Fuck do I know, i was sitting at the buss for 50% of the game. God I've been to the baller fan club before, but re-reading it is giving me renewed life enjoyment. His life story was touching and gave me orgasms. | ||

They are definitely very good, but they have insane requirements for support and are difficult to transition too, you need a huge bank and a Great Wall of Zerg of casters and static def. Early-mid game they are terrible. 2 base nydus swarmhost allin disagrees with you. | ||

We have a back and forth game with action happening in 3 places at once and still so much complaining. This is 10x better than WoL. This game? Yeah it's cool. Last game? It went on for half an hour while protoss had no chance whatsoever. | ||

Thing is, Swarmhosts don't really provide anything additional to what you've already got in that regard. You get more, weaker units that have the same problems as Roaches, Zerglings etc. No matter how many you have they cannot go through forcefields and they cannot destroyed by choke points, especially against siege units like Siege Tanks and Collossi. So Terran will do fine against them first with bunkers and then siege tanks a littler later and Protoss still forcefields into Collossi. Sure lategame and starving tactics are there but I don't feel like the Swarmhost has any "mid game, punishing siege unit" potential. I'd rather say the Viper has that siege potential but is obviously too late. | ||
