It does sound Protoss more than Zerg.

So the banes load into the holes of the swarm host and launch from them like a cannon, that would be one way to make a bane catapult work. That would look hilarious imo.

Let's get real. Terran gets wraiths back. The zerg sound is the death from spider mines that wraiths can lay now.

It's not like Protoss can't be infested, and that the HotS campaign didn't strongly point out that Protoss and Zerg DNA are incompatible.

I mean, that would be preposterous.

Also, I've seen "Baneling Catapult" posted like 1000 times so far. How would a "Baneling Catapult" make its appearance in the Protoss expansion, like, ever?

they added terran and protoss units for the "zerg expansion" soooo....

But you wouldn't hype the expansion with off-race units. And a Baneling Catapult sounds like nothing we'd see in multiplayer.

Would they actually put in the Reaver?

I sure hope that they do.

Something gets launched and the sound after that is a baneling exploding. It's a baneling catapult.

With the tons of exhibition matches scheduled. LotV is not even a question. Why would they diminish the number of WCS matches to make 4 more hours of exhibition matches

Oh, yeah, didn't thought about that. LotV showmatches would be sick. Too bad it's at ridiculous hours for us europeans.


I don't care. Bought virtual ticket :p


Do you need the ticket to see the showmatches? I don't really care for the other stuff and WCS matches are already free.


I don't think so. I think everything is free in lower quality. But you have the instant replay with the ticket in full HD (like i can pause the stream, go to sleep wake up and hit play and it will continue). I don't know if it's avaialable for free though

Looks like some zerg artillery (maybe like the ones in the first mission on Char in Wol, but smaller, and that can move? Equivalent of the guardian of BW but as a ground unit? I'd so much prefer this over SH as zerg siege unit).

Well, as we all know zerg needs a new artillery unit.

Perhaps they could get rid of the Swarm Host for LotV.



incontrol stated that blizzard is looking into replacing the swarmhost with a similair but different and less boring unit in LOTV.


On stream? And I hope he's correct. Zerg needs something LIKE the swarm host but it needs to be changed up. Good move Blizzard

If this SH replacement is a long-range artillery unit I'm a bit scared of what it's going to be tbh. I feel like the SH could stay in the game with a rework to make it a more mobile, less range unit.


I had the idea of somehow making it so that the swarm host can't stay burrowed in the same area for a long period of time. Would force a bit more mobility and thought when using them. Perhaps make it so that after say 3 rounds they can't make locust in that spot anymore for 5 minutes. Would help.

If you want to go that route it would be better to have slower spawn times on locusts over a period of burrowed time.

I actually like that as an idea. It would make games a bit more dynamic.


This is a good idea. Seems like it would be hard to find a balancing point tho.

On a side note: do you think this will be the first expansion were units get replaced, because the grid for building zerg units from larvae is allready full with 9 units, or will the new units be morphed from other units? Or maybe the UI gets changed to fit more units, what do you think?

They are probably going to be removing/greatly reworking swarm hosts so that's 1, other than that I'd guess they come from morphing. I can't see them changing the interface, since blizzard is so afraid of scaring off casuals with changes.

actually I don't think it's a zerg, it's their first reveal and it's more likely to be a protoss unit

I think apart from a potential removal of the SH, it will be from morphing for zergs, I don't see why they would remove other units (except the corruptor. BLIZZARD PLEASE REWORK THAT DAMNED CORRUPTOR). And morphing is a mechanism that is very unique to Zerg, so going this way is probably what they'll favor

Hopefully they'll replace SH with Lurkers if they decide to put them back in the game :b

I am just waiting for the MUTAlisk to morph into something again.
Larva into corruptor is meh, but I guess it is/was required, because Blizzard is too stubborn to put in scourge.

Hoping to see hydralisks or even roaches morph in LotV.

Last chance, Blizzard.
Surprise me.
