Why are Heroes not like other troops during upgrade?

[ToddYoung213]

Nope, heroes you must sleep because we are repairing your "throne". -sc logic

Actually if you look at the builders they are repairing their weapons...


BUT to the OP, heroes are different because they are immortal. All the laboratory is doing is giving you a new level of a troop to train in your barracks. The builder is upgrading something that never dies.. Idk tbh I'm done fighting this issue. We all want it, but SC won't fix it. I was going to gem my queen every time I got the DE but I decided against it. The last couple updates (content wise) were lack luster.

Why does the hero get a special ability that you can control?

Why can your own heroes defend the base?

Why don't you have to pay for a new hero after each war?

Why do the heroes have more then 6/7 levels?

Why are heroes bigger than normal troops?

Why do heroes have alters?

Why? Because they're heroes, not troops....

Thanks for your replies.

No I am not new, I was just wondering HOW they are classified, acting like a building, troop and defense all at the same time.

They're classified as HEROES

You people are in so much denial its laughable, you really think Supercell would take that big of a hit if they gave us our heros during war? It would not even dent there profits. People need to do a little something called googling before deciding to comment on posts.

Again, please provide non-speculative numbers as to what percentage of their revenue is derived from Hero upgrades.

Please pay money to speed up the hero upgrade. if not willing to pay money, shut up and stop complaining.

For me and many other clashes who maybe occassionally spend money on gems, but don't want to gem every hero upgrade, it boils down to a decision to either participate in wars or opt out for a week at a time to upgrade those heroes.

After being out of wars for a few weeks I feel my enjoyment for COC diminishing fast and making it worse, my war skills have diminished too. It makes me feel stuck. I want to participate in wars with my clan mates, but then I have to leave my heroes alone (we've all learned how bad an idea it is to go to war without heroes).

This puts me in a place where for the first time I find myself playing COC less than usual. I have to think I'm not alone in that. If that's true, then SC should consider that it could potentially lose a critical volume of players over this issue. I realize that they make money off of people gemming heroes and I fully appreciate that's its a business. I'd argue that people will still gem heroes because they want their heroes upgrade and they want it now. I'd also argue that if the volume of players drops off precipitously that people who buy gems will quickly see no value in doing so anymore.

War has become a centerpiece of COC. SC should be making that experience as enjoyable and prevalent as possible. By not having heroes available during war, they are doing the opposite. I hope they'll change this soon.

Actually instead of the builder hammering their "beds" while upgrading, I would have liked the following:

a) The King drinking DE from a large drum and swinging his sword while the builder acts as his training coach.
b) The queen practicing her archery skills on a target - a level 11 wall obviously - while chugging on DE, which incidentally also explains her wall obsession.

That would simply mean - do not disturb me with your raid requests. I am in the middle of a tough training session.

I would probably use more gems if they allowed us to use our upgrading heroes in war.

I'm in the top 4 players in our clan wars and sometimes need to leave one, if not both, of my war attacks for late in the war to attack strategically. I would have no problem boosting my hero heal time, or healing them completely with gems in order to use them in my war attacks. But as it stands now, if my King or Queen is upgrading I will never use gems to finish the upgrade. In the end, I use no gems on my heroes which does nothing for Supercell.

As it stands, a Lvl 1 defensive building that hasn't even been finished yet is available for defense in war. If that's the case, and heroes are upgraded as buildings are, then I think it makes sense for them to be available as they are being upgraded.
