Golem Nerf? Double damage from cannons

Some type of Golem nerf seems inevitable given the success rate of 7 golem attacks. An easy fix would be to have Golems take double damage from cannons only. This would be just like how Pekkas take double damage from teslas. This would also make cannons more useful on defense since they can't target air.

This won't be popular but something needs to be done to level this major offensive advantage.

If this was done, Golems would be useless. They wouldn't be tanks any longer. Honestly, they're fine as they are. The reason why you often see success is due to unexperienced TH10s designing open base layouts.

Maybe you don't realize how overpowered 7 golem attacks are. They never lose on any layout. It is ridiculously easy. By giving cannons double damage, it forces attackers to plan more carefully or even try to take out cannons first with air before deploying golems. It would make the game more interesting.

I don't have the pics, but I've seen 7 golem strats fail on many base designs. All you need are decent walls and an enclosed base. The golems don't go ahead of the damage troops, and die quickly.

As a developed TH10, I understand the full potential of a 7 golem attack, and while I agree that it's good, I don't think it's any stronger than GoWipe or LavaLoonion.

7 golem + 4 jump spells and walls are no longer a factor. There is no base configuration that can stop this.

Never heard of mass Golems…

Is that anything like this idea?

Seems like most people didn't like it yesterday. They probably still don't like it today.

Ah mass golem. I love this topic. You know why, because one day people are just going to bring 9 golems, 2 wb, 1 archer or barb and 5 jump spells...

I love these nerf posts which only points out one specific army and says "X" troop is OP based on "X" army, what they fail to address is how many other armies at other TH levels this would affect.

In short don't be so short sighted think about overall balance to the game and other areas this would effect and factor in things that balance out the troop like cost, build time, upgrade times and what other components which makes the army you are complaining about powerful.

With the army OP cited 7 golems, you require high level heroes, this already creates a pretty hefty barrier for most players.

Then golems would be useless. It's like making air defense do double damage on lava hounds or something.
