The one and only " War search after update" thread

[iBork]

Not in out current match. We run a lightly engineeed, 1 th10, couple x.5's, 1 9.11, 1 dless th9. Rest mix of th9's and th8's. Usually end up with similar matches, down a few infernos, up some on heroes.

current opponent has 7 dless bases including th11 and th10. 2 more inferno bases, 4 more warden bases. A couple of the th11's are low heroes, but others are 40-40-20, 35-35-20.

They should perfect us with at least 5 warden hits on our top base. We can tie.

Makes sense why you would match them. I wouldn't call your roster light engineering. You are on the border line of heavy engineering. The defenseless TH9 and the 9.11 are causing that. Try not putting them in war next time. I bet your wars will improve.

I'm ok matching whoever, but it doesn't explain 2 wars, 2 dramatically different opponents.

So is there any validity to the idea that it only takes 1 engineered account to put the whole clan in the "Bad ole engineering" bucket? I see this as a real problem for many clans. Sitting a potentially otherwise solid players just because they controlled their war weight with .5 is going to make to make for a lot of unhappy players. f2p guys might be staring at months of farming to fix it.

I don't think there's any convincing evidence that SC are really splitting the pot into 2 with a cliff edge between.

It's seemed for months that SC are trying to match lopsided to lopsided - and probably as a sliding scale rather than a yes/no. Several fully engineered clans on here have been saying already that they never/rarely match balanced clans. There's also people on here claiming post-update that they've matched engineers as a squeaky clean non-engineered (although without independent scrutineering that might or might not be entirely true). So if there is any evidence for an engineered/non-engineered hard split, it's very weak indeed. Nothing about it sounds very different to before.

And if there IS now some sudden cut off, frankly unless SC tell us what is "right" you have no chance of dealing with new TH players. Dropping infernos at the start of TH10 is half the entire defence upgrades instantly - which would appear to make the player significantly lopsided in favour of defence. Yet not doing so get's called engineered despite having equal defence and offence scores.

If your last two wars, I take it they were from new MM, you are seeing a change, then it means you are in the extrem engineering pool.

Try a war with less engineered bases.

looking at ripple's #'s he posted, and compared to what i posted 2 pages ago..
i'd call my lineup this war more engineered than his..
yet we drew about as non lopsided a clan you see these days?

i personally dont think there are "pools"
of course we'll never know i guess.

both wars since new mm. Same lineup from us. 2 dramatically different opponents.

I am willing to give this time, but thinking there is going to be a better result, I believe is wishful. Maybe a more random result, but not consistently better.

MM is goofy for sure. Last war we had 3 TH11's at top, they had 2 TH10's and a mini TH11. This war we have 3 TH11's at top, they have 2 TH11's and semi max TH10. Both wars with the new MM. Both wars was/is pretty much even overall, with us having the advantage.

The changes we did a few weeks back was to reduce the defense/offense curve, we had a lot of bases with very low defense. Prior to having done that we were getting some crazy wars here and there. After those changes, wars have been good.

We did tie a war 3 wars ago (Our win streak at that time was 12), pre new MM, they had 8 wardens to our 3, and the reason we tied was my fault. My funneling went sides ways with the queen ending up going on the outside hitting walls. My base was hit 7 times. LOL

Without explaining details of breakdowns that no one cares about ill just say it's been more horrific than ever since the update.

a lot of people care about them though
