How would you prefer lava hounds to be nerfed?

[SuperR0ck]

Let see ...

First they "nerfed" the hog.
Them the barch.

Next are:
- Lava Hounds
- Ballonions
- Gowiwi
- Gowipe
- GGBarch again
- Nerf the goblin and wall breaker
- Buff the healer

The only way to get a start is snipping the TH.
Them they decide that troops are two week and creates a new DE troops.

They nerf the NEW DE troop.

And then SC nerfs all defenses but create a walls to level 15.

They should add more health to the lava hounds...

So being able to regularly 2 star TH10s is ok, as long as the attack requires enough "skill" as determined by you guys? Where does it end?

Also, has anyone seriously taken on the task of designing anti-lava bases? I know there are certain types of bases I can't wait to attack based on AD placement and other factors.

Sorry, I meant "re-balanced"

They don't need to be "re-balanced" either

How is Lava hounds being faster a nerf? I'm not going to vote but I don't understand the option.

Most consistent problem I have to make up for (by sending loons first) is hounds outrunning loons by too much a gap especially if AD are buried deep in base and overlapping. Them being faster would not be good. I would prefer they be slower actually.

I don't want them to be nerfed at all.

Another nerf for hogs would be welcome though

Seriously? Another nerf on hogs would just make them a mess. They are just right. Much skill required to 3 star a decent th9, nevermind a max one.

Honestly, Lava Hounds don't need a nerf. Just adapt your base to deal with it, it's not that hard. I'm also very dissapointed that there's no "no nerf" option on the poll, but not entirely surprised. It appears to be a very one-sided thread that completely assumes the OP's opinion is the correct one.

thats all you should expect when the OP is gorzo

My base resists quite well to lava attacks, had several already.

Globally, it's quite a typical anti base. I see lots of people have abandoned anti hogs bases since hogs have been nerfed, but they don't seem to understand anti hog is efficient against any troop specifically targeting defenses, so it works fine against giants and loons as well, including when loons are being used in conjunction with lava hounds.

My air defenses are not in the core, so lava will first target the ad on one site, and then cross through the core to get to the ad on the other side of the base. During this time, they will be targeted by infernos. Loons will simply turn around the base and will never enter the core, while wt and infernos are killing them.

I don't say there is no way to 2* my base using lavaloonions, but it will require quite a good strategy, which most people don't seem to have reviewing my defense log ;-) Just like in the past with hogs, you still can take an anti-hog base with hogs by breaking the circle, but that requires skills !

Actually, I think Lava hound needs a buff

[coachmoneyball]

I thought the popular nerf was to make the change where lava pups dont activate the red bombs. That seems like it would help defense some and still give lavaloonion a chance. Thats what everyone wants right? A fair chance with the strategy.
