Proposed change to clan pairings and rankings

[MadKatt]

Hey all,

I propose that the clash of clan people change how clans are ranked and paired. The current way is based on trophies, where clans can be top clans even if they haven't gone to war. This defeats the purpose of having a clan in large part because it takes away the competitiveness of clan wars. In the long run, you can get loot from raiding. However, it is a whole different thing to say that you are part of a clan that knows how to strategize and win wars. Getting trophies requires a lot less strategy and is an individual effort largely. Therefore, clans should have brackets just the way organized teams have brackets.

I think this is what will keep the game going for years. I hope everyone else can see where I am coming from on this.

Clans are not paired by trophies.
Clan ranking existed for a very long time and isn't broken in any way.
Development of clan wars is inevitable, including may be clan war leagues and clan war rankings. But there is just no way SC will brake down existing and working system of ranking in favor of new untested system. :-) Someday they will co-exist probably. Or may be not. There is just nothing wrong with ranking by cups. :-)

Also, there is just no way to decide if a clan of 10 th5 is better or worse if it has 40 wins and zero losses vs a clan of 40 th10, which has 90 wins and 80 losses. They are just so different, that they cannot be considered competitors in any way. Good thing about present system is that a devoted hard-gaming lower th may grow higher than a well-developed higher th. Clan wars ranking will be pretty much the ranking for top th10 clans. They probably will sooner or later get a special tournament, why not... But it is in no way a viable substitution for simple traditional cups-based ranking. :-)

If a clan is ranked by cups only, then what is the purpose of competing for a war win?

I see where your coming from in that there are no obvious ways of ranking the clans but that doesn't mean that a good way cannot be found. I was thinking that there could be leagues based on the composition of town houses within the clan. That may or may not work but my point is that it isn't hard to put together a working idea to better rank clans and reward them for good records.

I think a lot of the responders to my post are the type of gamer who focuses more on grinding than war wins, or at least has that in mind. There seem to be a different type of clash of clans gamer who enjoys the team work oriented play; right now that gamer isn't being rewarded in the current system.

The best way to rank clans is trophies for now my friend
and wars are so easy to th4 clans and so hard for th10 clans so it will be unfair
