New ideas for defensive traps/buildings

Hello everyone. This is my first time posting a thread on supercell forum and if there is anything that i should know, feel free to notify me.

In my personal opinion, mortars seem to always miss their attacks due to their slow moving projectile. Most smaller units are able to run away from it when a building is destroyed. If there are tanks (golem,BK) around, they tend to just take most of the aggro of the mortar leaving the rest of the smaller units totally unharmed.

My idea here is that we could create some sort of trap/building which creates a vacuum every few seconds to bunch groups of ground units together so that mortars have more effect. If its a vacuum trap, placing it in strategic areas could make them take the full brunt of the mortar aoe or maybe a building similar to air sweepers which vacuums unit towards them but does no damage.

Let me know if anyone likes/dislikes the idea. Constructive feedback to improvise the idea is very much a welcome.

Hey, I like the idea. I certainly agree with the time between the mortar finding the target and the shell hitting that spot to be too long.

Instead of a vacuum pump, what about a tar pit trap, say, the size of a small bomb and every troop that wanders through it then slows for a few tiles? Maybe they could just replace the small bombs with them cos they're pretty pony.

However I'm sure a forum big hitter will be along in bit with a pithy reply and tell you otherwise. (whisper it, but it's not the most helpful/friendly of forums)
