Hog nerf a game changer?

[Syr1nax]

I think supercell should create a new dark troop called the Fluffy Bunny.

The Fluffy Bunny can jump over walls, travel very fast, target defences, tank reasonably well, survive 2 maxed giant bombs, do a lot of damage, use little camp space, be cheap and quick to build. Do you think the Fluffy Bunny would be overpowered?

Of course it's a game changer and games should change to keep it interesting. Are hogs OP? Yes and no, it's a high risk, high reward troop. Is heal spell OP? Only when used with hogs.

I'm curious as to why people think the changes to AI will destroy BARCH? I'm not a purist so I add wb anyway. Do you mean as a pure trophy strategy? Archers already target walls at inconvenient times ie when under fire. I would rather they changed the AI so that archers would walk along the wall to target something behind the wall but still we will have to wait and see how this works.

Hogs will not be used as much. They were already risky against well built bases. If you can't lure the double giant bombs before the main attack, you cannot take the risk going forward.

Reagarding the the nerf in general...I could care less if some guy comes by and 100% my base. I'm going to 100% ten times as many bases.

This game is about offense. It's the only way you can progress. I don't need any more offense handicaps. It's already a chore to farm loot.

Hogs were powerful...in the right hands. Why not make other troops just as powerful. I want to use balloonian to 100% a max th9. That isn't going to happen no matter the persons skill level. Why? Same for drags. As a th9, I want to use drags (skillfully) to 100% another th9. How often does that work. Never.

This game should promote more opportunities to flatten bases to the ground. This will reward active players because they don't worry about defense or the loot they just lost. They log in and get it all back with one attack...

Weird. I just cannot fathom how people see this as a nerf for barch when it is a buff.


but a buff is actually the last thing barch needs. you shouldnt be able to just progress through this whole game just using the 2 weakest troops.

This will hurt Barchers trophy pushing and collector raiding like most of us. A lot of us do collector raids instead of storage raids and with the new AI, the barbs will get smashed by a mortar leaving our archers defenseless and destroyed before they can get the mine/pump.

Add a couple Wall Breakers to Barch?

Lol. so true

[GodII]

Now that heroes won't be lurable...I can't see how hog users will be able to overcome that.

[Concussions]

Lol. so true

I boost my barracks and would rather not add WBs and waste the time.

surprise surprise.
Hogs aren't nerfed, giant bombs are buffed

As many time as hogs has been nerfed, they still has had an abundance of success. They hog nerf hits harder TH9 and TH10/ higher level players because at TH8 bases are rarely anti-hogged and with only 3 giant bombs, people dont really look into double giant bombs to beat hogs. So as long as your TH8, the "nerf" doesn't really hit hard. These video show it perfectly.

what are you talking about concussions. it will have no effect on collector raids lol. the AI change isnt making the barbs go after walls before other buildings lol. They will behave as normal until all the outside buildings in range are destroy'd and when they would normally attack the walls anyway now they will just do it more efficiently.

It's certainly a clan war changer lol
