TH 8.5/9.5 after update

[socc3rplay3r101]

Just wondering what your thoughts on this would be. Still upgrade walls and Heroes? Just Heroes?

Everything is the same, why u complicate things.

I don't understand. The update notes(or was it sneak peek) clearly stated that walls and heroes now have more impact
on the war match making system. The purpose of a th.5 is to be able to attack players that are much stronger than you.

We have no idea as yet how significant the wall weighting change is. I suspect its small, and th.5 is alive and well.

If I'm wrong, new engineered bases will have ♥♥♥♥ walls & heroes but still maxxed war army, and air/hogs have been buffed in a roundabout way for war (walls that don't matter much for defense now count against you more for matchmaking). And I'll need to find something new to do with my time, grinding walls and heroes will have become a waste.

For me I'm just freezing walls and keeping heroes at 10-10 and no air sweeper yet.

I have Th8 max defences except 3 point defences one level below and was always ranked below the one who have maxed defences. Now I am above him with 40 more skull walls.

pre-update a TH9 with purple walls was our number three in wars and another TH9 with 100% skulls was our five. Now post-update they have flipped (the four stayed the same). Roughly speaking their defenses and heroes are the same and neither had any major upgrades in between the last war. I can picture document if you want but those skull walls are what made the difference.

The thing that makes 9.5 strong is how offence is weighed less than defence. (I don't have proof that it is, just a common assumption, maybe others have evidence). So you get the extra spell, camp space, cc space, troop levels for relatively low weight.

It isn't really anything to do with walls/heroes unless you are talking about truly hardcore TH9s that went TH9.5 to be able to do walls beyond lvl 10 and heroes beyond 30. This isn't the primary reason for 9.5, just a factor that made extreme 9.5s even better.

A TH8.5 or TH9.5 will upgrade attacking capabilities to the max. But after that, what is he gonna do with the extra gold/elix/DE?
Of course he will dump into walls and heroes upgrade. Yes, such hardcore players usually with super high walls and heroes as well.

Now needing proof to see whether those players still stay as the lowest TH10 or TH9 in their clan.
