How Leagues work

[FritzMahoney]

And just to document it here and answer any lingering questions...no there is no reward for being at the top of your league when the league resets. (see attached pic. Timer down to zero, I got nada)

At this point I have to question the point of the timer for the league. Why count down and reset?

It's not like you're stuck in that league indefinitely; if you go above in cups you get bumped into the next league. If you go 100 cups below that leagues bottom end, you get demoted to the previous league.

So why have a timer and reset the league? And why not a reward for leading your league? You could make it one of the in-game "Game Center" achievements:

1. Lead your league one time: 5 Gems
2. Lead your league five times: 20 Gems
3. Lead your league twenty-five times: 200 Gems.

Or something like that!

Or why wouldn't there be at the very least a pat on the back, like a fancier medal (since that seems to be the only 'worthwhile' reward for being in a league). Like a star on top of your "Silver 1" medal (or something) if you lead the league last round.

Anyway...I think we've beat the horse into the ground on the fact that the rewards should be 10x their current amount in order for them to entice us to start gaining trophies. But at least let the league leaders have a little something on the side.

At the moment I'm between 1250 -1400 ranking farming for gold.
I don't attack someone unless I know I can get 100k-300k gold.

The reward of 2500 gold/elixir is pretty much a marginal difference. To bad there isn't more intensive to participate in this system.


I understand how larger loot awards could flood the system with too much gold/elixir though. But atleast throw in some DE for us TH7 with no drill to have something to fight for.

Agree. At least put a little bit DE to motivate Clasher to attack more often.
Cheers for DE

So low bonuses....the league system was made to stop farming by 40-50% ...and dat didnt work ....we r still farming ....the bonuses r too low ...u cant make us gain more trophies by just giving us a shiny badge....give back our levels beside our names ....it was part of us since the game started

[itoslemma]

I can understand ppl not being happy with loot bonuses. Fine. However, I have a hard time reading TH7s, who choose to stay in the 1200 trophey range cause the gold is so sweet down there, whining for DE loot bonus. For one, supercell will never do it. BK should be hard to get!! And I'm sure a nice source of revenues for SC. For two, you want DE? Put your suspenders on and giddy up.

Just saying.

(That being said, if incentives to move up is the goal of the league, then crystal 2 seems a tad high for that first DE loot bonus)

Is there a bonus for winning a league? I am at the top now with a few hours left; trying to decide whether to hold or attack because I'm bored.

No bonus at all.

Since the loot bonus could just as easily have been based on trophy counts without having any need for leagues, and since the badges don't actually give any information that is not more accurately expressed by trophy count I am going to have to say that the actual league only does two things.

1. It takes away people's levels in chat and makes it a bit easier to get a general idea of someone's trophy level (which most players hate), and

2. It shows you whether someone who is above 400 trophies has won a battle since the start of the last league season.

Not exactly all it was hyped up to be. Hopefully with a new update coming soon leagues will actually have a reason for existence.

What if the league system is just a stepping stone for a much awesome update in the future like the clan vs clan update? The loot bonus may be small but still it's better than nothing.

Was a Clan League meant to entice me to trophy hunt?



I would prefer to farm at the moment to build up TH10. The loot penalty is
already penalty enough. There is no good reason to participate in a clan
league. Being in sales management I think of, "What's in it for me?"
Really, it's not like I win anything at the end of the two weeks. Bonus? That's
what that was called, I think. Seems like a pittance to win a few trophies. As
for the shield. That's like the old saying, "What do you want a badge or a
chest to pin it on?" The shield just doesn't impress me. Please come up
with a better what's in it for me or get rid of clan league altogether.



Is anyone out there excited about this?

[UncleChitlins]

Clan vs. Clan would be such a welcome addition to the game.
