    i'ld say half and half depend on situations. you can say on lower leagues we mostly using strategy as the troop build aren't expensive as those in high champs. but u know dude, high champs doesn't only need substantial amount of money to staying on, but strategy too (I've heard we would spent 5-10$ a day just for boosting barracks to do attack on high champs).

    So , in conclusion, i'll say half on strategy and half on pay.

    Honestly it's pretty balanced until you get to TH9 and TH10. I refuse to believe someone with level 40 heroes and a maxed level 11 wall TH10 base hasn't gemmed or paid.

    More pay to win.

    While there is strategy to it, you have very limited control.

    Many other games offer way more control.

    Most of the time, it's are your troops better than the defense? And vice versa.

    Yes there is some strategy involved. Vs even players, it does come down to this.

    For the most part tho, it really is who is further along than the other.

    When it comes to max bases, and I mean everything, walls, heroes, etc, that's is when you start seeing real strategy.

    If you're not maxed out completely, then, while strategy helps, it comes down to who is further along.

    Half.

    I mean, you can sit all day waiting for upgrades or put all your effort into raiding OR you could just pay a couple bucks and skip all that.

    Not a very good poll :(

    The problem is everyone here has a different perception of the terms you are using. So you won’t get a good understanding of what people are thinking.

    I contend clash of clans is NOT pay to win because everything you can buy with gems you can get through time. You could argue it is pay to speed up. Getting to end game quicker than the guy next to you =/= winning.

    Spending money is NEVER at ANY point necessary. Are you asking what is the likelihood of people spending? Because thats an interesting too. But nobody has ever NEEDed to spend money
