Are Lvl 5 Units viable anymore?

nope, they do low damage. now it's true dragons do deal high damage FOR a level 5 unit, but compared to say... thorn hunters or berzerkers? or bears? they do pathetic damage. the flipside though is that those units are easy to kill and hard to get into a good position, also of course the damage of lower tier units raises as the hero's level raises and the hero's attack can raise the weak units attack to high levels.

now dragons can often hit many units at once, but sometimes you'd rather deal 3000 damage to one enemy stack, than 1000 damage to 3 enemy stacks. really it all just depends, I'd say dragons are really powerful and freaking cool and awesome, but also reasonably balanced in the game.
