This is more exciting than normal SH play against mech. Both sides aren't just having a stalemate fight. Of course with mass Ravens that might change.

That is just your opinion, some people say that mech is boring as fuck and just as much as Swarm Hosts, some people enjoy playing mech.
I definitely see the difference between this and any other Mech vs Swarm Hosts game, and I liked this one a lot more.

Well, Ravens are changed too for the same reason. I doubt that people will mass them that much anymore.

Keep in mind the style and its counterstyle aren't figured out at all. It's like the first swarm host games in early 2013 which were also very exciting. When players like TLO did 2base Swarm Host siege builds and Protoss would try to make their way through the locusts with Colossus/Storm and Zergs hadn't quite figured out to build 50spores with the SHs every game and tried to do BL/Swarm Host attacks.
Like any fundamental change to any unit would look good right now because it would shake things up and there would be exciting action while players are trying to figure out the changes.

It could work out, but from that Good vs Snute game if you look at what Goody's combat management against the SHs was, it was just running away if possible. So the optimal way to fight still seems to be not to fight which is the whole stupidity with SH play all along.

At some points, yes, but on the other hand I saw a lot of wasted opportunities from Goody where he could've literally just a-clicked and destroy half of Snute's army but he would just Siege up in front of Snute's base and wait for new wave of Locusts for some unknown reason(probably because he thought that new Locust wave is coming soon).

So single monitor plebs can fullscreen the stream and also experience twitch chat at the same time.

Also, lol swarm hosts are so good. this can't make it into the full game.
