Maybe they should remove current Enduring Locusts upgrade, and give it by default, and put in upgrade that let you spawn 3 Locusts instead of 2? But even without this, I think that Swarm Hosts aren't bad units, but just underused. I think that Mine needs a bit of its splash nerfed, Medivac should be fine, but we will see. And I would love to see Hellbats have their damage nerfed, and getting it back with Infernal Preigniter. This way it just seems... stupid. That upgrade is close to worthless and it would make sense, since Hellions and Hellbats are basically same units. I'm primarily a muta player as a zerg admittedly, so I always thought swarm hosts just spawned a single locust like they did some time ago. | ||

And the wait & see approach seems just fine to me at this point. more than 50% of the new units / spells / mechanics aren't exploited correctly by players anyway. | ||

I also liked his point about maybe increasing the mobility of swarm host a little bit. Then we would probably see a little bit more of this unit. | ||

Tanks see only TvT play basically despite having a free upgrade now. Admittedly TvZ and PvZ are a bit better now with some more action going on. TvP however is hardly improved, it's even more an all-in or defend game for P now with the occasional guessing game of oracles vs widow mines. TvP in general, ZvZs mutafest and skytoss in ZvP could use some tweaking. Inevitable the medivac will gain a small nerf too, I guess the speedboost will just get a longer cooldown or something. I know of at least a few GM players who go exclusively mech in TvP and do extremely well. Thor/Hellbat is an extremely strong core army to hit timings with. The problem with mech is that you have to know what you're doing to get the army you need and make use of it, it's not spammable the same way bio is. Bio is versatile enough that you can make it work without your build being precise. If you try to play mech without having everything clear in your head, Protoss will roll you with a superior army and Zerg will roll you with a superior economy. | ||

Maybe you want to rephrase that because it sounds barking mad. Pro Terrans are just building random stuff when playing bio right? Christ... | ||

Stop barking dude. He's actually right though he didn't phrase it well. Bio armies are much easier to reproduce, much more mobile and scale best with great micro skills. Mech armies require more carefull play, better positionning and take better advantage of timing attacks. That's all | ||

You select a random single game in which Zerg goes an awful 3-bases infests into ultras build with zero anti-air on a giant map; Zerg gets partially dismantled by multi-pronged drops just like it could have been the case in WoL (Bogus vs Stephano, Whirlwind, first game from the last season comes to mind) → "TvZ could turn into a drop fest and that could be really dull/annoying"? Missing something in your thought process here. | ||

That's all He was talking about the build and how precise it has to be, not army management and game plans. "barking mad" is an expression, telling someone he is barking is an insult. | ||

Mech is fine, players just need to explore it more. I think more simcity and ravens along with your ground mech units might have potential. | ||
