These Hounds need a nerf

[daz258]

I really don't understand why so much hate on Lava compositions.. GoWiPe/Wi is also an army with 2 & 3 star potential when used properly.. Why no one ask SC to nerf GoWiPe/Wi but they're always asking to nerf Lavahound??

Lava is a new troops.. Everyone is doing it because they are bored with the old GoWi Army, not because they are that much stronger compared to GoWi...

GoWi can also failed, but with the same argument, It is irrelevant because people can watch youtube on how to do it properly and they will learn it and it becomes a 2 star guarantee attack... With that argument, let's ask SC to nerf GoWi army?

And on 3 staring max TH 10 bases... Believe it or not, more than not the Heroes are the one who makes that much difference... Because the Max Heroes are so OP that they can get 20+% just by themself (or with help from Golem) and kill an AD and CC troops, Lavaloons can 3 star the rest of the base easily. Which isn't that much different from GoWi army.. Max Heroes play a big parts

Maybe you misread my intent.

I'm just saying that in time, more of those currently failing with LavaHounds will have greater success. Thanks to more experiences and more YouTube advisers on them.

At that point, SuperCell will have to decide whether it's having too much success.

Witches & Hogs in the past got to a point of been too good and nerfed. It's entirely possible the newest troop - the Hound may also suffer that fate if the win success rate keeps increasing. While at the same time bases will continue to evolve to combat them better.

I'm still on the fence as to whether they are overpowered or not. I've seen them have great success, but have yet to have that success myself...largely due to my Hounds not yet at max level.

The difference with witches and hogs is that you could spam more less just them and get a 3 star a lot of the time. With hounds its different you have to use them with other troops and even then if you want to 2 star you need a bit of skill and to 3 star you need a lot and a bit of luck.

Did you ever try to hog a maxed base? It was not done by spamming and was not easy ♥♥♥♥.

When hounds were first announced I assumed they wouldn't trigger air bombs, but they do; that may be the only change needed. Just like minions don't trigger air mines, because it's a waste of the mine; so are air bombs on a hound.

It's not a straight up compare to talk about golems. They waste spring traps and GB, but you can position those so golems won't walk on them and position defenses to direct golems. There's no way for a base to funnel hounds, they just make a beeline to the AD.

Hounds die fast enough as it is. They already don't do any damage. All they do is set off traps and buy loons a few extra seconds. But man those seconds are brutal :-)

have they not been nerfed yet in the last update?

i think yes.. and as always... i didn't had them or had the opportunities to try them when they were already over power...

ok, well no, i think they are quite perfect the way they are.. don't get hit by them often, but when they do.. they wreck havoc on my base.. which is ok since they are the last troop from de barrack (they are meant to be powerfull)

If I study youtube videos and research attack strategies all day I can figure out a good two star most likely three star strategy to use in CW. Point is the vast majority of the playerbase doesnt invest the time effort to become "pros" at this. Asking for nerfed based of "pro" level attacks and clans using third party software is stupid. I'm sick of people watching youtube videos and thinking everyone is on par with them.

Herein lies the problem really. These sandboxing programs can turn an average attacker into a god if he is willing to practice against the base as many times as it takes so that the attack turns into a 3*. It's not so much that the troops are overpowered.

Its an an issue that has really casted a cloud over Clan Wars, and any seemingly brilliant attack seen on YouTube. Was this guy just a great strategist (a pro) or did he practice against this base for 8 hours? There is simply no way to tell.

They need a buff not a nerf. They need to cause more damage!!!
