I've used them once.
Not sure why I don't use them now, just feels wrong for some reason, bit like picking up the enemy's weapon.

I reeeeeaallllly bet a lot that when you upgrade to TH10 you will love using them. Watch how they trawl your base, learn, adapt, move up and repeat. It's fun!

Person A: They didn't know what they were doing! Bla Bla Bla

Person B: You can't say they require no skill to win, and then turn around and say my defensive wins don't count because they knew what they are doing!

*conversation spirals down the toilet and turns into a flame thread*


I think of hogs as a high risk/high reward troop. Yes a great player can mop the floor with them, but really how many of those are their? Their should be some troops that reward skill over gems and big price tags (that's purely an opinion). If they were really that out of control they'd be all over in the Champion league were players can't afford to leave themselves wide open to GoWiWi and level 40 heros by setting their infernos to disco


but I also want to have that quick training unit that can hold its own when I get to place where I can avoid the DE


:D

Amen but seriously hogs are just one type of troop the troops you use in combination make a big difference whether it be wizards minions barbs or archer very huge difference

IMO they are OP. Nerf'em or give us a new defence structure that help us spank the bacon. A freeze tower that make them stop for a while could be a solution, and it should be given to TH8.

All they have to do is slow them down or increase their housing space.

Any ok hog player can easily 3 star any th9 village. The only way to stop them is with infernos, thats the way the game is now, so OP has a point actually

Try making anti hog base mate good luck...come to think of it there is a very very nice th9 layout around here somewhere... It makes me anxious to hit th9 just looking at the def logs n vids

Completely agree. It feels like SC are excluding TH9s because they know that pretty much all TH9 players don't gem.

This has been going on for a long time, and it should be stopped. Okay, so maybe nurffing isnt the right solution - balance is what we need. It was given to TH10 with the multi-inferno. All we need now, is a balance for TH9.

People shouldnt have to fear, or create a curtain base to atempt to overcome one type of troop -that's not why a lot of people play this game.

Its a a stragergy game - not 'hold you finger down for 5seconds and watch your single type of troop destroy a whole, year-old base.

Probably am waisting my time typing this, but ah well... :/

Base design is key, quit demanding another nerf to them.

Agree 100%. People are too, lazy to put in the work required to research a proper base and expect the game to just play itself. Then, when it won't, they complain and want a nerf. Hogs are good where they are. Witches need to be put back where they were, sc needs to quit messing this game up by acquiescing to narcissistic players and focus on true game play improvements. IT changes are good balance between hog and golem defense.

TH10 player with TH9 max buildings.

HEY hogs are the only way to farm th10 keep your damn dirty hands off them.
