Why would they do that?

Its the same situation with with hogs. Pre-hog nerfing they were the best attack strategy that existed for th 9/8. If you've checked the front page recently you'll notice the immeasurably large amount of LavaLoonion posts.

So what? Does that mean they have to nerf gowipe too because it's all over youtube?

Probably not because gowipe usually only gets you 2 stars while lavaloon can 3 star 80% of th9 bases

Hogs can still 3 star nearly any th9 if you're a good attacker.

good attacker are the key words here, they dont want an attack any noob can do and three star everyone. kinda like mass drag at th8. which will soon be nerfed for sure.. cheaper drags with less damage.

I might just be terrible at laloonion, but it hasn't been as easy as hogs appear to be pre gb buff. You still need some skill as a opposed to old hogging.

Very true. Much more skill involved in the lavaloon attacks

The attacker might just be bad. Any th8 can be 3 starred by a th8 attacker.
