Clash of Clans Matchmaking System.

[Jovias]

Likely, you've heard this before, but I wished to voice my concern regarding your current, and I use this word accurately, terrible, matchmaking system.

As it stands, anyone, and everyone can get attacked, and attack a town hall. Although this seems like a good idea at first, I've come to the realization as to how terrible of an idea this is.

Currently, I have two accounts, one for my iPod, and another for my Android. As it stand, my iPod is a lower levels, and has already been attacked 13+ times by number people with town halls 5+ levels higher than my current town hall.

That is ridiculous, in no way shape or form can a level 3 town all be expected to defend against an onslaught of level 8 town hall troops, and preparations.

It is like owning a major league baseball team, and deciding, hey, lets play those minor league soft pitch children; it is stupid.

I propose a new method for your matchmaking system, now when the search is being conducted, it will never display town halls below your own. If you are level 3, you do not ever see a level 2, if you are level 8, say goodbye to attacking people levels 3 - 7, because you are in a new league.

However, enable these people to be able to attack higher level town halls, for a greater challenge.

I wouldn't say this is game breaking, however I have to say, I've seen results from this sad matchmaking system, in which people have gladly quit after about a week or two, working to get their troops, only to have them demolished by some pretentious jerk who thinks he's the master of war for attacking those weaker than him/herself.

So hopefully, you can fix this, because as it stands, it is terrible, provide people with a challenge, and maybe help future customers stay with your game, by not having them ransacked by jerks (And I would much rather use a different word here) who are too much of a wimp to attack higher level players, or players on equal levels.

Stupid idea, every low THs like for exemple a TH7 in Champion would stay under everyone's radar there.

Edit: TH5 even.

Hi,

there is a loot penalty so the only reason to raid a TH 5+ levels below is cups, most people would be happy for a VERY low resource loss shield.

You are probably too high in cups, as a guide:

Strong TH6 - don't go above 1k cups
Strong TH7 don't go above 12-1300 cups
Strong TH8 i wouldn't venture further than 1800

Hope that helps.

The only reason there is a TH7 in Champion is because of the broken system. Reset EVERYONE, and apply this feature, and there will not be TH7 in Champion because they attacked a bunch of lower level town halls. Simple as that. Its only a "bad idea" because of the awful mechanics they already had in place.

Fix it, and you won't see low levels town halls in higher leagues ever again, everything will actually be skill based and not exploiting of a bad system.

What is it with this forum and all the rants by people who clearly do not have an understanding of how the game works?

Hello. It seems to me that the whole point of clash is that "everybody can be attacked by everybody else". Its a battle game after all. You must be in the wrong trophy range if you are feeling picked on. The loot multiplier and the trophy award system very elegantly compensates for player level and ranking IMO.

Low level THs normally get into higher leagues than they should be by sniping town halls of people who are at higher town hall levels than they are. The new strategy would be for TH6s to go to crystal and look for collector raids without fear of being attacked b/c there would be relatively few TH6s there. How would this be good for the game?

Like it or not, the majority of players in this game farm. This means deliberately dropping cups and attacking people one TH level below them (the loot penalty just about limits farmers to one level below) and amass enough resources quickly to pay for all the expensive upgrades in the game. Instead of being angry about getting stomped, why not drop cups (I am pretty sure you are too high anyway) and look for bases you can farm?
