Clan War Matchmaking Improvements

Unpinned. I guess Supercell's way of giving us the bird on this topic?

Yeah, it's pretty bad right now. We have convinced a some of our th10s that have max or near max heroes to go to th11. They were getting matched with th11s anyways.

Since the update (number in parenthesis was total players in war):
- Fair match (30)
- 11v17 (25)
- 10v19 (25)
- 10v16 (25)
- 11v16 (20)
- Fair Match (25)
- 11v9 - This is the big one Elizabeth! (25)
- 14v18 (with a 2 eagle advantage to the side with the offensive advantage) (30)
- 15v20 (30) - current war

Fair matches are defined by me within one th11 on either side and close defensively. None of our wars have been against rushers. Most of the matches have been quite even defensively (aside from that 2 eagle match). From reading this forum, supposedly rushers are a large portion of the player base. We haven't seen a war against rushers in a very long time.

There is ZERO improvement;

What went from closely matched wars being decided by 1 star or a few % points now has the enemy getting the favor in the match up almost every single match. Yes, we're engineered, and we battled almost all engineers prior to the change with no complaints, many times we were out engineered and still pulled off the win, but the wars were at least winnable if we attacked better than them.

Can you please tell me why we're being penalized for high level heroes when it's the hardest part of the game and the biggest grind?

Not unpinned, moved to war forum area. This is the other old first announcement on going live thread that was still going at the same time, not the official feedback one Anouska started that was pinnned until moved today and repinned.

We left it a while to try another war as it's just not enjoyable with miss matches constantly, we began a war 10 v 10 this morning thinking things would have changed lol. We are 1 twnhall 11 9 twnhall nines and matched against 2 twnhall 11s and 8 twnhall 10s all heavy engineered bases what a joke... the game has slowly been in decline for a good while now don't believe it will actually stop

As a clan that wars constantly, for the last week, maybe 2 now, our lower guys have been getting screwed. Most of our TH9's that war are fairly new TH9's. They are getting matched up with max TH9's and even TH10's with no infernos--not truly engineered, just no infernos. Before, the match-ups were almost spot on--weak TH9 vs weak TH9...it was pretty amazing how that happened and it gave our guys an opportunity for a fair match-up. Not anymore. As for the TH10/11 match-ups, I feel they are pretty close atm. I think there's more leeway at that level, but if you're a new TH9, you can forget about it, and I think that's not good for the players.

If one thing needs to be fixed in a future update, it's the disparity between TH levels from TH10 on down.


As a personal aside, I think TH9 sucks--I don't miss that grind one bit. I think players either get over the hump, or they don't and stop playing.

Since my last post about balanced match ups for us ... MM went downhill continuously getting few TH11s against us and we don't have any ...

15-17 TH11 no EA
18-31 TH10 with inferno
32-36 TH10 no inferno
37-40 TH9

them
1-19 TH11 with EA
20-22 TH11 no EA (Max heroes inc warden & all troops)
23-30 TH10 with inferno
31 TH11 no EA, Max heroes inc warden & all troops.
32-34 TH10 with inferno
35-39 TH9
40 TH6

Back to mismatch again.
Outnumbered by 5 EAs, 6 Wardens and several lots of maxed troops.

Seems like the new MM is working 1 in 5 wars. ( well for us anyway )

It is unrealistic of SC to try and please everyone. Wardens should match wardens, period. Lopsided, or rushed accounts have a choice to catch up, balanced accounts don't. You can't "unbuild" or "downgrade" defenses and offenses. Players will eventually correct their accounts if they want to continue to use them, and give it 6 mths to a year, everything will be balanced. Continue to allow lopsided accounts to reign supreme, and you will eventually kill off the entire war scene.
