Clan War Matchmaking Improvements

[Damiz]

We have just had our worst match up yet.....

10v10 war. Lot of our players sitting out of wars recently.

Anyway we don't run any engineered bases.

Our line up:

2 x TH11
6 x TH10
2 x Th9

Their line up:

10 x TH11.

Not much point sticking all their different engineered ways up and what they've got defensively and what they haven't. Safe to say this war was lost before it began.

They have 3 stars left to get and 7 attacks remaining.

Darian if you want my clans tag pm me - All the evidence you need is right in this war setup to confirm that the MM is nowhere near matching fairly.

If we only won 50% I would quit. We typically win about 80% of the time normally when we lose they are heavily engineered, we beat a good portion of slightly engineered clans but it is still ridiculous when you have a th11 down below the th9 and he has max heroes and war troops and th3 def and he can go up and grab 2 stars on top th11. We in UPSHOT know how to attack and can use several different attacks but when outmatched with engineered bases it's near impossible.

I'm bringing in nearly the same line up as last time (I do have to switch out a 9 due to hero) but they are side by side in a full line up so it shouldn't change anything. We will see how it goes.

We won our last war. It was a good fight to the end. They outmatched us with a stronger 10 and an extra 9 but my guys did it. LOL -- I think my guys are so used to attacking "up" with all the engineers, they thought nothing of the "normal" bases. I hear the words "overkill" a few times. LOL. Even I got 2 six packs to add to my war stars.

hm , mm ... 20 vs 20 ...right now still searching... since 3 hours ....

[PrincessKeys]

LOL -- I knew that last matchup was an accident

we are doing a 20/20 -- they easily have 12-14 more/higher attacks then we do -- lets hope they are poor attackers

[StickySword]

Just got matched, five strong TH 11s vs. Three. We have one extra TH 10. Looking at their troop levels we will need to three star two of their 11s just for a shot at a tie.

My clan is almost 4 years old and the number of ppl opting in for wars has dropped to 15 vs 15 most of the time. Have friends in other full clans that are having a hard time even getting 10 to opt in. Everyone is getting burned out by the mismatches.

[cjsteve]

I feel your pain my clan is over 3 years old we used to be running big Wars now it's just down to 15vs15. We just matched another engineer Clan all the way down to the bottom of the map and we don't even run engineered bases. has there even been anyone from supercell respond in here????????????

We are a lv 9 clan that mostly play for fun however we love to war as well. Usually twice a week we start a war and more often than not get matched with level 11 clans. The current war matchup is with a 12. This gets pretty discouraging over time as we can rarely win. As a result we struggle keeping interest up for war. Any improvements to the system would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Clashers,

As we have said in the past, one of our most important goals in matchmaking for Clan Wars is to ensure that each Clan is more evenly matched against the other. While we have made changes and updates to our matchmaking algorithm over time, we also understand much more needed to be done to provide an enjoyable War experience while preventing one Clan from having a major advantage over the other.

We wanted to share with you that we are making improvements to how the algorithm functions in order to address “engineered bases” in the matchmaking feature. This new functionality will take more into account as far as “total weight” is concerned with regards to both defense and offense. What this means for you is that your Clan will be more evenly matched against other Clans that have similar builds.

One of the challenges in creating a matchmaking system is to allow players to retain their creativity in their base design and play style. We wanted to make sure that your strategies are not invalidated; just more evenly matched against others who share your play style. Our improved algorithm is an evolutionary step in making sure Clans will be matched more frequently against opponents of equivalent difficulty. Furthermore, we have also built in a certain degree of flexibility into the new system that allows us to fine tune the matchmaking weights as needed. This will allow us to monitor the matchmaking, make changes if we feel the weights are either too heavy or not heavy enough.

The matchmaking algorithm is still currently in development and is slated for a near-future release! But we wanted to make sure we communicated this to you all and let you know that ensuring an enjoyable Clan War is just as important to us as it is to you.

Guess most would call me engineered. Good war good match. Looking forward to what ever changes you put out. I will adjust.
