I do this every now and again , although try and use it sparingly , as they usually catch on to what you ' re doing . It ' s a really effective strategy when performed well . My reasoning for doing it is to usually create duallane pressure , as I never actually considered the fact the miner couldn ' t get hit as well , just assuming that the extra tower hitting it would balance this . Now I ' m wondering which results in a quicker miner death ? I usually use this strategy on counter attacks if I have some goblins about to counter , I usually play the miner on the opposite tower as well as a hogminions to force the decision between which to defend , which usually will be the tower with lesser health . More often than not I usually end up switching towers as more damage ends up being done on the second tower . This is a really good strategy and a great writeup , thanks for this !
