This. Regardless of base design, a fully maxed th8 can always be 100% by a well executed mass dragon attack.

You are getting unusually skilled dragon clans then because our th8s are rarely hit with dragons and when they are theyre almost never three starred. I cannot remember the last time a th9 was hit with dragons in our clan.

Dragoning requires little to no strategy at all, so the best you can do is just upgrade your AD's

"Regardless of base design"... Are you seriously high? It's all about the proper base design to repel dragon attacks. In our clan we have daily wars and I rarely got 3-starred when I was TH8 by mass drag attacks.

I once got three starred as a th8 by dragons. But this was as a new th8 with one of my air defense only at level two. Th8 is a huge boost against dragon attacks. Anyone who can guarantee a three star against a maxed th8 as a th8 themselves please share your tactics.

Unless the attacker messes up, it is pretty much impossible to defend against dragons at Th7 and Th8. Th9 and Th10 have a pretty good chance since they have four air defenses and a better defense.

Some bases are more difficult than others. But as th8 there is only so much fire power that, I repeat, a well executed mass dragon attack should be able to 3 star any th8. Like you said yourself, yours rarely, but not never got 3 stared. In other word, in the right hand a mass dragon attack is capable of clear your th8 base. This is the fundamental difference and my key point.

Each of them destroyed by base over 70 percent, but no one managed to get 2 stars or 3 stars. Dragon AI is horrible. They won't attack the AD near them, while the AD pummels them.

Having said that, I think they were bad attackers since they didn't clear the surrounding structures before deploying drags. Spamming drags in one place will make them spread out and they will become easy targets for AD's. I am planning to upgrade my AD's to level 6.

One tip you can use is to keep the seeking air mines at the center near the town hall. That will help your TH stay intact. Just don't clump them. Try to Ensure that each seeking air mine hits a different dragon.

But the disadvantages of my base are:
1) Wall breakers can break the layered walls.
2) A good ground attack can easily 2 star it.

I cannot post the pic right now since we aren't at war. But its a rectangular layered base with no traps outside.

At TH7 and Early TH8 mas drags take no skill and are an easy 3 star. completely OP. Mid to max TH8 you need to develop skill and learn to read and path your mass drags with loons. However, when competent there are very few(i've seen one) TH8 bases that can defend dragloonion.

So what's wrong with that? If they are really good at doing mass dragon attack and can 3-star my base (albeit rarely), then kudos to them and I accept my defeat. I would learn at how they did the attack and improve my base instead of whining to nerf them.

Good lord, why don't we complain about pekkas as well since they are basically the ground version of dragons. Heck, why don't we just have one type of troop and be done with it.

Get some fresh air and calm yourself down. Your world seems full of anger and frustration. No one is complaining about anything here. Having a discussion is all we do here and you need to put your acts together.
