just a few minutes ago I saw 4 bases with trapped Townhalls lost more then 100 trophies :S its ridiculous of how fast they are growing, someone kill it with fire.

Meh bring a full camp if you want to snipe
The purpose of this is to let your opponent waste his troops so he won't have enough troops to take your resources.
I did one of those just earlier today. Saw reasonable loot 150/150 and a semi exposed hall.
One of those raids as a TH10 where you consider an easy win for league bonus, or ripping into those storages.
The defender made me decision easy when 3 Teslas & a giant bomb popped up to greet my 1 archer.
Do they not realise how weak it leaves the rest of their base? Easily took the 150/150 each with no spells and my Queen at about 90% health so she is sweet for the next raid.
They may be reconsidering the idea now. Could have had an easy shield…ended up with one the hard way.
You are still a TH8, continue to believe that if you wish.
But I find the only players that 'waste troops so they don't have enough to take your resources' typically either a) don't have enough troops to take your storage anyway or b) aren't very good at attacking so don't have much to worry about.
The ones that ARE good at attacking will flip the tables on the exposed halls every damn time. Where you could have got a cheap shield instead leaving you with no loss and 12 hr protection.
I have hated trappers for a year solid now. But as i have progresses, i see a need for them.
They help stop u from being in a leauge that you dont belong.
There would be 10% more th7 and 8 in champs. 30% more in masters and 50% more in crystal. This is not an issue unless you are trying to farm those areas and you are th9 and 10. Those are extra 750 and 1000 gold next that you never get back because the lower th never offer anything but a few cups.
So trap on trappers
agreed.
I volunteered to join a clan member on his trophy push so went through my revenge list to do a bit of sniping.
One decided to trap their TH. Lets just say that there was only one tesla left at the end of the war. The rest of his base was turned to ashes lol. I couldnt be bothered to send in a few more troops. Pity the TH wasn't left standing......ultimate sanction

Personally if I was farming and I saw a base with decent resources and an exposed TH i drop 1 barb or archer to check for traps. You do kind of get a sixth sense for traps so 99% of the time teslas pop up big bombs explode etc.
Instead of going for the win I now use this base to let me drop trophies to stay in a good farming range. I kind of figure I want resources and he wants trophies so it's win win for both of us I send my army opposite side to townhall and try to pick off as many storages as I can as well as killing heroes an cc troops i then quit my attack at 39% hopefully having picked up 200-300k of each. This stops the defender picking up a shield and so he will be able to pick up even more trophies with his trapped townhall.
Must admit I learned this approach from the 1 time I was idiotic enough to trap my townhall 8 hours later when I logged back in I was happy to see I had picked up 200 cups and the seriously ♥♥♥♥♥♥ off when I realised it had cost me over 3 million in total resources lost! Needless to say I have never ever trapped my townhall again
