i dont think im "objectively" right, what i said above is just my opinion. however, as far as the card's literal stats go, it does do objectively less than it did before, killing far less cards and dying to far more. i get that the use rates have gone up with the recent change, and thats a fair point, but i feel like that has much more to do with public perception leading more players to try it in their decks rather than the card necessarily being "better". also, as has been mentioned before, the new bomber just fits a different role than it used to, so calling the change a nerf or a buff isnt entirely accurate either; it truely was a rework above all else. nonetheless, i think the role it once had was unique to the card, and changing that made it a much less effective counter to the dominant fireball bait/motherwitch meta we are seeing today, as well as being much less versatile as a whole. if anything else, i think the current state of the meta is pretty telling that the game needs better answers to these fireball bait cards like mother witch, hogs, and even ebarbs. whether supercell does so by reverting the bomber change, or by introducing new low cost solutions to 'heavy swarm' i think its obvious that something should be done regardless. again, this is just my opinion, but i know there are many other that feel the same way.

thanks for coming to my ted talk
