Suggestions for Loons.

With the 30 second cut in time, and the buffing up of wizard towers and xbows, air attacks are getting nerfed quite a bit.

My suggestion is to make loons a tad-bit faster. They are too slow (the slowest unit - speed 10). Even golems are faster with a speed of 12. Its just insane to reach to 90+% with no defenses left and you run out of time because the units are slow.

Alternatively, after all defenses are destroyed by Balloons, it would be nice to have them scatter in all directions rather than remain clumped.

I agree. It is still possible to three star with golaloon, but you have to move much faster. Perhaps instead of buffing balloons a new spell could be made to increase attack speed? Or maybe even the effects of movement speed from haste/rage spells on balloons could be increased? This way balloons would not be overpowered, and skill would still be required in attacks. You would still need to place your spells to where their side effects will be the most effective.

That was my point exactly just increase speed not increase health or attacking power. I think though for cleaning up the base it would be better if the loons split or dispersed rather than clumping.

What about Lavahounds?

I was reading around, and in the ruled out subforum guide they had an idea they've taken into consideration that caught my attention- explodable lava hounds! In many air raids you lose simply because you run out of time, or your hounds didn't explode, but a button to have your hounds commit suicide would be a perfect addition to this problem ;-D! Of course, this still doesn't help fix the problem with the inability of balloons to move, but it's a start!

I thought about this idea as well. But in most cases you will have multiple lava hounds in the attack. How can you trigger 1 hound over others and if you launch multiple at different times it might trigger. The idea while useful, it is difficult to implement and it will cause more confusion. The loons need to improve.

I agree that air troops need a boost, but you have to be careful when playing with troops. Air attacks are REALLY strong at lower town hall levels. It's not until th10 that they really become underpowered and no longer a 3 star threat. With that said, I think a strong air troop that opens up at th10 would be the best way to compensate for the weak presence of air attacks.

Here's my new troop suggestion. Check it out, and comment if it's interesting!

I agree you must be careful with air troops. That is why I am not asking that we must boost dragons which are already powerful at lower th levels or lava hounds which are already potent. The minion buff makes it a good looting troop. Loons got left behind especially with the air sweepers, AD upgrades, X-bow upgrades and wizard tower hp buff. I am not even asking to buff up the loons or introduce a new troop. I am just saying make them either faster or a bit smarter at the end by dispersing them when defenses are destroyed. The use of balloons at lower th is limited. TH7 onwards dragons dominate or hogs. TH6 and below, only max loons are effective which you can only get in your cc so it is not your major army.
If any troops are introduced, they should introduce it at th9 cause it seems people are just jumping to th10, and doing troop upgrades and spell upgrades and getting matched with th9s in war- which seems a bit unfair.
