I also imagine that constantly unburrowing and repositioning Swarm Hosts when their spawners are on cooldown could also be a powerful tactic since they're essentially sitting ducks during that period. | ||

Now we are considering to completely re-design several units such as Void-ray and Raven. | ||

Its the same approach on how to counter them. Just saying its very easy for the terran to beat. SH aagainst protoss on the other hand i think is abit harder for them | ||

SH aagainst protoss on the other hand i think is abit harder for them I guess it depends on what kind of units each player has out, if Zerg has viper they can pull the tanks into the range of locusts. | ||

I mean I haven't had much time with HoTS outside of a little experimentation but from what I have managed and seen from pros they don't feel like they'd be very effective against terran at all. Terran having the most ranged units for the locusts and an instant detection for killing the hosts seems like a direct counter to the design of the unit. Who knowns though, I mean I never would've thought banelings would be good against protoss in WoL. So far I think the SH shines the most in ZvZ. | ||

Hmm, Jangbi didn't execute it the same as Parting did, though. Stopped making Phoenix at 1. | ||
