Dislike new direction troops are deploying

[WOODAH]

The way troops are deploying to attack the nearest building is not to my liking. Troops seem to spread out and make a horizon line. Sure, I do like that they combine to atk the same wall but that's all. I prefer the attack method before the update where the troops attack straight and dead on. I would also prefer bombers to attack the closes wall, not the closes wall to a building.

My reason for this is sometimes storage are in the middle and that's the only place I would like to penerate. I don't want my units scattered out.

agreed. I've lost sniping ops due to the distractions, triggering every tower and then lose all 100 minions. that just flat out stinks.

I agree, kind of pointless to consider this a game when the actions of the troops are so random.

There's an illusion of strategy but in the end it's just an app looking to make you buy gems.

I wish it were different but I can't see any way around it.

Thats why they tweaked jump spells so that they would all come together

This does TH8 and below zero good.

In that case Super Cell should offer jump spell to all TH levels. It's only limited to TH9+

This pathing / targeting difference is quite frustrating to me. So much so, I had to register today, just to chime in.

I'm almost exclusive Loonion attacker. And post-update, I've gone from 90% chance to 3 star select bases, to 50-60% chance to 3 star select bases. These select bases are the same ones I've been targeting for the last 2 months - low Air Def, no archer queen, non-purple wizard towers, etc. Basically things I should easily 3 star before the update, and now sometimes I get 0 stars. All because of how the Balloons are targeting now, compared to how it used to be.

If you're going to change the game, fine. We'll learn new ways, but when you change the way ever single troops paths, and targets, that's a little much. Even minions aren't the same as they were.

For me its that they are attacking random ♥♥♥♥ instead of the logical next target.

A wizard attacking a wall right in front of him instead of the building 2 spaces to the left is dumb, and didnt used to be that way.

Don't forget he's being hit with arrows and mortars while he's attacking that very important wall.

SuperCell should know that adding random attack patterns to troops which already lack any semblance of self-preservation is absurd.

I don't know how to program common sense into these little colored dots we call troops, but something must be possible, it doesn't need to be a "Terminator" level of AI and self-awareness but come on.

Completely agree. I had clump of 6 balloons, with an Air Defense 1 square over, and Archer Tower 3 squares over. Think they'd take down that AD they're right next to? The one with the RAGE spell on it, that I purposely put there because it was their "next" target. Nope, they'd rather go for that Archer Tower instead, even though it's much farther away. Three times farther in fact.
