Being I haven't been 3 star's by dragons since th7, it actually an honor to see them useless sky lizards perform like they should now and then! Then supercell won't see the need to remove them totally

Dragons are only useful at TH 7 and to an extent TH 8.They are useless against TH 9s and well...cannon fodder against TH 10s.Just let them have their day.
Moreover,upgrade all your ADs to level 5.It might protect against dragons to an extent.Who said dragons are a simple star stealing method? You know how stupid dragons are? Always moving away from the rage spell we drop?
Youve got an air sweeper,try to place it in a direction which is always attacked by dragons.I think the best strategy as a TH 7 to protect against all dragons is placing your builder huts etc in the corners.It might restrict a 3 star to a 2 star.This has happened to me sometimes in wars.Its not always reliable but try to make as many protections as you can.Many stupid rage spell placements will cost the player 1 or even 2 stars.I was attacked by many dragon users who stupidly wasted them for 1 star.So,please refrain from calling them as simple star stealing method.Definitely,it is not comparable to ground attacks in terms of strategic gameplay but its like a million times more expensive.Just take it like 'the players are sacrificing their elixir for 2 or 3 stars'
2 dragons?? Really? Dragons are already useless at higher levels and limiting them further? Lol.
And you can always revenge on TH 7s who 3 starred you using dragons by using dragons yourself.
"Dragon abusers" is only a problem at TH7, once you start making way into TH8 they are no longer a drop and automatically win troop.
You have to be very careful about suggesting ways to re-balance them, like the '25 housing space' idea one posted. That would basically kill Dragons out of the game from TH8 onwards.
Again, the issue is TH7, any adjustment to Dragons needs to be dealt with exclusively at TH7. For example, move the 2nd Seeking Air Mine unlocked at TH8 to TH7. That way the balance at every other hall remains unchanged, while TH7 air defense gets a little stronger.
The they will stay till th9. And even at th8 the amount of drag users decrease by like 30 percent. At th7 it's a no skill garrunteed 3 star unless you seriously suck that bad. Assuming you're th7, hurry up and head to th8/9. You won't be complaining since drags aren't used at the pro levels (8+) when you reach there.
Then you should find a more solid base, i don't see a lot of th10s get 3 starred by dragons...
Stop whining and use Dragons yourself! A full Dragon attack is a strategy like any other. It cost a lot (time & resources), so it's only fair it pays...
As a mid-TH8 I tend to use my lvl 3 Dragons quite often in War, combined with 3 lvl 4 Rage-spells and 1 lvl 1 Earthquake. My Clan Castle drops 5 lvl 6 Balloons and I bring my lvl 8 BK along. And I usually get three stars for my clan. Believe me, it's more than just releasing them on an enemy base, especially when that base has 3 lvl 6 Air Defenses...
So, get over it, and learn to Dragon-raid yourself!
If th7s didn't have an easy attack strategy, I wouldn't take them. I don't want to see th8s having to dip down to clean up th7 fails with giants and baby hogs. They don't have decent troops to donate. What good would they be?
This is another elixir walls wish, people fail to think about repercussions that will result.
Congrats, dragons no longer work and you can attack with your giant/healer. Also, no decent clan will take you, and good luck learning how to attack when you're a new th8.
