Hogs/giants and Heroes!

Since the new update where hogs have turned vunerable to giant bombs there has been a lot of complaining about hogs being underpowered for their cost,
i and a few other people still use hogs but i have to attack only certain bases.

I was wondering, when the heroes turned unlurable they were said to be more like "Defensive Structures"

Since they are defensive structures i was wondering maybe they should be targetted by giants / Hogs (Favorite target : Defenses) This could help balance out all of the people moaning about hogs not being good enough and heroes being over powered etc... And also give a variety in attacks so people may use different troops.

The giants and hogs will obviously go to defenses if they are closer than the heroes.. ;)

Discuss what you think :)

I am not totally sure how that would work out, but it is indeed an interesting thought. You do raise a good point that they did state 'like a defensive structure'.

They are not Defensive Structures, because you can attack with them.

Also where did you get that they are more like Defensive Structures from? According to the notes ingame, they are Battle Specialists now.

The troops would still act the same, they will go to whatever is closest. But i don't see why they don't target them if they are 'defensive structures'

Some of the sneak peaks before the update said something along the lines of "New and improved heroes now act as defensive structures"

So i guess you are against this?

Indeed I am, even if the update notes stated that, they did not say they ARE defensive structures, they just act more like them, with their smarter AI. You can still attack with them, therefor they are not defensive.

And nd as I said, ingame, it states they are now Battle Specialists

That is a pretty good point, but some people do construct their base specifically so that the heroes can't be drawn out and so people are forced to just send in their giants/golems/hogs into the base anyways. I like the idea, but I suspect it would cause a lot of complaining.

My base is constructed like that, but most of the time i am not even attacked by hogs etc..

No where does it say anything at all that they act like defensive anything. It does say they are smarter on defense.

In any case I would agree they should present themselves as Defense to giants/hogs. But if they do then should be able to use their ability at a certain point as defense too. Like if a hero is attacked by 3 or more troops at a time, their ability self activates.

That was an announcement after/when the update was released, in the sneak peaks they said on some sources that heroes would act as defensive structures and be much smarter when defending.
