War is unplayable with a hero down

[JamsOnly]

Keep it simple, if the hero's down and your not willing or able to gem it, your not in the war.

It's never going to change. That's like McDonalds giving away free hamburgers. Never going to happen.

This game is pretty dang cheap to play, that's the one area that they got us by the nards. You don't need to gem hero time, but it kinda sucks not doing it if you war.

War is still playable, it just sucks.

I wonder how many times this has been brought up. Thousands?

I don't see why countless people think this way. I'm the number 1 in the clan I'm in and I have no problem 2 starring my opponent without my queen when she is upgrading. Only thing I can't do is 3 star fellow th9s without her. If you are that big of a hindrance to your team just sit out.

If you insist not to use any gem than opt out, that's it. Unless supercell make a change, then there is no other way.

Why stop there? It's not fair that some players have max heroes and I don't. Give me level 40 heroes for free instantly.

It's a freemium game. Free to play if you're happy to wait for upgrades, etc.
It's a pretty good one actually because you can get premium currency for free by removing obstacles and achievements.

People who really can't wait buy the gems which pays for the game you are playing. The game would not be as good if SC didn't make as money as they do to keep adding new features..

Bingo, this is the perfect explanation, give this man a raise!

Almost never have both heroes for war. 748 war star. War is not impossible with only 1 hero. You just have to have a strategy and plan your attack right.
