Talk:Goblin Barrel/@comment-37839811-20181217012645

Gob barrel to this day even with bait being much weaker is still a card I use nearly every time at 4000 trophies. It's my favourite card and I can see it makes people real salty.

Bait isn't a zero skill deck, card and elixir counting are essential to have success. Xbow and Mortar are also very hard matchups for bait. People who are salty over bait usually call for massive nerfs that would break the archetype, at the time of writing bait is in a weak state right now.

The card is balanced, Fire Spirits, Barb Barrel, Log, Snowball, and Zap can all do a number against Gob Barrel. Lastly why does everyone say "It deals more damage than a rocket plz nerf!!!11" when rocket is meant to finish games and counter elixir pumps. You also cant log a rocket for a positive elixir trade like you can with the Gob Barrel.
