[Poll] The Lightning Spell Problem Needs to be Addressed

[CaptainSport]

Any idea that specifically targets one troop/spell is a bad idea.
Think about it. It would make the lightning spell utterly USELESS. You can't lightning CC troops, air defense, mortars, without praying that a stupid tesla isn't there to stop it.
I don't get it. I would rather choose to get zapped and lose like 1000 DE than get my whole storage wiped out and lose 3000 DE.

[DARWINIANS]

I've NEVER been DE Zapped by any players even though I nearly had my Storage full (to get my Barb King). My Town Hall's always outside and that's the main target for every player that target me. I don't care losing DE but losing 3k or more would be a problem to me. Right now, I have my Barb King. Saving up Elixir to upgrade my Storage to level 2. My current amount of DE is 4k+ and I have never been zapped by anyone. ANYONE!

Like your title said, "Lightning Spell problem needs to be addressed," hundreds of people have requested this to stop DE Zapping but out of all the requests, NONE were accepted by SC. Continuing this "problem" (which isn't even one) will simply encourage more players to try to stop the DE Zapping problem. Do their best to comment on more experienced players' opinions to try to convince them to agree with them.

DE Zapping is part of the game. The only way to stop it is to move to a higher league (preferably Crystal Leagues or higher) and meet serious players who try to do their best 3-starring your base rather than zapping your DE. Buy a shield if you can't move to a higher one.

My DE don't get zapped cause i ain't got any. :P but i foresee zappers. i would either get a free shield or make them lose trophies. I prefer the shield.

Just move up to crystal. It's part of the game.

Yes . . . stop lightning from taking my DE. That way I can drop down into gold and silver and I will only need cheap lvl6-7 tier one troops to stomp the $%&# out of all the lowbies. With zapping gone the will never be able to revenge me!!! It will be awesome . . .

Zapping is good for the game. It provides balance. Move up into C2 or higher and zapping is almost non-existent. You just get steamrolled for ALL of your resources instead. See how much better that is? No? Then be happy that ZAPPING DE IS THE ONLY DOWNSIDE TO FARMING!!! Nobody should be safe. That is why zapping is important. It is the only reason you might hesitate to play below your natural strength.

Hurray!!! Another zapping poll!!! I think I'll go start a poll asking who thinks this poll will turn out different than the last 20.

Supercell have already adressed this complaint - nerfing the efferct of the lightning bolt on DE storage, and they are not looking to revisit this - therefore this is a complaint that has no validity.

And here is the thread:
http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...e-is-a-problem

This is not a problem:

This idea would punish lower town halls 7 & 8 that will have difficulty revenging THs 9 and 10

It would also mean town hall 8's can't worthwhile spend their excessive ammounts of elixir for something else.

Oh and it would make lightning bolts useless for other attacks, say i want to legitimately destroy mortars with my lightning bolts oh but hey I can't because there are frackin teslas next to them etc etc. Your trying to fix a problem that isn't a problem and create a whole host of other problems whilst doing so.

It does not need to be fixed in any way.

im sure most of you guys not complaining about this have gotten attacked by people with spells 10 or so times in a row right? and not given a shield? This is the problem even with outside th's people dont give free shields and it leaves your DE vulnerable to another lightning barrage. I suggest they add a lightning rod to the top of the DE storage that can absorb 1 lightning spell at lv1 and add 1 for every level max lv is 3 so it can absorb 3 lightning spells max this will keep lowbies from lightning spelling and the lightning rod will break after the abuse and have to be repaired with dark elixir or whatever material is used to build and upgrade it. dark elixir would be nice in my opinion this way you spend dark elixir to protect your dark elixir. ^_^ if you guys have any feedback please reply that'll be great also i know lightning rod is ruled out as a trap but this isn't a trap ^_^

What you're describing isn't a PROBLEM, it's a CHOICE you are making. You want to sit low in trophies so you can loot easy bases with cheap armies, but you don't like the downside that comes with it. Oh well. You don't get to have it both ways.

So I suggest going with the far simpler solution which requires Supercell to do nothing, and that's trophy up enough so those lowbies aren't coming across your base and your town hall will actually get sniped pretty quickly because a lot more people are hunting trophies, and it's actually worth it to snipe for the bonus. 1900 should be enough. I can guarantee you'll never get lightninged by more than one attacker without getting a shield.

This happens because players in silver league and lower don't want or care for trophies. Any snipe raises them beyond their target trophy range. Dropping lightning quick and surrending helps them maintain this perfered range. The league bonus gives them absolutely no incentive to secure a victory. So if you'd stop slumming it so low you could solve YOUR OWN PROBLEM.

I understand that im just saying that this is a thing that happens very frequently to most players. I was the same so i pushed up to crystal 2 on my way to masters once you get to crystal there are no more lightning gods. But there are spartan armies that demolish your base very easily if you have low lv defences.
