Yeah, there is really no unit like that in WOL! So unique! 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. 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? | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

i believe hots will fail horribly and WoL will continue to be the premier tournament title for at least 2 more years 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 | ||
