Clash of Clans - Balance Changes (NEW) - Coming soon.

[bigwinw]

The wall wrecker is going to be USELESS once all the point defenses get upgraded in TH12. I don't understand why we are already seeing nerfs when defenses have MONTHS of upgrade time to get to max. If they were going to nerf it at least change the time and cost for training.

for casual rushers like me this is a disspointment, siege really saved my weak heroes and troops as a townhall 12 and i could contribute in war, as Queen to weak to walk. Level 1 siege cant really get the job done when i used it, and when th12 defences maxed it will be underpowered.

I didnt gem level 2 workshop as Im doing camps first, then will be workshop, then warden, If you had Waited a few weeks Im sure many would upgrade the workshop after they done lab and camps, and you will get better data as some would have upgraded some weopons, and players will have adjusted base designs.

You can also use your own Siege Machine, you have to learn how to select before attacking.

Ok nice, but doesn't make it untrue that there was no need to max out the ww

[yolohero1997]

I will be waiting for you to post your video of you 3 starring a max TH12 but I won't hold my breath...

Alternatively, you can PM me and let me know when you want to come show me against my base which isn't maxed yet.

We can post the replays here in the forum.

Sure, I'll pm you and fc your bases today.

This is perhaps the dumbest thing I've ever read from a Supercell employee. Did it ever occur to you that perhaps nobody was upgrading their Siege Workshop because they had 5 million other upgrades to do that simply had more priority to them? Things like army camps, clan castle, storages, Giga Tesla & new traps? We only have 5 builders, so something has to get set aside. In the grand scheme of things, Battle Blimps are just not as important. And it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the Wall Wrecker being too good!

While I can’t see the nerf being a bad thing, I’ll agree on the reasoning being a bit sketchy.

Building siege workshop was very high on my list...to be able to donate them.
The blimp looked very niche, and not too strong, so that wasn’t high on the list.

But...because they are donated at lv3, I saw no reason to either prioritise upgrading siege workshop, or upgrading the machines themselves in the lab.

Standard army management common sense. Upgrade anything you use lots of ASAP, anything you only use 1 of that can be donated at a higher level, goes in the CC.

Spending valuable builder or lab time on something with little to no use makes no sense. There’s a plethora of upgrades to get done at th12, the nerf isn’t going to change that.
Still won’t be upgrading either in the lab, and won’t upgrade workshop until higher priority things are done (and we have more th12s to share WW donating load while mine is under upgrade).

To people saying it will be useless against max defs though, no, it won’t.
Just means you have to tank the WW, not use it as a primary tank.
I assumed that would be the case when it was first released in sneaks, before found out the ludicrous hp it would have.
An extra golem to help funnel so that walls get broken AND delivering CC troops to a key area is still worth it.
Just can’t rely on the WW to do it all by itself.

I think the nerf was very needed. The game was not in balance anymore. My attack logs show 70 to 80% 3 stars (High titan/Low legend) and I am defo not a super attacker. Atm still working but I will check in a few hours how this influences the game for me.

Fair and balanced, gonna have to change your name to superfox.

I find this change to be ..... curious. The way I see it ghee are two options.

1) SC knew that the ww was overpowered but chose to release anyways because not many will gem to get something weak.

2) SC is overreacting to the community feed back. I have seen many complain that their TH11 that was never three started is now being face rolled.

If the first is correct then shame on SC for being so greedy. If the second is correct then shame on the community for not adapting to the new meta.

I guess I will wait to see if miners undergo the same type of nerf since there have been many complaints about them also. Either way, while I am all for keeping the game in balance, I’m not a fan of quick overreactions. That’s what this feels like to me.

For the record, I am still at TH11 trying to max out and I have not used a wall wrecker yet. This change truly doesn’t impact me at this point but still just feels wrong.

Sure but how upgraded are your TH12 defenses? I personally have not upgraded any XBows, Cannons, Archer Towers, Wizard Towers, or Teslas.

Each new point defense does 10 or more DPS. Couldn't SC have waited to nerf until we see the full picture of what TH12 defenses can do against a wall wrecker?

why no ingame notifications after maintenance? only in some languages the two balancings are announced. all others getnothing.
