Deck themes seem to mean little to nothing now, I'm around 6500 trophies and started my new account and only play golem. I've been playing since early 2017 and saw my fare share of metals and how cancerous they could be, but now a days I see a lot of just spam rage now, double win conditions. As a golem player, I've always tried to play for positive elixir trades, but it seems you really can't. There is an imbalance between cards with high elixir being out classed by lower elixir card. How can you truly stop a hog rider and giant push opo lanes. Small troops get raged and die, and fireball gives hog a hit even with prime mini peka placement. I've always used to trade tower hp for elixir and set up a good counter push, but they just push the other tower with goblin gang rage, and if the log is out of cycle, you're done, and if you place a troop get ready for a negative elixir trade. I understand buildings or adding more spells would help, but it was such a great time that we were in when positioning and predicting were better than just spamming 4,3, and 2 cost elixir card. Is anyone else having the same realization?
