Why TH sniping rocked!

[Yharo]

Those people who sniped a gazillion th's didn't always hide. To find and take a snipe, you need to raid. In order to raid, you need to break shield.

You can say all you like about hiding behind shields, but to get those snipes, you had to break it.

as a sniper who raided loot bonuses the only memorable times i ever got raided for all my loot was when i was pushing and i left it outside.

Yeah there was that 1/20 times i did get 3 starred, but yeah that was pretty rare.

I, as a sniper, barely gave any back to people. It either went into upgrades and walls, or I'd hid it in barracks or give donations to all my clan members.

I'm with you op

I still don't see who it was hurting and why?...if you didn't want to be sniped move your town hall inside....if you wanted a shield you put it outside.....I never had a problem pushing trophys....or farming for loot...so who was being hurt? Certainly not the gemmers....How was this affecting me and why should I care?
And how is getting a 12 hour shield every single time someone gets 30 percent on a base....even if they don't WIN THE ATTACK....any better?
Apparently 80% of clash of clans customers were not playing the game "the way it was intended to be played" isn't the problem that supercell decided to ♥♥♥♥ off 80 percent of there customers?

because 80% was basically removed from raid pool, we got stuck with leftovers, I once spent an hour searching before update les s than 5 after it. Not everyone who plays is a gemmer, its just a way for you to lash out : P 30% for a shields fair, they just don't want players hiding their bases with constant shields, raiding others but not getting hit themselves. We all give a little to get a lot! If your getting hit hard, move to a lower league! It isn't like before. You just need to adjust your play to new battlefield conditions. There are many who don't depend on snipes who play. Now you'll have to, its easy! Try silver!

Not hating on sniping, voice, just stating that sniping generally didn't pump loot in the economy and rather into one persons storages and for the most part was never dispersed to the economy.

I've heard this argument before and it's complete rubbish. The loot they generated for themselves by sniping, wether it got dumped into walls straight away or not don't matter....what matters is...that loot wasn't stolen from another player ! Thus it already is part of the clash economy.

How can ppl not understand this??

Taking away TH sniping has had zero benefit on the game. You can argue it was good,bad,tacky whataver you like, but the game has not been improved in any way whatsoever. Yes I have to defend more, but anyone of you were welcome to take out my base and get my TH at the same time but you didn't.

I've got to disagree with that point. Removal of sniping has had a huge impact on the clouds and trophy offers in Titan and above.

honestly i used to laugh at snipers and mock them. Everytime we went to war and saw 220 archers in the enemy camp i chuckled a little.

Until i hit th10, when i became a part time sniper. But even still, it felt a little dirty and boring inside. As the op mentions, i never realized how sniping shaped Clash's economy so much. Reminds of that video about wolves and yellowstone park.

I'm not looking for an easy shield...and people don't come barching in anymore...they come ready for war unless they are dropping trophy's...they created a tremendous imbalance in the game to ward off a few botters
