Clan War Members

[Reaver33]

So my question is, why is it that clan wars are based upon base strength and such, but the people chosen to be in the war are based on trophy rank in the clan? Trophies have nothing to do with war as stated by Supercell, so why are the people that are put in the war based upon trophies?

Why not allow a leader or co-leader pick who is in the war when queuing up for a war? This way when you have people farming or that simply don't want to be in the war you can keep them out without having to drop trophies and very time or kicking them out. This way they keep the donations received and sent that they would lose when they were kicked.

This is not an idea- if you have any questions regarding the game please post them in the correct part of the forums.

Thanks!

To answer your questions though, trophies give us some sort of choice to be in the war or not. Whoever doesnt want to war can drop trophies and sit it out. Where if it was base strength, the weakest woukd never be in war. That doesnt seem fair now does it.

Just report the post so it can be moved to the correct sub forum. Makes more sense than telling the OP he posted in the wrong sub forum when there's nothing he can do about it.

In my opinion if your number 1 in your clan and can't be there for war you should be able to select who is in war and who is not.. It don't seem fair to ask the number 1 guy to drop trophies because he is going on vacation or whatever the reason may be for them not being there for war

I just think it makes more sense than having to drop trophies or kicking members temporarily..

I run a well organized war clan so I am in the contingent that wants an opt in/out featuer to use as a tool to better organize. (I don't consider kicking a good tool) My clan rules would not change if they added it, I will just be equipped with a smoother way of implementing them.

How it should work...

There should be a button (it can be a new one or the war shield can be modified) that toggles a player as in or out.

Access to hit the button to toggle should go to the leader and the player in question.
---- individual players cannot opt each other in or out
---- its an argument either way to give it to co as well - Good for clans where co is a management job, bad for clans that give it out like candy. (I consider the latter to be a sign of a bad leader)
---- A leader who abuses authority to opt guys in against their wishes are really just hurting their own selves for how they are adding a risk to their war participation. (the guy might then just not attack anyhow, if not seeing eye to eye with leader he wont care)
---- A leader opting a guy out against his wishes has that prerogative to decide who he wants in his war. And its still nicer than just kicking the guy like happens now.

The status of a player is only a factor right at the time a war starts. Instead of just selecting all eligible players from the total population it will just be all eligible players from the opted in group.
---- Can even implement by leveraging the existing eligibility functionality that currently is only driven by a timer.

After that everything works the same. The list of warriors from the clan is rounded to an even 5 via the existing logic and then the matchmaking calculation takes place also using the existing logic.

A player joins a clan with his eligibility set the same way it is today. (He is in unless there is a timer)


Things that would not happen -
...A player cannot add themselves to a war after the fact. If they change their status during a war it makes no difference until the next war when that status is read at startup.
...This would not serve as a way to replace members that take off during war. if they do that then there is the same affect on the war as there is today. Unused attacks stay unused. (it will never change that this just stinks when guys pull that stunt)
