This is the same problem with adding a lurker like unit (even on T3), Zerg already has mobile defense that burrows. Overlapping units is really bad. Look no further then the Terran Tanks and Thor. Thor initially had aoe but hell that overlapped with the sige tank, can't have that. Tanks were now also overlapped with the Thor, can't have that either. So now we have two less then idea units as a result... yey? | ||

Zerg has got the new larve macro mechanic and creep tumor mechanic to encorage more macro and mass. Fungal Growth is good enough already anyway.

Because I don't know what game sc2 version you are playing, but my spine crawlers aren't underground. And yes you can use lurkers defensively, but they sure as hell aren't only for that purpose. The only difference between sc1 is that "sunkens" aren't immobile. And the thor and the siege tank overlapping? oO And even if they were overlapping, they are on different races, how would dark swarm and PDD overlap for zerg? And your reasoning Zerg now has creeptumors/queens so that makes up for the fact that all their units are just completely boring now? Oh okay, Terran has mules and calldown supply and more add-ons, might as well take out every new unit then, because they got those. I'm agreeing that dark swarm shouldn't come back, but your reasoning for it (and the lurker) is just completely wrong | ||

And bringing back dark swarm is not gonna help with balance as I saw a poll earlier saying zerg is the strongest race. | ||

Long answer: No, it does not need Dark swarm, period. I use neural pretty often in pvz (wassup immortals in pushes) and obviously fungal growth. If anything... I would not mind a little more range on neural, and infested terrans having something a little more interesting... but hell, compare the infestor to some of the other casters in the game. HT: 1 spell used Sentry: 1 spell often, another spell semi often Raven: Kinda here and there? I have a zerg caster with a spell I use often, and one spell I use when the situation calls for it.... I am fine with that. edit: Maybe make infested terrans have a monsterous bonus vs air... like 4 +12 or some shit? Then you can mix up alternatives rather than 'I need hydra at some point in case he likes air' | ||

Lol, just imagine getting your Thors controlled and smash your army, Colosies is a bit harder maybe And Infested Terran doesn't seems to make any sense although the idea is funny, I mean the unit can't just spit out the unit and those creatures have guns ! =)) Fungal Grow is like Ensnare mixed up with Plague | ||

Just came to me as an idea at first (about 4am), then people shed light about the raven (which I forgot about). Zerg himself already spoken though, was a good discussion. | ||

Dark Swarm has no reason to be in SC2 whatsoever. this. i think that people need to realize that this isnt some sort of SC1 expansion pack. its a whole new game what would be the fun of having the same shit as the first game? it would just be right back into the same old strategies, and then people would complain how blizzard failed because its just sc1 with better graphics and etc etc etc etc basically, if you want dark swarm, go play broodwars? | ||
