Possible solution for high level trophy hunters: Pro League

[sandiego]

I've seen a lot of talk about fixing high level trophy hunting but I haven't liked any if the solutions.

I'm sitting over 3800 currently but have lost interest due to the hero nerf & the structure of the game at higher trophy levels.

This is the best solution I have to fix the problems. Please give me your feedback.

Make a new Pro League. It will have different rules. Entry point into the league would be at 3600 trophies.

Pro league rules:

Your war base will be used.
Don't need to wake heroes so everyone will have base protected by heroes.
Traps and defensive structures reload automatically if you have enough resources.
Receive shield for defeat only, no 40-49% shield.
Shields last only three hours.
You can set a sleep shield start time which lasts for 12 hours. Any shield you get during this time will last until 12 hours after the start time unless you attack and break your sleep shield.
Being online does not shield you.
Attacking does not take away your shield unless you are on a sleep shield.
Everyone enters Pro League with 3000 subtracted from their current trophies to start.
Searching will attempt to match with another Pro League member for 5 minutes then will search for highest available target outside of Pro League. There will be no minimum trophy level for this search, it will pair you with highest available target.
Matches within Pro League will always generate 9 trophies available. 3 for 1 star 6 for 2 stars. Loss on attack will cost 20 trophies.
Matches outside of Pro League will be 2 trophies available. 1 trophy for 1 or 2 stars. Loss on attack will cost 30 trophies.
Pro League players can not be attacked by those in lower leagues.
If you reach 0 trophies you will be placed into master league at 3000 trophies.

So let me know what you think of this type of structure and what it's flaws are.

The things I want to achieve with this type of league is to:
Stop the advantage I.MOD users have with staying online and shielded.
Make players go on defense more than 1-2 times a day. This setup would create about 4 defenses a day.
Correct the giant disparity you have of trophies you can win on attack versus what you lose on defense.
Stop searching times of over 10 minutes.

100% yes. This is sorely needed to fix the clouds issue. There has to be some way to balance the grind with the skill of high level attacking. I've always thought it is silly that a 50% 1 star and a 70% 1 star are scored the same.

I would like more input from any champ level players stuck in the clouds.

Make a new Pro League. It will have different rules. I would stagger the entry point to pro league to give those higher up a temporary advantage by letting them in sooner. First wave would include all those 4000+, next season it would include 3800+, the final step would be the next season including everyone 3600+.

Pro league rules:

Your war base will be used.
Don't need to wake heroes so everyone will have base protected by heroes.

Definitely a great start. I like most of the ideas you presented. Only thing I don't like is the fixed trophy amounts, I like the excitement of finding that one jackpot worth 20+ trophies, however rare it is.

Agreed clouds are a real issue and the post was a good idea

Yes, I like that as well.

Maybe it would be possible to have a range of trophies available for a match in Pro League but I feel its important to have a minimum above 6. The higher maximum you allow the more you can lose on defense as well. Maybe a maximum of 20 would work. That would be 7 for 1 star and 14 for 2 stars, still pretty reasonable.

the clouds really take a long time to disappear....
i support this idea although i am never going to go there......

Some points you say are good bro but i cannot understand that 3 hour armor if its not in sleep mode? So everyone would simply leave it in sleep mode all the time.

The pro league sounds terrible, legends league sounds better
