    curb mass dragon attacks

    Mass dragon attacks are taking the fun out of clan wars. At Th7 and 8 levels it's common for people to just drop a bunch of dragons and come away with a three star with no effort or skill. My thought is, limit the number of drags that can be dropped on a base depending on the TH level and the air defense they have. Forces people to use a mix of troops and requires coordination and thinking.

    Allow:
    0 drags on th5 and below.
    1 on th6,
    2 on Th7
    4 on th8
    6 on th9
    10 on th10

    Believe it or not, using all dragons is a strategy. Whether you see it as one or not.
    Restricting what armies people can build is not the way to solve this.
    Also, if you're doing this on a TH8, it's very rare to see a 3 star with all-dragons. Unless you're rushed and/or have a bad base. But that would be the players own fault.

    Not Cool

    You can't ask for Supercell to nerf an attack strategy just because you don't like it. That's not how it works.

    Build a better base. I was a th8 getting attack by 8 level 4 dragons and some wizards. He got a lucky two stars. Barely even got the townhall. If your base can't sustain air attacks then what can it sustain? Put all those air defense near the center and no three stars!

    Using a mass dragon attack is something I see a lot of in wars, and it's mostly done by th7-th9. Although it may not require a great strategist to win with drags, it certainly isn't as easy as simply dropping them all and watching. The power of dragons is offset by long training time and expensive cost. Good air defense and trap placement is necessary to stopping any air raid. Try switching yours up if you're having trouble with drags.

    Thumbs up

    Dropping all mass drags in one area will get you maybe 1 star if the base has good AD placement.. There is tactics involved and I've seen great clans use great tactics along with hogs to hit AD.. Without drags what would a th 7 do?? Use giants and healer lol?? Please

    Been on both sides of a dragon raid/attack. Seen them in war, and then done them myself. Believe me, it is expensive, time consuming with one barracks, and an utter disappointment to see fail. It looks easy when you aren't the one doing it and see it overwhelm a base.

    You see bases in a totally different light when using such air units. Walls mean nothing, and Air Defense buildings are the most important thing to worry about. Low level A.D. are still a threat, but the level 4 and 5 ones will tear apart most of your level 1 or level 2 dragon army if you don't take them out fast. Any A.D. that has 3 layers of buildings blocking it inside a base are the hardest to get at with most units, let alone dragons, and need to be zapped by no less than three lightning spells, or taken out with hog riders.

    Hopefully now that you know that dragons aren't some 'win button' unit, and know how to defend against it, the game should be more enjoyable for you. Just keep as many max A.D up, near the center, not too close to be both zapped by lightning spells, and build your base in a way to protect them all...

    ... and you too will be an unattractive target for dragon raids.

    Question Why?!

    Let them do it. It means these higher players aren't concentrated on their matches. Their lower players can't get stars off the big hits and if your clan sticks to your recommended then it's victory. Pointless idea. if anything it favors you in the war
