Since when did dragons ingore everything else to chase skeleton traps?

Dragons are skipping over everything to chase skeleton traps on the ground, pulling them off course. I haven't seen it happen before our current war, is this new? Its a horrible feature, ruins ya attack.

Scratch that, it was cc troops the drags where chasing. But they still skip over all over defense and buildings to target them, shouldnt they just attack them when they're near?

solution: dont use drags

since forever attacking troops have gone after defending troops when within their range, and viceversa. Thats how the game works

always....

Since always. /thread

Maybe the dragons are suffering from the same disorder as the heroes. They do whatever they want most of the time. Haha. Especially the Queen. She's a wall lover. :p

Since the day the skeleton traps came out. The solution to this is not to deploy ground troops that the skeletons might chase after. I witnessed this a lot of times. skeletons were triggered, then dragons were deployed, and then BK and AQ were deployed on the other side. The skeles then went after BK and AQ, bringing with it the dragons. Result=failure

That is exactly what the skeletons are for- Distraction. As you said they can throw off a whole dragon attack and can be the difference in a 2 and 3 star.

yeap this is right..
The only thing is Dragons chases cc troops or skeli all the time. What is different in the past is when cc troops are triggered, they will rush towards the dragons to attack them. Now the ground skeli ignores the dragons. and only run after ground troops like BK/AQ bringing all the dumb dragons with them..Moral of the story, dont deploy ground troops until Dragons done the bulk of the job. or deploy them behind the drags.

Use this to get the dragons to the center of the village then kill the skellys and you have a load of dragons in the center of the base

Nope non-defence targeting troops always target defensive troops within a certain range ... there has been no change.

I saw a great replay where drags had a townhall down to its last few hit points but triggered the cc and decided to leave the townhall and chase the cc troops thereby losing the raid with no TH destroyed and only 49% - awesome :)
