I don't like the design of the shredder. It doesn't look like a terran unit at all, more like a stalker...

Are they fucking kidding me? So the Swarm Host won't do splash dmg, and take 15 seconds to reload.. and the broodling things are slow as hell. Feels like if the terran have detection this unit will be useless, marine/maruaders could probably own this unit easily in a straight up fight and also kite the broodlings with concussive shells.

Now I realized an ultimate scheme in this.. In WoL, Toss has a superunit. In HotS, terran has a superunit. That means in the last expansion ZERG will have a superunit and it will be there forever! AH AH!

I hope not. Doesn't fit the style of the race at all.

Mothership as a super-unit at least makes some sense. A thor? I don't know man.

Blink + Nexus recall = op.

and im protoss.

i think blizzard is making way too many changes. adding new units is fine but they are taking away a bunch and changing some and changing things that people have been getting used to for more than a year. like a totally different game. im not complaining yet but i dont know if its a good idea.

Yea this is just too much. I'd most likely switch back to toss because of this(used to play a lot of blink stalkers, then switched to zerg). You can snipe a tech building and get out - with blink and mass recall you won't even need to suffer any losses.

I really like all these changes that blizzard have made, sure they may actually seem a bit gimmicky but I think they will improve the quality of the games that SC2 produces.

To be honest I think that these changes have massively changed the micro concept of the game which a lot of people where complaining about. The oracle's ability for stopping mining is one of them, its really cool that if micro correctly a base or all of the bases can be stopped from mining. Another example swarm host, I like the way that they are turning zerg into a more positional race, for example you use the swarm host to eliminate the army before pushing up further and destroying the next army, it will be quite interesting to see the TvZ mechanics now.

Ive just realised how retarded the swarm host is. JUST GIVE US THE FUCKING LURKER YOU IDIOTS. Spawns 2 slow melee units every 15 seconds, are you for real??? How are they gonna get in range, do you even think when you make these things FFS.

I think most of the changes are just awesome. What I don't like though:

1. Mass recall - just for 75 energy escaping from anywhere in the map is just OP. Protoss going to use this all the time instead of CB.

2. Shredder - terran already had PFs which are nearly invincible, bunkers, tanks, do they realy need one more strong defense unit? This unit is something zerg would like to have considering that zerg's defense is worst of all 3 races.

3. Swarm Host - very nice idea, but I just feel it's going to be too weak. Imagine I burrow few of them in my expansion to defend. Terran makes drop of 8 marines, Swarm host starts to spawn units, and I imagine 8 stimmed marines gonna overpower those 2 Swarm hosts with absolutelly no problem. Especially cause those units spawn with very low rate.

And btw burrowed Swarm host is invisible or not for enemy?
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

Let me tell you how that will go. Swarm host spawns 2 retarded units, Terran used scan, Swarm host fainted.
