Honestly I think zerg needs a ranged anti-light unit now to hopefully deal with hellion/marines. Possibly at tier2. And anti-light lurker seems all too fitting now. | ||

I'm not even going to discuss the fact that all the HotS units are are a bad copy of BW units. The fact is that these are pretty much the only units that Blizzard has ever shown to the public. It is very discouraging to see that these unit concepts have evolved so little and are simply being hammered down until they fit into the game. I no longer expect to see the Warhound being reinvented or new units being tested; we will be force-fed these units. I would really like to see more experimentation, more unit concepts, more ideas and creativity. Unfortunately that is not Blizzard's mindset. Moreover, TL doesn't allow open discussions about new units and concepts which is peculiar, to say the least. ? really? If true, I find that peculiar too | ||

It's not like Blizzard is sifting through the TL forum hoping that someone will post that perfect unit concept that they can implement. If you want to discuss unit ideas, there are plenty of places to do that. It doesn't need to happen here. It's just not productive. | ||

If true, I find that peculiar too I think the problem there is that it's all too easy to suggest new units and concepts, but very few of those will be good, and even less of those will actually get back to Blizzard and be implemented. And with threads like those, they have very little "worth" unless they get implemented, whereas other threads like strategy discussions or talking about a pro's gameplay are useful regardless of a Blizzard response. | ||

They probably have to be very specific: targeting a precise problem, with a precise idea of how, where and when it would function, and you would have to be someone with a good reputation or have another way to put weight behind your opinion. And the OP itself would have to be written in a very organized manner. This is my guess because they surely wouldn't want your random gold player get a random idea, start a thread with no work behind it with a OP like "Wouldn´t it be cool if larvae could shoot lasers!". Then we wouldn't be any better than Dustin Browder, and that is what put us in this awkward situation to begin with. | ||

Well actually if Zerg got an actual siege-tank variant (like a Baneling launcher) then I'd agree with you. But the Swarm Host isn't a direct-fire unit like that. If you have sufficient defenses you can kill all the locusts without them doing any damage. The real role is to pressure the enemy to stop turtling and move out to engage the Zerg on his own terms, or suffer an ever-increasing barrage of locusts. Zerg in WoL don't have that luxury, and the only cost-efficient option even against someone who you have an advantage against is to tech to midgame. Swarm Hosts offer another midgame option. | ||

The most effect response I've seen to them being used offensively is just to counter attack their base, the unborrow, move forward, burrow, spawn units and kill stuff in a area is rather slow in base trade situtations and they aren't quick at getting back to defend. As long as you have afew siege tanks+marines in bunkers/cannons+stalkers/afew spawnhosts+spine crawlers to hold them off for awhile you should always come out ahead. | ||
