Well, it's been said (many times) before, the solution to this is:

Don't let it happen.

Don't let your team fall behind such that the enemy is still in the lead when all under shield. You are in control of this as a club. If you are too inactive, don't use boosts intelligently, then you let this happen to you. It's no one's fault but your own.

If you play a club that is so much stronger than you, that no matter what you do you still get into this position, then that's another thing. You've just been outclassed. Don't complain. Just accept that you couldn't beat the enemy no matter how hard you tried.

Alternatively, if you are the club with the advantage, again, it is within your full power to KEEP PLAYING ANYWAY, even though if you stopped you would win the war when the timer runs out.

The club I am in behaves in exactly these ways. When we see we are in danger of letting the other club be in a position to win by playing chicken, we ring the alarms, rally our club, and come back hitting with all we can so that we can stop the enemy from being able to hide and win. If you don't do this, then shame on you.

And when we are winning and can hide: we don't. We keep fighting, we rack up points and chests, we win by even more of a margin. The benefit to our enemies is that they get to keep fighting too, and they can earn chests.

It's very unfortunate more clubs don't operate this way. Especially realizing the former: that it's your own damn fault that you lose to clubs that hide as chickens. YOU LET THEM DO IT. So, who should you really be mad at? Look in the mirror...

My club had lost to 2 chicken teams. While it doesn’t feel great to lose this way, which is especially unfulfilling since we hardly get anything out of the war, no personal chests and no fun, I have to admit that the way my team attacks makes it possible for opponent to play chicken. For one, lots of members didn’t do overkill, so that hurts us a lot. I always remind them to do overkill, but that’s the furthest I can go.

So my point is I’m fine with losing to this kind of teams. But that doesn’t mean EA should just let things stay as it is. This is getting boring, as many had said. We play this game for the fun, so what’s the point of playing if it gets boring. So when we adopt free play style in wars, we are punished with the boredom of looking at twenty shielded cities with 10 repairs done?

The solution is simple, yet EA refuses to do anything about it. Does EA value even value its customers? It’s disappointing to know that EA doesn’t give a hoot about our feedbacks.

It is incredibly boring when the war is over within first few hours of attack phase, but we need to sit through it for the remaining duration of the war.

Club wars is starting to lose its charm. In fact, I almost felt nothing when we lost to chicken teams. Why? Because I’m starting to get bored with it already and I’m totally expecting this to happen. No surprise, no thrill, nothing.

In the past, there's the fun of getting personal chests. Now that it’s way harder to get chests, encountering chicken teams that restrict the number of chests we can get just makes it worse. This is hardly fun anymore. Now I play as a commitment to my team rather than I truly enjoy playing it like I was in the past.
