Some things just make you say hmmmm.

[Goempel]

It's already been said. It's Clan quests.

Wait, what? Am I once again the late one to the party. Ugh, man! I am such an embecile lol. Welp, thank you, to say the least! Sorry guys!

I think it’s important we don’t forget that what we are seeing right now is newly strong offence attacking bases that weren’t designed with that in mind - and in fact often were designed to make use of the now gone inferno heal block. So for example, in our present war my inferno islands set to multi became like wizard tower islands overnight... I’m not going to judge whether the new troops are OP based on that but rather form an opinion when I and many others have played with more effective new base designs.

I still have to see the first 3 star attack on my near max th10 by either th9 or th10. So far, even th11s are not always making the 3 star yet, and I am a near max th10 hovering in champs 1, titan 3 so not the least coming to try and steal my dark ay.

[Lionheart48170]

Indeed. Just 2 starred an 11 w my 9 just as you stated.

True, however there is also a limit to how much base redesign can accomplish (eg single target infernos get overrun with mass hogs or miners, xbows nerfed, attackers taking more heals to get through GBs). We haven't even seen TH11s with the extra 20 spaces yet vs max 11s. Not certain, but highly likely that TH10 is broken.

Just wait for people to adjust their bases to the new changes. And you won't be seeing th9s easy two starring maxed th11s unless the layout is awful.

[MinionOne]

It was a max TH9... Cannot really see the TH10 base (but it doesn't look like a max). Also, that base is known to be weak against decent hog attackers.

With these things, it is always easy to just how 1 example and then makes a statement.

Anyway, it is not like Supercell will just leave things as is. They can/will make adjustments.

[MinionOne]

It is also known that these videos often show attacks 2 (i.e. someone else has attacked the base before). Also, a lot of max TH9 attacks - yeah right, as if most people just stay at max TH9.

I'd be very surprised if SuperCell didn't revert the Inferno change before New Years.

If they have all gone on holiday (remember TH11 release day?), the 2017 will forever be remembered as TH11 Slaughtermas.
