i barely got top 10k with golem last season. It's tough man evo wizard, void, and now evo goblin cage just make it more and more impossible to play. Sad to hear you didnt get top 1k you were really close man, hope this season turns out better for you.
I normally win vs Pekka, but maybe that's because my deck can handle the bridge spam easily, plus I have evo bomber and pheonix. I agree though that Golem needs a significant buff, perhaps evo golem will do the trick.
I finished at 2400 trophies this season with golem, and like you I think it's very hard to win but it's possible, I don't desesperate for the moment and I will continue to play golem this season, evo cage and canoncart can be interesting. Moreover, if golem is not very viable is due to evos because with golem the cycle is not very fast :(
I did pretty well this season with golem, got to league 9 for the first time in 5 or 6 months. But I feel your frustration. There are very few decks that golem counters and most matches feel like an uphill battle with it. I feel like golem needs an evo for it to become competitive in the meta again
Golem has been weak since evolutions released. It was in the perfect spot right before evos. It’s been almost consistently getting weaker since. There STILL isn’t one good evo for golem decks.
