Haste Overpowered?

Right now people are complaining about all of the new spells being weak/cliche/pointless etc. but I think the haste spell most definitely is not. As a th9 I could bring 9 haste spells on an attack, but many people say "why do that when you can bring 5 rage and get speed and damge boosts?" Balloons. Balloons are why, first off, 9 spells are a lot better than 5, secondly, haste increases speed by a lot more than rage, but the biggest reason of all, balloons travel in clumps and already desl massive damage, so the damage boost provided by rage is useless in most situations. That said, I think that balloonion/lavaloonion with 2 heal spells and 5 haste spells will be extremely overpowered. Anyone else agree?

I'm totally agree with you, Balloon 6 already an over powered troops so using 5 rage spell is useless i think 1 heal spell rest haste spell sounds good in LavaLoon raid 1 heal spell heal lava and rest of haste spell speed up those pirate balloons!

Hasye te will only be good after initial drop. Without an IAS buff or increased damage it won't matter how long it takes a loon to get from point A to point B if it just sits there getting shot at :p

First off I think you are jumping to conclusions. I mean seriously. The update hasn't even come out yet. And secondly, have you forgotten about the second air sweeper? Maybe taking haste is a way to potentially combat the extra air sweeper. Only time will truly tell though.

The two air sweeper is design to compensate the haste spell. I'm sure SC did a lot of testing to balance it out. If it doesn't work out, then they rebalance it in future updates. This game is constantly being updated so its not like the end of the world. If you quit give other clashers a favor and leave your storages and collections outside your base.

​The poison spell will probably end up replacing the lightning spells in high lv spell comps.

Just thought of another good use for rage. Speeding loons to ATs now that they won't be able to 1v1 lvl 11 ATs. You could bring 2 or so with you on a Raid that uses clean up loons

Possibly, but we won't know until it happens. And if it did start happening, players would probably start to react with new defense strategies, such as setting a 'super red bomb trap' where at least 2 or even 4 are bunched together. That will end a whole pack of unhealed balloons fast.
