They're not correct. OP showed a visually disturbing video and then claimed if you were disturbed you have this "phobia". And then people said they wanted the unit changed because of this. The 10% are the 10% they don't understand they were just manipulated. Look I can do it do, and did it before in this thread.

If you found that disturbing you have entomophobia, should zerg be removed?


Jesus christ, that video is so disgusting :D Love it!

lolol i didnt know there was a word for it. I do have "trypophobia" but i really don't give a fuck. It's hard to notice how shit looks at 200 apm.

The swarm host's back looks directly inspired from lotus seed pods (google at your own risk), which give me goosebumps all over my face. I play zerg, but I wouldn't change it because I think I'll get used to it. It's a nice addition to the overall creepiness of the race.

I always have a small reaction to things with holes like that but not enough for me to want it remove. Besides I can hardly notice if my game is at ultra or low while i'm playing, so I doubt i'll be looking at the unit design that much.

I made it to the end of the video ezpz. However I would like a model change not because it disturbs me, but because I don't like it as a whole. I still think it should be a baneling launcher.

alot of people in this thread don't know what a phobia is


a phobia is for me something thats makes your life difficult
something like claustrophobia and some sort of animals phobia
when you are scared to death about something
anything else is for me just invented stuff by the humans stupidity.

When you have a Problem try to solve the Problem
beginning with you not with things around you.

Or just go to a doctor.

I...honestly haven't watched the video, but I do suffer from the phobia (the cluster of holes part of it).

I'm very aware it's irrational, and certainly watching the Swarm Host in action did make me feel very uncomfortable once I saw the locusts spawning.

I have no idea where or why the phobia developed, but I do know that the fear is from the imagination of having all of these holes 'suck the life out of something'. I suppose the earliest example I recall watching was in the old James Bond movie 'Octopussy' where after a brief fight, it shows a blue ringed octopus on someone's face (and since then I can't look at octopus tentacles and their suckers without shuddering a little).

I do feel that, as a Zerg player, I'll be desensitised over time as I use the Swarm Host more, because my phobia isn't strong enough to deter me from the game. I completely understand if peoples' situations are worse.

Quite frankly the swarm host doesnt look very appealing to me. I dont really like the overall zerg- insect theme, makes me feel uncomfortable. I would like blizzard to eat some custom skins, like unicorn zerglings and fairy mutalisks.

How can you be afraid of something you know can't hurt you? That is human stupidity.

Don't suffer from it personally, but I can understand those with the phobia.

I don't think the swarm host needs a change, though; I don't think it's that bad.

This seems so silly to me :p definitely never felt so weird watching a youtube video, so no I didn't itch at all throughout the whole video and no I don't think the swarm host needs new artwork done.
