That is why you need to use strategy. All cards are practically useless and can easily be countered on their own, but when you deploy a combination of cards effectively, it can be devastating. Take the P.E.K.K.A for example. It has massive DPS with massive health, yet one inferno tower, one skeleton army, and you will have waster 7 elixir. But if you use a bomber or skeleton army to counter the inferno tower/skeleton army, you are pretty much unstoppable. Same goes for the goblin barrel. You need to use it alongside other cards to fully maximise its abilities, suprise the enemy and force him to use arrows so he cannot counter your swarm. take out the goblin huts at the back, distract the tower so your other troops can close the distance. It may not be the card that's bad, but how you use it that is.
