When I did push trophies, I found it easier to gain trophies by defending. Winning 70-80% of defenses would gain more trophies than getting 10-15 from attacks. The downside is you only lose resources defending. Need to buy more bombs, air bombs, gem heroes, etc. At some point you run out.

Defense can get you 3k cup. Past that, you'd probably learn that pure offense is the key. :rolleyes:

Apparently now you just need a near maxed TH8, with three devastating level 6 wiz towers.

I must have been hallucinating the heavily upgraded TH10's getting a going over in countless replays.

The hogs are simply too overpowered. And as Pedro said, you can test the expert hoggers rush on high end champion level. It is so frustrating.

One of the possible solution is to make Hogs space requirement into 8 space per hog .... and switching make Valkyrie space requirement into 5 space :p

Lol, my argument was based on your comments of three staring a TH8 base with your eyes closed and no heal spells. I never said a near maxed TH 8 could withstand any hog attack.

Get your facts right ...

I am absolutely disgusted that there are so many inexperienced players commenting on topics they don't have a clue about. You and all your other stupid level 70 forumers don't have the slightest clue about how much hogs impact the game at 3k+, so when you say moronic things like you just did, it makes me lose hope for your kind. You keep talking about your farming level 8 town halls, while the 30 forumers in the 3k+ range currently talk about hogs.

Oh my gosh, EXACTLY!

Funny how so many replies hated towards this. However, I completely agree with everything in this quote. :rolleyes:

Any skilled raider should be able to 2-3 star any base with maxed troops, 4-5 spells, and sensible deployment. This applies not only to hogs, but to all other combos as well. To me, this is the definition of being balanced.

At the same time, I understand how difficult it is to gain cups in champion league, and that when they lose a defense they lose too many cups. However, this is a separate issue from any combo being strong.

Please remember that this game is catered for players for all cup ranges, not just champion league players. Hogs are not over powered because it is not an auto-win button for any player, and only deadly in the hands of skilled raiders. That is the way any good combo should be. We should address the champion league cup problem separately from this, as nerfing the hogs any more would basically reduce their usage to almost none in lower cup ranges.

Without addressing the real issue here - champion league cup imbalance, any strong combo will be complained upon: mass dragons, gowipes, witches, hogs, on and on... and it will keep going on forever. Once we solve the cup issue, all these complaints will pretty much all be gone.
