Those clans that engineered to cover for attacking frailties, will now be losing a lot.
The clans that engineered to compound an advantage they already had in attacking skill and base design....will still be winning, but still thinking it has anything to do with the engineering bit.
It's madness. Engineers laughed at 'stupid, ignorant, arrogant maxing' through numerous war MM iterations where engineering was providing a fairly consistent advantage.
Now those same people aren't realising that their advantage has been decimated, in a similar fashion of ignorance.
What Kimi has alluded to a couple of times is still true though. Lower level engineering is most likely still alive and well....cos there's so many matches against nubs at that weight.
But in all honesty, those same clans would be easy to beat for good attackers in an exact perfect match.
I will add that my clan's 11 streak got broken by a clan with an engineered 45/45/20 9.5.
The only thing that did for them was make 14 th11 max hero attacks to our 12.
They won because they were better. Their designs were better, they attacked better, they succeeded all their th10 dips, and 3D our weakest 11.
We didn't. End of. Engineering didn't win. Quality did. People need to look at that a bit more and see where the wind is blowing.
