Option to redirect your troops and heroes.

So, I was in clash of clans like 30 min ago attacking at war and failed. Some of the pekka went the way I didn't want them too. I was thinking "What if there was an option to change where your troops can go?" so I went to here and decided to make a thread about it. Here is how I picture this, I imagine in the shop there is this option to change where your giant troops go. Giant troops because I don't think anyone would like to press every barb and archer they sent after they sent like maybe 30 into battle. Anyway, There would be an option to buy (with gems) a pack that includes pekka, giants, etc. Plus, another pack that includes the Barbarian King and the Archer queen to change where they go too. Or the option to buy both in 1 with a little bit lower gem cost. I think how it would do in battle is that if where you wanted the Queen or King to go a far way...they would be fast forwarded to that spot and you pick what object you want them to attack. Obviously, it can't be unlimited space to pick where you wanted the hero to go since it would be unfair to people who don't have it yet. I think that if they did consider this idea, in a regular raid it could make the raid slow at first with zooming in on what object you could attack in the range of heros but not troops. With war raids, they won't zoom in and slow down since you have to be quick with war raiding and try not to mess up. Finally, the giants for example you could pick the group and not individually and send them somewhere else but with heavier troops like lava hound and pekka you could pick individually. Thank you for reading this, any constructive criticism is always appreciated. Keep on clashing!

I disagree, the game is built on troop AI. The challenge we face as clashers is to carefully deploy them to have the best chance of going where we want.

Winning battles would be too easy if they always went exactly where we wanted and ignoring other aspects of bases. Which means defending for all of us would be an absolute nightmare. We would lose all the time.

Yes but Supercell is always changing the A.I on troops. For example this update says that troops won't attack unnecessary walls including the archer queen. Plus before this update one of my clan members did a raid and almost got 3 stars but he didn't since the queen was shooting at a wall instead of going around to destroy the tower. Plus, maybe there could be a rule saying that you can change where your heros go once per raid...Idk but the I.A is constantly changed by supercell to make it better so people can like it.

"If we couldn't defend our bases it would be a total nightmare" Do I detect Hypocrisy in that sentence, cause I thought this game is supposed to be fair for everybody not one person.

"Always", I doubt that. Sure there has been some AI changes over time, generally for the better too. Everyone has the same AI to understand and deal with. The Queen AI change is actually for the better, she is predictable now. Previously she was not.

Given you didn't even quote what I posted that statement is irrelevant.

Are you a journalist? They are good at misquotes.

That's offensive and disrespectful to journalists, I suggest you keep your mouth quiet or you will be in trouble. Plus, I may have not quoted every word but thats basically what your saying.

Defeats Purpose

A purpose of clash of clans is too have a careful deployment strategy, and this kinda ruins it. Besides, 6 pekkas running to a town hall with max rage spells and wall breakers? Nah.

What If you get kicked out of clan for screwing up an attack huh? That's happened with most clans. Besides, how would you feel if you put a dragon somewhere you were certain to attack an object close enough and gets killed instead? I wouldnt be very happy.

I fail attacks sometimes. It happens to us all. Im a long time member of my clan and they understand, sometimes you make a mistake. Just like this last war that ended. My first attack on my mirror.... 1 star. Doh! Totally embarrassing loss. Clanmates were ok and as the war was about to end at 36 to 36 and me and another had an attack left, i help lock it down with a 3 star attack.

If youre in a clan that would kick you for a mistake, maybe you weren't meant to be with them.

Redirecting troops i feel would absolutely be too OP, without doubt. Boom beach has it but you can only attack from one side and even then it can be OP. I would not want a signal flare is clash.

yeah it would be Op, but what if there was an option to buy it? That would make supercell tons of money and maybe it can only be for clan wars. Also, it wouldn't be like 99 cents but maybe like 5$ since everybody probably wouldn't want to buy it or they didn't have the money. Plus, there would be way more restrictions then to what I said lol. I see your point on the attacking from the war.

What everyone has been saying is where I'm going with this reply.

The entire strategy in attacking is based on troop placement, troop timing, and troop targets. In order to have a successful attack, you need to utilize those key features well enough to achieve your plan. With your addition (even with a cost involved), you'd make this either a pay-to-win game, or make it way too easy to get stars. Trophies are earned, not forced. If this were pay-to-win, SC would lose tons of consumers, and eventually the few that are willing to spend would get bored as well. Either way, this destroys the largest aspect of planning a good attack.

I reject your idea.

If it is OP and you can only use it if you pay, Clash of Clans would officially become P2W.

Please don't talk negatively to the Game Specialists. Not to be rude, but there is a reason he was promoted and not you.

I don't honestly care...sorry but I don't. Plus, he was talking about journalists in a rude manner. I hate rude people like that no offense.

It wouldn't be P2W if they didn't force you to buy it, it's an option...just like with gems. they don't force you to buy gems.

It's the exact definition of P2W. Any time a game offers a weapon that is strong/OP that can only be used by players for money, that is P2W. While Supercell may one day decide to create a P2W system, I hope they do not. Once a game turns P2W, you can never go back and it only gets worse from there.

Ah ok. True that, I hate P2W games. Especially, if they turned into P2W.
