Clan War Matchmaking is ♥♥

[Bonedoc]

How in the world does SC come up with these war matchups? I've read the FAQ and all it says is some garbage about being matched up based on "relative strength." That is total ♥♥.

Until the last update I was a maxed TH10 and our whole clan is TH10 and advanced TH9s, so I'm not complaining about the level TH count like I see in so many other threads. I have lvl25 AQ and lvl 20 BK, all from farming. My gold grab is about 670 million. This was in a 30v30 war as well.

In our current war (which we didn't bother fighting in because it was so unfair that the only chance we had of winning is if the other clan didn't attack at all), I was ranked as my clan's #1 player. In looking at the opposing bases, it wasn't until I got down to their #10 base that I found something similar to mine--similar walls an hero levels. From 1-7 they had maxed heroes and lvl10+ walls. Their top guy had almost 2 billion gold grab! So almost 33% of the other clan was better than the top player in my clan. In what universe is that even fair? I really don't expect to win every war, but to not even have a fighting chance is taking the fun out of this game, especially now that the loot is also ruined (but that's another topic for another forum).

I would really like SC's input on this, or anyone else with some credible information about how these clan war matches are rigged, errrrrr, made.

I'm not doubting your mismatch (my last counterpart had zap walls and combined L68 heroes with maxed defenses... I have L9 walls, combined L34 heroes and about half maxed defenses) but when it comes to GG, this has NOTHING to do with anything, nor should it. Why would that even need to be brought up like it should means something?

... the person who was my counter had 2 billion GG and EE but had never even been to C2 in trophies which showed in his attacks. He spammed my base with giants and let his heroes do all the work for an easy 2*. He could have very easily made a decent GoWi__ army and 3* my base. But, once a farmer always a farmer I suppose. Same thing vs our #2 base which is a mid range TH9. Spammed giants with his high lv heroes for the 3*. Sad to watch even though it was effective.

The reason I mentioned the GG, and in this case the 1.3 billion differential between the top players in each clan, was to give you some idea on how disparate the matchup was. That 1.3 billion gold was spent on his base. That doesn't seem relevant to you? I agree that shouldn't determine matchmaking, but it does give you some idea about the differences in strength of a base, which is how SC purports they create matchups.
