Stop Dragons from attacking the Barbarian King

Just as the title says, Supercell needs to fix the Dragon AI so the dragons stop attacking the Barbarian King for no reason. No other troops will attack the king unless he aggros them by attacking their comrades, but the dragons will chase the king around the map like a puppy chasing a bug until they are shot down, often times costing a player the match. It would be understandable if the enemy king engages with an allied ground troop, but barring that circumstance, the king poses absolutely 100% NO THREAT to the dragons WHATSOEVER, so it makes no sense that they would prioritize killing him over destroying the Air defense or Archer Tower that is tanking their health. Archer Queen and Grand Warden make sense, but Barbarian King does not. Please see to it that this is fixed soon.

well, the king does not having any THREAT to the dragon, but when your queen is fight with enemy king, and your dragon just beside your queen not helping the queen take down the enemy king but instead attack some other building, and cause your queen die under the enemy king, will you wish the dragon would helped the queen to attack the enemy king?

This isn't a very clever idea. This is only taking into consideration one type of attack strategy.

What about if there was a strategy where you used dragons as a combo with ground? Then it would be good for dragons to take out the King, as the King can't do anything.

Dragons attack what ever they come across so if the king is in the way he will get attacked, your stating that it's daft for them to do it but they attack resources as they come across them and they offer no threat to a dragon.

Attacking resources and other buildings have a purpose to the attack, as destroying them boosts the overall damage dealt to the base; killing the king does not affect your overall percentage just as killing the skeletons from the traps doesn't affect the percentage; it's not necessary. And yes I realize in the event that the dragons are in a mixed army and the ground troops are targeted by the king, the dragons would just like any non defensive targeting troop rush to the rescue. However in an army of all dragons, or at a point where the king is NOT doing anything to aggro the dragons, they should not be prioritizing a enemy unit that poses 0 threat to them. I'm not proposing this to be some sort of earth-shattering major update, just a simple fix.

Have the king throw his sword or metal glove at flying troops! Problem solved..
