Remove the penalty for waiting a long time for a war match. I would rather wait 5 hours for a decent match then get a lopsided match after an hour.

OK -- today I took th6-10 for a 20/20 war
It seems a 20/20 wasn't happening anytime soon so I dumped 5 of them
about 15 minutes later we got a match
they have 1 more 9 than we do
I'll wait 1-2 hours for a match like this
It's really a simple fix. As I said before disregard defense. Disregard engineered. If someone has Max th level troops treat them like a max level. If engineers get matched with maxers of the same level so be it. Get more defense then. Instead of us feeling like we now have to engineer.
Last war we ran:
10.5 x 1
10 x 2
9.5 x 3
9 x 4
We lost to a clan made entirely of engineered 11s run by a single person that systematically put up 27 stars on us in the last hour of war. We had a poor war, our 9's and 9.5's struggled with the extra walls and defenses, I won't blame it completely on matchmaking. We've just never seen that before.
It seems by going the .5 route we've been lumped in with the heavily engineered clans. As a guideline we always suggested waiting until you could beat the next th's defense before putting them down. Guess that's got to change now.
We just lost a war but we were outmatched, they had two 10.5's and 7 TH10's, we had 6 TH10's not exactly fair.

Meanwhile, in the builder base, a tired Battle Machine operator limps home. He is bruised by giant cannon balls. His spine is compressed by crushers. His hair and beard is singed by roasters. He pours three fingers of Old Tennessee, and slumps into a rocking chair. He stares morosely at at an empty rug in front of a cold fireplace. A single tear escapes his left eye.
I have been very vocal about criticising the algorithm since the last update, but......one of the clans I am in finally got a reasonable match. They had an eagle and we didn't, but other than that, was fairly even. Current war is even closer, we have an extra th10, but they have two infernos a level higher than ours. Otherwise, it's an uncanny match.
the other clan I am in have about given up. Haven't warred for 5 days after having multiple matches where the opposition had more than double our th11.
