Notice I didn't say nerf because it is a pretty cool trap it's just when your hogs are balls deep into the enemy base and those traps open up the hogs all disappear rather quickly and no other troops are close enough to dispel them. Positive and negative feedback encouraged:)

Still seen skilled people use them to 3 star a max TH10... if you are complaining that you cant spam hogs and spells to 3 star a TH9, then you need to learn it shouldnt be that way. Otherwise, watch videos and practice more to learn how to counter skeleton traps and use hogs even more effectively with skill.

They should make hogs so that they attack heroes and/or skeleton traps...

im one of hog fans..long ago
now mass hog totally useless..
skeleton not an issue,but double giant bomb is.

Why don't you go whine to the top war clans who mostly use hogs at th9 for the 3 stars about how its impossible to do now.......

Watch the video i posted on page 3. It's a hog attack

I have sure noticed a massive loss of potency for hogs from the skele traps. Not so much balloons, zero damage to drags, and an apparently severe effect to hogs.

Hogs used to blow through bases and it was just a question of "is it 3 or just 2 because they run out of time", because hog attacks tend to have to waste a fair bit of time just luring and trying to sniff out giant bombs. It is now quite rare that hogs go all the way and kill every defense.

Honestly if we get in a clan war and notice alot of the other team has hogs, we kind of party. Because they can't beat us anymore.

top war clan here. probably THE BEST war clan that is just family and friends. We are blood relatives and neighbors and school kids we have 8 years olds... and...

95 wins.

Not gamers or big gemmers. Just awesome.

And yeah, hogs aren't really scary any more. Lvl 6 balloons are scary, with those pesky little hounds out in front of them.

OneHiveRaids also has good hog rider attacks

And that of course means that hounds will be nerfed soon. Or balloons.

That is how SuperCell operates. It is exactly how they used hogs. They OP something and then they nerf it after everybody spent for it. Hounds will be no different, soon they will nerf them, AFTER everybody has spent on them. Now they are nerfing barch, that trend will continue, ...

They will eventually buff valks until they are actually useful, then they will nerf them.

Then they will rinse. Then they will repeat. Its how this company operates.
