. The difference is that you do not risk resources,

You risk. SH cost is 200 gas and FOUR supply

Bold moves, protoss air could be an issue with SH change, but in all honesty I'd rather deal with that bullshit than the mass raven garbage we're currently subjected to.

The only thing that could possibly save mech right now is the proposed change in cost and supply; other than that, it makes it that much harder.

Wow. Swarm hosts get nerfed out of existence with this patch (200 gas per swarm host?) At their high supply cost and high spawn locust cooldown I cannot see them being supply-efficient units in any matchup.

GG sc2

the only way this is ok is if you double the supply and take away the upgrades and making then hive units, then maybe its ok


Not entirely worth writing it off immediately because of one game and one situation.

LOL what in the actual fuck are they thinking with the swarm host?? seriously! buff locusts, really!??

i mean ok, swarm hosts will cost more gas, and require more supply, and no auto-cast, BUT the locust dps increased and they now last for 30 seconds, which is longer than the 25 second-lifespan after researching enduring locusts! thank god for the 60-second cooldown on locust spawning. the flying thing is also nuts...as if they weren't strong enough, lets let locusts fly over terrain!

Callllllllllm dowwwwwwn. Deep breaths. Yes, the flying locusts look strong. HOWEVER, spending 1200/2400 and 48 freakin supply leaves you very vulnerable. You may have noticed (in the clip on page 6) the carriers ravaging the rest of zergs bases. Because he was vulnerable. Because he spent all his money on swarmhosts.
Teching to hive too quickly isn't just a risk: it's an ultrarisk

Well... this is an insanely massive buff to my skytoss playstyle. Wouldn't mind seeing a Tempest nerf. Don't really care for the unit anyways.

Either way, I hate SH, whether I use them or play against them (play Random). So happy to hear that. Also good change to Raven PDD, would be nice to see a buff to the cast range or something else to make them more useful vs P.

Sounds like promising changes to shake up some of the stale playstyles we've been seeing

its not just that one time the very first game on the first day of lotv custom it happened to me and ive played a bunch trying mech vs this and its just silly, i mean you don't have to use every idea i said that would be to crazy but its a very strong unit and people will see this and realize this wasn't a good idea. but it doesnt matter people think it is so gl hf everyone.

edit what would really shake the game up and make it better would be to make hydras tier 1 and bam zerg good delete sh nerf raven and tempest there we fix sc2. KAPPA

That begs the question - how the hell is that good unit design? That stinks.

They can fly right into your dreams like Freddy Kruger. They are on top of Mount Olympus with Zues. They are in the pits of hell with Satan and Hitler. They are everywhere. And they can walk up walls even. Be afraid.
