I don't think Swarm Hosts are a balance problem. They're a design problem. Like other people have pointed out, free units in a resource-based game just doesn't make that much sense irrespective of win %.



Yeah I agree they are a horribly designed unit, but ravens are sort of kind of the same thing, but with their energy and the ability to make everything invulnerable unless abducted... I cant even fathom how blizzard would rework the swarmhost without making zerg too weak.

People starting to catch on that the alleged "Terran Buffs" actually didn't do anything. The whine will return with vengeance.

Not sure if going mech against one of the best SH players in the world is the best idea.


Don't think Zerg can do anything against 7-base SkyTerran

You can hope he's dumb and seekers a bunch of mutas and then fly them into the viking/raven cloud. Otherwise, I dunno Kev.

Mech doesn't fit MMA, he just can't switch his mind to correct approach seems like.

Give them energy, spawn swarmling becomes an ability with a cool down and energy cost. Can't infinitely spam and have to play strategically.

i still dont think SH are OP as a whole, they're just OP against mech, which has always kinda sucked anyway throughout hots except on some very specific maps
