LotV ZvZ is actually really good, the best of all 3 expansions. I think LotV PvP is better than WoL PvP, but that's a really low bar to clear. All matchups involving T in LotV are pretty lame though imo. PvZ and PvT are better too imo. Sure adepts can be a pain, but colossi, immortal all-ins, broodlords, swarmhosts were worse, and the match-ups are a bit more diverse and less deathball oriented. | ||

A lot more. I loved the swarmhost era. Still really sad there are no mods or anything to play even in a custom game with the old swarmhost. | ||

All matchups involving T in LotV are pretty lame though imo. I would say ZvP is 100000 times better then hots and wol ZvP. I would even say PvT is better as well. ZvT has gone down, not as fun to watch or play (still not as bad as it could be... Wish muta/ling/bane was used more). ZvZ doesn't seem that different and I can't comment on TvT or PvP :p. | ||

I think 1 hour mech vs swarmhost games were the most fun I've ever had with sc2. such an intense positional battle. | ||

I also loved that era, SH's made for really exciting games in ZvP, but Blizzard decided to remove an unit because of a couple European Zergs playing a particular style rip but yeah, I think LotV ZvP is still better, it's really good with how the mid game plays out | ||
