    When CWL was rolled out, TH12 was the top of the game. And I think even then, there weren't too many people who maxed it yet.

    Speculation is they never updated the seeding criteria from when CWL was initially rolled out. Stories like this are consistent with that speculation.

    If memory serves.. When 13 dropped, there was speculation around the same time that a shift had been noticed..
    It would make total sense to add or change at that time, since a whole new level was being added.
    But going off posts here, that seems to be unlikely.

    I totally get that the seeding is simply to fast track a clan into the system, rather than everybody starting in Bronze 3..
    But a more realistic starting position shouldnt be beyond the realms of possibility..
    They do carry the data after all, and could even automate the changes so they remain consistent if they desired.

    Average weights of course, due to the diversity of the format.

    Edited for thread topic update.. day 6 and we are going down..
    No sandbaggers this time, no miracles, and no chance.

    Season started badly when our #1 commented she could not make it this week..
    No shows have been the biggest disappointment tho.. hate that.. Losing is fine.

    So before day 7 kicks off against the clan currently 6th, we have told those that arent on 8 stars yet to get in early and low.. Otherwise hold your piece.
    Its Crystal 2 for us next time.

    Biggest dilemma.. hold the bases for regular mixed hall wars, which is our preference..
    Or strategically rush to make up some of the power deficit we are encountering in cwl, and have some replacements for the stay at homes.

    We finished Master 1 30vs30 at 7 and 0. We didn’t advance to Champion even though we won every war. I hope they add a Titan League, and then make Champion league 30vs30.

    Day 7 for we’re tied on overall stars in a battle of 6/7th place clans, winner stays in Cr1 lose gets demoted to Cr2. Im torn between wanting to stay in Cr1 for higher medals and being demoted to Cr2 where we are likely to be more competitive. We missed more attacks this season than the past 3 seasons combined I think.
    Villains United #9UJLRUVU - L10 Clan - Friday Wars - Always looking for TH6+ looking to do clan games. War is optional but if you're green we expect 2 attacks.

    Running 6/2/7 in M3 and amazingly will end up in second place through strategic hitups and dips. Won three wars, and might win four depending on today’s outcome. The opponent will win if they finish their attacks, but with some hours to go they are still playing chicken with 2 other clans for bottom demotion spots. LOL!

    Your clan must be lucky to get such opponents that you managed to be at no.2 with such roster in master 3.
    Usually that lineup is the one which gets crushed easily as opponents can easily take 39+ stars and no matter how you attack like dipping or lower halls getting 2 stars above, you still have a lot of chances to loose with that lineup.
    So what was the case with your clan, did you got a lot of lower clans like yours or your opponents were not completing attacks ?

    Actually i was saying this beacuse this time we were placed with toughest opponents possible, a lot of clans demoted from master2 having all th13's with all heroes max and def. almost max for all 15. Only we and 2 more clans had few th12 and few rushed th13, rest all clans were like why are they here ?
    Somehow we managed to get position 4 when cwl ended with only 2 wins. Earlier we thought we would be demoted but kudos to the guys and me (bought a lot of triples from my 4 accounts which helped to fill the fails of other clanmates) we somehow managed to stay there.

    Only one war was against all big TH13s, the other wars had a few TH12s and two wars had th11s. The rosters were 11/3/1, 10/3/2, 12/3/0, 12/3/0, 15/0/0, 9/6/0, 12/3/0.

    Got lucky in a two ways. One war, their last attacker inexplicably didn’t attack and so they lost in a tie on percentage - their clanmates must have been livid! And two, the other clans were surprisingly evenly matched and largely kept their scores down when they played each other, and they also traded wins roughly evenly (except for the #1 clan who won all their wars). I suspect they mostly hit their equal instead of hitting up and dipping, so that they sacrificed the easier stars.

    For my clan, a TH11 can hit up for 2 on a th13 almost as easily as a th12 can. There isn’t all that much difference when going for percentage + hall except for the warden ability length, but managing warden+freezes to get a glob/loon blimp to a TH is a similar play from a th11 as it is from a TH12. So the TH11s always hit up and the TH13s usually dipped.

    In my experience, the most important factor to doing well in CWL is strategy, not skill. Hit ups and dips are the best to maximize medals. Taking every attack and just farming stars works well.

    But bottom line, yes got lucky this round! With different matchups, could easily have come fifth or sixth.

    I'm sorry for the confusion, I meant to say that we are in Crystal 1. We've been running a 6/9 or 7/8 throughout most of this CWL, but we will get demoted back to Crystal 2 once the week is over. Several of our TH13s are rushed, and consequently we just aren't strong enough. Best of luck to your clan in the future.

    Clan War Summary for September:

    Pompey Misfits very strong league week finished 2nd in Masters 3

    Pompey misfits2 again solid week finishing 3rd in Crystal 3

    Mini Misfits (here comes the rant apologies in advance!) I gave the August season a miss as promoted to Gold 2 in July but I had too much going on during league week to give the time to the solo clan. So I knew September would be tough as my line up is completely out of it's depth:

    My clan is made up of 2 x th10, 7 x th9 (one being rushed), 3 x th8 and 3 x th7.

    What I didn't account for is the pure misery the week would entail that at times made me feel quite angry. Games are in essence supposed to be fun and this was the complete opposite. I completely understand why the 'there is no matchmaking in clan war league' sticky continues to grow. It's because when you face such a disparity it feel broken, and I wish it would be addressed. CWL is an event people would like to take part in but it just feels like as the month go on the spread of larger town halls continues to feed downward.

    The mini clan climbed to Gold 2 once before in February getting relegated and finishing 7th. It was a really tough week but still managed to claw 182 stars from clans that outmatched us every round.

    So this season went as follows:

    Round 1 defeat 15 - 34
    Round 2 defeat 20 - 45
    Round 3 Win 28 - 26
    Round 4 defeat 27 - 38
    Round 5 defeat 19 - 41
    Round 6 defeat 10 - 45
    Round 7 defeat 10 - 31

    139 stars total from 105 attacks. Worst week I've ever experienced playing this and over all a complete waste of time.

    As much as it's fun sometimes to be the brave underdog I think CWL is just a bad idea in future for the mini clan. The larger town halls are only going to become more prevalent as the months go on and the slow progress and static bases that make up this 15 will always be outmatched. I'm not in this to drop down on purpose for an easy ride as I always think you should try to win to the best of you're ability.

    Just feel sorry for anyone coming into this game that may have received a similar 7 day spanking. It would be a very negative experience and I think I would pick up something else that doesn't seem so imbalanced. I know you get some decent loot regardless but it's a very minor positive in comparison to the negative.

    Any chance you could post readouts over in the compendium thread? We don't have any data from M3, CR3 nor G2 yet.

    Thanks.
