Dragons need more artificial intelligence to go the way we want them instead of going around the base, they should always head into the meat and heart of the base and head for the defenses first.
Anyone agree?

My suggestion: think about what that would mean on defense. Offense is already more powerful than defense, so there's no need for a buff.
Think about it. It would be great for you, and me, as attackers. But how would a defender feel, getting 3 starred every time by overpowered dragons. I'm sorry to say you need to get better at using them.
You probably aren't using them right.Quote:

Dragons are overpowered to the point where they are used exclusively on my TH8 account's base. There are too many fluffykitties in my war "grouping" to prove otherwise.
And many other players with great bases tend to agree (even compared to TH9 loonian/GoWiPe).
The dragon AI is fine. They go exactly where they are suppose to go which is the nearest structure to them. You need to learn how to funnel dragons just like you would with ground troops. The only thing that distracts them are clan castle troops and heroes. The air skeleton traps fly right up to them and usually don't change their path.
I get the strong feeling that SC has made the game more "challenging" by dumbing down troops AI.... all troops seem to go to their nearest target that is on their left or right before going forward toward the core. So when clearing a path to get troops to funnel toward the bases core, it has to be a WIDE gap to avoid circling the drain.
With dragons, cc's does draw them in, but it is amazing how often dragons will still manage to get back to the outside. I really believe that SC needs to clean this up as it is bad game mechanics and terrible for strategy, imo, when troops are THAT dumb... it is often more luck based than it should be.
Just remember: they go to the closest building. If you rage them, they will go halfway across the map to attack cc troops, skeles or heroes.
Its not that hard, is it?
The drag AI along with all troop AI seem silly at times, but are not erroneous - which is to say, they are doing precisely what they were coded to do.
There was a post yesterday about a similar 'problem' with the AQ AI, see if it clears anything up for you.
They do what they want because they are DRAGONS.
