5 vs 5 Clan Wars are coming!

[Fdl]

Looking forward to this ...can be fun
Some req. though..
1. All defenses has to be made, like bh (no engineering)..
2. Prep time max 4 hours..
3. War timer 12 hours..
4 Poss. to run more then 1 war / clan
5. Make a special league for 5vs5..

This probably is better of in the correct subforum?

For me these requirements would be a bit much. When someone has just moved up a TH, it's impossible to require them to wait before going to war again until every new defense has been put down. Up the TH again - that's something entirely different...

Im sad that coc thinks this is such a great idea....5v5.... lets see we used to have 50 v 50...as our most wars way back when .. then came the updates, coc dropped the 35 v 35... then came more updates, which left many clans with recruiting issues, leaving those clans with a common 10 v10 or 15 v 15 as the most players a clan could muster for war.... so 5 v5 ... is this a prelude to the dec update, and how bad the update will be that coc figures most clans will be left with 5 or so players that will still war..??.

35v35 war was our favourite format in our 50 strong clans, allowing those with heroes upgrading to sit out, and for us to throw in some fillers at the bottom to make up the numbers.

Since the loss of 35v35 we have adjusted, made a third clan etc, and now have 3 (pre aug/sept) active clans.

The fact we cannot put the newbies in the bottom anymore for risk of MM nightmare of being seen as roster engineering and getting 2xth11 vs 10 th11 like the war before last, and the general mismatches of our newly upgraded town halls following the .5 route since the update means we are now running 10v10 wars. This pool will now be depleted with the advent of 5v5 and will mean potential exotic matches are more common.

I believe the 5v5 wars will be made up from 1:new inexperienced clans, 2:dying clans, and 3:throwaway clans in the mix for experiments (5 x engineered bases etc).

I have mixed feelings about this, but can see some will be happy with it, many will not as it will pull players from the clans wanting bigger wars into small 5 man clans, many of them like the 10 base single person clans.

Like the idea but........ how this going to help clan recruit in the long run. More players will start to create more accounts and there own clans and become more anti social from the main part of the game.

That's what I had to do. My personal clan is level 7 now.

Hopefully this will reduce horrendous mismatches...

Five vs. five wars! Won't it be great?

Put five TH10s in war and...

get matched with three TH11s and two TH10s?

Oh, it sounds like sooooo much fun!

The 5v5 Clan Wars will still adhere to the normal preparation time and war duration. We have been looking into shorter, faster warring but it's not something we're ready to introduce yet. As a reminder, you can make these wars shorter if you use this option in Friendly Wars. Changing the War system to have a separate mechanic to track smaller wars separately from the main war system would require an additional overhaul of the War feature. We may do that in the future, as it's not off the table, but not yet.

Just adding my voice to the calls to make prep day shorter please in this new format. Great addition - a 'mini' war if you will. Decrease the prep time and you can market this as "mini wars". I'll charge my usual fee for providing the title. Just drop it in that special account of mine in the Caymans. Thanks

Give it Some time My friend! War MM changes are also Coming with an Alert of Grand warden weight Changes.
The 5v5 are mainly going to hea/benefit the New borned clans and Lower level clans 1-4, it would affect then 10/15/20vs10/15/20 on The same levels and further levels as well.

For me the 5vs5 is a total waste of manpower and research for the Supercell staff... this would just increase the likelyhood of ending the war with a draw or tied game, because there are only 5 players, assuming there was an even match.
