Why do people put off heroes? ( TH9 )

[nubulator]

Clan Wars: Just opt out of them until complete.
DE Shortage: You can easily get tons with GiBArch

Problem Solved!

That does not solve the problem, the problem was that the people want to be in clan wars... If you opt out, you are not in clan wars.

the DE shortage would be due to not playing as much....

Simple answer it is easier to do the walls than heroes. I farm all the time and I just dumb the gold and elixer in the walls instead of having full storages for people to get. I am also like most and our clan wars back to back. I am a new TH9. I don't have any TH9 defense. I have been focusing on offense first. My golems are lvl3 and witches maxed. I am about to work on my AQ and get her to lvl15 asap.

Most in my clan just deal with only having one hero in war a lot of the time.

I for one barch for my resources, so it's easy to pick up gold and elixir, so I can plop down a few legos per day. I also use my heroes in war, which is the most fun part of the game, so I can't have my archer queen down a week to get 4 more dps and 15 more health. I'm also not made of money so I can't gem my heroes finished, and I can't use my heroes in raids while they're upgrading. Upgrading a hero to a level not divisible by 5 is such an abysmal ROI and they are unusable for raids or war attacks while upgrading.

Maybe if there was a tangible difference between a level 16 barbarian king and a level 17 barbarian king, or they could be used while upgrading, or if it at least didn't take a full week to upgrade more people would have higher level heroes. Hell, even if it were just 6 1/2 days, I could attack early, upgrade my hero, and it'll be the next level by the next clan war.

...what?

I've just been in Silver league so not a lot of DE. Now I'm going up to C1 and going to focus on my heroes.

Grinding out heros takes a really long time, some people enjoy the game as is and would prefer not to invest all that time into it, eventually the game will die and we will move on to another just like we've done before.

I've seen many people on the forums and clash have full Legos or Lavas and only 15/15 heroes or slightly higher it takes way longer to farm heroes then to farm walls so people really should be upgrading them every chance they get.
As for myself I have 15/15 heroes and only have 60 Legos, 155 skulls and 35 purple and almost max th9 defenses

I see it as the opposite tbh. My heroes are constantly asleep, and I'm flying with my lavas. Once my walls are complete I'll be off to TH10 where DE is more abundant.

I'd question why are your walls so low compared to your hero level?

Because I rushed to th9 with max defences but with only 80 skull walls so I have been constantly upgrading defences and heroes along the way.
