What Killed the Hog Riders!!!

[ricky626]

Whining about SC listen to whiners that whines about hog being op. Whining about whiners that dont want to adapt to hog attacks. Whining when you have to adapt to changes.

See the irony?

People just need to play the game and stop whining

You can cry all dayyyy
But I farm all dayyy
With hogs all the wayyyy
Still powerful I sayyyyy

Hogs are still very viable, just riskier.

But at th10 with infernoes as hard as they were already. With aq with them. hoggies turn bacon.

on this update, I missed what they did to Damage/hp. Did they nerf it this time too? I have only lvl 1 non upgraded hogs right now. Was anything changed with them?

[BoardGuest808888]

No. There's no change in dps/hp. Hogs remain as powerful as ever.

SC, why couldn't you just give TH8 and TH9 the extra level for Explosive Bombs. That would have been enough to help them deal with Hogs. You constantly been nerfing the Hog Riders ever since YOU made them target the defenses. How many more nerfs do they need before they are completely unusable? Whats wrong with them being used the most? What is wrong with that? Hog Riders are everyone's favourite troops, whats wrong with that? What is the need to constantly nerf everyone's favourite troops.

It's about price balance. For TH 10 like you, having a 2.5 m upgrade is cheap joke. For a TH 9, it's completely agreeable.

But for TH 8 ? It's about as much as you need for level 10 archer tower. The only thing more expensive is wizard tower. Not to mention at least couple giant bombs need to be re-armed after every raid, successful or not. That's another 40-80 k gold spent without guarantee the base won't be trampled by any other army. It's a lose-lose condition, even if you win defense, the cost for re-arming giant bombs is still staggering.

anti hog bases are named anti hog for a reason,they should stop hogs.the new big bombs are there to stop level 5 hogs making a joke of anti hog bases.now i pity the fool who places heal spells in anticipation of giant bombs

It's hard for me to take anyone seriously who says hogs were not overpowered and then in the next sentence complains that they can't 3 star anyone now. If you can't get 3 stars without them then they were overpowered. If you can't get 2 stars without them then maybe your not such a good player. From what I've seen they can still be used to 3 star but it takes some skill. The problem with hogs before the update was that skill was optional.
