Skeleton Traps

This post is very simple. Either troop AI needs a major upgrade or the skeleton trap needs to be removed from the game. Since we all know no advancement in troop AI is coming any time soon, please delete this obnoxious trap. I did not like the addition of it in the first place, and after being repeatedly hosed by this trap I am sick of it. Ground troops taking out the th will suddenly stop to attack the skeletons, others will chase them across the map. Balloons are rendered useless vs. the air skeletons unless there are minions with the loons, and if the loons are in the middle of the base chances are the minions are on the outside while the loons are getting attacked in the middle. This trap was a cute halloween idea but the fact that it has lasted up to now is ridiculous. Attacking is hard enough as it is (and yes attacking takes some skill if you do not have max heroes for all of you that will claim attacking is easy). This game is constantly beefing up the defense while the offense is starting to fall behind. As a th9 attacking max th9s and th10s 3 stars and 2 stars are hard enough to plan without having a small trap change the entire strategy of the raid. I can't be the only person who thinks the trap needs to go, and if you do not agree I would like to know why it should stay. Thanks for your response.

And and and i got 3 starred by lavaloon. They should remove Lavahound as well....And balloon.....and minion......

Haha thanks for the "well thought out" response to a legitimate issue. Any better reason on why it should stay?

Takes skill to place skeleton traps in the right place.
Try "♥♥♥♥♥ing" your opponents by doing the same!

Yes, you could remove them. Or you could step up your game and attack properly. I can take out TH9s with their skele traps at a less than maxed TH8. This would merely be your incompetence in attacking.

I can't stand complaints like this. Just because you can't take out tiny little traps or can't defend properly against balloonian then that's your problem, not SC.

That was the main purpose for the skeleton trap. With its low hp and next to nothing damage, what the hell do you think it would do except DISTRACT troops.

Haha I don't know where I stated I was having problems defending against balloonion or lavoonion I have defended perfectly fine against them seeing that I'm maxed th9. Apparently I was misinterpreted somewhere. I know how to 3 star th9s and can do it very successfully, and I have 2 starred max th10s with lavoonion before. My gripe is with how troops react to the skeleton traps. You must have never had all your troops bolt from the th and start breaking through walls to attack skeletons on the outside of the base, which are destroyed by the time the troops get to them. If a couple troops are distracted that's fine, but do I really need every troop in my army to focus on the skeletons?

Now you get to the point!
So only a small number of troops should leave the main group to attack the skulleys, right?
That's easier said than done...

I agree with you, but how to return the gold that has been spend to full upgrade. lol

Good. They must be working......


Skeleton traps are supposed to annoy you, but deal insignificant direct damage. The only part of your post I agree with is that balloons should be able to attack them (but not as a priority). I imagine this being implemented as the balloon exploding to deal splash damage to air troops.

But to me is sounds more like a rant than a suggestion, though you raised some fair points. Skeleton traps are just supposed to distract the troops. And I don't think they are going away anytime soon.
