War MM & Cannon Cart changes - the FEEDBACK thread!

[Summermilk]

were you expecting a fair match when you decided to take that defeseless and those engineered bases to war? you weren't, I don't know, trying to get an.... hmm.... advantage over the opponent by engineering your clan, were you?


I guess it backfired

This is a feedback thread, correct me if I'm wrong. Your comment is stupid.

Has there been any word from supercell since their new totally unfair fix to war mm?

why do I feel that you wouldn't be here giving your feedback if your engineering had worked

yes: .

Seeing how Clan War matchmaking is affected by the updates is something we're constantly monitoring. There have been quite a bit of positive feedback from the changes so we're happy with how it has been going. However, it's no surprise that those of a competitive mien will find new and creative ways to min/max the new system as well. One of the things we shared was that we can make adjustments to the weighting system as needed if that is what needs to be done. It's only been a few days so the reports wouldn't give a fair statistical sampling of what's going on at the global level. I can anecdotally say our matchups in my own Clan have been much better as well, as our past 2 wars have been very challenging and closer to a near 50/50 chance of winning. But, I've seen a few instances where it hasn't been perfect either - and that's inevitable due to the law of averages and the nature of statistical anomalies.

In short, we're keeping an eye on it and seeing how the landscape evolves with these changes. If further tuning needs to be made, we'll make sure to communicate changes are incoming as well.

So you acknowledge there are many engineering clans out there loving this new matchmaker and just not commenting about it? Nothing about the new matchmaker suggests it is going to hurt engineering. It might change it, as every matchmaking change does, but nothing suggests so far that it will end it or even lessen it. I keep seeing maxers matching up against big engineering clans and at a huge disadvantage. I don't care if a maxer clan gets 3 straight good matches, if they get a horrible one against an engineering clan on that 4th match, they have no chance at a win streak, they probably will think it is unfair, they will quit or add their own engineering. The new system doesn't appear to be working based on forum feedback. Maybe SC has access to something else to suggest otherwise.

Matchmaking has been either close, or way in favor of opponents. We are a pretty good war clan, 350-95 record and typically only lose to extremely engineered clans that can 3 star our 1 and 2. We typically only leave 1 or 2 stars on the table. Our clan has 1-9.75, 1-10.5, and 5-9.5. Only the 9.75 would consider "engineered". The others are early enough in their TH level to be considered on a smart progression. Most of these opponent TH 10s & 11s have max traps and are matched up with our TH9s. Forcing our 10s to drop to get them. Luckily, we have a very good core of attackers at the TH10 Level. Here is the simple breakdown of our last 2 wars and the current war.

win 59-55, this was a good matchup.
TH us them
11 2 3
10 7 8
9 8 8
8 0 1
7 2 1

loss. 43-43, this matchup was in their favor but we did well, lost on %
TH us them
11 3 6
10 6 2
9 6 5
8 0 2

in progress, but will be another loss I think, match is far in their favor.
TH us them
11 3 8
10 8 9
9 7 3
8 1 0
7 1 0

Please consider not allowing lower town halls in war.
Our lasted matchup the enemy clan has 2 more th9s than we do because of their th4 sandbag...

Not only does destroying this base give no reward, but, it also reduces the amount of earnable XP for winning the war...

[StickySword]

we just got 4 strong TH 11s vs. 2 TH11s in a 10 vs. 10 war... ouch!
