I introduced the "Synapse (x)" idea in my latest releases in an attempt to limit swarms from getting "too big".

With the introduction of the "Instinctive" (or some other semi-breaking) mechanic, is this limit still necessary?

Have people found it a hindrance or benefit?  Thoughts from both Bug players and opponents would be great!

It's a right pain in the ****. :D  Get rid of it. It's an unwieldy mechanic that is not needed with instinctive or whatever mod of instinctive we come up with.

I can take it or leave it. The big worry I've had is snipers killing off my Warriors and big parts of my swarms disappearing.

There have been several major mechanical changes discussed and tested in various combinations.

At this point, I think the most important thing would be to take your best shot at choosing the best combination and let it sit long enough to collect a decent pool of data.
