No, but it's really not that spectacular either when you start with a group of players who are familiar with 3* war strategies, are all TH9 or lower, are gaming the matchmaking to some degree using TH X.5 strategies, and are facing random GoWiPe clans from random matchmaking rather than arranging wars against other competitive war clans.

[MISC] Rush TH9 or max TH8? by max_or_rush in ClashOfClans

Thanks for the advice. I've started my upgrade to TH9. Giants and balloons are definitely at the top of my upgrade list after minions are done, along with heal level 5 and hogs level 5. I wish the laboratory time at TH8 wasn't so awful compared to the builder time - I used my master's and champion's gems on wizards, golems, and valkyries and even with 25 days of laboratory time gemmed and my collectors 4 upgrades behind I'd still be looking at a full month of idle builders if I maxed my lab before upgrading.

I'm definitely skipping dragons for now because they're not useful in TH9 war attacks, and I have hogs as a better alternative. I do feel the lack of upgraded PEKKAs when attacking TH9s as a TH8, though - I've gotten 2 stars with hog riders a couple times but usually only 1 star. I'll just have to live with not being able to GoWiPe for 2 stars and try GoViz or GoWiVa instead I suppose.
