Is it really necessary to push battlecruisers even further into the mire and make them that easy to counter? sounds like 1 Swarm Host at every expansion can instantly clear a drop If you read 1st post normally, I've said about air-to-ground attack only Also, another unit that isn't affected by forcefields would make zvp a better matchup in my opinion. True! And it will force protoss player make air even more, as Blizzard wants. The swarm host is supposed to be a siege unit. This is an another form of siege unit. Spawn suicide units alltime to force enemy start fight with you, or suicide locusts will kill more. EDIT : Also, this thread is not about buffing the locust, just re-designing it. Maybe making the locust an air unit would make it better, but I would hardly call this a buff as it would be a whole new unit. It's not really buff. Here is why: - Thors already have anti-light AA-attack. Finally splash attack will be useful, because mutalisks are always are under magix box - widow mines still hitting air - Siege tanks will not be able to shut down locusts. But for compensation, thors now can do that from long range. Too many free units for Zerg as is. Adding flying ones into the mix would be terrible. Too many splash-weapons for other races. Non-adding free unit to zergs can cause situation that zergs will be very weak in HOTS against all new stuff + old one. Nice art but jesus can we stop begging for BW units Thats why it's a Locust with air-to-ground damage. Scourges were different a lot and had different role. These kamikaze flying Locusts will fill the role, as current Locust supposed to do, but not fullfill normally because of many things, that kills them quickly, making Swarm Hosts useless right now. They added Warp Field (slows locists into the hell), oracles can shut down light-locusts, void rays were buffed, so they even stronger vs corruptors that will try to defend swarm hosts, colossies already kill all locusts, you have recall against masses of locusts, you got tempests to snipe swarm hosts. I like the locust as they are now personally I like them too, but it's so frustrating to see, that one of favourite units not works properly | ||

They should keep the airborne locusts but have the same attack. | ||

On the ground, they look like race cars. As a spectator looking at a stage or something, the animation and model just looks awkward. Also locust portrait is terrible for me. Other zerg units have a lot cooler and nicer portraits. | ||

Too many free units for Zerg already, flying would be pretty insane. | ||

As of now, the Swarm Host is countered by the Collosi and the Siege tank, rendering it a pretty useless unit. It's good for all ins, but that's it. Hopefully they redesign it because as of now it isn't fulfilling any role at all. I might as well keep rushing to Hive. | ||
