Clan War Matchmaking Improvements

[Colin94]

Who cares about maxers in the first place?
It's only their fault that they are maxing nobody else. If they don't have the guts they shouldn't be playing in this kind of game.

I fixed it for you.

Your no more deserving of a refund than all the people who had max bases before the infamous update that unleashed the engineering craze. In the words of many fine forumers, adapt or perish.

you are right. SC will always think about long term. Do you remember that HUGE permban wave? Many of those modders were gem-buyers and they were banned anyway. SC don't care if you spend gems or not, it will always do whatever is best for the game to survive in the long-term. Having more fair wars is a good move from them.

IMO engineers will build their defences in no-time and adaptation will be much smoother than many people think.

We have centered our entire team around rules which supercell created. We've spent countless hundreds if not thousands of dollars to play within those rules and still win. This is what you call bait and switch.

No, it's not what you call "bait and switch", it's what you call a clan lineup and bases built on a win at all costs mentality facing a change in a matchmaking system system that was never promised to be set in stone.

Looks like long long war searches at least at first

This is correct.

I posted in a thread a few weeks back wondering just how bad the complaints from engineers would be if SC ever did anything about it.

Nothing but mockery from the engineers, with them saying that they would just adapt. We don't even know the extent of the changes yet. It looks like at worst, they will face each other. How could they possibly complain about that?

It will interesting to see just how frantic it gets.

Will there be threats or lawsuits? Will people demand a refund? Will the forum be flooded with vulgar alt accounts?

Probably. Knowing just how crazy we can get about this game.

Heck, people did all those things over something as trivial as a reduction in wall price.

I thought this was supposed to be a Q&A that provides some transparency into changes for matchmaking? This was the same press release available in the news tab of the game. And it's devoid of any substantive information. #justmorehype, #loweredexpectations, #Idontevenusetwitter.

You must be a very bad planner. Or at the very least, blame those who plan better than you. Clash on.

This is no different from them changing the rules on townhall sniping, or making storages immune to zaps. I'm not saying it's right to change the rules on players so drastically, indeed I stopped buying gems after removing sniping killed my clan chat. It is however their game and they can make whatever rules they choose. All you can do is vote with your wallet, and keep an open mind to see how things change-if they change much at all.

[Reefus]

So an announcement to say we are working on it...again...got it!

Exactly, this was all hype. It wasn't even what was originally promised, just a copy and paste from the in game news tab.

how do you know that it isn't the other way around?
