War matching I think needs work

[Inquisitor]

How is it a fair match up if my recommended target is #10 when I myself am #5 in my clan?

There were 11 people over lvl 80 (3 of which were over lvl 100) where we had only 3 (no lvl 100+).

I rank 2-3 in my clan and usually get their 10 as recommended, and we generally CRUSH those clans.

lower level clan here, best ranked base via clan wars is a no longer active th9

3 th8s then 7s and 6s

we are matched up against 2 th10s and 3th9s and 3th8s

But here's the thing, I think we're going to win. They aren't spectacular 8's and 9s and they have clear weakness to air defense, so we're going to maul them with balloons.

I usually feel like the opposing clan is stronger than ours. I usually feel like its going to be tough. And we are 41 wins 9 losses 1 tie so we usually prevail. And its often very very close, we've won 10 or 20 wars by less than a handful of stars, but thats because we have a player or two thats willing to ensure the win even at cost to them.

I think considering the complexity of the system and how impatient players probably are after starting a war... that the system is absolutely remarkably well designed.

You aren't outmatched. Obviously their defenses are really low level and they're bad at clan wars anyhow. The system is by no means a final product.

clan wars needs a rank system >_>

cw matchmaking will always be broken, if they don't add some way to measure the clans skill/teamwork/strat w/e

I've been impressed with the system so far. In a 10 person clan, with varied bases. Our clan ranges from me (Maxed TH10, with lvl 16 heroes, maxed troops and spells (aside from lvl 3 valkrie and lvl 5 goblin), majority of walls lvl 9) to a lvl 55 TH7. And it seems to do a pretty good job at finding similarly varied clans (we have 2 TH10's, both good, 3 TH 9's, rest th 8 and 7's).

Only problem is, never get matched up against clans that can take on my base. I think I've only been attacked 2 times in all our wars, only lost 1 star.

There can only be two things that will happen or that are happening right now...

supercell...does not treat this as a high priority
supercell...still has not figured out how to improve the war matching system given the amount of ideas an opinions expressed by the forum community...


what to do...what to do....but to keep playing and hope our prayers get answered.

You're supposed to? Says who? Most times the recommended target is the weakest player without stars at your TH level. It is not your counterpart on the other team, nor is it good to use it in any way shape or form. We've never used it for anything and have never cared what it says.

Your right. But i meant at the very beginning of the war right when battle day starts. The recommended target is usually a person you can't 3 star so my clan attacks lower than that. Later on in the war tho its different like you said

[awornpear]

I am the clan leader of my clan. The rule in my clan is that you will use the first attack on your counterpart in rank, #1 vs #1 and so forth. The expectation is that you will get 3 star on your opponent. We go to war once a week since clan war started, we have only lost 1 war with a score of 124-111. The first few wars were painful as members were pushed to learn how to attack for 3 stars. The clan had a steep learning curve at the beginning, now we typically get over 90% of the available stars. If you don't push yourself then you will never improve your attack skills.

Well if you guys can 3 star your counterpart in rank, then you guys basically will win every time. But, my clan has won 45 wars by NOT doing that.(my clan is Indian clan wars my name is awornpear and I'm not Indian i just joined)

SUPERCELL I don't care what kind of algorithm you use to match up Wars though the last few wars have been fairer it is to late for my and my clan is falling I have spent so much time on this game I love it but WAR its great in some ways but in others it sucks and I know there must always be a loser but my clan has been torn apart TORN APART YOU HEAR ME and still is being torn apart I have made many friends in this clan and I love m clan dearly but it has been TORN APART BEACAUSE OF WAR. War is great and there are many advocates for it but take it away its ruining my favourite aspect of the game THE SOCAIL one COC is a great game by itself but for a lot of people that's not enough the great way you have structured clans and global chat is ggggrrrreeeeaaaatttt but then again this post is not about that. Please not just for me as it is to late for me and my clan has come crashing down around me but for the people who love clash and their clans please fix war it needs to be done or clans are not the only thing that will get torn apart but the whole game will. I will never give up my clan but it is going to be a long time before I can rebuild my clan any suggestions of help for my clan or anyone interested in helping me rebuild my clan post on my recruitment thread. Please supercell look at this and think about it I'm sure you have had many complaints already please do this. If this has happened to you post what happened here and help this message grow louder so that supercell notice it sign your image status in clan and name and roughly how many member's in clan right here

And therein lies your problem....

My clans biggest problem is patience i guess. We are a clan that maxes out its th's before moving on we have 4 th9's 1 max def with over 100 Legos done other th9's about half done. We have 16 th8's with 6 max def working on skulls the rest are 3/4 maxed defenses with most only having cannons and archer towers to finish but with lvl7 walls. 10 th7's with 6 maxed finishing lvl7 walls and other 4 are close to starting walls.
We are facing a clan that has 5 premie th10's but with infernos and xbows low lvl and average between th7-9 defenses but maxed labs. They also have 8 premie th9's but with xbows lvl1's mostly and most average th8 defenses and th9 labs. They have 14 th8's with 2 of them having max defenses but lvl6&7 walls all others are comparable to our th8's minus walls. The other 3 are th7's which are even with our bottom guys.
The problem is not one of their top 13 have walls above lvl6 pinks with a few gold walls mixed in with all of them while the rest of the clan has only a few people that have some lvl7 walls.
Take our clan and everyone is above lvl7 on walls with lots of us having lvl8 walls and one half on lvl9 walls. I just want to know why walls are weighed so heavily in the matchmaking when it seems like they shouldn't. Considering the troop combos used for most war raids walls play little to no factor at all.
Maybe someone can explain this matchmaking logic to me.
I am in a clan that is 25-9 with 5 losses straight due to the matchmaking and us maxing our bases have given us bad matches these last few weeks. Before this we were having close wars decided by 3-10 stars max now we have no chance at all it seems.
