People like you need to stop making comparisons between the SH and Broodlords, they function completely differently. It's like saying Siege Mode and Psi Storm are too similar because they both deal AoE damage.

I've never heard the Hydralisk described as a 'fast unit' before.

Still, enjoyed the interview.

You quoted the wrong person. The only difference between these 2 is that Broodlords fly + don't have to burrow, and the SH is a ground unit that does have to burrow.

I guess you stopped there and didn't listen any further.
They may conceptually be alike, but in terms of tactical and dynamical possibilities, they are very different. If you listen correctly, he mentions that. Bashing blizzard is ok, but please, at least try to listen.

Yeah you're right, I forgot Broodlords can spawn slow moving ranged units on command without a target and rally them towards a location to assault before quickly repositioning themselves. Good thing those broodlings can shoot air too and last long enough to hit targets 30 range away. Also I love surprise spawning them right on top of armies that walk over my Broodlords without detection.

Or how about those pesky locusts being fired straight onto tanks to do guaranteed damage on impact before drawing friendly fire? And of course they can be shot over cliffs so terrain has no effect on them. Thank god they aren't available until quite a ways after hive tech right?

Haha I'd love a bc buff in hots, but I think I would be more useful with the speed upgrade, I'm not sure.. :/ I don't like that they are thinking 'bout not doing the buff to ravens just because "zergs have been doing worse in tournaments", sounds kinda off. Raven could use that speed buff, it's okay if the skip the creep nerf though.

I hope the core stays ontop of the nexus aswell, I don't see the point of it being able to move. "Feels more like a unit because it can move" is wierd reasoning to me.

Swarm host dont fly, have to burrow, can spawn unit on command, are effective against air, and are played differently than Broodlord, and come in play mid-game

They are not similar

BC damage increase?

overpowered. completely overpowered


EDIT: oh good, its only for hots

thank god

i believe hots will fail horribly and WoL will continue to be the premier tournament title for at least 2 more years. So as long as the bc buff stays out of WoL ill be happy

I believe WoL still has depth yet to be discovered, as taeja/mvp lategames recently in tvz has shown us

MVP completely decimated maxed zerg armies in IEM with his max BC/viking/raven composition. Give BC's a damage buff in WoL and you might be completely overpowering terran lategame against zerg.

As a request, next time you guys do an interview.

I don't like watching videos of these things. I'm often playing a game or listening to music or watching a movie or something while I check stuff like this. I want to read it.

Please provide a text version.

How can you watch a movie and read an interview at the same time? Better question, why are you browsing the internet while watching a movie?


Because people watch movies on Netflix these days? It's as easy as pressing Alt+Tab.

Much harder to listen to two different videos at the same time.


That's completely besides the point.

HotS will not fail horribly. Im pleased to hear that the Carrier decision is not finalized. They are still discussing it internally.

En Taro Carrier!

It was just an example of an idea for a new unit that turned out to be either crap, redundant or unexciting.

No. Tournaments will immediately switch over HoTS upon its official release (not beta) because A its the expansion to the WoL not a whole new game, and B hype - people are gonna be more interested in seeing new strategies and tactics then seeing the same battles weve been witnessing for the next 2 years
