Protection from lightning spells?

I had the idea recently, after having around 1000 dark Elixer taken away from me each defense because of lightning spells that there should be an item added that you are able to place above any structure within your village and will act as a shield against lightning spells. I would say the maximum level for this would be 5, because each level that it gains, it should be able to block another lightning spell (ex. Lvl 5 lightning shield will stop a maximum of 5 lightning spells before it needs to be re-armed).
If this were added, I would say let it become unlocked when the spell factory becomes available (Town Hall 6) and then allow upgrades to the shield itself whenever a new upgrade to the spell factory is available (I.E. The sane upgrade process as the Spell factory)
i think only 1 of these should be allowed throughout the whole game, so you can choose precisely which object you would like to protect (ex. My dark elixer)
If it is let's say level 2 and it is hit by 3 lightning spells, the 2nd lightning spell would break it (and the shield would make a shattering glass noise) and then the 3rd lightning spell would work on that building. The shield would be invisible to the attacker just like any other trap, unless it is activated (with the lightning spell)

I think your idea is more complicated than necessary. The problem is people scamming resources using lightning spells, instead of taking the resources "honestly". A simpler way to implement lightning protection:

1. Add a lightning rod or other visual change to images for storage buildings, and make those buildings lightning-immune.

2. Optionally, make lightning immunity work only for storages above a certain level.

3. Optionally, simply make storage buildings immune to lightning attack with no other changes. Let the jackasses who steal resources with lightning learn about the disablement the hard way. :)

Lightning spells are meant to be used against defensive buildings; the game is designed that way and in my opinion that doesn't need tweaking. Supercell balances things nicely in the game. Stealing resources with lightning is a bit of a loophole that needs closing, that's all.

sigh. why dont you guys do a quick search of lightning spells in the forum.
you will find hundreds of threads of people just like you complaining about this.
give it up, deal with it, zap em back

please, enlighten me, what makes your attack more "honest" than someone zapping?
this is simply your opinion. my opinion is that zapping your storage is a viable attack.

since it is already in and i dont have to convince anyone of my opinion, you are the one to convince me otherwise. good luck

zapping is a completely legit strategy, with its own risks (revenge).

I'd prefer zapping to work exactly the way it works now. No change needed.

Yeah you're right. The lightning sped are mainly meant for taking out things like admit defended and Mortars. I guess I didn't think of that. But yeah, that loophole should be closed. It is very annoying.

Who cares i they are those "jerks". They sure don't. They are just happy they took resources from whiners like you. Always tell yourself that this game is a war. It doesn't matter how the enemy fails as long as you prevail. Get over yourself and zap back.

Yes I know that this is war, but things like dark elixer are rare resources and take a long time to get a lot of, and when you have people constantly putting lightning spells on it, taking it faster that you can collect it. That way of taking loor shouldn't be totally taken out, but being able to be prevented with an item like the shield idea I broght up.
