Adjustable attack range for heroes and clan castle

One thing I would like to see in Clash of Clans is the possibility to adjust the attack range on heroes and clan castle, a bit like you can do with the x-bow when setting it to air/ground or ground.

The "problem" with the current large and fixed attack range is that it is very easy to 'lure' the heroes or castle troops out by placing any troop within the large the attack range. This way an attacker can easily lure the defnse out of the village and kill off the heroes/castle troops before attacking the village. This is a strategy used by every decent attacker, and its not much you can do about it even if you place your heroes and clan castle in the middle of the map.

By having adjustible attack ranges for heroes/clan castle you can set a much better defense strategy by making sure the troops dont go out before the attackers are within a defined range. Some people might want a large attack radius and others migh prefer a much smaller one.

This is definitly an option I feel is missing for building a good defense strategy.

No, it is not necessary, but if you want to have the possibility to build a good defence you need it.

Again, ALL good attackers exploits the large attack radius and lures your defence out before attacking your village.
And there is nothing you can do about it. It is a bit annoying.

If you could adjust the attack range you could defend yourself much better.

If u can't lure, ur defensive side is good right? But what about people attacking? You go to their base and send out ur troops and boom killed by wizards in the CC and AQ BK, now would you want them to be nerfed and lurable? Just because it would do you good in defense doesn't mean it's gonna balance the game.

This is my biggest problem with complainers- they never think how it would affect them negatively.

If cc troops were unlureable by adjustment, it would make them completely op.. You'd be crying for a nerf the next day. As it is now, you can find ways to make them hard to lure but any good attacker will find a way.

Bad suggestion.

Terrible idea. If you want to make it harder to lure them then you need to design your base differently and put them in the middle. A smaller radius for the cc and heros would make it very difficult to win any battles.

Yes it would make it more difficult for an attacker since the defender have more strategic options.
Negative for the attacker but positive for the defender.

Whether or not it is a good idea depends on if you see it from the attackers point of view or the defenders...

...even if you put cc and heroes right in the middle you still have to place structures all the way out to the end of the map to make it a LITTLE more difficult to lure your defense out. There is just no way to be strategic about your defense troops. Base layout is of course most important when building your defense, but no layout can ever compensate for the large attack radius.

For better strategic defense you need to be able to control the attack radius.

...but of course it would make attacking more difficult. I get that

It would destroy most people's ability to earn. In clan wars, many people spend the extra energy to centralize clan castles, requiring extra troops to deal with it. Using the excessive amount of troops on even the most mundane of attacks, wed never earn enough to upgrade our bases.
