I’ve been stuck in Silver 2 league in my mini account which is at early Town Hall 6. I thought the game had a feature to provide copy bases for attacks, but I can’t find it anywhere. Lately, I keep encountering unranked players and only get +1 trophy after each base I win against, even though the loot is okay. This is frustrating because I want to reach 1250 trophies to unlock my 4th builder. I’m not trophy pushing hard; it just feels like there aren’t enough bases to fight in my league. Sometimes I get +10 or +15 trophies, but that’s very rare, maybe once every 20 bases. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a bug or just how the matchmaking works?

It sounds like you’ve hit a bit of a matchmaking bottleneck. Silver 2 at early TH6 can sometimes have fewer active players, so finding good bases is tricky. The game tends to fallback to snapshot bases that give minimal trophy rewards to keep the matches going. One suggestion is to try pushing your trophy count slowly whenever you get a decent match, or maybe upgrading your troops and defenses to improve your attack success rate. That might help you climb out of silver into bronze for better matchmaking.
From what I understand, the game tries to give you real bases to fight matching your league and trophy count. The copy base or snapshot system is only used as a last resort when there aren’t enough real bases available or if you’ve been searching in clouds for too long. So if you’re constantly getting +1 trophies, it might be because the game is forcing these snapshot bases since it can’t find proper opponents in your range.
Are you managing to 3-star those bases you attack? The trophy gain depends a lot on how well you perform. If you’re only partially winning or dropping stars, the trophy gain can be really low. Sometimes, at lower leagues, if your town hall level is a little high, it can make matchmaking weird and cause you to face players that don’t quite match your level, thus affecting trophies gained.
That makes sense but it still feels like a bug because I’m not pushing trophies aggressively and Silver 2 should have enough bases for a Town Hall 6. Also, shouldn’t I be getting matched with Bronze league players instead of unranked ones if the league is empty?
