This is a insane change to be dropping on the players right now.
Maybe if they wait till WCS season ends.

it's not like they're adding this. this is a test to see if these are the appropriate steps into improving the metagame. It won't be a while until we actually see what changes will/won't be made, if any.

Wow changing a mechanic is risky, and requires loads of internal testing.

I am impressed Blizzard realized there might be a problem with swarmhosts, but this reaction is quite drastic. I think simpler nerfs like movement speed or time to burrow could balance swarmhosts.

Can someone explain to me this change to SH. Is there any change to the strength of locusts or the number produced? I know they added the flying T3 upgrade, but besides that and the fact the locusts can be made while unburrowed, is there another change to the strength or costs of SH?

The new Swarm Host will need a lot of balancing and numbers tweaking considering it's pretty much a new unit now. Ideally they shouldn't implement these changes until at least the end of the first season.

Dno if because it works in the LotV build, it will work in HotS. But DAMN IT if it isn't worth the TRY!!!
Looking forward to this.

lol you guys, i adapt to what's strong, it's not coincidence that i play swarm host right now and if it doesn't work anymore i'll do something else. winning is winning and learning how to win is becoming less and less of a problem to me as time goes on

as for the patch itself i don't have too many thoughts of it besides RIP brood lord, most neglected Z unit in the game just became even more useless.

Flying Locusts, even if they can't attack while in the air just seems WAY too strong. Part of how Terran and Protoss are able to deal with the Swarm Hosts is killing them from long range. How are they suppose to do that now?

Im sad, swarmhost was one of my favorite units and one of the very few cost effective unit zerg has, they will probably become "useless" like the infestor, and zerg players will have to play whit garbage ground units until hive again!!

But if they nerf Tempest to compensate for the nerfs to the other two chief perpetrator turtle units, maybe that will help bring BLs back into the fold.
