Wallbreakers on Defense?

Recently I've seen a number of mass golem style attacks in war and multiplayer modes. There aren't a lot of designs that can stop a 2 star vs. a spammed 6 or 7 golem attack using 4 jumps, 1 Rage, and a poison. With poison, castle wizards die too quickly to get much damage done. People claim that single shot IT's are the answer, but not in my experience. Single IT's just destroy one golem, only to create 2 golemites to deal with. Skellie traps set to ground just die when the golem they are targeting explodes, avoiding their distraction qualities. So I have an idea. Could wallbreakers do additional damage to golems if they are placed in the cc for defense? I mean, a golem is basically a living wall, right? Wallbreakers could have a favorite target of a golem. If people send in a group of golems, it would have a splash effect. I think that this would add to the game and diversify the castle defenses that are used. People usually hate wallbreakers in their castles, but maybe that could change? In the process it might cause people to actually need to plan for an attack rather than just spread out a bunch of golems across a base and trickle wizards and heroes behind them. Any thoughts?

Personally I don't think that Supercell should change a troop in the game just because people use a certain unit in a raid.

Wall breakers are meant to break walls, not golems.

well technically wall breakers break stone walls and golems are stone, they also have a lot of health and cost a lot to upgrade, I support this

I see a problem with this. Golems are absolutely key to any high end attack. If a cc full of wallbreakers could instakill a golem it would kill golem based strategies (and pretty much all th9/10 strats use at lease one golem). Everyone would want to put wallbreakers in their cc because the 4000+ health tank becomes useless. People will stop using golems, making attacks in general much harder. Then with people not using golems anymore the wallbreakers become useless as a cc troop.

Perhaps it won't happen exactly like that but I get the feeling it would be similar, and if it does happen then the attempt to create cc diversity and attack diversity, will ultimately cause less diversity.

There are some troops like the wallbreaker, goblin, hog rider, pekka that serve no defensive purpose in the game, which leaves very few options for defense. I like the idea of a certain troop doing certain damage to certain other troops on defense. Brings more diversity and would really change the way people just train a default army and go attack without thinking or even caring about what is in the cc. You've got my vote

Wallbreakers do 40x more damage to walls,included stone walls. So...golems are...made of...stones? Correct? And P.S: Mass golem isn't too OP. Well-placed MTI and AQ could kill them pretty quick,too.

Yes, agree with this.

However, I'm still going to lure the with something other than a golem, and will kill them with a poison spell or archers or minions.

I don't see CCdefense wbs being useful.

I think you might be taking it a little too far. I'm not saying wallbreakers would instakill any golem. Obviously that would change the game immensely. I'm just thinking of ways wallbreakers might be of better use in the defensive cc while decreasing the power of an unplanned mass golem. If you're a TH9 or below you probably don't think mass golem is OP, so you may not agree. I'm at level 3900ish with a maxed TH10 except for about 200 magmas, and I see this style of attack on a regular basis. Follow up 6 or 7 golems with spammed wizzies and max heroes and I haven't seen one fail yet using multiple base designs and multiple cc troop combos. I love golems, don't get me wrong. They might be my favorite troop. I just don't like it when people spam troops and use max heroes to win, when there is clearly little skill involved. For a high level player to compete at the highest levels, some skill should be required. This attack allows for very little skill in my opinion and cc wallbreakers might force people to rethink their strategy.

I think seeing a few skeletons carrying powder kegs doing a little extra damage to golems would be a lot of fun! (even if they were my golems)
