Are loonions overpowered and should they be nerfed?

No. A max th9 with nested AD, xbows up, and maxed AD traps can do a pretty good job beating back a balloon attack. Throw in centralized Cc full of wizzies and he should be able stop a 2 star easily.

Even attacking th10 in cupping you try to avoid the core. You usually just aim for a 1 star. A much weaker army then GOWIWI.

But lets get serious, any decent th10 player can 2 star a th9 with most armies if they are using 3-4 spells and mid level heros.

air deffence is strong, balloons are weak and the minnions do all the hard work :cool: everything is fine

Xbows have been on air since ive had them :)

No loonions are working perfectly fine :p It requires skills to use it properly. Th9 (not premmie) can easliy avoid the 2 stars from a raider who's not used to ballonion. ;) agreed it's OP against th8 but that's why they're lvl6 troops :p and again an well advanced th8 cannot be 3 starred by a noob ballonion user

No, not at all. You need at least 3 spells to make it really work against strong bases.

Balloons Can back fire VERY fast . That is why patience and precise attacks are usually needed - Train time with out boost is pretty long when your runnning 31 loons and 40 minions + 5 archer . . Couple spells in there you got yourself a solid cooking time and not exactly cheap on the elixer either

Ive 3 stared th9 with gowiwi with lvl 1 witches lvl 1 golems and lvl 5-10 heros haha its too easy

You need skill for this strategy and its hard to pull off

Many people brag how they can 2star maxed out th9s with minimal effort and 3star non-maxed th9 bases... Either air defense needs a buff or loons need some sort of nerf.

What do you guys think, is balancing required?

Ever come across X-Bows up, Dual-Disco, Buried A/Def, covering for WT combo..?
it SHREDS B'loons.. even the raged ones...

and more on the rage, if you are TH9, taking on TH10 you probably need two spells per raid.. if not all four. or three rage 1 heal..

so If you try to raid with out full complement of spells...and Heros to back up..then the maxing TH10 are a nightmare.. and that is the primary base type I see now that Im over 2450 Trophies..

Its same for Hogs, every time they 3-star my base, the attacker packs 4 if not 5 spells.. (so I know its a full on assault). and there is only so much a base can do (Bombs/Springs etc..) before that combo cripples all the defenses. then hops around with the clean up crew..

Hogs with out heal = much weaker attack strategy..Much weaker!!

B'linion is much weaker w/o Rage(s), you have to know this...

Hardly OP for their ridiculous training time...IMO ofc...
