I really hope Blizzard will add locust nerf to balance test map soon. It's just lame to watch someone going melee upgrades and SHs then straight for hive units.

Haven't we know that swarmhosts are obnoxiously good since a long time ago? Like stephano was beating mc with mass swarmhost in wcs 1. No one likes playing them though so it wouldn't surprise me if zerg played that style unless they absolutely have to - like recently with protoss styles becoming so tight.
I think it was a development kind of like with the BL. It was good, but since people hadn't figured out the exact way to get to them and how to play with them once you got them they were vulnerable to various counters.
Haha, I remember how people used to say "Build SHs -> lose the game" back in wcs season 1 ^^

It didn't take them long at all, however. 1 A lot of zergs hate playing SH oriented styles (who wouldn't) 2 SH is sort of map dependent, they work great on maps where you can control a lot of space from one central position (Daybreak, Akilon, Habitation Station, King Sejong Station, Yeonsu), but are not nearly as powerful on large open maps (Whirlwind, Frost).

I will say that for a game that was swarm host vs colossus deathball that was a pretty good game. At least it wasn't an hour long

She can watch SH kill Protoss and revel in the hatred, anger and loathing.

This map is so like Xelnaga Caverns that PvP has reverted back to WoL nearly.
