Barrier for dark elixer storage

Exactly. That hard earned Inferno Tower everyone wants can be made absolutely useless with a Freeze spell.

Yet people are going to complain about the most basic spell in the game stealing a petty amount of dark elixir that could be easily reacquired with one raid.

Mind boggling.

This idea is going no-where, because it is a bad idea. Now though it has morphed into WWIII :D

Exactly, or do you deny this to be true? Go ahead and lightning my mortar without using troops. That is such a stupid argument I don't even know where to begin.

Just as stupid as dropping lightning on a DE storage for a miniscule amount of DE. But it's worth it for some players.

Most people ignore this fact as well, but SC already helped curtail zapping indirectly with the elixir wall update. Now players may think twice since that excess elixir can be used for walls rather than using it on lightning spells.

The only solution is removing lightning from the game entirely. It's doing what it's supposed to. You don't like it? Create a thread asking to remove it.

These zapping threads are useless, worn out, and filled with incessant whining.

1K DE is miniscule? If it's so miniscule, I guess you won't care if it's removed. Problem solved!!!

And your "only" solution is equally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ed. There are SO many things that can be done. For instance:

1) Lit spells do damage, but simply don't steal resources.

2) Resources aren't stolen until the storages HP is reduced by 25%.

3) Introduce some sort of lit rod

4) Give Telsa's the option of being used as a lit rod INSTEAD of a defensive tower. That way anyone that uses them to protect their base from zapping makes it weaker to troops since their telsas won't be defending. That would actually make it a trade off like most other defensive options.

And yet you really want to make the claim that removing the spell is the only solution? Are you trying to make yourself into a moron? Because every post you make just makes you look like an idiot. I'd quit while I was ahead if I were you.

Those are all solutions that present all kinds of problems.

#1 is probably the absolute worst of them all. Now people can design their villages where defenses most likely to have lightning dropped on them by resource buildings. So what happens to the resources in the peripheral damage now? This makes the lightning spell 100% USELESS.

#2 is almost as horrible. So how does that work now if I use a proper raid and breach the core but only manage to get half of it? Or is that only activated when lightning is dropped. What happens if peripheral damage of lightning hits the storage? Does this mean now I have to get 75% to get the resources? See #1 for how smart players could manipulate this to their advantage. This also makes the lightning spell 100% USELESS.

#3 just straight up makes lightning 100% useless. You want this added? Then you need to add counters to all other spells. Then of course you are now making ALL spells useless.

And yeah, even for an itty bitty TH8 like myself, 1K is miniscule compared to the 2K I'd lose with a TH9 wrecking me. Far more preferable and I prefer when zappers hit me. It's win-win. I lose a small amount as opposed to a large amount, I get a shield when they take my TH, and the attacker gets the small bit of DE he was going for. A higher TH9 should be able to make up more than that in just one raid... unless of course doing that is too difficult for you.

It's sad that that guy you're arguing with (or the anti-zapping community for that matter), doesn't understand the simple fact that spells are designed, regardless of whether they deal damage directly or indirectly, to be uncounterable. Their very nature is to give the attacker an advantage that the defender cannot defend against. Any direct counter to the spell almost ensures you don't use the spell in a raid. Yes, Inferno's counter Heal Spells....thus the Freeze spell was born. So following that logic, should a counter be introduced for zapping, something else will follow to balance out that defensive edge.
