Crystal III , TH8 mid level.
I'm hovering between 1950-2020 trophies. On average, fairly sophisticated bases, built up and heroes, X Bows etc abound. Occasionally there's a base which is easy pickings....obviously a snipers going for the 250 gems and/or to say they've made Crystal.
Surprises...tons of gold and DE. Raking it in. Elixir is scarce. Understandable in that armies are getting expensive to field. An army with a decent chance of 2 stars is running about 150,000 in elixir.
Wins are still in the 80% range...but a TH8 gets wasted by the 9s ( usual attacker). That being said, there's a ton of incompetent 9s in Crystal League III. The number of successful defenses has stayed the usual I had in the lower leagues...about 40%. But they defeats are no longer one star...they are 2 with an occasional 3 star.
Caliber of player? The good are very good. But on average there's better players farming in the lower leagues.
Reason to be in Crystal? The gold and DE. The strategy needed to attack. The different armies faced. Attacks are not as quick if logged off. I've gone an entire night with a nice gold amount to loot ( 190ish).
Reason to not stay in Crystal? No elixir. If you aren't maxd in Collectors, I cannot see how a TH8 stays in Crystal. The bigger hauls are well protected and difficult for The level troops. If you Barch and don't use other troops and strategies...you may make Crystal, but you ain't stayin'.
My impressions. Comments?
