Problem is when someone engeneer it´s base to have th7 or 8 def and 40/40/20 heroes. Thats unbalanced.

This debate is so tiring. Engineered bases are tailor made for a specific reason whether it is a way to get easier matchups or whatever, so what thats the goal dont whine about others understanding the game better. SC will most likely ruin engineered bases because of all the crybabies that dont want to think. Regardless all u nerfers are annoying to me and really need to just get better at the game either by practicing dif atks or by building an engineered base so u even out the playing field. Laziness isnt an excuse and shouldnt be rewarded

March update buffed offensively engineered bases from a war mm standpoint. Think of the next change as a buff to defense to help rebalance things. Does thinking in these terms make you feel better? Offense was rewarded last update, why should defense never be rewarded in war mm updates? Of course, it's easier just to think of how you are being punished.

Game keeps changing. If it doesn't, strategy would get repetitive and boring.

That said, the ongoing repeated complaints on the forums to nerf everything do get very old to me too.

Yeah, this needs to be dealt with ASAP. We are primarily a new TH10 clan and the last match up put again all TH11's with TH9 defenses, but with wardens and maxed bowlers.

Our new 10's still struggle to 3 max th9's, but their bowler warden raids flatten us with ease.

TH11s with TH9 defenses are not .5s.

Before you use the word "ethical" ask your self why do you go the .5 route? The real reason. I'll wait...

Will someone please show me the rule that says I must drop xbows on my th 9? I am not exploiting anything. Why should I hoard the extra gold, and bypass other upgrades, just to add 1, well 2, extra defenses to my village? It is my personal choice to not drop them. My village holds up quite well without them, and I think it is a better value to upgrade other things before my xbows.

There is no such rule Josh. Nor should there be. I think most players enjoy the freedom to choose their own path.

This does not mean you should expect war mm to never change weightings. SC has changed them before and likely will again.

I agree with tall the others, why does this need to be "fixed"? These people took the time and effort to make a base that they wanted. They have every right to do that. Just like some decided to ignore walls and focus on defenses. I've seen many a th 11 in Titan with purple and pink walls. The so called "rushed" are playing how they want.

This is a strategy game. They have a better strategy than you do. They aren't cheating, so either you need to learn to do better in war, or just not war in general.

That's called sandbagging, it's frowned upon in normal society. There is no strategy in playing below your ability level.

we will see the nerf in one of the next 2 updates, hang on to your hats. Interesting to see how the mm will change, hope its fair to all.
