League update: FEEDBACK here

[supermar10]

My problem with the leagues is that they're not a real league. It's more a ladder that you move up through to get to the next group of ladders. If it was a real league, I'd be stuck with a group of people and I would either fight it out with them, or I would would compare my winning percentage against the winning percentage of other people in the league. You would have to have a minimum number of matches to qualify to win the league. Then after the time period, the top few are awarded a bonus. And the bonus is 200,000 gold or 200,000 elixir, or you can decide a mix between the two. You could have a slider saying i want 175000 gold and 25000 elixir, or something like that.

My thoughts exactly. There should be an incentive to to be in the top 3 of your league.

I can not find resources and it takes more Elixer than its worth to even battle. I have a Town Hall 9 I can not find Gold or Elixer worth going after without spending 50-70 K in next battles to find it. Although if you are a new Player then the Loot is all there for the taking. New players have the advantage with the change and the players that started this game when it started are at a stand still. Doing nothing. The bonus is not worth anything when an upgrade is 5-7 Mil!

I honestly think that making levels not appear in chat is the worst addition to this game. We spend months and months getting our levels up then one day… poof it's gone in global and clan chat. >:-[ and the worst part is that I don't think Supercell has ever revoked a feature... I could be wrong but I don't think they have. It's a "like it or get used to it" mentality when it comes to new features. Don't get me wrong, I love this update, the leagues are a blast, broken down leaderboards make it easier to form a goal with cup hunting. But our levels replaced by these shields do not reflect a players experience in the game at all. I believe their goal was to make us want to impress by getting a better shield, and by giving us bonuses... 0.o I think it's something like 14k gold and elixir at 2200. Not 100% but I think it is. 0.0 honestly... Like that's gonna make ANYONE stop farming ♥♥♥♥. I hope we get out levels back in global and clan chat, but SC's previous track record with revoking new features isn't so hot, so I think my efforts are futile :/ thanks for reading

great update hopefully they add back levels though

That loot drop from 25% to 20% is not a small one. You now basically get 20% less loot than before from the villages that don't have enough loot to hit the loot cap. I think this is most of the villages.

Let's say there is a village that has 100 000 gold. Previously you would get 25 000 gold from it. Now you get 20 000 gold from it. That is 20% less than before. So it's not a small deal really. And it's not fully compensated by the league bonus.

My apologies if this has already been stated. (A 77-page thread was a bit much for me.)

It seems to me as though there are two simple solutions for fixing leagues. When I say "fix", I am speaking under the pretense that they were added in order to discourage farming and encourage trophy hunting while still providing a good amount of resources for winning battles. In this regard, the system is truly failing. To fix it, however, would be simple:

1) Increase the amount of possible loot available from a raid, not only based on town hall level but ALSO based upon league level. This would encourage people to seek higher trophy levels because of the risk:reward phenomenon.

AND/OR

2) As many others have stated, increase the loot bonus amounts. This seems rather obvious.

Either option could be implemented alone or with the other. I honestly believe that option 1 would be more effective. It would make the game more fun and more competitive. It would also add an interesting dynamic to high-level battles, where players often place their storages on the peripheries of their bases simply to slow down attackers. Were they to lose a more significant portion of these resources, it would likely lead to some restructuring and a more complex approach to base strategy.

Cheers,

Tired! I was looking forward to this "trophy leagues" but what we get? Really nothing..! Money talks! As long they earn dollars they wont give anything to the players! So pls stop buy gems! Then.. Maybe...

You don't have to be CEO of this company. Be CEO of your own. Learn app design and programming. Employ artists and creative. Market and establish a brand. Employ lawyers to contract with Apple (not easy). Negotiate fees and employee insurance. Watch the stocks and shares of yiur company fall before rising. Sink in at least a million of your own cash as a start up. Defend against advertising. Start making your first dollar. Then when you have done this, decide on whether to implement an update that will ensure your kids go to college and have a nice life, or one that makes players happy to play for free. Good luck with that.

Brilliant! I love the smell of capitalism in the morning! Very well said.

I'm not too worried about loot bonus, that is honestly marginal imo.

I am worried that loot availability seems to be drastically reduced given the new %'s, which makes it even harder to compete at th8 and th9. How are you supposed to get $6-$8MM resources to upgrade things..

I really really hope the league system is just in complete beta stage, and the idea was to just introduce it to everyone. If you can continue to build and tweak this system, I really believe this game has some staying power for people. I've seen some great comments and feedback in this forum, things like locking in your 2 week league, being able to battle people within your league, promotions, prizes for top players, etc. I hope that this is the future.

Patience. Just think of how much this game as already changed since you started playing!
