Inferno Tower Multiple Target Range Decrease

I think the simplest and most sensible way to balance out the currently OP inferno tower is to decrease the range on the multiple target mode to 7 and keep the single target mode at 10. The range difference between the two modes would be 3 which is the same as the difference between the two xbow modes(14-11).
Being able to take out 5 units at a time at 30+ DPS AND canceling healing is simply too strong at a range of 9. At a range of 7 it would still be effective but would require more strategical placement. And this is a strategy game so... I think that's for the better.

Anyone agree?

nah, cause u know what? it is an inferno tower... Of course its meant to be OP, plus you need to come up with new tactics to beat up new defenses... You really thought when you were a beginner in the game, that you would be able to kill wiz towers and mortars with archers? believe me.. u probably did this once when u were a nub.. its the same thing.. new weapons.. new tactics that's all... nothing to panic about just chill..

You make a terrible argument. Nothing in any game should be overpowered. Overpowered means imbalanced. The inferno tower is supposed to be the strongest of all towers thus far, and it still was before. But now it is too powerful which is a problem. The fact that you a huge majority of people only using the new setting is a pretty good sign that it is too strong. I'm open to a real argument other than "adapt to the imbalance" that's like saying "hey North Koreans you have a terrible system, don't try to change it, just adapt." Well just look at how well they are doing going by your philosophy.

While I am WAY far away from having to deal with Inferno Towers, I have heard a lot of chatter about how imbalanced they are.

Markuchev, I think you offer a good check upon the Inferno Tower by limiting certain features to different distances and while I don't have the experience to determine if it would be a balanced tweak, I can say that your thought process is totally solid.

I think that this type of modification is going to be the route that game devs will take to re-balance this tower.

Do you think that the Single-Target / Area-of-Effect is the best thing to tweak or might there be a better modification that can be made like a removal of the healing counter-measures?

A gripe I have with the healing tower (again, I don't know much as I have never played against one) is the logical relationship between heat and anti-healing. I don't quite see how the Inferno Tower and anti-healing are logically related and although the lore(?) suggests that the extreme heat blocks healing effects, I would more likely believe that Healers have to avoid travelling within a certain distance of the tower for fear of the feathers on their wings catching fire Icarus style (or something..). Would it be balanced if healers were prevented from moving within X spaces of an inferno tower? Or if they were changed to less powerful, slow-moving, ground units when they get too close to the tower?

(got a little imaginative but..whatever)

Nah... It's a game not real life, just adapt..

I actually like this idea. You make a good point about placement. As the towers are right now they dont bother me much with really either mode they are in. However i cant deny that this idea would add depth and balance into the atrack strategies of people, esp ones who have each inferno set to different modes. Im sure due to the xbow model supercell has already looked at this and thrn decided to go with a same range inferno, i think it would enhance the defensive and offensive strategy aspect (placement, attack points) and add some nice balance. Good idea!

I think this is fair, honestly.

As you grow in game, you learn to deal with different defenses. Mortars, Wizards, Air Defenses, and Xbows have all had their run at some point as your most hated defense to deal with. Now high level players have to deal with a new challenge. Just like the rest of us will when we reach the point of attacking Town Hall 10s.

If you don't regularly fight TH10, don't even bother posting on this. What's the point? You have no idea whether this would be good or not. Personally, I think a slight range reduction might not hurt. I regularly go against the new infernos with hogs, or more recently, giant healer, and especially in the case of giants, the range is very annoying. Hogs you can rage and get to the tower pretty quick, though any good TH10 base is going to be next to impossible to kill with hogs regardless, since hogs are now much weaker than they used to be. Even my new TH9 layout has yet to lose more than half resources to hogs.

Chicken of u seriously think its fair then ur WAY wrong ur telling everybody to fuk themselves of they are TH1-9. NO TROOP can go against a inferno tower not hogs no PEKKAS nothing can so if ur telling me that we will all reach ther one point then why don't everyone just rush TH10??BTW that's not how the games suppose to be played It's so OP that 1 lvl 1 inferno is strong we than 3 LVL4 XBOWS so yea it is OP beyond the limits of this game
