Healer and Archer Queen combo is too overpowered

The nerf supercell applied to obviously remove the archer healer strat didn't work at all as it is still going strong and should 100% be removed. People say that they should just build their bases to defend it but you can't, there's no way to take it out especially now that air mines don't trigger on healers. Clash of clans is supposed to be based on skill and strategy however this combo requires no skill, it's just have a high level queen, make a bunch of healers, watch them take down an enemy base. So please Supercell, nerf the healer so maybe after two healer stacks any additional no longer heal.

Two words: air defense, it's. Not like the Queen's smart enough to know to go for air defenses, the Healers die so quickly from one of them

The problem with this is that the Healer unit is used in more attack strategies than just the Queen Walk. It won't be the only attack being ruined if the Healer is practically deleted.

You obviously have no idea how to use SQ. Try it yourself, pm me successful result on your first try, and maybe then I will consider your argument. You can't call an attack OP if the only exposure you have to it is being attacked.

you have OBVIOUSLY never done a queen walk. If you had, you would know about the tedious pathing process it takes to get the queen to hit what u want her to (th, de, etc...).

Don't complain about someone who actually knows what they are doing, it makes you look like a baby. Rather, change the layout, upgrade to max th11, or, best of all.....REVENGE!!!!

Just because you see people using AQ walk against you and your buddies, doesn't mean its a "spam and go" attack. Most successful walks take either a lot of planning or some good reactions as it isn't as easy as it looks. I have been doing walks for 4 months and she still surprises me. This is the epitome of what an attack in Clash should be. As opposed to Go WiPe, mass drags, or Hogging when it used to be just spam 40 hogs and watch them destroy. I get GoWiPe so many times now and it's just takes zero thought and you can get 50%. The good part is GoWiPes are not effective 3* attacks. I

Quit complaining, learn how to attack and stop worrying about your defense. There will always be someone to come and in and destroy your village. AQ walk is my favorite attack, but it takes skill through lots and lots of practices.

You need to carefully understand and utilise pathing of the queen to make her do what you want her to. It takes practice, time, and timing.

and no, there are bases which can defend against the queen walk, there are various ways to do so.... Build bases in which wall breaker AI ensures they don't open the right wall. Keep the de away from reach of the queen without entering the compartment. Use cc troops and your heroes to first force her ability and then have a tesla farm to fry her. There are multiple ways.
if supercell needs to really nerf or remove attacks, why not Gowipe and Gowiwi... They require no skill, just a finger.

I do understand that the AQ and healer combo takes skill to execute properly, and that it can easily go wrong. The complaint I have is that it is next to impossible to get the air defenses to target the healers. When the queen is using a long range attack and the healers are healing the queen from a long range, the combined distance is too far for an air defense to reach the healers. This has always been a problem from a defense point of view. However, in the past a defender could at least have a chance by cleverly placing air traps to counter this. Now that air traps don't target the healer anymore the defender has a very small chance of warding off this type of attack.

I would like to see air traps target healers again for a couple of reasons.
- The attacker could still clear the way of air traps by dropping a loon or lava hound. It would add a little more difficulty to the AQ healer attack, but it could still be done.
- Right now the only troops that the seeking air mine can target are 1. Balloons 2. Dragons 3. Lava Hounds
- Right now the only troops that the air bomb can target are 1. Balloons 2. Dragons 3. Minions 4. Lava Hounds

When the attacker has a selection of 20 troops (including heros) to choose from, why do we have a trap that can target only three of those troops?

I'm not angry at people who use this style of attack. We all play by the same set of rules. Instead, I think they are doing a great job of understanding the game mechanics and using them to their advantage. That is what this game is all about.

Had another one of these posts a few days ago. Search before posting please.

Every seeking air mine would take out a healer. Healers only heal ground troops so nothing would be tanking for them. At 14 cost a single trap that will probably target nothing else would basically remove healers from the game.

Another thing to note is that you are probably not th10 or th11. This is extremely important because any company balances their game based on the top players. I have never been attacked by max lvl witches and they got nerfed. Clearly my experiences as an average player don't reflect how balanced witches are or are not. Inferno towers usually crush QW if she gets too close. They are almost always put in a position that is very well protected and the queen by herself needs to get VERY lucky to take out.

Air bombs hitting hounds and loons is MORE then enough reason for me to consider them extremely important. If I get attacked by lavaloon I am usually worried. Very powerful attack.

Except the range of the queen and the distance the healers stay back puts them out of range. So the queen can take out an AD without it taking a single shot at the healers. Only time AD works is when she goes in a level and sarts pathing sidways. If she stays ourside your walls she can usually get 50%+ easily with nothing more then a few barbs or archers acting as distractions. This is especially true for those with super high level queens. For someone with a near maxed queen it is basically a spam attack. The only thing that usually stops her is the clock.
