I can't watch utubs on this comp, but I definitely have trypophobia, but swarmhost isn't that bad (compared to things like google imgs trypophobia which makes me want to cut off the stuff in the imgs/skin craw/stomach turn). Also I feel like ingame you won't be concentrating on how they look, although I do find it uncomfortable to look at swarmhosts for over 2 sec or so. IMO just hi apm + don't concentrate on hosts and nearly everyone will be fine.

Just to be safe blizz should prolly change it a bit, esp since new graphics aren't going to hurt any1....

There is a phobia for almost everything. Swarm Host does not need different art work, and I question your intelligence for even making this thread.

MOD EDIT:

Swarm host gives me the same reaction as this :/

It makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable like ugghhh, stomach churning and heat beats slightly faster.

And no i'm not being a troll.

I really can't stand the artwork or the concept of this unit what so ever , its groses me and give weird chills/goosbumps of disgust. And the worst part is that I play zerg.

I'm sooo worried dude.

I really I had to close the video when I watched, I don't know if is it phobia , but I just couldn't stand it I swear to god , I hope the change it for real.

Or else I'm screwed.

I really wish they would just change it, the lurker did not have this problem. I was going to make a thread about this issue, but then I remembered how immature the TL community is so I reconsidered. Luckily my trypophobia isn't bad enough to the point where I can't stand looking at the unit as is temporarily.

That image is extremely disturbing. I can say with total honesty, that I feel itchy and repulsed by that image. I can never look at the swarm host the same way again. Yuck man just...ugh.
Insanity is repeating the same task and expecting different results.

i WANT to be disgusted by The Swarm. I want to be frightened by their sudden arrival and the disgusted by their abhorrent appearance.

1- the swarm isn't supposed to be all cuddly and cute. but, if phobias are going to be that big a problem, why not just make every zerg unit a teddy bear. all the melee units give hugs, and the ranged shoot out little hearts.
2- i think the first video "phobia test" could be found slightly disturbing by almost anyone. it also exhibits a great example of the placebo effect (go look it up). if it weren't for the fact that they placed in the back of my mind, what i might feel, i probably would have felt nothing at all.
3- the actual swarm host art does not disturb me in the least. you didn't need to show me the frog with babies living in it's back. that was, i will admit, slightly disturbing. however the swarm host is not a frog, nor is it real,nor is it any type of real life edited event that has been created only to disturb people. the video you showed was, however, all of these in one. all you needed was to show video #2(the one with the actual topic).
4- if this thread was about a videogame unit, why did it start with a video of things that even people without this phobia could find disturbing. you may as well have linked to some article about scabies.
5- the SH does not bother me in the least, and neither does the idea of what it is, or it's artwork. i think it's cool. i think it fits the zerg ideal awesomely, and i think 66.6% of the votes made against it are T or P.
