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. and everything new will be hive / Spire tech so it`ll be useless because you die before that. x3 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. Siege Tank v Swarm Host :D | ||

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? | ||

Siege Tank v Swarm Host :D Let me tell you how that will go. Swarm host spawns 2 retarded units, Terran used scan, Swarm host fainted. | ||
