Progamers suddenly experiencing difficulties is what forces them to experiment, which usually creates the most interesting games. I daresay Blizzard should do things like this way more often. | ||

Well, I have a few concerns about that. I brought a 400 pages document to prove my point DEFINITELY.

I think it would be better to keep Swarm hosts and Ravens as they are but increase their supply to four. That way Zerg could still use Swarm hosts in the midgame in order to transition to hive, but it would be harder to mass 20+ of them since they would take up a lot of supply. Ravens would remain a good support unit, but less viable when massed since they would take up too much supply. Might as well shake things up instead of making the boring unit more difficult to produce (the boring unit being SH in this case, Ravens are fine). | ||

When you have 15-20 ravens you basically have a button that makes you take ZERO damage!! In what way is that good game play? | ||

Personally I would look to keep the SH identity as a seige unit (least until we get the lurker in LOTV). I would remove the Enduring Locusts Ability, reduce Locust damage and/or attack speed while buffing their health a bit. The idea is to introduce downtime between waves to give the opponent windows of opportunity to counter attack and the damage nerf/health buff will encourage the use of Locusts as a buffer/front line damage sponge that compliments the Zerg army rather than being the entire army. I'm looking at the new SW and think to myself "I want to position these to hit enemy outlying expansions, but if that's the case, why not just use lings that are cheaper and are more mobile?" | ||

There's nothing wrong with taking "zero" damage. Its the way it works. Its static, lasts and long and needs time to acquire energy. It really, really good defensively and rewards a player for not attacking. I think it should just be made for aggressively. Increase raven speed, and decrease pdd duration is the best solution imo (or just replace it with defensive matrix). Also, it feels so good hearing "you basically have a button that makes you take ZERO damage!!" from a zerg player. Finally zerg players everywhere admit that dark swarm was bullshit. Vindication has never felt so good :p | ||

Fight the most boring of fire with, well, a lot of PDDs, as they say. But I'm aware that some False Terrans have been using this boring style of mech without even being provoked into it by boring Zergs, so I won't cast the first stone. Just know that these are False Terrans and betray everything we manly Terrans stand for. | ||

I like Valve way of breaking DotA's meta regularly this way. I'm not a DotA expert, but DotA's approach to asymmetry involves everyone having access to the same large number of heroes and then rotating through in the pick/ban/pick/ban system for people to get heroes. This means, at the very least, people need to be competent with multiple heroes and that significant patches will force people to adapt but are less likely to leave people or teams only competent with underpowered tools. On the other hand, the top level of SC and SC2 emphasise total mastery of one particular race, out of only three choices, and so significant patches are very liable to leave a large segment of players stuck with an underperforming race until the next patch comes along. It would be a buff to random players, though, and we all know random needs a buff  Has anyone tried the changes? I'm away from my SC2 computer at the moment, I'm curious about how people find them. | ||
