Why TH Trapping Isn't the Greatest Idea

They think it helps them to win defenses

I freaking hate this! All I want is a snipe, all they get for being a douche is me throwing everything at them. :smirk:

I dont to this, but a leader of the clan do that all the time...it is fun to see how people panic, when they see 4 teslas. Someone wasted 3 pekkas for getting that TH :cool:

I rather use teslas for protecting my DE.

I think some also do it for this reason -Thinking the teslas will kill a lot of troops and give elixir due to the tombstones at the end of the raid

But if I'm attacking and they have their th outside and trapped, which I find out by hitting it first, I just hit collectors, zap their de and leave before hitting 40%. They can have the trophies and the next guy can do the same, or smash them. Don't care why they do it. I personally think it's stupid and let them know how I feel.:cool:

Pretty easy to understand the reasoning for #1 but I think most people that are wanting to snipe will have enough troops to take out the TH anyway but then are just mad about the waste of troops.

For #2 there is some sense to it but then again many people that would snipe a TH are more concerned with getting trophies than getting resources. For someone like me looking for resources, I'm actually MORE likely to get your resources since your teslas are conveniently placed outside your base so it makes for easier loot! I like taking all of the loot and leaving the TH and it's teslas intact and unattacked.

#3 just doesn't sound like much fun to me but I'm sure lots of people enjoy it.
