FAQ - Matchmaking

[Thegreatpuma]

Thegreatpuma We can be agree that we not think the same way.

Why should the war matchmaker "rounded down to multiples of five" to calculate strength, if there are only the participants who count.

The fact that you are asking this question makes me think you have never started a war.

When you start a war, the first thing you do is select the 5,10,15,20,25,30,40, or all 50 clan members you want in the war. That is what this quote:

The matchmaking system in Clan Wars puts your clan against another clan of similar strength both offensively and defensively, and of the same size, rounded down to multiples of five (or ten if member amount is 30+) eligible members.

is referring to. Those are the "rounded down" members they are talking about.

Thegreatpuma First, I understand what you are writing and are very tankful for helping me understanding the game.


I think about matchmaker prosess, what happen after the leader have started war search.
Then there are no reason to rounded down.
But as you mention, their language is a little sloppy and I know my understanding of English not always is right.
What I read in(links) make no sens, but what you say does.

"Once a Co-Leader or Leader starts a Clan war search, the clan is put into the matchmaking pool, and it may take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours for the matchmaking process to find a suitable clan in war."

I think about matchmaker prosess, what happen after the leader have started war search.

The reason is to cut down on the number of possibilities. If you allow anything from 1v to 50v, there are 50 different war pools. Divide by five, and there are only 10 - much easier to make a match.
In practice, best matching seems to be at 10v (ton of clans searching at 10v) and to a lesser extent 15v. Beyond that it seems to me everyone that reports fair matching at larger wars has a high tolerance for mismatch (which is cool, good for them).

Whaaaaaaaa? Is this a reference I don't get? (I'm a little slow on jokes)

The real question is, do you know what he's doing to our soil?
