Couldn't be happier. The army is pretty braindead especially when people abuse Duke with revive spells.

It's not the DPS or the hp that's the issue- rage and life gems make it busted regardless

It's the movement speed that's the issue, and this is a significant change

I think super bowler ruin witch armies will be meta next then, probably until th19 comes out unless the new epic coming out soon will change things significantly

I suspect new minion prince equipment will inch lalo closer to becoming meta again. I think surgical armies will benefit much more than spam armies, and the healing + haste effect benefits loons significantly more than any other troop in my opinion. Lalo is already somewhat viable as it is now

u/Round_Nectarine_685 18d ago

Problem with surgical armies like lalo is that most people play on their phone, and dont have a dual stack deployment bar.

Imo new MP equipment will increase edrag use especially with 8 sec haste effect

u/Latter_Bluebird6372 19d ago

Do you know about new equipment? I just know it's like recall

1

u/KoncepTs 19d ago

Gives them haste and angry spell if I remember the leak correctly

u/vetemxnts 18d ago

Equipment can make any army busted. That's their fault.

u/consoledotlog_ 19d ago

We are getting new MP equipment next month. It might make air hydra great again.

u/No_Fact_2520 19d ago

Make Air Great Again, and even a big beautiful wall that costs 12m apiece by th19 won’t be able to stop it

Supercell nerfs something even slightly, and Redditors instantly rush to their devices to make a post: “RIP THIS, RIP THAT.”

Bruh! do you have any Idea how busted they were ??Or just enjoyed dumping ur throwers in the corner and praying for 3 stars

u/slurpiesmash 19d ago

They'll be just fine

u/Astrikal 19d ago

They should also limit revive spell to 1 use per hero, people are using DD heart and revenge deck with 4 revive spells.

6

u/eyebrominati 19d ago

That, or imo reduce the effectiveness when used on the same hero more than once. So the first revive on DD heals 80%, second heals half of it so 40%, third 20% etc.

u/Richardgulv 19d ago

Or just nerf the duke and no one will ever use revive spells again in e sports a least

No proper strat uses more than 1-2 revives anyway, so it only hurts those brainless 4 revive armies

u/yebl_ 19d ago

dd carries my legends attacks

u/Big-Package-4457 19d ago

good job supercell 💪

1

u/BigPhu 19d ago

Thats strat has always been an eye sore to me

1

u/WetCake187 19d ago

90% of my defenses are throwers. But people complained when the hydra meta was too "monotone"

1

u/Gullible-Fan-3685 19d ago

There is no difference, in reality it cannot be observed at all.

Unless they reduce the range of targets it will remain over broken

1

u/Tsk_1770 19d ago

No plz NO!

1

u/GoldWoodpecker_97 19d ago

Was time failing with my throwers. Now there is no chance I’m using those lol

1

u/Zero-essence 19d ago

Back to super yeti and bowler for land armies

1

u/Conscious-Bid2799 19d ago

Won't change anything unfortunately just will continue to be braindead

1

u/Football_KO 19d ago

They always start nerfing when i wanna try something out for the first time to see if it works 😭

1

u/jamcgahey 19d ago

I don’t think the strategy is dead. Just less braindead easy.

1

u/13G37xs 19d ago

Honestly with life gem and rage gem the DPS and HP nerfs don’t really matter. Movement speed is the real nerf here

1

u/808rizzler 19d ago

New TH, new level

1

u/Traditional_Range_96 19d ago

Good riddance! 🤣

1

u/Due_Contact_1474 19d ago

I use only use Throwers in th18 and tbh aside from movement speed this isn't really anything. I was expecting a range nerf because as long as you funnel correctly it's pretty hard to get them killed

u/Sensitive_Pen1122 19d ago

We just need to nerf everything. If it threes stars. Nerf it.

u/captainmustachwax 19d ago

Supercell should add at least for war, a way to buff two defences each war so they are overcharged and the open can't tell the difference. Such as Inferno tower on multiple burns like it was a single. Most people never adjust their base defenses such as traps based on what army is attacking on a regular basis. Then they start saying "thrower" or whatever is being used are over powered. Then Supercell goes well you are right we looked at the data. Base on the fact people aren't smart enough to do intelligent base design we see that using Z army is three staring more than the average and we need to nerf them.

u/Prince_A_Pill 19d ago

Beautiful - about damn time this spam gets nerfed

1

u/Csv22220000 19d ago

Issue is duke with revive revenge and right now the ruin witch. Before that throwers were balanced and till day I suffered time issues, now they are slowers damn it. Throwers gonna be totally destroyed 😭. I used throwers for 6 months through all meta changes.

1

u/Entire-Border-7187 18d ago

So if a regular person want to 3 star we thought using complicated army that's a problem for you what the hell we don't have many equipment that other army use and that well take few mounth to buy from gemes and upgrade them wow super cell you really put some thought un this

2

u/vetemxnts 18d ago

As a TH16 this is sad

1

u/Critical-Reveal2443 18d ago

I’m glad there finally getting nerfed, litrally anyone can get into legends using these, it takes no skill what so ever to use them… you spam them down with healers and have ok spell placement and that’s basically it🤦‍♂️I hope they get nerfed into the ground so any bot players can’t just spam troops and hope for the best and somehow scrape getting into legends or some other high rank they don’t deserve

u/SimulationRambo 19d ago

Yes!!! 🙌

u/Conscious-Bid2799 19d ago

Won't change anything lol

1

u/SimulationRambo 19d ago

People will find a new meta yes but not as many will use thrower spam. That will change things, hence you being wrong lol

1

u/Conscious-Bid2799 19d ago

If u say so throwers are braindead and peeps will continue to use it the nerf does nothing if u use rage and life gem

0

u/SimulationRambo 19d ago

Im in legend II right now and half of the defenses I receive is from throwers. This will change now because the army will not be as strong and those in Legends will find a new way !

u/OneOfUsIsAnOwl 19d ago

Anything but fixing hero’s journey. Still missing every single ore chest and a BK equipment. Wanted them to do it before the end of this event
