This - giant bombs in pairs turns hog clusters to bacon. I survived over 2700 as a mid-progression TH9 during our trophy push, winning at least 50% of my defenses (no chance against genuine GoWiWi though).Quote:

CC in the dead center of the base and well placed traps made them VERY hard as a hogger myself! Quit your whinging and adjust accordingly!
Nothing wrong with the troops, its just you who are lost in the game. Read, watch and improve.
Good base and good trap placement!
Properly using hogs does require skill and strategy. Knowing how to break a hog ring to breach the core isn't something that hog spammers understand. They just spam them and the heal spells then pray they get three stars.Quote:

Creating your base to counter only ONE of the 15 troop types is proof that the issue exists.
And before you ask, yes i have adjusted and built an anti-hog base, but the truth is, i shouldn't have to.
All of the top players have very similar layouts, designed to combat the GoWiWi strategy... Should all of those troops be nerfed as well, since they had to create a base designed solely to combat that army?Quote:

Just look at the difference in attacks as you progress up in cups. In gold leagues I never lose to hog attacks yet once I get to C1 – masters very rarely do I get a defensive win against them. I am only counting L5 hogs here and to me it least it shows hogs need to be used skillfully or they fail miserably. In gold legues where people assume they are easy mode and just spam they rarely get past 20%
