You have 2 options vs swarm hosts:

go air

counter


The best responses I've seen have been a combination of void/colossi or void/storm in terms of easily breaking the contain.

DT drops work well. Swarm hosts get seiged up, drop some zealots or DTs at their base and giggle.
Other options include anything that flies, colossi, or storms. Once you break the first contain you'll usually roll through their army and get to kill some bases so it's really about knowing they're coming, preparing and not losing your cool, then attacking with a reasonable gateway buffer and some observers on top of your splash damage units.


swarmhost builders know that oberserver come, its just a matter of when, spore are waiting for them.
a spore is usefull in main also, to prevent phoenix overlord harass
what does a dt add?
yes, a zealot base assult sounds better.

splash damage units nn stealth vision to damage swarmhosts

a swarmhost push whitout creep and spore, should be ezz contained

here a series of screenshots, to show:
nn resorces to slay them all
the safest spot on map = proxy hatchery, my Lair is safer there then between 3 allie players.






+/-
11.025tommyvv resorces / (11.025+18.775+21.250+29.000)allies = 13.77% of my team's resorces are gettered bye tommyvv
thats 55% from avarage

11.025 / (19275+14830+10550+5525)opponent = 21.97% of my opponents team total resorces are gettered bye tommyvv,

408 kills made bye my team, 136kills bye me=33.3%

13.77%resorces to slay 33.33% bye me
or (100-13.77)/3 to slay 66.66%/3 = 28.74%resorces to slay 22.22% bye rest of team

33.33/13.77=2.42
22.22/28.74=0.77

2.42/0.77*100% = 314% resorces efficientcy from tommyvv compared to winning teammates
its platina 4vs4, for the ones who care!
