Outside the box way to balance dragons across all TH levels

As we know, dragons are horribly balanced because their stats increase linearly while anti air capabilities of bases increases exponentially. At TH7, 104 lightning is a guaranteed three star, at TH8 dragons are decently balanced, and at TH9 and TH10 dragons are useless and non existent and anyone who trains a dragon to hit a 9 or 10 needs their head examined, especially compared to lavaloon. Instead of just having the stats increase, what if we had the housing space required for dragons decrease as well?

Level 1: 32 spaces
Level 2: 25 spaces
Level 3: 20 spaces
Level 4: 18 spaces
Level 5: 16 spaces

Level 1 dragons might now actually struggle to three star any 7s and level 1 dragons might only be able to 3 star lower 7s (properly balanced), I think level 2 dragons with a skilled attacker would still be able to 3 star upper 7s but there would be a lot more failures, level 3 dragons would be left as is, and now TH9 and TH10 attacks might actually see a use with dragons.

Before we talk about how this would work with the CC, I don't have a solution for that yet. I would say that all donated dragons should count as 20 spaces or they'd be OP in war CCs.

This isn't too bad of an idea. Th10s would get a few more drags, th7 would get less. Good balance.

My only issue is that Supercell doesn't know how to balance the rest of TH10 like the rest of the game, and makes getting three stars on maxed tens impossible and you're only fighting for two stars rather than going for three like at every other TH level. At TH10, this might break trophy pushing because it might be too easy to two star another 10 with 15 level 5 dragons.. But that's a problem with TH10 that SC needs to figure out on a larger scale.

Yeah, true.

Dragons are essentially dead after townhall 8 and is dead after mid townhall 8 if you unlock hogs.

Air sweeper+ A good base helps negate drags attacks. No need to implement a dying troop (unless you account for the th9 aq walk + drags

Although, this could be remedied by making one type of inferno do 1.5 or double damage to dragons, thus making dragons great for getting one stars on TH10s but extremely difficult to get to the core

Are you a th7? I think you're un-aware of the fact towmhall 9's and 10's don't use drags

Great idea. Just hope it's not single target :P

I'm a 9, and I'm well aware that dragons are not used by TH9s and TH10s, in fact I find your lack of reading comprehension insulting (hint: if someone says "TH9 and TH10 dragons are useless and non existent and anyone who trains a dragon to hit a 9 or 10 needs their head examined", they know dragons are useless at 9 and 10). That's why I'm proposing a buff that can actually make them usable rather than adding another linear level of stats which didn't bring them close to usable levels, and it's equally obvious that dragons need a HUGE nerf at TH7. This proposal would help balance dragons at all phases of the game and is something all players should be for, unless you want to tell me the way dragons are implemented now isn't beyond broken (way too OP at TH7, unusable at 9 and 10)

I'm a 9 as well. I've stopped using drags exept if i need to attack a th8 in war, or donate. Th7 drag attacks are way too op, basically a guarenteed 3 star. Huge nerf needed.
