While you could then burrow decoy lings to take up time that would mean that you are reducing your army and a half a control group of Medic Marine would make mince meat of you, Sending scourge to take out the SV's probably wouldn't work either as the idle marines would simply snipe the scourge since there are less zerglings above ground/or if you only have the defiler burrowed then it would be irradiated pretty much straight away before you can even get your scourge to the SV's Well thats my 2 cents | ||

When they click on the unit, they'll know that it's a defiler, unless you have the absolutely ridiculous speed to burrow a zergling on top of your defiler when you see their vessel. I'm not even sure that's possible, as I've never seen progamers do it. Terran would need even more ridiculous speed to click through dozens of units checking to see if they are either zerglings or defilers.. Burrowing units already has the desired effect, I don't think you need to compound this with burrowing zerglings over defilers (which can easily be done btw). I think burrowing zerg units takes away from zerg mobility and its more useful to have a defiler above ground so its ready to cast spells immediately. This is of course my opinion having never used burrow in this way. I think that if progamers did it I would think differently, but I'm not innovative enough to try this kind of stuff out. | ||

Burrowing at an expansion might work if you remember where you put it. But you'll still be forced to place a swarm and to unburrow, and in that case the defiler will die anyway; if it was unburrowed maybe you would be forced to drop that swarm like 5 seconds earlier or something. Which is insignificant, particularly if your main army has its defilers burrowed and you gotta unburrow them to send reinforcements..etc. | ||

I do think that i actually have seen it at least once in a progame, but it seems so obvious and I barely see any negative aspect (except the gas for drop upgrade maybe?). Why isn't it standard yet? | ||

Its been brought up mult times As for not being able to tell, they could just amove over your burrowed lings and kill everything before your defiler can pop up to swarm qq | ||
