I would argue it's almost a certainty. Possibly. | ||

It is already in the patch, didn't you see it? "Broodlords can now land and when they have landed they can only attack air units. We are considering changing the name of the unit to Leveragelords" | ||

You should really work on reducing your likelihood, and cut back on your probability problem. In all seriousness, I expect further Zerg buffs to come in the next few months. This just doesn't strike me as a viable patch, based on what little we've seen of its games. | ||

protoss can now play a happy defensive style because they have nothing left to fear in the zerg lategame. just lots of sentries, and then whatever you want. win game | ||

Which is a shame, because this will absolutely destroy late-game ZvP. Zerg will have to end the game with the first push or just die to deathball. idk if you have watched a ZvP recently... A good amount of the games I have seen were actually Roach/Hydra/Viper or similar combinations that did not require a Swarmhost transition. And Zerg won pretty comfortably even when they did not manage to kill Protoss with their first push. Heck I have even seen Zerg win with Broodlords in lategame ZvP. I don't think it will have a significant negative impact on ZvP winrates, especially in combination with the Viper buff. | ||

Interested in the viper change mostly. TBH I'm kind of bummed about the SH because I never went for stallmate with them, but the current version going to make it harder to punish cannon rush lol | ||

When he first played them on his stream in LotV he thanked blizzard for essentially removing the swarm host. Who knows what's going on in his head. | ||

About the SH, I like to think that it's Protoss + Terran (66%) approve and Zerg (25%) disapprove (+ non-dirty Zerg 9% no opinion). But it's probably a little more complicated. | ||
