    They may be braindead, but at least the more skilled options are still perfectly viable, unlike CR

    1 points Knight618

    Cr is doing terrible shit, but arguably the only decks that are viable are high skill. Granted mid ladder vs top ladder are two completely different games, but if anyone tries to use MK, b. Bandit, etc it's just a free win. Heroic knight makes these defenses wayy too easy now, and if I had heroic musketeer, same story

    Heroics make defense that much easier, so decks that use cards that go directly on tower are better bc all the other ones are weaker.

    I play drill btw, MK theoretically hard counters me

    waiter waiter another tank troop that is way too OP on release that we dont hypernerf to a decent level so we just overcompensate by not giving it another level for 2 town halls please!!!!

    Etitan, RR, and now Meteor golems lol. Cant wait for town hall 20's god tank troop with 50k hp with a 90% comp usage rate that gets no noticeable nerfs.

    all seriousness though i feel at least meteor golems are slightly weaker then RR's were at their prime. That being said, i hope RR's never become a meta again because that was terrible.

    The last thing we need right now is nerfing anything at all. the game is too difficult in legends at th18 right now.

    If anything we need the opposite. Bring other troops to the same level or near the same level as Meteor Golems.

    Tbh the only annoyance I have is that the revenge tower kinda forces you to attack on its side first because id you let it build up your screwed. That said sk a lot of it for me really is that im a hydra runner. Dragons and loons not having a new lvl hurts me just a tad. Personally glad they waited on drags this time I think having dragon riders first is really nice

    parent root
    15 points REVENGE966

    It is supposed to be difficult yes, but right now I'd say it's a little too much.

    Even with Meteor Golems, pro players are averaging 270-280 trophies from attacks from what I've heard, but honestly I don't mind the difficulty. I just want potentially an attack time increase because time fails are way too common in legends rn and more troops to be on the same level as meteor golems because everyone is building bases around them right now.

    edit: also I think they should make the poison spell work on Guardians or at least make headhunters target them.

    To be honest, there isn't just one comp that is viable or meta in TH18 and legends. You need to adjust or change the comp depending on the base. It's just that people don't try out new comps or just follow youtube videos is all

    parent
    9 points RoastBake

    Well you don't see the base before you attack so that's why everyone ends up using the same general meta strategy, it's just the best on average. Maybe if Supercell implemented a way to change your army there would be more variety in attacks.

    You mentioned legends in your comment, hence my response.

    Ranked is also the only legit competitive space in the game. Army comp doesn't matter nearly as much in CWL and CW where there are no modifiers. Once you're a good attacker almost any strat can work on any base, it's not the same for ranked which is why you see a meta strategy.

    Meteor Golems might be good but aren't the only possible viable strategy at TH18

    there are a lot of options for good attacks at TH18 - super bowlers, super yetis, dragon / dragon riders (atleast in normal attacks).......

    the problem is that people just lookup youtube videos and copy what a famous youtube like itzu is telling them rather than trying attacks on their own

    if people actually tried to run attacks their own way they'd discover that there are a lot of viable strategies that consistently three star at th18

    0 points None-the-Second

    iTzu definitely plays on Legend modifier. And so is a lot of players in here and his viewers. The building damage buff limits the already limited pool of viable army in the mode, as well as bs base design because Longshot can deal splash from across the base combined with damage buff of Legend mode is genius design somehow.

    It's the problem with hard mode before, when okay-ish to decent attacks fall off in hard mode and OP attacks became the only viable options, it's the same story of RR last 2 THs. SBowler cannot handle the damage buff of higher TH splash, SYeti doesn't deal enough damage, SWitch Big Boy got a housing space nerf, and so on, resulted in only a very few strategies being viable, Totem spell being not that broken as it's one of the few good counters for the broken Longshot.

    parent
    11 points duskfinger67

    If a troop becomes so meta that everyone is using it, then it helps everyone as much as it helps you, which creates trophy inflation in each league, making it no easier to get promoted.

    This is what we had in the old legends, where players struggled to earn even a single trophy per day.

    Getting a perfect league tournament needs to have a significant skill component to it, otherwise promotions become harder, not easier.

    1 points Salt-3300X3D-Pro_Max

    Going to legends is hard enough already. There shouldn’t be th16 and th17 in the top leage. And in lower th levels they cant be used anyway so whats the problem?

    parent root
    2 points duskfinger67

    The problem is that an overpowered troop makes it just as easy for everyone to 3* as it does for you to 3*, which means that there is no meaningfully differencieation between players anymore.

    That makes it harder, not easier to be promoted to legends.

    parent root
    0 points Salt-3300X3D-Pro_Max

    Well i disagree with you because supercell gave us an option with the highest leages to make the game harder. There are statistics that show whats the average % of destruction is and its far from consistent 3 stars for casuals. As long as only ~60% of attacks are 3 stars the rate only gets worse once you climb the leagues. So yeah people who understand how the attacks work and got high level troops + equipment can definitely casually 3 stars th18 but i guess thats exactly what’s intended by SC
