We can agree that we are not some players coming here just to complain and then disappear.  
And so yeah, I care about the overall balance of the game.  
But without support, who is going to follow my ideas? You know how it works here: to be listened you need 50 players whining with you.

That’s why I used these topics to let know my ideas about some reasonable nerfs.  
I could open a “nerf troop” topics but we both know that 50 players will come saying that X troop is not a problem in defense so “don’t touch it”.

And also because it’s more evident that a troop is too much powerful when you loose against him than when you use it.

> Why then is it only defend troops are complained about on here? Because the complainers want an easier game

Not agree. They complain because the troops became an issue for them, that doesn’t mean that the troop was balanced before they complained.  
Example: Bone Dragon. Complains started in October 2016 whereas the troop was unchanged since January 2016. Why? Because everyone was focus on Maw and as soon as Maw players began to put BD everywhere. So light on on BD and you know how it finished…

Okay so you were talking about the nerfs that I proposed and not nerfs in general. Understood.  
So do you have in mind of troop that you feel should be nerfed?

Be shocked 🙂 .

> Devs never declare anything about Bone Dragon being broken or not… And he still doesn’t scale with Magic… Only the Armor that he gains… Nice try ;-). Again you should use it. 10 times, 100 times at least. You will discover that sometimes he misfires (even against 30+ Armor, believe or not). And when it happens you can say bye bye to one or two of your troops. And what happens when there is no enemy with Armor? You don’t use it. What’s the goal of this video with only one fight? Do the same w…

Like this topic:

You can see how few players are interested… And no reply from the devs who seems to act only to avoid riot.  
That’s why I didn’t post in this topic.

You and i have very different ideas on what are reasonable nerfs

Im not sure i understand what you are saying. Could you clarify please?

> [@turintuor](#):

I already said i felt BD needed a nerf… Although i dont like the nerf he got… Oh well, c’est la vie…

> [@turintuor](#):

> So do you have in mind of troop that you feel should be nerfed

No.

> [@turintuor](#):
>

Agreed… Which is why i dont beat my head against the wall calling for buffs. I trust the devs to buff troops on an “as needed” basis. I am very happy with how they updated orcs for example

When you loose because of one troop, you will ask why this troop make you loose and so on, if the troop is overpowered or not.  
But when you used the same overpowered troop in invade, it will less usual to ask yourself this kind of question.

When Mana Shield is buffed to prevent mana drain, TDS will s\*\*\* all over Psion. It will be such an easy counter with an incredible popular team that I don’t think Psion will be much of a problem.

I can still see him being annoying in GW b/c those lucky skull drops are obnoxious, but with the upcoming changes to defensive bonuses I assume you’ll see any given team a lot less. At the very least, there should now be 6 “meta” teams, which will feel a lot more diverse.

Do we have news about that?  
Because everyone acts like it’s going to be added where I think that devs only suggest to add it…

What broken isn’t Psion but the AI in Unity.
