Come on Supercell its been ages now that this failed unit has been gathering dust. Thankfully I didn't waste any gems on getting mine but I did use a lot of resources to get it to lv2 as quick as possible. And its pointless. Pretty telling that in approximately 20 wars we've done since it came out, I've seen enemy clans use them twice against us, once in attack and once in cc. Three guys in our clan (me included) tried them out for a few attacks and gave up. For 30 spaces they just don't do enough to justify their role. They're supposed to be a golem of the sky, but in a gowipe attack the golems go in first and almost always they are the last thing to fall at the end. By contrast a lava hound does well if it lasts ten seconds.
If it was 20 spaces instead of 30 it would be useful. Or if air defence did reduced damage on it. Even just nerfing its suicidal speed to match a little closer to the ballon/drag behind it would help. But as it is, it adds nothing that other units don't do better for less cost/build time.
Oh, and if anyone wants to reply with "I use them all the time and they're awesome and get me extra stars", please post some videos showing a lava hound make a positive difference to an attack, because I've not seen one yet. I'm not saying they have no use, I'm saying there are better options for the space they need.
