The infernos were definitely a nerf. IMO nerfs are anything that make a troop worse (or less useful)than it was before. It's not just the cost, it's the cost and paying more for less HP

Someone up there got it right. The best defense against a hog attack is well placed spring traps. That and having your base defenses spread out over a large area so hogs get picked off moving from defense to defense. If the base covers a lot of area you don't have enough coverage from your healing rings to do the job. Believe me. I use hog attacks almost exclusively and I know what stops them in their tracks.
That said, I think the latest bump goes too far. Yes, I did say that I use hogs almost exclusively so I have a dog in the fight. I want to know when something is going to be done about balloons.
