Goblin & shield balancing

[BazJoe]

I think making the goblins target the TH is a mistake, perhaps this could be looked at. It's nothing now to drop some EQ spells to open a hole to the base core (or Wall breakers) and mass spam goblins with a couple meat shields. This strategy crushed the loot storages and TH and often times does less the 30% damage. The defender then has just had the bulk of his loot taken and no shield to show for it. Either rework the shield system to give something for th destruction or for % of attackers army used or lower the threshold to below 30% I am using this strategy claiming decent loot but I also bring a few extra damage troops to at least give my targets a shield, however not all clashers have compassion. Thanks looking forward to a rational discussion.

this whole update was a mistake

I wouldn't go that far. Change some numbers and I'll be happy. I'm TH10, and I just got hit by a TH11 w/ lavaloon for 200k resources. How starving do you have to be to do that? O.o

(an example of the larger issue of loot shortage)

was there a loot bonus? That could be the reason...

Haha I did this a few times mostly because I was in a rush.

No! No one used goblins and finally they useful at high th levels!

Goblins attacking the TH is possibly the best feature of the entire update. It has opened up farming and made goblins way more useful.

One of good things update is making goblins more usable!! For the first time I'm using goblins lol
Milking collectors & trolling other th11s with goblins & minions. Little elixir cost and getting about 2/5 elixir with no shield for defender

Lol why is it every time people say adapt. Then when people find a way to make a useless troop useful its immediately we must change this. Well supercell can fix everything as it starts being exploited and players will just find a new way.

After the update, goblin/giants/wall breakers are my favorite army. It seems to be the most efficient way to accumulate elixir. However, the shield system should be revised. Most of my raids cause less than 30% damage.
