If you are winning 80/20 in the past, shouldn't you already be in trophy range 5000 and above before update? And shouldn't you already maxed your BH7 when BH8 is released and you are ready to upgrade?
The game will not be fair as long as it is progressing, upgrading game. Somebody will always be ahead of you. Factor in gems and money, you are more likely to be behind somebody than to be ahead. And with that, you are in a disadvantage position when you stays at a BH7. And the more time you wait, the more disadvantages you have.
Simple example. In BH7 have 2 Gold Mines and 2 Elixir Pumps. The production rate per hour is 6K of each resources. While in BH8 you will have 3 Gold Mines and 3 Elixir Pumps. The production rate per hour is 10.5K of each resources.
So the difference is 4.5K each resources per hour. In a day, BH8 produce more passive income of 72K resouces. That's a big difference for a month, which is 2.16 Million resouces difference. You could choose to wait SC to revamp their system, sure. Meanwhile, a lot of players are already in BH8 and having 2.16M more passive income per month.
And when you are a BH8, you will get back to winning 80/20. In a while you will reach highes trophy count and increase your loot bonus. There is really only disadvantages staying in BH7.
