Everything killing turtle play and Swarmhost abuse is (mostly) good ;D There's nothing inherently wrong with turtle play as a concept. It's a good thing for the game that it's possible. The issue is that turtle play is too strong on some maps, and certain units completely ruin the concept. The swarm host, for example, is the most cost efficient unit in the game if used correctly by a massive amount. Ignore the free units part, that's not relevant. What is relevant is that if you consider the units they spawn an attack, the swarm host has the longest range of any unit in the game, stalls enemies that try to approach it, and they are burrowed making the ability to attack them non-trivial to obtain. They do a ton of damage, can't be broken head on, and they're too powerful. Swarm hosts are basically burrowed tanks with twice to three times the range and do enough damage that they can wipe out entire armies that try to push into them. That's the problem with them. | ||
