Simple solution to clan war missmatching

[Jietoh]

Make it so wars only start every 2, 4, or 6 hours. Why has nobody thought of this already!?

Umm... Yea, I proposed this a while ago, link to the thread is in my signature... I fleshed it out with more detail than you did...

I'm pretty sure i'm right because i remember looking at the searching/ start war screen when we weren't searching and a war would just start. I guess i could be wrong and one of the Cos could have started it and it happened so quick i didn't notice it but... it sure seemed that way

i am sure of what I said bcz in the videos introducing clan wars it was said that u won't be in war unless u r searching

Genius idea. I like it. Maybe not every 2 hours. Given the population of clans, even every 30 minutes should work fine. In 2 hours, you have other issues, like, say someone leaves the clan in the middle of those 2 hours? How should supercell handle that case? If the war request gets cancelled, you have to again wait for a co to come online and again think about how to reorganize your clan for the 40-man or 45-man war thing, and they try again. From supercells perspective, if too many people face this issue, not enough wars will take place. So, it may have a potentially adverse affect of what you are trying to do. So instead, it should be much less than 2 hours. 15 minutes even. But good idea!

I addressed this in my thread on this same topic, see the link in my sig...

I am part of a very active clan and we enjoy wars a lot. we win a lot! (46 wins to date) well... at least we used to. It seems that when wars were first introduced all you really needed to win was be an active clan. Most wars were pretty fair and there were plenty of match-ups due to not being able to stop your clan from being in wars. I thought this worked fine. At least most wars were fair! Now since clans don't have to participate, the pool that they are matching from has become much smaller! This is the problem! And it seems to be snowballing! The more unfair match-ups that happen the less clans are willing to participate. The less clans participating the more unfair match-ups are forced to happen.

I have been on both sides of this problem and i love destroying an other clan, but its really not that fun when its too easy. I would rather do it with great strategy.

This sucks and SC needs to fix it!


So here is my simple solution:

Make it so wars only start every 2, 4, or 6 hours. Why has nobody thought of this already!?

This would greatly increase the number of clans in the pool when match-ups were made. Thus increasing the probability of fair match-ups. I don't know anybody that would trade quicker matching for less chances at fair matches! Simple SC! Just do it!

It should be very simple to change the searching screen to one that said "competitors are being assembled next war starts in XX minutes"

I also think that there should be no canceling! If your not ready too bad! wars last 2 days! That is 2 days of planning for the next war! but maybe they could add an option to see when the next war starts before you commit to it.

They could even add an option to automatically be part of the next war to start while the current war is still going on so clans don't have to wait a few hours in between. this would also help clans that like to follow a schedule.

seems logical.
Like.

I'm not sure how a large pool matters since it's not like the MM just selects anyone after you start your search

Please read my proposal linked in my thread. If you still don't understand how it will help, I'll be happy to explain it differently either there, or in this thread...

Sorry i did not find your post originally. I did a thorough search for this type of solution before i posted. I would have happily given credit where it is due. I think it is more important that we make make SC aware of this.

Bumped yours

Is there a better explanation of how they do the match ups somewhere? all i can find is their lame vague thread about how defenses and offenses are important.

Is 4 weeks shorter than 6 days?

That quote is sort of taken out of context. I was replying to Gadzair who was saying that a larger pool allows better match making so I replied that pool doesn't really matter because it's the boardening of the acceptable targets that cause mismatches. Besides, it'd be more convenient if match making was simply very narrow in the beginning and doesn't widen as much as it does currently

Edit: Now that I've read your post, the first paragraph does point to this OP Interesting resolution
