Not that I like SH, I utterly hate them, but how the fuck is Zerg supposed to fight Toss past the early mid game without them?? Roach/Hydra/Viper falls off so quickly, and I don't think 1 extra range to blinding cloud will make all that much difference there in the end..

Blizzard is doing to the SH the same they did with the infestor: nerfing it to utter uselessness. I mean, come on, Zergs have a lot of harassement (mutas, runbys, bane drops, nydus, etc). Why they are so obsessed with harassement? They try to sell us the new SH as an harassement unit, and come on, 200 vespene gas? Lair tech?

Meh, now ZvP will return to mid-game all-ins. Good work Blizzard, now Protoss will dominate the metagame once again

And nerfed tempests. And buffed Vipers.

Zerg lategame will be fine i think.

I always liked the original SwarmHost, it was a great defensive unit. I'm very sad to see it go. We zergs don't need another micro-y harassment unit.

Of course. You have ravagers and lurkers. Not your problem. Talking about swarm-solidarity...

make Battlecruisers. Tempest are now shit against them and they counter Carriers which are the real problem. That's what I will try at least. This could end up as a nice buff to endgame Mech TvP actually.

queing up!

So they've updated the maps but not added the 2nd ladder season? I'm confused

Not sure I approve of the Viper buff, now there isn't much counter-play to stopping a blindling cloud short of having enough tempests to blast them out of the skies as it will be much harder to get high templar close enough to feedback.

Also RIP zerg late game.

I'm still really worried about Zerg lategame. Basically I think every Zerg but Life will struggle even more with these changes.

are swarmhosts a problem? yes.

but were they an integral part for zergs to deal with late game protoss? yes.

maybe a nerf in damage and spawning time would have helped i think, but this is far overkill imo. broodlords i guess????

yamato one shots it them from 10range. the hard part is preventing the templar fram mass feedbacking, but that's what your tanks and ghosts are for.
