The Air Sweeper- Issues

Hello, I am a decently well off town hall 9 with a second account that just upgraded from being a maxed out town hall 7 to a town hall 8. I have been playing Clash for over 2 years now and so I like to think I am a very experienced player. I would like to state that I believe the Air Sweeper was an awful update. Especially for my lower level account, because a dragon raid is my main attack strategy. Anyways, there was nothing easy about an air raid pre-sweeper. The Air Sweeper quite literally renders my Dragons useless; they are unable to go anywhere! The strategy I use is amazing and is almost a guaranteed 3- star against another town hall 7 and guaranteed 2 star against town hall 8's. If anyone is interested in hearing my "money strategy" just ask in a comment below! Back to my point, These raids do so well not because air attacks are easy but because I have worked for a very long time to perfect it and I have become excellent at attacking in this manner. Yet, ever since the Air Sweeper came along I have struggled very much to do anywhere close to as well on attacking. Dragons DO NOT move fast enough to destroy anything when they are constantly being pushed back 2-3 tiles every 3 seconds! It is unfair, there is no ground attack that can 3 star a town hall 7! (atleast as far i have discovered).

uummm,,, air sweepers are meant to delay air attacks, making it a challenge for mass air attacks to 3 star bases. try putting your air troops either behind the air sweeper or its sides.

I understand that. But, they are making it not possible to air raid!

This attack has come under fire with the new air defense but with proper use of Lightning spells instead of the rage spells along with placement you should still be pretty well off to 3 star the bases. At least they allow you to know the direction it is pointing. Imagine if you didn't. :)

I do use lightning spells, but now i have to worry about 3 defenses instead of 2.

So, in a nutshell:

"Hey SuperCell, I used to be able to drop 10 dragons and rage them for 3 stars, now I have to actually plan my attacks in advance, please fix this!"

Close?

You had found a way to three star a TH7 with dragons? What was it?
