It feels like swarm hosts turns the game in a TBS instead of an RTS.

Please go carriers, tempests do not kill corrupters.


This is a doomed endeavor as the air of stephano will be heavily upgraded already...


Carriers are still better than tempests in this situation.

Oh god it makes me so angry.


True dat... yet still not effective :-/

I am wondering whether Locusts will get nerfed at some point. I faced this as well a couple of times on the ladder and most of the time it ended similarly. Attack upgrade 3 gives Locusts 15 damage vs all - a stalker(125/50) is 12/16 vs armored^^

So after a couple of months of HOTS, and finally a single turtle zerg swam host game - OMG IT'S WOL BL/INF AGAIN ?!?!?! - Swamhosts are broken and boring?!?! - Credit this game to Feasts inaptitude, not the meta.

So if everyone agrees air would be a good decision, why do progamer never get those 200/200 air deathball up asap?

Because they would end up getting killed by the swarm hosts as opposed to starving to death.

Lets have a mindgame: you go for the standard Zlot, Stalker, Collosus + HT style. After your push (which destroyed a bit but couldn't kill the zerg) you are in a splitmap decision on 4bases. Why you just dont go for the 3-4stargates and get some Carriers mixed in? Like every 3stalker/zlot who dies could start a carrier. After you've got like 5-6carriers//2-3colossi//1-2HTs (for feedbacks) + some minor shit like stalkers you push out and crush those spines+SHs

I mean yea it sounds easy and I know it isn't, but it is still a better plan than to stay there and starve to death !

Maybe you should try to qualify. Perhaps you'll get lucky.


Well, it's not perticularly hard to win vs protoss players who keep making stalkers and collossus vs a zerg deathball tbh, I'd probably have a fair chance.

I think he has got the tunnel vision syndrome since Stephano started turtling...

Turtling with Swarmhost is bad. Good protoss know how to break it. Watch parting games for reference.

Not everybody has Parting's god-like micro to pull off such attacks :p


Feast totally has the necesssary micro to deal with it.

He just keeps warping in stalkers and colossus without transitionning to voidrays/colossi/carriers. Stupid...

But Stephano had a lot of corrupters out, and they were upgraded. I thought corruptors rip through carriers so it means the Protoss needs to build up a significant number of void-rays whilst locusts are continually attacking the Protoss bases.



Voidrays totally rape corruptors. Everybody knows it since the beginning of HOTS.

Colossi/vrays with carriers for huge DPS on support units totally destroy this stupid comp.

With the exception of Proleague, it seems like Protoss are being shot down in almost every competition out there.

Guys, you can really only blame it because of the map and Feasts bad unit composition. Swarm Hosts are strong units when used correctly, but this really wasn't indicator of imbalanced thing... Feast just didn't do anything, really.

Unless you face someone who has exceptional micro like Parting. :p

Do you have any suggestions? Honestly asking, as I haven't a clue how I would fight that once it's up.

I really think he could have killed Stephano after he killed the third base. Once he left that position then Stephano had a stranglehold on all avenues in the map. Feast could have even reinforced his army with the warp prism that he had in the main.

I suppose that pushing all in off of three bases and constantly reinforcing that attack would have worked, but I don't think there's a way to win if you split the map and your warp prism attack don't work. Continuing that attack is almost definitely the best idea, I think.

Regarding unit composition counter the protoss could had transitioned into phoneix/voidray since they counter swarm/corruptors, Stephano had to transition into hydras/mutas to actually combat that.

And that's why zergs slow push with spores, vipers and corruptors aswell.

Remember a few weeks ago when people kept talking about how useless swarm hosts were and people would say things like "I've never even seen a pro win with swarm hosts"
