Why the hate on donation goblins?

[maggiep0tat0]

Personally,

I prefer archers on my TH 8 alt because she sometimes gets full-on dragon attacks, courtesy of her *erm* less than pleasant farming ways (Hey, she always shield after she raid!).

For my lower level TH 6 alt who is grinding Sub200, gobs do fine as defense because they are so fast - and nobody, oh well, ALMOST nobody, is going to attack you with balloons / lightning spells @ that count. Heck, I don't even think I've seen a wallie in weeks.

That being said, it's really a personal preference.

I have a clannie who wants only gobs in his CC & swears by them. (Glares at split personality on vacation.)
Another loves wizzies & yet another likes having dragons (he farms Sub200 & apparently loves seeing them rain fire on gobs)!

No need for name calling, mud slinging or digs below the belt.
It's like calling my boyfriend blind for falling in love with a fat lumpy potato.

Let's play a game. Everyone make a list of 10 units, ranking from personal most favorite to least favorite. Ok, now post it as "The" list of what should go into the CC.

Lol Ping, I think a thread similiar to that was made & discussed ad nauseum a few weeks ago.

Those higher lvl balloons are pretty fearce. Add a cc full of them, they can do some damage. I dread seeing an army of them coming out of a cc.
That is just me.
All in all I prefer archers as they are more versitile.

Giants make great distractions for def weapons. It really depends on the attack and whether you are using as def or off.

Users preference. I never use my CC for attacking/farming so for me I am leaning towards archers for defence purposes. I wont get mad if you give me goblins though. I'm glad I helped a clannie out through XP / "Friend in Need" achievement. It all depends on the base set up, TH level, trophy level and users preference to take full advantage of CC troops.
Organised clans have a "default CC troop donation unless requests for a specific troop policy". Usually it's archers while for some it differs.

I heard peace, love, and harmony grow the best potatoes.

Oh and just for laughs, I shamelessly googled ad nauseum.

Ah well, plenty of peace, love, and harmony in the Farming4 clans.
(Come visit us - after our lockdown is over, of course!)

And FYI, I don't even know what ad nauseum means...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0VzZg_NuHw (watch that) archers in the castel and 6 pekkas attack and not even 1%
you idiot this is the rank of how good defensiveness are for CC

1. archers
2.dragons
4.wizards
3.pekka.
4.barbaian king
5. barbarians
6.giants
7.ballons
8.healers
9.gobins

gobs inflict more damage than archers and are speedy meaning archers have to delay more to attack.... Also dragons arent that good at defence .... Are you kidding me?? Pekkas suck at defence and balloons are pro with good cover....also barbs are kinda epic at def...

[Choom]

People don't like goblins when they're defending for a lot of reasons...one is because archers can pew pew pew arrows at flying units, and flying units go ow, ow, ow! Goblins can try pew pew pew'ing their bags at flying units, and flying units will laugh and kill the goblins before they get to their second pew .

[jamesgarfield1022]

Here is the actual list of best troops for defense:
1. Barbarians
2. Goblins
3. Archers
4. Wizards
5. Balloons

These are the best, all others suck for defense.

[AngrehBard]

I would rather have 25 wall breakers defending my base than a PEKKA tbh; 25 goblins than 6 wizards.

CC troops often only act as distractions/tanks to buy time for your defenses. Enemy troops focus fire on each target one after another. Thus, vs. a group of 20 archers, a giant lasts as long as a goblin. Therefore, the higher the number of individual troop you have in CC, the better it is for defense, ie tier 1 units are the best. Not sure why, you guys are making a list based on overall DPS.

I was trying to explain that in the thread, but I had a hard time doing so lol.

I had once a cc full of lvl 6 balloons, they destroyed 25 lvl 5 giants like nothign though got shot down in the process by archers.
