Another day another worthless thread made by Gorzo. If this OP spent more time playing the game instead of complaining about it maybe he would make it to the top of the leaderboard hah.

Offense is always supposed to be better than defence, otherwise we have a broken game. It's not a guarenteed 2 or 3 star strat, people fail with it miserably just as they do with gowi(wi,pe). Of course you're going to see amazing attacks on youtube no one wants to show off how miserably they fail lol... Kids crying for a nerf just want to be able to get their 2 stars in war but never lose any defences and where is the fun in that. Just another gimmie gimmie gimmie thread.

No nerf, and seeking air mines and air bombs should be able to be re-armed for a quarter of what they cost now. Separate issue.

No additional nerf forthcoming until they are overused by the general attacker in usual gameplay. Just like hogs. When hogs were first realized to be OP, it took several months for so many people to get them up to level five that it skewed the proportion of attacks used in the game.

SC isn't going to set the precedent of nerfing a powerful new troop too much or too quickly very often. No point in setting a precedent that all those gems they want us to spend on them will only provide a tangible benefit for a short time.

The sooner and/or more dramatically hound are nerfed, the more cautious people will be with gemming resourses and/or time to get the next shiny new OP item that will be offered.

But the OP is not asking when they should be nerfed, but rather, how. And the answer is "not at all". Max your air defenses, teslas, and wiz towers, kids. They're difficult to stop, not impossible.

And just in case it isn't already clear.... gems can also be used to upgrade the defenses capable of at least slowing them down. Funny how that worked out! Please don't force SC's hand too soon about this. I don't really want to spend 24 million gold on shiny electric blue level five xbows.

They shouldn't be nerfed. Something needs to be overpowered to deserve a nerf.

No need for a nerf or a thread like this. Keep it as is. Hounds have already received a nerf and are fine how they are.

Edit: and to be honest the most logical/practical nerf isn't even listed in the poll.. I'm not even going to mention it though because as I've stated there is no need and i don't want to give anyone any ideas.

The people that are impatient enough to gem it instead of waiting a few weeks wouldn't really care if it gets nerfed a long time after those few weeks, if they did they wouldn't gem in the first place. Also the precedent had been set an awful long time ago already. No one is asking for it it be nerfed to the point where its unusable, just a slight nerf so it isn't so overwhelmingly better than any other troop comp.

Your last point is ridiculous, a lot of the people who talk of hounds being OP are completely maxed base people.

That is the answer. why some see it as overpowered. They practice.

Uhm I highly doubt most if any of these kids complaining are completly maxed. It's not overwhelmingly better, it's just the only choice against most bases when they're designed against gowi(wi,pe). You basically just don't want change and would rather the game never progress because you say so. If you don't like the new troop and the strats it's used in either don't use them or quit the game. Rather simple options and it beats ruining it for others who do enjoy the new troop and level of gameplay. I guess it's always better to bring people down with you huh?

People do make bases to defend against hounds but it doesn't really change much. Also you misunderstand, I am not saying that I want them nerfed, but I am fairly confident they will be because they are OP. The fact that most people at the top are using them means that it is OP, thus it is better for gameplay if they are nerfed down to the level of other troops or a new ground troop comes out to make ground better. It depends on if SC are happy with the amount of attack wins there are with hounds now, or want to bring that down to how it was before.
Given the amount of defence buffs recently it is more than likely that hounds will be nerfed.

People just need to realize that if they want to hold off a lava hound attack they need to change their base design or stop complaining.

Where is the option to buff them?
