My clan just fought reddit troopers. I was attacked by lavaloon 3 times. And i was 1 starred all 3 times.
Reddit troopers have some of the best attackers. Lavaloon is not op, just bases werent made to defend against them yet. Change ur base.

Fine, if you're going to be picky, lure and kill heros and cc, then hogs, few spells and win and repeat. It was very easy. Too easy which is the point.Quote:

You just need a bit more thought and to bring in other troops. Previously you didn't need any of that. Hence why they were OP.
There are things you can do today to help stop hounds. OP listed some. A good player will get through, but that really is OK. A strat isn't OP just because top players triple with it. To compare hounds today with hogs in the bad old days (a true OP strat) is simply not possible.
And as for failing with an OP strategy. People failing with a strat is perfect evidence that it is not OP. If it's OP any idiot can do it. If its not OP then people fail with it. What better evidence can there be??????
I haven't seen th9 defend against a decent lava attack. decent meaning taking out the AQ, one air def and some cc with your royals .4 hogs to take out the second AD then lava and balloons. th10 are just seeing flames with this strat.if anyone thinks they are not op.he/she hasn't been in clans that have 20+ plus th10 .its all air attacks and lavas from the moment war commences

Is there still an argument?
The real problem is that Baloonian is pretty powerful by itself, and can take out a majority of a base. Than you add the hound and it's just infuriating sometimes lol
Whereas you take away golems from a gowiwi or gowipe and you are left with next to nothing, because air troops should always be weaker due to the fact that they don't have to worry about walls...
The definition of "op" is opinionated. Iv seen gowiwi(pe) 3 star even max 10's, as well as hogs post all nerfs. Would u say theyre op?
All bases are weaker to a certain strat. Currently most people havent adapted to defend against hounds so they are overused. I have adapted, and therefore say theyre not op
Just because you have seen something happen doesn't mean it is now the standard. People have seen basketball players hit full court shots. Is that player capable of hitting it 10/10 because he hit it once? NO.
The frequency at which the hound makes it possible to 2 star max th10 and 3 star strong th9 is just TOO DANM HIGH!
So what some of you are saying is, there should be no way whatsoever to ever kill a high th10? Gtoh

I've been doing 3 wars a week since hounds were introduced and I'm yet to see any of these OP laloon attacks in game.
I've seen 3-4 TH10s roasting TH9s and weaker TH10s (I can do that with Gowi## too), and some failures from TH10/9s. I've had it used 3 times on my base (in regular raiding) and given up zero stars. I've had mixed results using it too, some triples and some complete fails.
The attacks are simply not as successful across the board as you get with a true OP strat.
