Lurkers are definately a better idea in BW. In SC2 I'm not sure how they'd fit in. Right now Swarm Hosts seem to help Zerg standing their ground stronger, although terrible for harassment. I would definetely like to see a new model/skin for the Lurker though if it WOULD have a chance on getting in (Chances are low though: They're already starting to focus on the Swarm Host and HOTS is almost 4 months away only.

I actually really like the Swarm Host. Its different, it looks badass, and its super strong, which means it will be used instead of just faded out like nothing.

I hate the broodlings mechanics. Units spitting out more units = free supply = poor for both balance and spectating point of view.

The lurker has a cooler mechanics for the attack which makes it more suitable for a great gameplay.
I wish they would just put it back in, maybe with a different name since it seems they are sensitive to the whole old units idea lol

Lurker ♥ Swarm Host + Infested Terran = So many free units !

Imagine the late game versus Zerg. BL's + Swarm Host + Infestor's = 300 supply. + Zerglings reprod

Zergs already have enough free units to break the supply cap a million times over....swarm host are terrible once it goes into the late game. I would like the lurker back also.

I still don't get the cute design of some of the SC2 units (puppy ultras can DIAF). The swarm host looks ridiculous with that fucking bubblegum hat on. The lurker, now that thing looked lethal.

All those centuries ago the OP did this thread a disservice by not mentioning the Lurker's speed. It's quite fast, as fast as a stimmed marine. And in BW it doesn't have a range upgrade like the SC2 version did, so you're looking at a fast medium ranged unit vs. a slow long range unit. They both burrow and kind of look similar but otherwise they're completely different and could easily coexist.

The lurkers role is alredy taken by the baneling.
