More defensive buildings

I believe the game needs more defensive buildings, like canons archer towers and mortars. After all my New to TH 8 troops are still able to take two steps before they are blasted off the map of the village.
Clearly this is sarcastic, the troops given to us need to be updated to make them able to do and or receive the dps they are facing. Troops are getting seriously outclassed by the amount of defense they face.
My next upgrade for archer will gain 4 dps and 7 hp. Yet the next upgrade for canon will get 8 more dps output, and 30 more hp. Thus making the canon able to one shot my archer even with the upgrade. Now I have to get through 5 such canons, 5 archer towers the same way. Too defeat one canon I have to use about 15 archers to take it out, but when I finally do I lose more then half the archers. This is saying that thAt is only thing shooting at that time.
When checking the strategy forums here, most people seem to say that the only effective attacks in the higher levels are balloons. This is because the ground attacks are far to strong and plentiful. It would help make all attacks more feasible if the troops offered could actually take and receive a comparable dps/hp amount of damage.
This game is sorely out of balance, the amounts of elixir needed to make an army that is unable to attack with any real effect is sad to see. These things need to be addressed to put a great game back into the top ranks of gAmes like this.
More effort put into balancing the game and less into trying to gain more players would be a much better advertisement then the seriously cool commercials are.

Here's to a proper army in the future!

Do you mean Archer/barbarian raids? Or making full armies? I'm near the middle of TH8 and enjoy farming with barcher armies in Silver 1, but need Giant/healer/wizards in the Gold leagues. Haven't been to the Crystal league yet.

Sometimes there's a lot of skipping. My clan uses lots of methods for farming/raiding but I prefer dropping a few barbs then a few archers and hit full collectors and see lots of 300k (combined Gold/elixir) farms, with occasional 500k+ ones. Two hours on boosted barracks can fund two all dragon armies for war plus donations. One clanmate likes balloons and minions, and can do full storage raids/invasions. Others use Giant/healer/wizard attacks as well.

All the way up to TH7 I would make full armies to build resources. It was frustrating because it costed a lot of time and resources to make it back and profit so little. My clanmates told me to just make archers and look for full collectors. The cost vs the gain was phenomenal compared to making full armies.

I kind of like level 5 barbarians and archers. I don't expect them to destroy cannons easily but tanking helps. Tanking Giants or even barbarians let's them fire away without dying quickly. Now I get the needed resources for war and still am able to 50% bases. I prefer Silver 1 and Gold 3 leagues.

What league are you in? And what is your goal(completely destroy bases or just win recourses)?

attacks easy bases. you're th8, most of your loot should come from th7 or poorly planned/abandoned th8/9/10. when your troops get stronger, th7/8 and 9 are fair game. th10 is truly the th that's OP

right im upper th 8i barch in gold 3/2 and get 150-300k per raid, i however usually dont get above 60%. like he said i need giant/wiz/healer in upper gold and crystal

first I am in silver 1, and for last three weeks have not seen a base with more then 150k in either loot catagory. So you must be a lot luckier then I. Only bases with that are TH 9 and 10. I might as well attack the archer queen with a pea shooter and will win easier then taking even half the loot from them unless they badly laid out.

I am not looking to destroy bases completely, but ability to at least get half from the ones I hit without losing all the troops to a mortar blast or 4. Making the loot back that I spent on an army would be nice one in a blue moon though.

I guess you folks are better at this game and being able to get the big loot bases then i.

Guess I will go back to finding the bases with the 40k loot buried behind the 15 defensive buildings and count it lucky....

Is funny to see that only people that usually reply on these posts are people that disagree though. NM, cheers clashers

I think its the server you're on. I sometimes play my family member's game and find different results as far as getting those quality raids. Sometimes switching between the two results in better or worse for either character. But from Gold 3 and up I find that players are more attentive to occasionally collecting their loot and force you after the storages instead.
