Hog Riders Overpowered

That's easily remedied with the hogs. just have them going in a circle with your defense positions, and look for ideas. I know people have posted some good suggestions in this thread.

Does BBKing & Queens squares count as defence? I saw on the base example they were in the middle layers so I guess not but want that confirmed.

No, nor does the CC.

The reason people think Hogs are OP is because of their unique AI, the reason Anti Hog bases are made is because conventional bases wont work against Hogs due to their AI, it has nothing to do with them being OP, and besides there are ways to counter both Hogs and Giant Healer, Mass Drag, Balloonions etc.

It makes the base weaker to other troops. The amount of hog bases that can be taken out by giants and heal spell (not th10) is ridiculous. It's hard to make a base that is good against hogs while retaining the ability to be giants/balloonian or any other attack strategy. If they are good at taking on others why were those bases non-existent before hogs targeted defences?

Actually, Giant-Healer, Hogs, and Balloon-Minions are very similar in strategy. AS those armies contain main troops that target defense buildings first, if you employ an anti-hog strategy, it works for those troops as well.

The only concern is the heavier troops like Drag, GoWiPe, GoWiWi. Which you need plenty of splash damage (mortars, xbows, wiz towers and AD in well protected areas).

But giants dont skip walls. Also the air defence may be positioned in a different place as theyre irrelevent for hogs and yet needed for balloons.
Just asking but dont you need a ring of defences round the outside and the troops to attack that ring. But if you need to protect everything except cannons and archer towers then how is that ring complete. I guess we're not going to agree but from my experience in attacking and defending most hog bases are weaker to other strategies. If you don't have an anti hog base or arent th10 well then 100% almost all the time.

I spend so much time and some money on upgrading my base for it to be completely destroyed by an over powered troop. I think something should be done. I hope you take my message into consideration.

They've already been nerfed numerous times, anymore and.. goodbye hogs, just like Valkyries (not commonly used).
