What about a new trap, 1x1 in size that is a lightning rod?
It would spring up like a tesla if lightning is going to hit within say 3 squares, and any lightning in it's small area would hit it instead of the original target.
put it next to your de storage to stop people lightning it. Or in clanwars put it next to an airdef so it can't be lightninged out of action ... Up to the attacker to guess which airdef it is protecting. Or put it where cc troops are most likely to be lured to and lightninged.
This would ruin the lightning spell. Everyone would just stop using them if there was a chance that dropping one would be a complete waste because of this "trap". If you want to protect your DE storage upgrade it. The bigger it is the more hit points it has and the less effect a lightning spell will have on it. The hit point values on air defenses are already so high that it takes 3 lightning spells to destroy one level 3 and at that point most people have at least two air defenses so there is no way to completely wipe out all air defense with lightning. (unless you put the, side by side)
