Why do they do so much damage? Aren't they supposed to be a kind of attrition siege unit? Even if he dedicates a lot of army resources towards killing the locusts they always manage to destroy the nexus before dying.

Love seeing everyone thinking swarmhosts are actually good lol. They are trash. Neeb still had a chance to win that game even after handling the locusts terribly and getting blindsided by them. I suspect this is a “vs Neeb strategy” only. He saw Scarlett use them against neeb effectively and thought he could do it better. Neeb way too patient against this style

Given that Zest build is 3 base 3 gate void ray, i am fairly positive roach ravager SH does literally nothing against it. Of course, the chance is that you die before you get a 3rd base done, but i'll ignore it for the sake of argument.

And what is your basis for saying that swarm hosts are bad? Do you have any statistics, or are you just making it up as you go along? What I see is multiple tournaments which have been decided by swarm hosts

I wouldnt say SH are trash, as otherwise zerg would just go for another option. But yeah I wouldnt say they are OP as well, although especially in Serrals hands it can look that way.

Still a disgusting unit to see in action.

You can't go Airtoss against SH Nydus you need splash damage or the locusts just kill everything while the void rays tickle them.

They sure do, and they are very snowbally, so a bad start like Neeb had in game 1 and losing a single immortal/archon early on and a Serral/Reynor need to throw the game to lose. But then stopping the first 1-2 nydusses from getting up and the toss is in a great position

Lmao where are your statistics saying they are good? Now that we have that dumb idea of needing stats to justify claims in a video game that provides us no data, they are bad. You just walk across the map and kill the Zerg once you hit a critical mass. Neeb has the chance to do that even after handling the locusts terribly, but then he routinely didn’t pay attention to his army units and had way too many units picked off. If Serral played any Korean Protoss he wouldn’t use swarmhosts

I don't remember seeing a top Zerg losing with SH recently. Notable is last Season finals where Reynor beat Trap with it and it looked as onesided as these games
