Clash of Clans War Matchmaking: How It Works
Clash of Clans is all about building your village, upgrading your defenses, and battling other players. But one of the most exciting and competitive aspects of the game is Clan Wars. In Clan Wars, your clan goes head-to-head with another clan to see who can destroy the most enemy bases.
But how does the game decide who your clan will fight? How does the matchmaking system work?
The War Matchmaking System
The matchmaking system in Clash of Clans uses a complex algorithm to try and find clans that are as evenly matched as possible. There are a few key factors that the system takes into account:
- Clan Level: The higher the clan level, the more likely it is to be matched against another high-level clan.
- Player Trophies: Each player has trophies, which are earned by winning attacks and defending against attacks. The average trophies of all players in a clan are taken into account during matchmaking.
- Clan War Wins: Clans with a higher win rate are more likely to be matched against other strong clans.
- War League: War Leagues are a more competitive mode of Clan Wars where clans fight for a chance to climb the ranks and earn special rewards. The matchmaking system within the War League further factors in the previous league's performance, specifically the previous War League season's results.
Here is an example of how the system works:
Let's say you have a clan called "The Vikings" with an average player trophy count of 3000. The matchmaking system would look for other clans with a similar average trophy count. It might also consider the number of recent clan war wins and losses to ensure a balanced match. If a clan has been consistently winning, it might be matched against another winning clan.
However, the system is not perfect. Here are some reasons why:
- Unexpected players: A clan could have some extremely high-level players, which could skew the average trophies and lead to a mismatch.
- Inactive players: A clan could have inactive players who don't participate in war, which could lower the average trophies and cause an imbalance.
- Clan hopping: Players might switch clans to gain an unfair advantage in matchmaking.
Tips for Finding a Good Match:
- Choose a clan with active players: This will help ensure a consistent war performance.
- Check the clan's average trophies and war win rate: This can give you an idea of how strong the clan is.
- Look for a clan that participates in War Leagues: This will help ensure a higher level of competition.
