It is highly disliked!
It's not an unspoken rule. People talk about it here non stop![]()
No such thing as unspoken rules in clash of clans. Play the way you want to.
I wasn't pushing the last time I did this, just snipe THs when I saw them while raiding, to help keep me in the trophy range I wanted. It didn't matter to me to lose a bunch if necessary, so when the teslas popped up, I took 200-250k of their resources and left them at 39% because they didn't deserve a shield.
After reading a number of posts on here about how people destroy THs that are trapped, and/or kill CC troops and heroes, I wanted try out a trapped TH to see if that was generally the case.
I trapped my TH (with only Teslas) for a day to see if the general clasher would do what all the forumers would do. I found that (I posted on this before) this forum has the most aggressive and skilled clashers anywhere, because from my little test case, I managed to pick up 200+ trophies driving me all the way into CI at the time.
At that point someone pointed out to me that if I were to do this in MI, that I would get destroyed every time. So...I made it to MI sitting at 3031 trophies right now, but I will first climb to Champion since I've never been there and give it a shot in the higher leagues.
The point is, a trapped TH is effective if you have a well developed TH9 and no one managed to wreck my base after they realized that my TH was trapped. A lot of them still got the TH, but expended more troops than they originally planned.
I get a trapped th I usually kill their hero's and take more trophy with the 50%
Just a bunch of kiddies that are angry that you send them back to the league where they belong. Any reasonable attacker will just drop 2 giants and his heroes or drop a barb for testing first and simply quit if it is not worth the effort. If you are high enough that trophies matter (master+) you already get more than enough league bonus that it is still worth it.
Haha- thanks for all the responses. Apparently I am not on here enough to know that this practice is quite common!
