Much less it should be a good tool to kill other artillery, that's what has brought us here. Swarm Hosts so that Zerg can outrange the already overly prevalent artillery units of Protoss (Colossus) and Terran (Tank). Tempests to kill Zerg (Broodlord) and Protoss (Colossus) artillery units. Though blizzard might be fixing that a bit for Legacy. Colossus range down (though I'd prefer a general redesign of that piece of crap), low range splash for Protoss instead, the will to change SHs and Tempests (even if I don't like their redesign). Some stuff looks good. Though they also add another 15range Terran unit so who knows what's going on in their minds... The terran tank is awesome in BW. It has the perfect mix of strengths and weaknesses in combination with its surrounding units. If anything, tanks need a better support cast that make them even more usable in SC2. | ||

I am afraid that a weaker swarmhost will push protoss and terran toward these playstyle, which would be horrible both to play against and watch. If turtling didn't exist then the only viable playstyle would be rushing, it also adds variety to the game when a player on fewer bases actually can win occasionally due to efficient trades. The problem is when the turtling continues for over an hour. I'm pretty sure the swarmhost changes are going to greatly reduce turtling for non-zerg. Stronger locusts + flying over flash damage and chokepoints means that every wave is almost guaranteed to do some damage. Long respawn time means that inbetween waves the opponent can push out and counter-attack. | ||

I don't think endlessly bringing up how people enjoyed Mech in Broodwar makes it any more legit in SC2. But the tank is probably the most exciting artillery in the game (maybe the only exciting one to begin with), due to many cool weaknesses (e.g. siege mechanic, minimum range, friendly splash). | ||

People didn't even like mech in Brood War as much as you would be led to believe. Mech was mandatory in TvT and TvP, but in TvZ you had the option of going bio, and you could usually hear quite a bit of complaining when someone went mech instead, at least after the thrill of novelty wore off. | ||

The game is balanced enough atm, its just that it often divulges into boring play style. You dont need slight tweaks to units stats, you need a complete redesign. | ||
