I don't think Golem needs to be buffed because Golem still has an extremely high winrate in both challenges and ladder. Pekka also doesn't hard the Golem as you can actually beat a Pekka matchup with a Golem Night Witch/Witch deck as long as you are able to stack up elixir pumps and gain an elixir advantage early on. I am actually a Pekka user and I have been beaten by good Golem players before. sparkynado can actually counter big Golem pushes pretty well but not much people use Sparkynado right now. Inferno Tower isn't really meta right now and tesla is a lot more popular due to all the swarm going around. Lightning also counters Inferno Tower exceptionally well. Inferno Dragon is a big problem for Golem though as it is a meta card and lightning still isn't too popular right now but it can be distracted easily and destroyed if the Golem has a Witch/Night Witch behind it. Hunter can easily be destroyed if the Golem has support and so can the Guards. Golem itself isn't too deadly and is easily countered by cards for a positive elixir trade and those cards can still be used for a counterpush but by increasing it's health, the Golem will have more time to tank up hits while the support troops behind have more time to kill defending troops and towers. I personally think buffing the Golem's attack damage or attack speed by a little bit is a lot better of an idea.
