thanks to olimoley for getting us the axiom pro opinions!

it's an interesting dilemma that the highest level players are the ones who are typically too busy to play the balance test maps before they come out

haha exactly what i thought
also HuK is funny

Alicia's idea about the the design of flying locust sounds very interesting. Also flying locust only attacks flying units and big units like colossus? I like this design.

Yeah I don't get this, Impact's answers don't make any sense at all.

Always nice to have these, but I disagree with the first sentence, it's not a balance change, it's a design change. And it's not been a while, this is the first time Blizzard does something like this without an expansion. The significance of this can't be overstated, the fact that they are now willing to change the gameplay is huge.

Great read as always, thanks!

Why not ask the best swarm host player on earth, snute ? I think asking these questions people who rarely (or never) play swarmhosts is pretty much useless as they have very little knowledge about the style as people like Snute, targa (or any other eu zergs)

Flying locusts - even longer ranged Broodlords anyone?

Not really, it can only attack once a minute and is almost of zero use in a head on fight. Still I can see what you mean, while I really hope this change works out and it's better than the old SH, it seems like there is just no good place for it in Starcraft.

Why doesn't blizzard reach out to the retired, or eliminated progamers from tournaments that want to participate to test out these changes, otherwise like all the pros said they have to practice for current tournaments. So instead just ask people who aren't involved in the tournament scene that much. Seriously like they could hold a small cash money tournament for the pros that want some incentive. Granted this is money to making their game better, which would lead to their game being more watched.
