remember that buffed spores allowed ZvZ to evolve from pure muta wars & the occasional roach all in

Listen guys!

It's not the SH that are too powerful. It's spore crawlers... They buffed spore crawlers long ago because every ZvZ was muta vs muta... Now they just kill everything. And considering the only way you can beat SH is with air, the Viper + Spore Crawler combo makes it unbeatable. That combo shuts down all air.

That's the issue, not the SH themselves.

I actually think you have a point. Mutas would be a good way to combat this if it wasn't for the unbelievable strength of spores vs mutas as demonstrated by Byul. That being said, the change decreased the number of muta vs muta ZvZs and makes my life easier when defending against them so i'm not sure what to change


Slightly weaken sporecrawlers again? Find some middleground from where it was to 3 shotting mutas.

or you could, you know, ban Swarmhosts. i heard someone has tried this before.

Since Naniwa quit playing due to swarmhosts one can assume it's passive aggressive dissing.

3 months after the start of HotS, I was all like "plz don't patch let it develop" but no so I guess this just sucks.

He will reach Savior status. A zerg killing the game again.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

As long as Blizzard is watching Swarmhost in action, maybe there will be something good that comes from it.

nothing good can happen from it because then we will have turtle terran and turtle protoss vs zerg if they start to lose so the zerg gets fucked.


I would think that by now it is obvious that Swarmhost is the unit that is causing problems in all three matchups.
Turtling is the result of not being able to move out with ground army and the inability to start the game straight away with sky army. It just doesn't work that way.

There was a game on some fucking desert map i cant remember with Idra vs some random protoss who went sky toss, never moved out, and just sat on 3 bases with skytoss. You can say "oh hes doing that just to be a dick", but zergs only counter to that really for trading is swarm hosts.

as much of a shitty design or whatever it is..we need swarm hosts.

Also Turtling can be the result of like what we just had with stephano. He got behind..went swarm hosts so he can stay in the game and win it. Protoss starting to lose > go sky toss while turtling > have a chance at winning because nerfing SH just makes it much more effective.

When was the last time you saw a game literally go to shit because of a guy turtling with sky toss? Which player is known to play that annoying style in close to 100% of games?

In ZvZ the Swarmhost is the problem. In ZvT/ZvP Zerg can't win a late game without Swarmhosts, and they're a reaction to turtling Mech Terrans/Protoss most of the time.


Even if I accept that for the sake of argument, that doesn't mean Swarmhost isn't terrible unit and needs a complete overhaul or straight up removal, with possible buff to zerg against mech or late game protoss to even things out. And that was my initial point. SH is a terrible unit to play against but also watch in action. SC2 is highly mechanical RTS which requires a lot of actions, multitasking etc. That is what creates exciting games, not watching endless waves of free units that can be controlled with minimal APM. SH goes against everything SC2 stands for (at least for me).
