I just finished farming mine yesterday, so i could be a little biased
altho a lot of troops do bypass walls, i still feel that there is value in them. I have noticed that ground troops (even if they are only mop up troops) are seriously slowed down by them..and i do seriously believe in the intimidation factor.. If i see lava walls i pretty much always next as the defenses are likely to be maxed too!
another point to consider (and im probably living in hope to justify the time and gold spent here!) is that you never know what troop is going to be popular next. IMHO supercell will want people to do walls, im sure its a good source of revenue for them... So they could very well realise in a minute that they are discouraging people from upgrading them, turn around and bring out the next big thing... And high level walls could be the big defence.... I am sure i will be glad at that point!
Playing the game wrong since Feb 2013 - Retired Feb 2016
Here here.
I reached Masters recently with lv 8 & 9 walls. Had a couple of GoWiWi attacks giving me serious problems, higher level walls would have seriously helped me there.
A few times after a Hog/Loon strikes here comes lv 20+ heroes [lv 37 in one case...geez]. Those walls are invaluable to slow them ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥s down and prevent total losses.
I will be grinding my walls further.
Untill there is a L7 WB they are worth it.
L9 takes 2 max WB's
L10 takes 3
L11 takes 3
So based on that I would say L10 are definitly worth it but not L11
planning on winning defenses at 2800+?

Current range - Master 1-2 and 50% of my defenses are against ground troops. 10-11 walls definitely slowing down attackers.
I say it is worth to have them but not worth of loosing personal health and great real life experiences. Just take your time and farm...
Air attack, hogs, jump spell
with that said, maxing walls is the last thing you should do in-game, my opinion ofc
many attacks in champion league are hog and baloonions based
Well of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't.. Defenses are definitely important!
They are the heart of battles. But that doesn't mean walls aren't important?
Upgrading a wall here and there wont hurt you every now and then, Just don't neglect them butters.
If your a farmer and don't push then stay at Lv 7- Lv 8 walls thats perfect,
But don't rule walls out completely because Lv 9+ is overkill for farming, For pushers walls
Are vital to slowing down heavy attacks mainly gowiwi etc which makes them highly desirable in ranks.
