War matching I think needs work

Sorry puritan didn't realise I thought you said you supported the petition

No worries....
I wish everyone here the best of luck with their wars!

The solution is clan war leagues. Matches are still calculated the with the same metrics that they are now, however you are only matched with a clan in your league. leagues are based on win loss ratio over the last 10 wars. 10% league, 20% league.........80% league, 90% league, 100% league. The clan crest would get a badge affixed to it corresponding to the league.

So your answer to having unbalanced wars is to restrict the search criteria even further. Makes sense. Instead of having an 8 th10 disadvantage there will be a 20 th10 disparity. Do you guys even think before you post?

Guys......There is no way matchmaking will EVER become perfect. It would take far too much time, and the bases still would not be perfectly equal. Instead, DEAL WITH IT. If your clan puts out a strong enough effort, you will win the war. I also don't see people complaining when they get a super easy matchup.....Only when they have a tough war do they start complaining. Deal with it and find a way to win. I know you can do it.

I dont expect to have matching be perfect, and I am not afraid of a challenging war. Check out my clans latest war match...Red Lake Arms vs. UAE WORRIORS. Do you think this is even remotely close to a fair match? I started a thread asking for opinions, but it has yet to be "approved".

The whole game is based around waiting for things to finish, so why would waiting for a fair matchup be ridiculous?

LOL wat? Did you even read before posting? The only disadvantage would be that war searches would take longer, but I would rather wait an hour for a sporting matchup than have get a match that is either a blowout or we win in a walk after a 5 minute search.

We just finished a war with twice the stars of the enemy, it was almost worse then the last 6 matchups that we had no chance of winning.

Ya that's nice. How's the 5% win ratio going.

The disadvantage is that you are essentially removing a huge chunk of the possible matchups pool. If it takes this long already to get a "fair matchup", it's only either going to give you a matchup that is even worse then what you think now, or you'll just be in queue until your next townhall upgrade. It's a stupid idea really. How likely is it that you're going to find a clan with the same bases as you and the same win ratio.

I have posted an ACTUAL fix to war matchup issue in the ideas and features request forum...

The link is below in my sig. Please post a comment in the thread if you agree it will work, or even better, point out why it's a lousy idea so I can further refine it...

Yes it involves potentially longer wait times but those wait times can be reduced to half an hour or even less if the leader plans his wars times correctly.

The league idea will have the opposite effect. limiting the pool of potential matchups by including something like wins or win percentage will result in even bigger strength mismatches or exceedingly long wait times (which is the reason we're seeing the strength mismatches in the first place. See super steve's response in this thread). Besides, very few people are complaining about being matched against clans with more SKILL, most are complaining about being matched against clans with stronger bases and troops.

Youre funny. When we have 1 player with a totally maxed base and lvl40 heros, rest are mildly built th10 and even 9 th9s, and we get paired with clans that are full th10, over 20 of them completely maxed besides blue walls with lvl40 heros(top 10 have blue walls), youre telling me that all we have to do is put in strong effort? Our last war the opponents number 32 had max heros and max th10 defense with lvl9-10 walls. He was paired with a th9 on our side. Please, elaborate and explain how our th9s are supposed to 2 star their equal with these odds against them? On the other side all they have to do is send in heros and an absolutely horrid gowipe/wi for 3 stars easily. War match making is a complete gamble, so dont talk like you have the slightest clue what we are complaining about.

This ^
Exact situation we were in, it sucked and morale dropped. The other factor is that the top 50 clans all gem heavily compared to ours(we're mostly farmers), they instantly used both attacks so they were racking up stars very quickly. Meanwhile we have to either build our army overnight, or wait several hours (3+).
