Is the game getting too complicated?

Let's consider a (certainly non-exhaustive) set of rules/facts about the game, including some out of the announced upcoming update:

-Giant bombs do some damage, except they do 50% more damage on hogs.
-Minions do not trigger seeking air mines (the black ones), but they do trigger air bombs (the red ones).
-Teslas do some damage, but they do extra damage to PEKKAs, which in fact is their favorite target: as soon as a tesla senses a PEKKA in its range, it will drop its current target and target it instead.
-Healing spells have a reduced effect on heroes.
-The lava hound will no longer be hitting air targets... but what about the lava pups? Will they be hitting air targets?
-The trigger radius of a tesla is smaller than its hitting range.

Special cases and exceptions; this seems to be the way CoC is now going. I suggest that gameplay be simplified, before it becomes way too complicated. Some specific suggestions:

-Giant bombs no longer do extra damage to hogs.
-Minions trigger seeking air mines as well.
-Teslas no longer favor PEKKAs as targets and no longer do extra damage to them.
-Healing spells have the same effect on heroes as on any other troop.
-Lava hounds and pups have the same set of targets: either both hit air targets or none.
-The trigger radius of the tesla equals its range.

Feel free to add to this list any other arcane exceptions that you can think of!

A Tesla will not drop another troop to target PEKKA's though if there is a PEKKA in it's range it will prioritise it over other targets.

From the wiki:

Although the Hidden Tesla prioritizes P.E.K.K.As, if it is attacking another troop and a P.E.K.K.A enters its range, it will not attack the P.E.K.K.A until the troop it is attacking is destroyed, or the troop that was under attack by the Hidden Tesla leaves the defending radius of the Hidden Tesla.

Complicated? No
Balanced? Yes

These are all small ways that SC has used to balance the game. It is a strategy game, and players who are smart notice these

if giant bombs didn't do extra damage to Hogs, TH8 warring will be as easy as TH7:facepalm:

Consider most of those are written ingame, I don't see how it can be complicated

-When giant bombs didn't do extra damage to hogs, they were too OP
-I'd rather not spend the re-arm cost for it just to kill one minion
-This way GoWiPe would be too strong
-They have already the ability to gain or preserve some health
-I don't see much of a difference
-To me it's ok the way it is now

On topic : they are perfectly balanced

Games that are not complicated are boring games.

I agree, but when they didn't do extra damage, defenses also had less hp's, heroes could be lured to a corner and dealt with, and there were no skeleton traps.
