War matching I think needs work

[Aspekt]

To OP, their number 9 is not better than your 1. We dont know how each category are weighted in the algorithm, but as far as I know, heros are weighted pretty heavily. Also, you cannot compare 1 vs 1, and 32 vs 32. you have to look the whole clan. And TH level and XP level means nothing.

Now, it does seem like they are higher, but if you average out everyone's base, it would be closer than you think.

Very lopsided by glance.

Definitely keeping track of this thread and very interested on what the naysayers have to say now. There have been a few others with slightly lopsided matches and these threads with screenshots went unnoticed because barely anyone commented with the usual "matchmaking is balanced", "matchmaking not based on TH levels", and "matchmaking not based on experience level" craps.

Yes by glance it might be. And OP is the only person in recent post actually showed pictures of the bases and not just TH/XP level. and no one said matchmaking is balanced. We only repeat what Supercell has said, matchmaking is not based off XP/TH level.

if u hv tis for war, juz forget it. i knw alot of clashers doesnt like wat i m gona say, but just dnt bother abt cc troops or attcking. no point losing resources. find anoter war 2 days later. game is supose 2 b fun, n not frustrating or stresful.

this isnt twitter, you dont have word count restriction.

I have found this, where do they talk about match making time?

here,

Hey Chief,

Clan wars matchmaking is not done by XP level or town hall, but rather a score based on the level of your defensive buildings, traps, and more.

Also keep in mind that if matchmaking were too strict, it would be very difficult to find any matches at all. We realize that this can result in some unfair matches, but it's better than the alternative of not finding any matches at all.

Hope you have better luck in your next war, Chief.

Clash On!

I have notiched that
my opponent leader (it wat the stronger TH10 )

1. start the search of opponent

2. exit immediatelly the clan as search was started !

3. finally ... after the search was completed (and my clan selected )
the big boy return to his clan

he also try to enter my clan (that was not closed) ... before return to his home

Now my question:
is possible than exiting imediatelly as search is started
the village is not counted for matching ?

if so this is baaaad bug and explay a lot of thinks !

No. thats not how it works. As soon as the search is started everyone that was in the clan, at that time, is part of the search and part of the war. Anyone can leave the clan during a war and come back and still use their attacks because they are still part of the war.

From my experience, if matchmaking is taking more than 5 min to find a match cancel the search and retry in 10 min. Ive been doing this for our last dozen wars and every war has either been a fair match up, or stacked in our favor. But it hasn't been stacked against us since I started doing this. We've won each of them and tied once because too many of us were on vacation.

If the search is taking more than 15 min, you will have a great chance of getting a horrible match up.

We found that the match making system is very unbalanced and we have the proof below.



As we can see their number 9 is better than our first.



Is this balanced!?



Cowards have spies too!?

[/QUOTE]


Let me start in order of the things you said:
Firstly you do not have proof, just loads of pictures showing us about the 2 clans
Secondly your no.1 is may not be the best in the clan, and its not a bad thing to gem. You could gem and your clan would be way better.
You are just picking up the numbers in which they are better in, add up all the clan details and then show us your proof.
Spies are everywhere, its common sense. Its YOUR fault for not looking and now YOUR the one complaining about spies. Look at the 2 clans and then accept. Do not blame them for having the desire in war.
Also, you could so definitely win tis war if you had the desire to, you are saying you have no chance but remember you can also take ADVANTAGE of the better clan:
They might think your a not so good clan compared to them, and they might be slacking on the attacks


Sorry if I sound rude, I just don't like it when people complain about something that is perfectly fine.

Funny thing is my clan is in war, and it is kinda like the situation you posted here, but just the opposite. We have more level 100+ and we have more TH10, but we are losing......

No need to bold my word, I of course know what I wrote.

This isn't the only thread with screenshots, or at least more detailed breakdown that I've seen. What really annoys is that the same old "matchmaking blah blah" gets plastered repeatedly by different posters on about every thread when only difference in TH levels and experience level are listed. I believe many of these posters already checked the differences in defensive buildings before posting, they just didn't put in the effort to listed everything out and instead just used TH level or experience level as indicators.

There are people who said matchmaking is very balanced (a little offset is acceptable, I'm sure no one expects perfectly balanced match every war), and there are also a few who refuse to believe the words that these battles as this one exists. (I mean, look at the post above - also very annoying that he had to quote the images as well, or tried to)

If your clan fought and won such war due to having high activity and/or strategic planning and lack of these from the other clan, good for you and you have something to brag about. But the war is not any more balanced.

Also, move on after a loss war, don't get discouraged.

You are giving those people too much credit... I honestly think they do not compare anything other than TH/XP level. Their post never mention about defense building's level, and even if they did they compare only 1 or 2 bases.

I have no idea why people think matchmaking is very balanced, either they have yet to face a harder opponents, or they are just really good at attacking... But what I am saying is, people are blind by the TH/XP level, because if their first impression after seeing the TH/XP level is unfair, they will fail to see everything else.

Even during a one-sided war, I would encourage everyone to attack, so what if you lose and waste elixir? If you can have more practice why not take it? It would help the clan in the long run

post pic proof please

Losing that much wars is more likely due to your clan's teamwork issue. People are probably leaving or not attacking wisely, if at all. I've seen many 'any one can join' clans do better than that and they're vulnerable to hoppers and spies

No, getting SuperCell to notice this match making issue is definitely not the focus, especially since there has yet to be any substantive proof of unbalanced wars. While I believe there are issues, I do not know how big it is because no one has provided evidence. You and LURKnMERK came to say that you've had unfair wars yet there are more people on this thread who has no problem so even if SuperCell notices this thread, the topic will go ignored since it looks like there's just some angry war vets (no offense intended)

First pic is showing our six th10s other pics show how many th10s they have and their th6

I to have these problems, we get paired with stronger clans to!!! I read up on it and everything said that you get paired by the strength of peoples troops and spells and overall strenght.

[Sirix]

Ah, I meant base pics to see the level of the defense since I believe people when they count the number of TH levels. It's the base strength that I'm wondering about. TH level really doesn't have much effect on your clan strength in itself since I had a clanmate who gemmed 2 TH levels, 2 lab upgrades, and 1 lv4 dragon upgrade yet he only went up 1 spot in our clan rankings
