That makes the combined total upgrade time taking over a year. That means that for a total time period of one year one of your strongest troops can't be used for the exact reason why you are upgrading it... to have fun with it as it gets stronger in wars. It is a catch 22.
The heroes are available for defensive purposes during wars, so I see no point in not having them unavailable for attacks. This will accomplish the opposite effect desired for Supercell as a whole for me personally. Even though I want to upgrade my heroes past level 10, I don't want to put my war clan at a disadvantage for an entire weeks worth of wars for such an extended period of time. For our clan that is two wars per week.
This does not only reduce the amount of enjoyment I get out of the game, but it dissuades me from upgrading heroes. This in turn could reduce the profits of Supercell if I am any indicator as I refuse to spend money on any hero upgrading if I can't use them in wars for a week. It is also too expensive for gemming the week's worth of of time for such a small increase in benefit for me personally.
