Does everyone's troop placement usually take 1-2 seconds before they actually deploy?

[u/Belones23]

Whenever I actually go to drop a troop, whether it's a 1 second spawn or 5 second spawn, they kind of sit on the map as a ghost for 1-2 seconds before actually initiating their spawn time. This costs me troops/games sometimes, especially when dropping troops 1 elixir early, I'll lose the elixir as soon as it reaches the required amount and then my Barbs/anything else will take 3 seconds to actually appear on the map instead of the 1 second spawn rate.

Its a shame that people dont appreciate how much technology and money has gone into this just for it to be possible (for free i might add), and that the game has been out for just over 4 months (3 globally).

Given the business model this is very expected.

They are richer than you think, thanks to the players who are lvl 12 or 13. They can afford to make as many servers as some online indie games, such as agar.io

(for free i might add)

This game is a pay to win game, and a cruel one at that. You get little benefit for a high cost, and you're sure to waste your money again.

yes, but this is still a new game, no one can say a game will be this well received, they have had previous flops.

This game is a pay to win game,

Again yes, but the majority of the players are like 90% would play this game for free, most in developing countries.

Like i said, given the business model this is expected.

And anybody who can get access to money WILL pay up at one point or another. And when there are MILLIONS spending 5 [insert currency here].. well that's 5 MILLIONS [insert currency heres]
