Except agoraphobia would require you to be a unit in the map, not watching other units on map.

There ARE no large open maps in ladder. /signed: zerg

I think it's different when it's on actual human skin, it's bloody freaking!

Compared to the Swarm Host, it's more cartoony. Swarm Host design is fine.

I'm disgusted by the arrogance coming from such as kids here.. ("this topic make's not sense at all", "lol how can one be scared if the art design is so shitty", etc..

From an artistic design pov I actually like the swarm host quite a bite... It feels a bit gross, like zerg should

Also, the video did nothing to me.

Somehow I doubt that blizzard will change art because of a disease defined by urban dictionary. People get fidgety with the video because it's disgusting, not because of some disease.

I forced myself to go all the way through the video. It was boring and I had to resist the urge to watch something else but I made it no poblem.

The Swarm Host does look gross but that doesn't bother me none. If they changed the artwork to make it more appealing and less nasty that would be OK with me too. I voted double no for the last two polls

The person who introduced me to starcraft couldn't play zerg, because he was phobic of the noises that the hatchery/eggs made. Not sure why. He still played, though.

I also had a friend who couldn't play starcraft at all because he was phobic of blood, and there was no way to turn off the bloodshed back then. Even virtual blood made him vomit at the sight of it.

This phobia is a little more niche, and honestly, isnt that big of a deal.

Besides, holy butts people, they're the zerg. Thank god they finally got a unit that can scare SOME percentage of the populace.

ugghhhh, that video is so disgusting, not because of the holes, but because of all the open wounds and blatantly 'wrong' humans with bizarre wounds and such that make me feel like throwing up now

omg, this is what I was thinking when I saw the design.

Sometimes even when mass zerglings burrowed then unburrowed give me a bit of scare as well but if you are playing fast and not concentrating on the units, I think it will be ok

from 2:00 onward, that is when things get real bad for me, that japanese girl always scared the crap out of me

I didn't make it through the video because of itches and such (stopped at around ~1:30) but I have no problem with the unit design. Though, should there be a problem I don't see why we need to keep this design, sure it's cool but if it prevents people from playing it then I don't like it.
BW hwaiting!
