Clan War Matchmaking Improvements

[xc3ss1v30n3]

The worst thing I have seen with the matchmaking changes is war matches seem to take forever to find. We haven't had a search run less than two hours and we seem to be getting matches that are impossible to win. Our wars are ending in draws or loses since the update with a couple wins.

That could also have to do with day and time of searches along with the number of bases in war. Our search times have been 10 mins or less.

I'm with you on this. I'm wondering if an unintended consequence of whatever changes they made is that new and/or rushed TH levels are considered "engineered" by whatever SC defines that as and subsequently draws other "engineered" clans. We would fall into this same category as we have 1 guy that is literally always in war and is a rushed TH11 (all TH11 defenses on the ground and upgrading, but a ton of TH10 defenses still and some TH10 troop levels) and we have another guy that just finished building his IT's at TH10.

Has anyone tried putting in a lineup of ONLY maxed TH levels to see what the draw is?

If I recall correctly 2222 has made references to a few strickly maxer clans that have reported issues too.

We run back to back wars so we start the next as soon as one finishes. Been trying wars of different sizes from 20 to 40 and also different combinations of bases.

You can search for cnaf's post early in the thread: 6 max TH11, 12 max TH10, 12 max Th9 match to 12/6/12. There's also a thread about maxer clan matches in the war section. Some are reporting more tendency to match other maxed clans (but only really seeming to apply to VERY maxed clans) - but also wild mismatches at times.

I don't have any accounts yet at TH11, but it sounds like you have been there for a few weeks if you have a lvl 5 GW already. What levels are your baby defenses?

To me it sounds like you have 3 bases with the attack potential of a TH11 (better than TH10).
Unfortunately with 3 TH11s and no TH10s it sounds like you might have a hard time getting a balanced match.

My "baby" defenses are canon / archer tower at around th8 level. wiz tower is lvl 4, Xbow is still lvl 1. I rushed my warden and had it lvl 5 in the first week. My 2nd th11 troop just finished a few days ago so maybe like 3-4 weeks worth of th11? I agree in theory with your statement about attack potential, but I still can't hang with a max 11 with 2 upgraded troops, and either way if I'm attacking th11 defenses and he's attacking my mostly th10 defenses that's not going my way 9/10 times. Also I tried to .5 for a few wars after going to 11 and that seemed to make it much worse as well.

It seems to me SC didn't address engineering in any way. They just made .5 and rushed / new TH look like engineers.

Well, poop.

completely max th9/10s are being punished by matching higher ths but that kind of makes sense because they do have the option to just go to a higher th. seems like supercell is trying to force players up rather than letting perma max 9s/10s sit there because they like it.

other then that matchmaker is still doing a good job for my clan.we are balanced with no .5s or engineered bases and 10W-1L since the changes with a 9 streak soon to be 10

LOL -- Each search gets worse and worse

I just took our "babies" into war
9 - th8
5 - th7
1 - th6

we got

2 - th10
2 - th9s
6 - th8s
5 - th7s

Jet lost our war which I mentioned earlier in this thread which was heavily imbalanced.

our team

5 x th10
6 x th9
4 x th8


opposition team

4 x th11 (2 bases had th11 defences minus eagle and 2 had th10 defences but all 4 had max troops)
3 x th10
5 x th9
3 x th8


lost 42 - 41 so tried our best but just can't legislate for being matched up against that. Dunno whether to continue trying for fair wars or give it a break until something changes from supercell.
