Clans are gaming the system by surrendering before game even starts. Seems like this could easily be disallowed

it's not a bug, it's a feature

you can do the same

lol. it is likely not. Doubt Fizzer intended. If it is a "feature," it is a bad one and should be changed

This has the same problem as https://war.app/Forum/888392-turn-0-wins-impact-cw-ranking

Doesn’t solve the problem, just delays it

We had already beaten up that dead horse..

last time I actually personally spoke to Fizzer about this..

we all have 25 games per day, if you are done with your points for the season and you want to work on cwr, you are not violating any rules.. it's CW

Wow, yet another Forum request to stop CWR Manipulation. But it's real hard to stop CWR manipulation.

Some clans do make a living at this. And hats off to the clan coming together for a purpose.

There is a Feature Request that will make CWR manipulation less of an issue. That is to add in RANK BASED MATCHING half the time.

Please vote for the feature linked here -- it will help: See here: https://war.app/Forum/886874-add-randomness-matching-algorithm

I think this is the wrong approach.

Players should be able to surrender whenever they like, regardless of being in a CW.

Might be better to have a "rating manipulation" rules in competitive events like CW and ladders. Would be similar to "sandbagging"/"boosting" rules in chess.

is essentially same as "tanking" in some pro sports to get a better draft pick... there has to be a better system

Surrender before the start or after. Same difference.

I'd rather get my free win before the start, less time.

How do you surrender before a game starts wtf

For as long as Clan War results are determined mainly by activity, we will not be able to solve this problem. If CWR was instrumental to final placements or determined them directly (skill competition), no one would have an incentive to do this.

I really feel that CW is overcomplicated in all the wrong places.
Just make all matchups random.
If there's an odd number of players, a totally random guy gets the free win.
If two players from the same clan get matched against each other... just leave it be. A guaranteed 1 win isn't better nor worse than something between 0-2 wins.

And then we could focus our efforts on coming up with ideas to actually make this event more interesting instead of trying to fix matchups manipulation for 5 years.

I think Fizzer should give a small coin bonuses to all clans according to their CWR and the amount of wins after each season.

The formula should be = number of wins x CWR/20

For example, if a clan with CWR = 800, but only 10 wins after a season, this clan can get a reward of 40 coins.

with this reward system, I believe more people from small clans will want to play CW and everybody would want to win to make more coins.
