The new part would be that Marauders can't slow Broodlords anymore

Except that both Ultralisks and Broodlords are in addition massive units.

And, well, Marauders don't shoot up.

Maybe this has already been suggested somewhere, but I thought of just making the Swarm Host spawn times slowly become a little bit longer between every time since you burrowed them.

That way, they need some microing and you can't just leave them in the same place to infintely spawn units (because eventually the rounds will be so slow). Even if you want to keep them in one place, you have to re-burrow them after each spawning round, which would mean technically they could be used in the exact same way they are now in those stalemate games, but for it to be effective you would have to really be quite good at macroing.

Even in SH vs SH it would mean one person could gain an advantage by microing their SH better so the spawning rounds are always on point, so to say.

I really hope they remove SH in LotV, Zerg really need a T3 Unit with Missile Attacks. Playing Zerg in Lategame so boring, zero diversity.

If only corruptors weren't quite so bad, Zerg could actually go up against late game Toss armies.

Vipers are a good unit I feel, but they just augment the Roach/Hydra midgame in which you have to do a lot of damage. Zerg need some kind of other robust lategame unit for LoTV to ever go toe-to-toe late game without relying on midgame damage/SH and static D/massive Muta switches

While I would never advocate a return to the dark days, current ZvP really showcases just how many holes that the Infestor was filling in latter-day WoL.

Other than Broodlords and Vipers? Because that's like 2 out 3 of their Hive tech units.

I want SH redesign, thats really cool unit with cool design and average idea and not that boring like roaches, corruptors or ultralisks.

Zergs need something specially and interestingly redone with Overseer, nydus and corruptor.

Maybe make corruptor as aerial ultralisk, since corruptors already have claws. Something, like charge at target and deal massive amount of damage, but suicide or something like that. Remember StarCrafts Season 2 ending, when corruptor flied through carrier? Something like that can be awesome.

And I want that Creeper Nydus, looks really cool

Does this also mean we can't lockdown Broodlords? And what about Ensnare! Irradiate also glitches movement--sooo OP!

Looks really strange and a bit weird, sorry. Constantly burrowing and unburrowing can be kinda annoying

oh sorry, that is just the attack animation of SHs. They aren't even unburrowed as far as I have tested. I guess I gotta play with that actor a little to turn that off, it looks really shitty.

I actually just wanted to point at the projectile concept and the rough idea of the direction of its stats.

So they are looking to get the Hellion/Hellbat and Broodlord change out asap. That's nice.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Is this accurate? Will Broodlords gain extra damage in addition to CC immune? (or do Broodlords technically do zero dmg and the broodlings do all the dmg)

This ability has been removed from the game before release!


Frenzy is a passive ability and doesn't give extra damage (Broodlord shots do deal damage on impact, before the Broodlings spawn). Broodlords will be CC immune (only affects fungal I think) and can't be abducted. Also means Ultras now can't be abducted, since Frenzy got changed.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
