That being said, I wouldn't let that stop you from going mech. I throw in an old WoL mech build every once in a while and it still works in low masters. | ||

All that being said, Turtle mech into split map can be good if you're cost effecient with tanks, ravens etc. but those games are guaranteed to be like at least 45 mins if the players are somewhat equal in the game and in skill. While I enjoy those games once in a blue moon, I could not do it every game. I could however do pre hive timings all the time but swarmhosts shut those down pretty well. | ||

Also the Swarm Host was supposed to be a unit that provided Zerg with a way to end games they had a lead in. So much for that, it is has turned out to the be a turtle unit. | ||

Seriously, though, every time I see Mvp mech (like the game against Stephano in WCS EU S1), I get giddy with excitement and scream a little bit.  As a sidenote: I think that 1) until the map pool changes some, mech is really only any good on Akilon and 2) HotS mech kind of revolves around hellbat drops. Otherwise, 4M is WAY easier to play. | ||

At Code S level Bio is vastly superior if you have the mechanics due to the the new units Terran has been given + Medivac and the fact Zergs 2 new units are basically anti-mech in their nature. I think if a Terran goes Mech v Zerg he needs a plan to transition into Raven, Viking, Battlecruiser or suffer a slow death to Swarmhost\Viper. You also have to factor in the time of each game, would players and audiences really put up with slow moving slug feasts on a regular basis. Blizzard clearly wants to go in the direction of Bio for action packed 15 - 20 min games | ||

Basically any map that is good for Mech is good for bio as well. I don't think there is to put any blame on maps. It's Vipers in general the combo Viper+Swarmhost and that bio is just way easier to play to begin with - maybe not mechanically but overall in terms of gameplan, setup, opportunities to win, combackpotential after a major mistake etc, etc. | ||
