They only announced they were rolling it out ahead of schedule yesterday, and not everyone keeps up with this stuff every day. I saw people surprised at the balance patch notes despite there being a playable version out there for literally months at this point.

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


I know but I feel bad for you guys trust me although turtle swarm host was boring as can be. Now of co u rse can't beat turtle toss which sucks trust me.
When I think of something else, something will go here

And here comes trying lazy kids who are lazy to practice new strategies and would rather be stuck at WoL 1.0 patch again ^^

More tears pls


I've always been an advocate of trying before complaining, but I am somewhat puzzled as to how Zergs will efficiently combat Protoss late-game after this patch. It's very possible that I'm too possible and the Zerg messiah will work something out, but it does seem like a tough hit to endure for the Zerg late-game.

yeah, soO is pretty good at playing without hosts


zerg messiah = snute

soO is in a dark slump. He's done


BBBAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAH.....

I love snute as much as the next guy, and as a statement I can't take this seriously at all. Snute as achieve about 1/100th of what soO has managed? maybe... ?

And again, I love Snute.

You must be fishin for some comments fired back

*Also, does anyone else think its ridiculous that you need to upgrade the flying locusts?

Aren't SH just complete trash without that upgrade? basically unusable as far as i can tell... in other words it should be free.

Maybe they should just make them fly and only make them attack air. Then also remove the Corruptor..

I guess the Raven Downgrade is against stalemate situations in lategame TvZ, if T plays mech.
However, this makes mass Ravens useless I guess. Will be interesting how this will impact the game. Guess more allins by the terran or less mech

What should they do in your opinion?
I find them kinda annoying: too much randomness: most of the times they do little damage, sometimes they have the gamechanging killing blow. Has often nothing to do with skill, and is a Unit that can be removed and replaced by something different. But then Terran needs better tools to deal with some parts of the game.

Oh boy, time for the re-emergence of Skytoss in team games... as usual Blizz giving absolutely zero fucks about anything other than 1v1

Love the SH change though!

If I don't see this being abused in one way or another tomorrow in the 3 ZvT Bo5s I'd be very disappointed.

Nope you can release them without being burrowed and just keep on trucking.

Okay so the Zerg race's strength is about building a big economy and bank, maxing out and attacking with weaker units and then remaxing quickly to beat their opponents before they can do the same but I see no chance of zergs even reaching the late game with the big economy and bank to beat protoss now that swarm host changes have completely destroyed late game ZvP expect a bunch of 3 base roach, ling, bane and 2 base muta all ins in the months to come just stupid. (And before people criticize me saying i haven't played it enough or try it before you complain I logged over 25 hours on the test map the last week alone so I'm confident as a high masters player in saying I have an informed opinion)
