And i see that you dodge that question and do not answer. You are maybe afraid that announcing this with a news article on your homepage would cause another crapstorm like the Valentine event?

More people play but I feel like you are helping the less experienced and less active clans more here and letting the more active clans die. For me personally I don't enjoy SH at T8 because its just full prem spam and tryhard - I don't touch T6 usually because we have 10 players or more and we don't want people to be left sitting out. In my honest opinion where you are heading is to completely kill off CW for good. SH is one of two ways currently where you can practice tactics. (Advances being the other but thats tryhard for boxes) By making it 10v10 you removed another block from the lower clans which you are trying to help because if they don't learn 15v15 then why would they EVER play CW. If you want a 10v10 gamemode or something similar bring bank the old ranked battles as the old WGL 7/68 or 7/70 gamemode for that but have boxes as a reward as well.

Yes, t10 with 10v10 made more battles.. then what if you change the t8 to 7v7? many more battles wow so lets do this.. and please dream about 1v1 in t10 sh, sooo many battles Btw, this is another based only on the numbers decision, and the WG think that that is good.. Just, till you get the chance to try some tactic for the cw on skirmish, now.. not. Till this time, the tactic had the chance to win battles against better clans.. now only have to play lemmings train with 10 tanks and win everything, but at least the numbers are fine   +1 thing: at least bring back the -1 tier to the SH, (it let more players to play ), because your random battles are.. hm.. just play it and you'll know, what about i talk.
