PROOF: That league shields can tell you how good somebody is

[TheLastClan]

I just wish to say one thing.

What did Jorge Yao taught us in his interview conducted by Flammy ?

The strategy to getting high trophy count is basically
1) Be very active and online as long as possible
2) Raid win more than loss in defense
3) Stay on shield as long as possible

Another point I like to add to the list for "semi high trophy range"
4) Do not pick targets that you think can revenge win you

Tell me.
How are those factors a good guage of good a player is ?


Anyway to supercell.
If you guys wish to kill farming, step out and say it to our face.
Be more transparent in your motive.
Slowly slowly slowly killing of farming..god, just announce it.
Those who intend to quit will quit.
Else, don't be surprise at the uproar and unhappiness lurking in the forum.
Because majority of the forumites are actually the farmers you are trying to kill.

Loot penalty.. storage loot decrease..

And to the TH9 farmers out there that are close to maxing out, good for you for starting clash of clan much earlier than the rest of us.
Since you guys are not as affected by this "Transformation" as hard as the TH7/8 farmers.

if you pass 2000 trophies then good luck finding someone who can't revenge you lol

Thankyou for saying it.

Right now I have less than $100k gold but over $1million elix. My wizard towers are upgrading to level 6. I literally have nothing to do as these upgrades take so long Ive spent the past week working on my mini. Boredom in game is high, hence the reason why I have time to be on this forum more often than I would normally, farming has become a grind to grab the 500k gold for walls now - meh!

Eventually the cost and time to upgrade buildings and troops will be so high that even the farmers will shake their heads and walk away.

They jumped the gun. They are trying to force us into a system that they haven't made relevant yet. In time, sure, league badges could be a very important/quick way to gauge a player's strength. Until they make it so that players actually want to move up in the leagues, though, that badge is less useful than the player's level.

I agree, there are probably tens of thousands of farmers who are great players. To discern how worthy they are of a player the recruiter will need to do much more than see what level they are in global (which is the only place that you can't see level) and make their recruitment process more personal instead of "okay you are a lvl 70, you're hired".

I agree that the level of the player is certainly not an indication of how good the player is. And you are certainly correct that the league badge is a much better indicator for the clans that go for trophies, or at least it makes slightly easier to recruit cuz now they don't have to click a button to look at their base and see the trophy count. But for the farming clans the badge does nothing.

Agree - the simple solution would be to have both. There's no need for a one or the other - lets have our cake lol

I'm stepping away to take a nap before I have to go to my morning workout. Then it is off to take the family shopping.

Before I leave I want to type these thoughts:

1) It is clear that many of you feel slighted enough to post uncool things towards me here. I don't take it personally because your perception is yours and I won't argue against it. I just ask that you think for a moment how it makes you look to others. If a video gaming forum is causing you this much personal grief, perhaps you should just take a moment and see what is going on in RL?

2) I think having a level ON a league shield is the best compromise. I truly hope that SC is considering this as an option as it is clearly the most popular option that will retain the most users.

and finally 3) Nobody likes change. But, sometimes change is necessary. For whatever reason, SC thought that this change was necessary for them. You, as the gamer, have the option to either give them time to address your concerns or adapt and move through the objective. It really is up to you. No one controls your emotions but you.

Love you, hate you, but you are never boring! ( thx for the chuckle and keeping it interesting )

Echoing Tiny, this has been one of the more interesting threads (minus the troll replies) for a while.

slightly off topic, i truly believe that supercell have played this update nigh on perfect. They have implemented the leagues without affecting the game play.. Now on to step two... Increase the bonuses!

i dont think it will kill farming, as farming is a necessity for supercell (mass player base), and i truly believe that most farmers would "up" their trophies if it was possible to still progress within the game... However introducing high bonuses would have impacted the game play at the point they were introducing such a drastic change to the overall game. If they had got it wrong it would have been horrific for them

Once again i say well played SC... The bear hat is tilted with respect in your direction... Now up them bonuses

I was in silver 1, I was checking out defenses and 1 stood out, to my surprise a lvl 9 TH, ALL upgrades, black walls, everything, BUT only 1250 trophies. Shields don't matter if you buy gems. Visit that player and that should tell you. I mean seriously TH 9 gold walls? What's that tell you?
