I personally am outraged by the Change to shield requirements. The personal break feels like a penalty for someone who has done nothing wrong, not being allowed to get on and attack just because someone didn’t try to smash your base is unfair. AND not being awarded a shield when someone does attack you just because they didn’t use 50% of their troops really penalizes the low lvl players and anyone new to the game. As a TH 9 or 10 you still see lower lvl town halls when searching and can definitely 3 star these bases with less than half your troops.
In protest I will be trying my best to give no one a shield and I am calling on all of you in the clash community who feel the same to do this as well. Let us rise up and prove to supercell that they have made a big mistake. And if you are getting attacked repeatedly without getting a shield or are being penalized with forced personal breaks often I urge you to send complaints to supercell through their forums or in game under help and support in settings.
