While I get that it's a common attack strategy, it's mostly a 2 star attack strategy for players who haven't really learned anything else.
From that perspective it probably benefits me as a max TH9 that other TH9s don't have it because I don't need it and TH9s using straight gowipe are never going to 3 star me. That's a selfish reason though, so it's not a good one. In terms of the gameplay, I don't think that the additional HP and DPS of a level 4 PEKKA would make GoWiPe a more effective 3 star strategy against higher level TH9s than the strategies that are already out there, but it could make it a more viable option.
