It's like PF spam in TvZ mech vs SH, the Reality vs whoever game was a fun one timer but what if it happened often? Would we watch ravens and floating buildings and waves of locusts do nothing for 1H30? | ||

How about transitioning into air? Or abusing the lack of mobility of SH by running zerglings into his base? There's a reason why we don't see SH vs SH in high level games (Proleague); because SH is not really a good unit in ZvZ. | ||

all it takes is for just ONE extremely long match like this to ruin a LAN's schedule (people begin to leave because the game is boring, taking too long, getting late, etc), imagine if they have more than one? LAN would never end | ||

Though this is obviously really sad and something needs to be done to the Swarm Host and even though both are treated the same, one player might've just invested twice as much practice in using Swarm Hosts than the other player... | ||

There's a reason why we don't see SH vs SH in high level games (Proleague); because SH is not really a good unit in ZvZ. Very map dependent. On certain maps, what you describe is absolutely doable. On others, there really is no way to break entrenched SH turtles. Zerg air just gets murdered by spores and vipers. The reason you don't see SH in ZvZ at that level is because of a different meta compared to EU, and also because if you scout your opponent rushing to SH you can often just go and kill him. Once it's established, it's virtually unbreakable. | ||

 #ManaFireCakeNeverForgetOn a serious note though, there WAS a remake before they made this ruling. The first game went for 2hr+ before a remake was called, after an hour in the remake the EXACT same situation occurred. | ||

I know, how about we give BLs pre tempest nerf range upgrade. And instead of broodlings, it shoots warhounds. | ||

I think madals and pengwin should've been banned rather than swarmhosts | ||

4.11. Draws & Stalemates If a player deliberately plays for a stalemate, administrators hold the right to decide the outcome of the game. If there is a natural stalemate the game will be replayed. he was deliberately trying to cause a stalemate both games, he could never win game 1 or game 2 but i was still mining and trying my best to stop him from doing this but nothing worked, he had a chance the first game and it was a rematch but he did the same game 2 i think it was fair what they did. | ||

Just to note, Swarmhosts were not banned, and are not banned at iSeries. An administrative decision was made after a re-game due to a natural stalemate, that in the second game Miniraser was in a position where he was playing for another re-game and, given the stated rules regarding such actions (especially with specific time restraints) that the map win would be awarded to his opponent. Miniraser was understandably frustrated, and took those frustrations first to the admins and then to Twitter. | ||
