I had a similar idea, but a bit less drastic. Make Swarm Host require Hydralisk Den instead of Infestation Pit. Everyone loves Infestors because Fungal, so they'd get the Pit even if it wasn't tied to Lair. Now it also gives Swarm Host. That's a huge buff. If the Hydralisk Den gave Swarm Host instead, then players could get the Den for either the Hydra or Swarm Host, and receive the other gratis, buffing the Hydralisk without really buffing the Swarm Host.

Yes, a lot of players on TL are suggesting that Swarm Host should come from Hydralisk Den, because right now, Infestation Pit gives you Swarm Hosts, Infestors and open up a Hive tech. A bit too much.
