It’s getting impossible as a casual player

[Sparky692006]

Now I know I’m gonna get my base smashed at the end of every time shield etc runs out, that I don’t care about or losing the res as it’s easy to get back.
what is annoying me, every attack I do I get offered 5-10 trophies on my attack, if its from 1 search or 30-40 searches as Most offerings cost me to attack if I didn’t keep nexting. But so many times I’m losing 30-40 trophies in one hit in a defence. As a casual player I may get in 4-5 attacks a day, and this has been happening for a long time, it took me 1 month to get to where I am now which is titans 3. As all it was all my attacks was wiped out with one defence.
I only wanted to see what I can do as a personal goal, and now I know, I need at least 2 people on the 1 account to get anywhere with this game along with boosting my barracks, so I’m not only attacking once every hour if I remember to as general life is more important
250 trophies I’ve lost over about 25 defences, average of 10 per defence, and mine is an average of 6 per attack over a 10 attacks, the problem is it’s completely out of my control on what is offered to me and what’s going to be taken away from me so how can I ever get to a better bonus or higher in the leagues when I’m being offered a negative trophie per day like that.
i know it’s harder to find bases above me to attack for higher trophies as shield etc, but you are not telling me that people below me can’t match in the same league, as that is all I’m offered to attack, with a huge loss if I mess up.
I would be the first to put my hands up when I used to read something similar saying about this and go, it can’t be that bad surely as people are a lot higher in trophies. I guess I was very wrong.

So in-conclusion I’ve personally found, have life = never getting to great heights in the leagues

i may as well, just drop down to crystal and have fun on the game and not care about it

Pushing trophies isn't really for casual players. At least that been my observation.

[mattyboo1]

This game is actually easier than ever for the casual player especially with the revamped shield system and magic items as well as reduced upgrade times.

Agree with Klavious..

There are lots of ways people can play Clash but I think pushing trophies and casual don't necessarily go hand in hand....

Your final conclusion is definitely wrong as it is based on the incorrect assumption that someone with a different life than yours that allows much more than 5 attacks per day means they have no life. They have a different life. It might be better, worse, the same, whatever, but there is no way for you to know based on the trophies they have.

I have a demanding job, 4 children, a missus, a dog and a cat. I've also got some fish but they don't require my attention that much.

I also have a relatively active social life.

I have no issues whatsoever playing in legends. No issues at all.

I consider myself to have a life and a good one at that so I must disagree with your conclusion.

Just a case of time management and patience. Nothing more.

[kiyamu]

Yup, agree with the others.

I have been pushing in legends (well as much as I can) for the last several months and I have a demanding job, a family (one little son --- 8 months old) and a social life (as much as you can get with a demanding job and the family I mentioned above ).

I get to do 4-8 "real" attacks per day and am happy to spend hours my phone searching for a base in the cloud(s). I do my attack (generally to the very first base that pops up) if I can pay attention to the game for 2-3 minutes at that time. If not, too bad, but there is always the next one...

One thing that might be affecting your experience is: what TH are you? Also, are you comfortable attacking (not 3-starring) almost max TH12s? Previously, I pushed to legends as a near-max TH10 and it was very stressful. It took too long to find a base to attack where I can even 1-star and it was difficult to regain the trophies I lose. However, not I am pushing again as a near-max TH11, life is much simpler: I rarely get 3-starred (and if I do, that is generally above trophies so I lose less trophies) and I rarely lose battles, which is pretty important to stay where you are. I also rarely 3-star my enemies, but that is okay; most of the time 2-stars are enough to climb (albeit slowly ).

Not sure why this is upsetting? I am far from casual.... borderline obsessive clasher actually, but I am more a war and babble type clasher.

Last night I was doing clan games and boosted barracks , ended up getting close and pushed... all the way to.... champs 3. I stared at my fancy badge, and realized it will be gone in moments. If I only raid when clan games are on, I am gonna stay in masters forever... I accept that.

Game is fun for me right there in masters, max 9 base, war and get yelled at in global for having a bad base or for not moving up to th10. (I moved one account to th10 this week, cannot do two). Fun.

I am able to clash a lot because

a) I have no life...

or

b) I enjoy clash so I prioritize that as a hobby. I ducked into the cat food aisle last night to do a raid to get clan games totals. I usually do not watch tv so I have that time too (Game of Thrones excluded, that show rocks). I have time to push push push if I wanted as I have time to clash. I also have a an informal and unofficial fiance, a PAID writing job, a high GPA as a full time student, a part time sub teacher, and a part time job to help pay bills.

Assuming a sweet profile or league is a sign of "no life" is not a fair assumption at all.

[ApolloBear]

No reason imo for a casual clasher to push to Legends with it so cloudy as of late. Probably be just as frustrated when your booted while sitting in the clouds.

Couple of points I haven't seen touched on. One, you never mentioned what level your Townhall is. Two, we don't know how well developed it is, Third, we don't know your base layout.

All three of these points can play a serious impact on how easy of a time you have pushing, but like others said pushing isn't a casual activity. Although I'd say on a well developed base attacking 5-6 times per day should easily put you in low level Legends; I know it does for myself if I don't actively manage my trophies to stay lower.
