Is Leach a...ripoff?

It is possible to predict what your opponent may use after you play a lot of games and notice the common build orders most players use. At Armageddon, you can expect most players to send a giant. An even better player will scout your defenses, exploit your weakness, and send based on your weakness. For example, if they see you have a lot of archers but lack good anti-ground, then the better player will most likely send a giant against you (giants are strong against archers).

@jollow250, not always. DPS and performance are very important characteristics for towers. For example, archers do poorly against high-HP mobs or against ground mobs in general -- the TNT tower does better against general ground mobs than the archer but doesn't target air units. Against mobs with regen or if they have regen support, high DPS is even more important than just "any damage."

Okay some damage is stronger than others some damage is different but they are all good because at the end of the day it all comes down to doing damage on the castle

The problem with the leach tower is that while it packs a punch it's not practical to actually use. Kind of like the world's biggest guns irl, they are insanely powerful but they aren't practical because they're huge, extremely inconvenient, expensive, and are simply unusable for any purpose other than to claim you own something of that power. The leach rower is expensive, 5x5, and you can't really control when it unleashes it's shockwave.

It only does good damage
Stop your nonsense
ever heard of the expression all publicity is good publicity
Same goes for damage
All damage is good damage

I mean a lot of damage on the shockwave. Your right all damage is good but not all is worth the price! Im not spending 2000 coins on a tower that does a small mount of damage every 5 seconds!

I think the leach tower should remain as it is. The only thing I hate, I really HATE about the leach tower, is it's shockwave. This is because doesnt matter what troop it is targeting, if it is fully charged, it releases the shockwave on any troops on your base/side. So if it was targeting a zombie and gets charged, it releases a really powerful attack to really crappy troops. It would be great if it only released it's shockwave when there is a high hp troop on your base/side.

Leach Tower is pretty effective against strong targets. If anything with high hitpoints is in range, it charges pretty quickly.
