Say Good-Bye To Free Shields

[JohnSnow83]

Scenario: I'm a TH10 in Crystal 1. I farm faster than my builders can work, so storages often fill up between builders finishing. I get free shields 9 times out of 10 because some TH7 or 8 is trying to push up to Masters.

With the new matchmaking system, these low level players will be less likely to find me and my free town hall. With this, there will be a higher chance of a TH10 coming along and stomping me (I just got TH10 and haven't built infernos yet).

Perhaps this is a way for Supercell to make free shields more difficult. As it stands, everyone who cares about loot has their town hall on the outside. Opinion aside, town halls on the outside is probably not how Supercell intended the game to be played.

True, players at a simliar TH level might want the free league bonus and still give you a free shield. However, I think instead of getting free shields 9 out of 10 times it might now only be 6 or 7 times out of 10.

Yep. And since th7 won't be taking all of the snipeable the in master league, I can get more free bonuses

I was TH sniped by a TH8.

The exact mechanism is unknown, perhaps 3 town hall levels below you is when it becomes rare? I still get a lot of free shields from 7's I will be sad to lose.

The change wasn't that drastic. They said 1 lower 1 higher than your town hall level. So TH8 Will find more TH7-9, they just won't find as many TH6- And 10

SC only said we are more LIKELY to search +1 or -1 town hall level you have. It doesn't rule out that 2 or more TH lower levels than you won't find you.

Of course. I'm only saying we might get storage raided a little more often.

Good point but I think I get sniped by more TH8 then anyone else, so my TH9 may be safe. TH10 may be another story thoug...

Game of Thrones reference? lol

I'm not too changed by this, can start honing my DE - free DraPe attacks.
(Totally off topic but)

• High in Vitamin Z
• Takes up 500K elixir
• Only costs 500K elixir

Note: If you do not know what Vitamin Z is Z gives you lots and lots of DE.
Also you don't need free shields when you have free attacks.
