Th9.11’s: asset or liability?

[ZenSpa]

We don't have any in my clan, but we do match up against them. It seems to me their advantage has been reduced recently, partially with the warden weight increase but even a little before that. They seem to now be treated more like 10.5s or early 11s. There is nothing scientific here, I'm just going off what I've seen lately. The last few clans we matched with 9.11s didn't have an advantage.

9.11 no advantage? A few top clans with long wins streak have them. For eg, Bangkok b War has only 9.11 and it is doing quite well, with 300+ wins streak.

Oh, you mean like the very author of this thread asking what others are experiencing? You know, the one that is in the best war streak clan of all time?

I didn't say they weren't ever an advantage. I said it seems based on the matchups we have had recently their advantage has been reduced. The rest of the roster makes a big difference, though.

Asset. Just asset.

I would say they are a pain in the asset for my clan when we match them.

Especially those like Ripples - a max defence 11 except infernos and eagle. Even those with 1 or 2 less xbows are a problem.

Does anyone find it strange that someone who I would guess has intimate knowledge of the MM is asking this question. Are the martians preparing for a change of course due to the new MM? Just seems a odd person to come to the forums for engineering advice. I can't be the only one perplexed by this.

my money is on liability but not sure, we rarely see them but when we do we win.

the clans that we lost to in the past that had a bunch of 9.11s are all on 0-3 win streaks and routinely complaining about the MM in their description every few days

True but Martians dont use any base such as "9.11s"

C’mon, do you really think a Martian would have an ulterior motive? Say it ain’t so.

I agree with some that 9.11 definition gets blurry.

Bases can vary so greatly from the rushed th9 that decides to just go up town halls to try out the warden to the extreme hardcore manicured base like the ones in the clans with long war win streaks.

The purpose of the questions was precisely to distinguish at what point during base progression a 9.11 starts or stops being an asset/liability.

I think that as far as the War finder is concerned and for the good of the clan, a max offense 11 without inferno and eagle is better for clan composition then a max offense 11 with maxed th9 quota defenses. For just a bit more weight, you can pretty much guarantee not to be 3 starred by the majority of th10's and some th11's.

If your opponents don't have much over th9 or th10, you might be able to rock the true 9.11.

A th11, like ripples, doesn't get the advantage of preventing healing from infernos. But, thanks to the latest few "updates" from SuperCell, the additional damage from the additional levels of point defenses offsets just about as much damage as the infernos would prevent healing. And you get to spread it all over the map.

The point defense level increases only made bases like ripples stronger in my opinion. Making them more efficient for the weight.
