To All the people saying giant skeleton is good

Admit it, Giant skeleton is the worst epic card in the game. He's absolutly trash.

1) He is good when used correctly -> EVERY card is good when used correctly. All of the top players are skilled meaning that they use every card correctly. They favor other cards over the giant skeleton because, on the same-usage and same-skill plane, giant skeleton's abilities suck compared to other cards.

2) He is good on defence -> He is used in defence for the death damage. That means no counterpush. And seriously, you can use pekka for a absolutly better defensive solution, just for 1 more elixir. First of all his stupid DPS means that he can do nothing against Giants and Golems. Second, he can do nothing to prevent the building chasers from hitting your princess tower, and Third, yo

3) He is john cena if he reach the tower -> Again, EVERY win condition card is john cena if they reach the tower.  There's a reason why other kill condition cards are favored over giant skeleton. It's because he sucks compared to them.

4) Trash DPS and king of getting aggro'ed. Just kite him with an Ice golem to the opposite lane, he can't do anything. Also He is trash when facing lumberjacks, mini pekkas or knights due to his stupid DPS.

5) He is good when paired with wizard, witch, etc : There is this thing called "Fireball" "Lightning" "Rocket" "Poison" "Knight".

6) Totally worthless to Inferno Tower : The same as a Sparky facing an Ewiz. Even when the inferno is lightninged, you can just aggro the giant skeleton with skeletons or knight and he will die.

7) You are literally using 6 elixir to deal 957 area damage in tourney cap. Rocket deals 1232 area damage for 6 elixir and can be placed anywhere.

8) Completly off-meta : Using him in a meta where tornadoes and pekkas and inferno dragons/towers are everywhere doesn't seem like the smartest thing to do.

9) Bad Cost-to-reward : Basically a high-risk medium-reward card. If you manage to get the death damage to hit the arena tower, you are pretty much using 6 elixir and possibly more to spawn the support troops, and get 50% damage done on the opponent's tower. Think of the Hog Rider who costs 4 elixir and can deal 30% damage just be landing 3 hits on the tower on his own.
