Here is an idea...STOP THROTTLING THE HOG RIDERS!!

[dbolg22]

Hogs are one of the go to strategy at th9 (goho,holo,etc). A key part of those strategies is getting to and killing the archer queen.

If heroes were lurable not only would hogs again be overpowered but laloon would be ridiculous.

Personally I like the balance with hogs right now, strong enough to three star max th9, weak enough they take skill to use.

I don't know about hogs at th10 but I expect there use is much more limited.

I definitely agree, hogs are at a perfect balance right now as a support troop, and im glad it takes more skill to use them now than before they were nerfed. The OP should just learn to use them as a back end troop rather than a first out of the gate troop. Plus use them in combos and not just an army comp of them. You will have a better time!

i noticed this amd well ican say i really agree aswel as gowipe and morerecntly b4 gollem was released useing hogs was very common and with giant bombs hogs keep on getting downgraded

hogs have had health taken off them three times

multi target infernos release incinerate them

giant bomb 1.5 damage

heal spell efect time shortened

In fact, why don't you stop throttling certain troops all together. You have increased the strength of the archer towers and cannon's, you have changed the way hero's work, you have added the skeleton coffin's... yet the troops AI has remained unchanged since you changed the way the bombers move or attack. The Hero Queen will attack a wall over attacking something that is attacking her.

I've been playing this game for 2 and a half years, I have unfortunately spent money for gems and yet I'm finding that there is no reason or purpose to improve your troops beyond a certain level because the defenses have improved and troop strength has not, in fact you have decreased the troop strength and it seems the hogs get worse with every update and they are practically an unusable troop now.

Stop throttling the troop strength back in order to force a gem purchase to get your resources through that means.

who uses hog riders anyway now we have level 7 giants and new and improved jump spell?, hog riders used to target any building, that was pointless cos they were designed to go behind walls and attack but they never did they just attacked around the outsides, they were usually dead by the time the started jumping walls.

they changed the targets to defences and hogs were like gods they could outrun clan castle troops and heroes and take out defences quick while dragging the heroes across the town, and they had decent damage and health. they were so overpowered that everyone used them in like 20 25 numbers and minions to clean up, it was anarchy.

so they balanced them, and now players who were really not that good at the game started complaining that they couldnt raid with hogs cos they were weakened, they are not weakened, its just not easy any more so you need to man up and find a new troop combination that works.

Why is every update a hog nerf? Quick question, are you still spamming hogs? Or have you tried to adapt and use hogs as a support unit?



Troops do in fact get buffs and the defense buffs are to balance them out. Every new level or feature needs a balance to it. Supercell does an amazing job with balancing, although yes they can miss the mark on occassions but it is corrected along with the next update. Constantly growing/changing games require you to adapt with each new update.

OMG I'm not the only one who's tried the hog/valk/wiz combo?


I do sort of see the point with hogs in particular here though...the original hero/giant bomb changes were enough of a problem, and dealt with hog spamming being OP fairly effectively....and then we got level 8 teslas, level 13 archer towers and cannons, and skeleton traps, and while barbs, archers, PEKKA and Giants all got another level, hogs just became less and less useful. Yes, they're still good for support...if you're attacking TH9s. All things considered though, it's probably time for level 6 at TH10.
