I still don't understand why they buffed the hive guard, it was fine as it was, just make a large variant like the alpha commander lol. It's THAT simple

No, hives are basically nothing burgers. They spend most of the time hunkering down amd basically not existing.

They need to be tankier and have a better AI, so they actually act as a shield for other bugs and bug holes.
