You in no way shape or form need to kill the locust to kill the swarm host. | ||

Then they should really complain about that. What if locusts were restricted to only walk 15 range from the swarm hosts would that remove the issue? I seem to remember plenty of complaining about free infested terrans despite them having a very low effective range. | ||

I said locusts are not free in a meaningful sense, I never said that all units are free as you seem to be interpreting my response as. Why even make a distinction between a unit such as a locust and a bullet/tank shot? Yes technically locusts are designated locusts and they have some advantages (and disadvantages) over instant hit shots. If a tempest shot was redesignated as a unit and was altered slightly (maybe it could be shot down, and it could retarget), would you then start complaining that tempests spawned free units despite the fact that they would act pretty much as before? I was merely pointing out the arbitrary distinction you were making. I don't even understand in my wildest dreams that here on a forum dedicated to StarCraft there's even a discussion about this equivalency. This is beyond absurd. | ||

This is exactly an issue you can discuss, the range is definitely huge. Also they provide their own vision. | ||

It's doable as long as the Zerg isn't having the locust just sit on top of their swarm host. Unless "attacking with the locusts" counts as a mistake. | ||

Obviously the solution is to bring back Optical Flare, but since there needs to be a change so it is not a straight up copy from Brood War it is an AoE instead. | ||
