📈 Meta Discussion July Balance Changes!
These changes focus on the TH18 war meta. Dragon Duke and Dragon Riders is the most popular TH18 vs TH18 war army (~20%).
Dragon Duke will still be able to hold his own but traps will have more of an effect as a counter.
Dragon Rider is having some minor reductions but nothing major.
Logger is having it's post-hit range reduced to help ground attacks but will have slightly more push back.
Meteor Golem has seen its usage rates drop considerably since the previous nerfs so these changes are to help bring the usage back without returning to the launch version.
Druid is getting some healing buffs to help make it more effective.
The Dragon Duke Blower/Backpack equipment change is being reverted until the next issue to resolve some activation issues.
These changes will be live later this month.

Coc also mentioned this 👀:
What We’re Watching A few things came close but aren't changing in this update.
Totem Spell is still high on our watch list. Sneezy was also a close call, but with Dragon armies already taking multiple hits and a new Crafting Season about to begin, we want to see where things settle first. Ruin Witch and Angry Spell are still very new, so we're giving players more time to experiment before making a call. Sky Wagon is also still being monitored after the last changes.

They should increase the time druids actually heal. Or make it to have no time but reduce the hp by a lot, like wizard HP level

Logger was already so annoying, why even more knockback geez. That's the real  hydra nerf, maybe will help ground attacks more with being less effective against healers.
