EPTIt also doesn't help because the swarmhosts can pick off any small groups of units which are defending potential nydus locations, with 0 risk to the zerg, and however far forward your groups of units are, the swarmhosts can always take out your defences. Any engagement with locusts is giving away free units, so the only efficient counterplay is to avoid engagements. If zerg is able to use them regularly to attack en masse, without sacrificing defensive capability, then it's just a free exchange over time with very little risk.

Protoss successful deny several times nydus means nothing, but it will get heavily punished with one failure. Meanwhile, 3 corrosive biles took out the WP and all options of Trap's counterattack to win him the game. For me the worst imbalance is this, how incredible skill is required to stop Nydis-SH and how little is required to stop such a strong Protoss attack. | ||
