[@micker9830]

Right at CWL, when no one has time to figure out a new attack. Well I guess it affects both sides, but it's frustrating. Especially now that we've been conditioned that a 2 star, is a fail. Lot of people going to get frustrated, but there are still the pros lol. No idea how you have pro tablet game players, ridiculous.

[@alekin8449]

Thats all due to pro players that the vast majority of the players are not enjoying the game, from their naggs about the RRs, let them know that we don't have time to strategize our attacks we work full day and open CoC for 20mins max per day. Supercell gotta find a balance seriously, get a special mode for pro players and their special wars rules, don't kill the game for the sake of pro players

[@Gentle.Breezes.Studio]

The game is made for any kind of players, and it was dead because of the RR.

[@RichardDavis-h2y]

It's absolutely ridiculous Nerf for the third time

[@vhm0814]

No they are not. The issue comes from its mechanism, not its stats. Unlike miner or hog rider that can bypass the wall but still left the wall standing, RR destroys the wall with one touch and drag all the army behind them.

[@wews2047]

Introducing a wall trap for root rider can also fix the issue

[@nickhayden860]

Boring af, seriously considering quitting after 10 years

[@GreatSeraphim]

Supercell COC is confirmed to be a pay to win game. With the 3rd Rootrider nerfed, you need to max out your hero equipment level to get 3 star. If Bash who is a skilled attacker got 1 star, what chance do casual players have?

[@hossein.9219]

Lets be honost They are still fucking good with valks and 2 overgroths The only way they can nerf thins is to change the housing to 25 or 30 and they ahould revert this last nerd they will be balanced

[@miguelpalmaramires370]

right when cwl hits is mad. i just upgraded all my accounts for rootroder armys

[@sterilemoose4]

This is my complaint. They needed to be nerfed. But doing it during CWL is crazy. Now i gotta adjust during the war league that we all work to be good in!

[@nickhayden860]

Proper asshole move

[@SoldierXK]

Bash have you tried fox on the KING and phoenix on RC? Also which CC fits the most with this attack, the super hogs or valks what do you think?

[@WeirdBoy10]

Root riders are SUPPOSED to be super strong!

[@Tony_653]

They are? For only 20 housing space you get a troop that can break through walls and has almost as much HP as a golem. The nerf was deserved, but even after the nerf they are incredibly strong.

[@Jorden.Stout81]

A ground troop that makes walls mean nothing lol and the housing is broken for what they are they are a mix of so many troops it’s a dumb troop that people who can’t attack use

[@gtvx03]

Brother that might be the dumbest thing I read all week.

[@bradfoster5744]

As long as they open up walls and tanking for the valks and heroes to go in, they are doing their job.

[@abhishekpal281]

It is broken.. that 1 star was the result... try 2 remember when did u 1 star a base with root rider.. u cant coz u never did.. they killed root rider.. lower th players wont know how good root rider were

[@aidenwrath1402]

It’s one thing to very severely nerf a troop (when it’s not even the main issue lmao), but it’s another to do it DURING CWL. I’ve lost faith in SC’s ability to balance the game with TH16, but this was the epitome of it lmao

[@ramondewilde05]

I feel like more valks and less roots might be the way like 8 roots and 10 more valks or smt

[@Lucasifii]

Correct

[@Lando_Calzonian_MK8]

Most players at th16 are in around masters 3. 3 star Percentage for them is like 40% at the highest, which is obviously not a lot of 3 stars. So it’s clear Supercell only nerfed the root riders because they were too popular in the pro scene which is like less than 0.1% of the player base. And if you are a normal person with a standard social life and a job, you’ll be playing coc like at most 1 hour per day. People who play that much really don’t have time to practice a new strategy as cwl is starting. TLDR: Basically for the average player Root Riders were a normal, correctly-powered strategy, but because pros were using them really successfully, root riders got heavily nerfed for EVERYONE Dumb ass nerf

[@generalponcho808]

Didn’t even get to use them yet! Stuck at th13

[@exriq4409]

right. I was looking forward to using them in 2 years

[@PIutoniumOreo]

Day 188 of asking bash to get a pet frog

[@user-g7r9t]

As a TH11 using QC Hog Miners in fake Legends, it’s like attacking TH11 when attacking TH12. Before the nerfs, I usually got 80-90% when attacking TH12s. But now, I almost always 3-star TH12s.

[@messierbest6850]

Honestly, as long as they go through walls like they do they will always be a usable troop no matter how much they get nerfed

[@0LLy796]

Lets be honest, if supercell cared about balancing them, they would've restored their hp stats after nerfing their DPS

[@GosuCuber]

Currently, I am still getting triples with the rr. Better funneling and the triples will come. Modify comps to each base. If you’re not doing that then you will probably not triple.

[@TheGothicHangman]

Have used Roots with Valks, and still do on my 2nd account. Though I prefer Roots with Bowlers on my main account. The 3 Overgrowth Spells do make the difference and found that to be true.

[@badren9153]

Root spam is so free you have to be pretty bad to lose with em

[@AkashKhatri-ms2cc]

There will b a time they will ban rr from game...there is no point in introducing rr in game if they keep killing it

[@masonkline2644]

it's not the root riders it's the hero equipment

[@JC-ye1gu]

Nahh before nerfs u could swag like 3 hero abilities if u were a solid player and now u have to depend on ur hero’s to be able to clear the bases.

[@JC-ye1gu]

But certain bases do get recked my them if u don’t update ur bases

[@Bstingnl]

My bases got 3-starred in CWL with root riders, so I copied their army and 3 starred them back. The trick is to take only 8 or 9 root riders, bring 2 witches and like 12 valks. Take 2 heals and more freezes, maybe 1 rage but only 1 or 2 overgrowths. The root riders need more damage help and the heals to stay up longer and act as tanks. But the valks have become the punch in this army.

[@ulasekici9609]

I think legend league's attack preview should be longer in 30 seconds I can't strategize properly to get consistent 3 stars because of the nerf

[@JustAnOldGuyGaming]

I just did my RR attack and scrapped a 3, crazy nerf tbh, maybe people should be more creative on base building instead of moaning that troops are too strong

[@JustAnOldGuyGaming]

i don’t understand why you would use the gauntlet with vampstache over spiky ball? does anyone have a reasoning for this. feel like gauntlet loses a lot of it pros without rage vial esp when king rips it around outside of base
