Why are healers so dumb?

A few minutes ago I was attacking and dropped down 15 giants, 25 barbs, and 50 archers. Once I had killed their air defenses (the first thing I normally go for) I dropped a healer. Most of my troops were still alive at this point. My archers naturally split off to the left and the giants and barbs went up top. While my giants and barbs were marching straight to their death, my healer stuck around and kept healing my archers which had taken very little damage or none at all. After nearly all my melee troops had died, my healer decided to try to trek across the screen to save the couple that remained. Of course she just flew up, healed nothing, and got shot down by an archer tower.

I can't tell you how many times I've dropped down healers and instead of healing from a distance like they're made to do, they fly right over my troops in the line of fire. They keep inching closer and closer to air defenses that I had made sure were far enough away when I dropped my troops and end up getting shot down.

Is there some sort of game mechanic that makes anything that shoots air act like a magnet for healers?

healers aren't dumb you just have to know when to deploy her like for example you deploy giants wall breakers destroy wall the place healer AFTER PLACING HEALER DEPLOY MEELEE TROOPS as if you put the meelee troops first the healer will and or could get distracted on the meelee troops

They go after the troop with the lowest overall hit points, so makes sense that a barb or giant could have considerably more damage than an archer but still have more health! They are pretty

PS:

I've found healers work best in pairs (just a general tip). I'm a huge fan of a 2 healer, many wizard, some archer, some WB army when going just for trophies. However, I've had some super epic major fails with this combo, especially when I forget to wipe out air defenses first.

Because they are blonde, duh! :p

give 'em a break...i mean they're made out of elixer...

The healer's an angelic nurse,
who gets hurt worst, shall be healed first.
She gets confused when forces part,
but do not blame her gentle heart.
Her eyes are big just like a bug!
but do the curtains match the rug?:cool:

It's melee. Plus, calm down and stop raging, nobody cares. Haven't had much experience with healers, but I've seen what healer/giants can do. Pretty slick.
