As you know supercell made farming harder with the new system aswell as killing th snipes.
But recently i got from silver one to gold 3 as a th6 in just 2 hrs and i think that supercell has made Pushing a slight bit easy for lower ths.
I think that supercell is trying to make us push because pushing sometimes requires barrack boosts and as you know they cost gems and gems cost $$$$. Hopefully you agree with me!👍😀
