TH9+ PLAYERS PREY ON TH8. [Petition]

[OscarTheMonster]

what league are you at?

I'm just at Gold 1 as a maxed TH8 before the update it was just fine now....I'm getting killed I tried dropping but of course no loot and there was still Th9+ farmers there...just waiting.

I remember being a Town Hall 8... Oh the hate I had of the game while at Eight...

Was bad enough with the giants over powering practically any base design I put up, but what really ticked me off was the Archer Queen. More often than not, she would walk in, safely behind her giant army, shooting over their heads and sniping loot as she went. Even IF her escort was killed half way in, often times she would still, seemingly without effort, get the Dark Elixir I worked hard at collecting.

Then I got her myself as a TH9 and tortured her into doing Super Queen attacks. Keeping her healed constantly while under fire by the brunt of the base defenses. ... Though... I likely ticked off many a TH8 in the process, and TH9s, and some lame TH10, but hey, I had fun for once in a long time and got some much needed WB practice and experience with troop aiming and funneling. (that is thankfully gone, in terms of overall gameplay, due to the multi healer nerf)
...
Still doesn't mean the system is fine. If I were a game designer, I'd look for a way to fix the hate at Town Hall 8. You are supposed to have fun playing the game, not come close to breaking your expensive smartphone over being robbed of some digital game currency from some over powered chick with a gun.

Thank you for understanding we can only wish that Supercell was this supportive. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only here that's experiencedefinitely this problem.

I agree he was always defenceless, that's why he placed his TH outside so that it could be sniped. Now everyone's bases look the same more or less and frankly when I see a TH 8 I crush them just to get some loot. The thinking behind the update has changed the games dynamics to such an extent that it doesn't even feel like Clash of Clans anymore. I don't need to go on because I have not had a shield since the upgrade started. I fear with the sheer amount of hard core clanners like me being so disappointed that we might see the end of this once great game.

Anyone in my clan would crush a mega-rich th8 too, even the th6/7 would give it a crack and snipe the th too. That's exactly my point.

If you are worried about future playability....
No defenses, no PBT reset, no play. So encourage attackers, re-design your base to forces the attacker to commit, protect the things you want to protect and don't try to defend everything.

I understand that there is a food chain but I would like it to be discouraged that this is happening...too many cowards out there...who rather beat on a newer player than to face a challenge. It used to balance out before the Th11 update with free shields and all...you got sniper and hoped to god it wasn't a powerhouse attacking you... sometimes it happened but no every time.

TH sniping wasn't a design decision by Supercell. In fact they consider it hurtful to the overall players because less loot was available for attack. I think the current system is better on that part. You basically can attack multiple times before you have to defend. It ensures you can get profit if you do it right and more loot is available on the table in general. No more you steal gold with strong troops only to be stolen right back by someone else while you wait for your next troops to train, repeat.

I don't think food chain is for cowards. It's the way of nature. It takes courage to take a beating from stronger foes and not complain but realize if you don't want to take such beating, you need to get stronger, and you need to work it up. And it's general strategic knowledge, Sun Zu stuff, it's not smart to fight a war with a foe of equal strength, unless you don't want a victory and simply want both of you to die. For sports it's fine, like in clan wars, cost 400k elixir or 2K DE per attack? no prob if just twice a day. For everything else, everyday everytime farming, I'd prefer to enjoy strategic strength advantage. Sun Zu approves.

Supercell needs to find a way to help the th8 and under players stay alive. After this update I have been 3 starred around 15 consecutive times by a TH9 or higher. All using the same basic Army. GIANT BARCHER. And we can't do anything to stop it. I am a maxed th8 who is desperately trying everything I can to stop this slaughter fest. BUT I CAN'T DO NOTHING. I MYSELF HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW TO STOP IT. Maybe more spring traps or a new defense to help bust down on Giant BARCHER users or just severely cutting the amount of loot that they gain from us lower players. I've lost Millions of resources in a matter of days. And I'm am sure I'm not the only one. WE ARE DEFENSELESS. I MYSELF WILL START THE SIGNING.PLEASE PROMOTE THIS THREAD AND HELP US GET SUPERCELLS ATTENTION!! /SIGNED Oscar

You will regret this once you upgrade your THs & progress further in the game... I have access to TH8/9/10/11 accounts & As of this min I am enjoying looting & getting superloot only in TH8 accounts... it takes just one darn session to start an upgrade of any kind besides DE & still my friends TH8 has already got golem 2 BK 10 Hogs 4...

All THs get thrashed by the higher one... only difference is lower you are you get fully thrashed but can loot much more, Higher you go in TH levels, you get thrashed less but can loot lesser... I am talking about looting in context to what is needed for upgrading...
