We do use some low bases to lower our war weight, but with good reason. We are primarily a teaching clan, designed to help new players and those who just discovered that there are attack strategies other than GoWiPe learn hybrid attacks for 3-starring bases.
As you know, we have a lot of players who are working on maxing their heroes at TH9 before going to Th10. (What's with your top base by the way... max defense TH10 with 20/20 heroes? Bad move.) Before we added the low war weight bases, we were constantly matched with clans with 7 and 8 TH10s with infernos. Which is fine - we won nearly all of those matches. However, it doesn't really provide our players with the practice they need on Th9s and strong 8s. So adding sheldon and priapism helped us lower our war weight, and additionally provides those players with additional opportunities to practice higher-level attacks. As you know, if you are a fairplay clan, the only real practice you get is during real wars.
Typically, those baby accounts use their first attacks for a base in their range, and their second attack for practice on a base that has already been three starred. In essence, we don't gain any advantage from them that we wouldn't have from any other low-level base, other than extra practice for the players who have those accounts as minis.
In our war with you, since you guys decided to give us a hard time about it, we did use them for higher attacks. It didn't matter in the end with the weekend busyness of a few of our top players, but if you guys are ever up for an arranged match in the future, we'd love to schedule a war when we can give it our best, and I have no doubt we can match you star for star. We'll even drop the baby bases and bring in a max defense TH10 so that your top player has some actual competition.
Thanks for taking such an interest in our clan. If any of you are looking to serve as mentors in our educational clan, feel free to stop by.
