A huge problem with the game! A must read, this must be stopped!

This thread was designs to display the OPness of Hogs as a troop, not turn into help me my base sucks lol. Too many full of themselves smart asses are commenting here. Can we stick to the topic of why they are or aren't OP.

Ok......

they aren't OP as good base design nullifies a vast amount of Hog users.

I think hogs can be OP if used a certain way.

If you used level 4 hogs against a premature town hall 9, then yes they are "OP". But what about a maxed town hall 9? Let me tell you, if that person has a anti-hog base and pretty much maxed defenses (ex. Wizard towers, mortars), then you will not be able to 3 star that person in a minute and a half like you are implying.

Hogs are only OP if 1) you attack a premature/badly built base that isn't good against hogs 2) if you know how to use them correctly by clearing the clan castle, heroes, and trap testing.

I think many of us would appricate if you stopped generalizing hogriders OP status. There are so many ways you can mess up with them. You cannot 3 star every base you come across with just hogriders and heal spells, I gareentee that.

Now, I'm not sure if your saying this because you need base help against hogs, but so many on the forums including myself would love to help you out if you asked.

This post was made because I just wanted to display my point of view about Hogs and hopefully others would agree with me. This obviously isn't the case so it is a lost cause, I really do appreciate the thought of helping me pal, but my base is fine for the moment. I thought this was an issue that needed addressing anyway.

I understand there are other sides to the arguement, but saying that the base designs are the reason that Hogs should be nerfed is completely invalid. Due to the fact that Hogs are so OP it means I can no longer use normal base designs and have to resort to using Anti-Hog bases which expose other defences such as air defence. The fact that people are arguing they are not overpowered is absolutely insane. They can be used by a total noob if the right level and they can wipe out any townhall 9 or below base, if you don't think that is the case then that is beyond me. This is not the same as when Balloons ect are used, this is because Balloons are not used anywhere near as many times as Hogs are. I find it a normal occurrence to log into the game and see myself 3 starred while using my 'Anti-hog' base I found on the forums.

Of course I understand others view points on the matter, but I stand by my thought that Hogs are completely overpowered, overused and ruining the game.

This is my first post so don't hurt me☺️ However I have a bit of experience, since I am town hall level 8.

I too agree that hogs are quite OP and Supercell should make modifications, but you could try other anti-hog bases and tests them, don't give up that easily! Try lower your trophy amount so it is less likely high level players with maxed hogs would 3-star you and don't store up resources (unless for a big upgrade, like troops, wizard towers, town hall etc.) so that you don't stand out like a beacon to potential hogging-enemies.

I do understand your frustration because hogs are a pain in the butt but try to stay calm. A similar thing befell me a short time ago when people used hordes of dragons to annihilate my base and I, like you, was majorly ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Thanks for that man, that was probably the most down to earth, nice and useful post so far. You probably summed me up all in one post. I honestly agree and that is what I am currently doing.

hogs are a gr8 unit but u have to learn to cope with the attacks.

try the ringus base

[kcjaries78]

Then why are you complaining about always being wiped out with hogs? That's what is implied by your post. I was smashed by 6-7 dragons, doesn't mean they should be downgraded.

[Johcamp]

I stopped reading when the OP started insulting folks so forgive me if I missed something.

99% of the complaints on the forum i just don't get. Are these same hogs not available to you? Can you use them to as they say "do into others as they do into you". If they so ridiculously OP, use them yourself and smash everything you run across. That should make you feel better.

This thread was designs to display the OPness of Hogs as a troop, not turn into help me my base sucks lol. Too many full of themselves smart asses are commenting here. Can we stick to the topic of why they are or aren't OP.

Two things that determine whether or not a a bases is 3 starred or not are
1) the base design
2) the troops / spells used

People attacking have to match their troops to the base design. They have control over whether to next. The only control you have is to change your base to dissuade people from using hogs on your base. If you don't want people's help then thank them politely and move on. The reality is that there are many many posts on here about hogs and you haven't added anything new to the debate as far as I can see.

I'm a TH9. The last time I got attacked by 26 lvl5 hogs they used 4 lvl6 heal and a lvl5 lightening. BK lvl10 and AQ lvl9. Plus other troops. They only had 47% of my base. I 'lost' as I put my TH outside and I'm not a maxed TH9 either.

If you think that hogs are OP then use them yourself to get back the trophies and resources you have lost.

I don't use other people's designs. My last base was effective against hogs - so people started to attack me with balloons. So I changed my base upgraded my defenses and people haven't attacked me with balloons. They have started to use other strategies. Soon I'll have to change my base again.....

Because stopping hogs being OP is done by having a hog ring base. Show us your base, then we can see, and help.

Not a problem with the game, a problem with the user. Adapt or perish.

Hogging is very skilled anyway, still have to lure heros and cc troops. And If you mean dump them and hope for the best not skilled, then what do you use as an army? The most complex is probably GoWiWi or GoWiPe where you put one down, then the next, then the next. Then you hope for the best.

Attacking is 80% strategy, 70% base design, and a hella alotta luck so your PEKKAs don't get distracted by butterflies. (Other troops are available)
