I feel like all LotV matchups are worse than their HotS and WoL versions, with two exceptions. 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.

How triggered are you on a scale of Whitera to Idra right now?

Im not that triggered, its a long time since i accepted the fact that lotv ZvT is super lame no matter who wins it, and honestly, did anyone expect frozen to play out any differently?

meh, I still like ZvT if it's not roach/ravager

so 1%

not like everyone plays like Snute, Nerchio's ZvT is exciting

Or if its mass air terran, thats also very retarded

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.

Doesnt he just do the exact same thing, except he uses more lings and melee upgrades? Like he still makes use of a roach/ravager base to get out pretty fast ultras

PvT was much better before the collossus buff but now it's kinda the same as HotS

he plays completely different, ling/ravager/infestor, to get to ultras

which is hard to micro for both sides, and I can appreciate that

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.

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.
When I think of something else, something will go here

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

I think pretty much all of lotv is worse than Hots :D I didn't like Lotv changes and new units at all. (Tankivacs killed TvT, fuck them)

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

I definitely agree. Speedvacs and banshee change made it worse at Hots. Tankivacs killed it.
