THIS LAVALOON DECK *CANNOT* BE NERFED!

[@vcb707]

It’s actually the first time I hear you are appreciating your supporters. thank you

[@lucabisa8499]

@innvader Ok i want to preface this message saying that I have finished top 500 with lava. It is not right to say that the lava deck in the video will remain one of the best lava options. Im sure youve seen edrag completely cook a lavaloon push. I think it certain that lava miner or lava triple spell will become better than lava loon. making lava pushes with multiple units will become a death sentence against edrag. I think lava miner decks will become strong, maybe even using the fireball and arrows to counter edrag instead of void. I think valk and edrag will be the best evo combination in lava decks next season.

[@Innvader]

You are overreacting

The LavaLoon (Lava Hound + Balloon) deck in Clash Royale has been a popular archetype for a long time, but it can be considered "bad" in certain scenarios or by some players for several reasons: 1. High Elixir Cost: - LavaLoon is an expensive combination (Lava Hound: 7 Elixir, Balloon: 5 Elixir), leaving you vulnerable to quick counter-pushes if you overcommit. - If your opponent successfully defends your push, they can often punish you with a strong counter-push, especially if you don't have enough Elixir to defend. 2. Weak to Fast Decks: - LavaLoon can struggle against fast cycle decks (like Hog Cycle or Miner Poison), as they can quickly chip away at your towers while you’re building up your slow, heavy push. - It's difficult to keep up with the tempo of these decks, and they can apply pressure before you even have enough Elixir to launch a proper LavaLoon push. 3. Anti-Air Counters: - Many common cards effectively counter LavaLoon. For example, Inferno Tower, Tesla, Minions, Electro Dragon, Mega Minion, and Musketeer are excellent at shutting down air pushes. - Swarm cards like Bats or Minion Horde, paired with spells like Zap or Arrows, can also neutralize the Balloon quickly. - Tornado and spells like Rocket or Fireball can also destroy your Balloon or severely weaken your push. 4. Slow Push: - Lava Hound moves slowly, giving the opponent ample time to build up an effective defense. By the time your Lava Hound reaches the tower, your opponent will likely have cycled to their defensive cards or counter-push options. - This makes it easy to telegraph your strategy and allows skilled opponents to pre-plan their defense. 5. Limited Ground Defense: - LavaLoon decks often lack strong ground defense, as they’re more focused on air units. Ground pushes, especially with tanks like Golem, P.E.K.K.A., or even fast swarm units like Elite Barbarians, can be difficult to stop if your deck doesn't have a solid ground-based defensive unit. - If you use cards like Tombstone or Guards for ground defense, they can often be insufficient to hold back larger pushes. 6. Spell Dependency: - LavaLoon often relies on spells like Lightning, Fireball, or Zap to remove air defense units. If your opponent has cards that spread out their defenses, like an Electro Dragon and Musketeer, it can become challenging to remove them all efficiently. - Your Balloon may also get distracted by defensive buildings like Cannon or Tesla, further weakening the effectiveness of your push if you don't have a proper spell rotation. 7. One-Dimensional Strategy: - The LavaLoon combo is predictable. Once your opponent realizes you're playing LavaLoon, they can adjust their playstyle to counter it. - Players with a versatile deck can cycle back to their air defense multiple times or apply opposite lane pressure, making it harder for LavaLoon to work. When Is LavaLoon Effective? LavaLoon is still viable under certain conditions, such as: - Lower Ladder or Tournaments: In lower arenas, opponents might not have proper counters or experience defending against it. - Surprise Factor: In competitive play, surprising your opponent with a LavaLoon deck can still lead to success if they’re not prepared for it. In summary, the LavaLoon deck is not necessarily "bad," but it can be weak or situationally ineffective depending on your opponent’s deck, your ability to handle pressure, and the balance between air and ground defense in the meta.

Nerfing void is a plainly stupid decision. Its entire purpose is to delete single troop. Even a 3 elixir skarmy counters pekka, prince and other stuff doesn't mean you'll need to nerf it to obvilion.

[@jesse8863]

Brother, with all due respect that argument is generic and can be made for any card. Void has single handedly wrecked ALL glass cannons for months. These cards have been balanced to barely survive a fireball or barely die to one. Void exploits this by doing better for cheaper. But I’ll give you this, -32% might be a lot. But unless you rely on void, you’ll be okay. Start at 2:39 if clarification is needed. PS skarmy isn’t a spell. It also can’t be placed literally anywhere in the arena to get value. Apples and oranges.

[@JamesG761]

Stop being biased, best spell the game has ever seen, well deserved nerf

[@name22329y]

Terrible take

[@2011willbemyyear]

As a lava player I obviously dont want the void to be nerfed either but it has been the best spell for months 💀 It does need a nerf it always gets way too much value and u always need to spend extra elixir sometimes to defend the card someone is voiding Its a well deserved nerf bro

[@debsijb5710]

Void is absolutely broken, the amount of damage it does to single target units and not only glass canons but also tanks is insane

I fking love you so much, I was looking for the precious opinion of the void nerf from you. Good luck in college. I’m in the first year of high school now. Also I have saved up 250000 ewc and I want your opinion on should I upgrade the lavaloon cards. All my cards are lv14 or above, and the key cards like lava, loon, void, skele drags and arrows are level 15, should I also upgrade valk, evo zap, and those variations? I think lava lightening will be a good video idea after the evo edrag comes live 15:44 I’m still here
