I think you should put more info into the shost/ling composition vs protoss. I saw soulkey do it a couple months ago and stole it. I think its really strong and you can get a a pretty fast crackling/ultra comp with your initial 15ish swarmhosts. I think its alot stronger than swarm host hydra (unless they open stargate) because of added mobility/cheaper dps and you can bank up gas for corruptors or ultras. Its also easier to deal with drops because of how fast lings are. Just my 2 cents though.Also, that rally point trick is awesome! The hold position micro is pretty sick too. | ||

Follow locusts with SH's. Let the first wave of locusts die to enemy army, burrow SH's up close and send a second wave very quickly before the enemy can recover much. I think, decreasing the range of SH "weapon" will solve many problems. For example modify Locust upgrade so it makes them spawn faster, and keeps 15 second life. | ||

Instead of spawning, say, 2000hp worth of free units every 25s, you're now spawning 2000hp worth of free units every 15s. Swarm hosts would be a little bit closer to the action and thus more vulnerable, but tanks would be literally pinned in place, unable to unsiege and reposition before the next volley of locusts. | ||
