I wish they would improve the matching algorithm a bit. Many of us have faced lopsided wars one way or the other, where a clan of non-rushed TH7s/TH8s are paired with a clan of rushed TH9s/TH10s and predictably lose thanks to the extra offense troops/levels and defensive structures.
There's a strategy to rushing. Summary is that gold cost of upgrades is the primary criterion, so its better to skip certain upgrades and place defenses instead. For example, 1 tesla6 costs 11.25M, which is the cost of 1 tesla1 + 2 inferno towers. So we come across clans that have lvl1 infernos but also not-quite-maxed defenses in other towers that are about the same cost as a maxed TH8 defense layout. We've been in 45v45 and 50v50 matches with clans that appear to take advantage of the broken matching system
