I thought I'd post this here in my TL blog. I made it for the patch 12 thread for a laugh and it went over well with people who commented on it so I thought I'd share it with you all. I made it in about 3 minutes but yeah, today was a bad day to be a roach.

I don't like it, I just can't make roaches in the late game, but it is making me consider ultras in the late game.

Maybe an +1 carapace opening a la BW ZvP.

For me it's both a roach nerf and a ultra buff.

Blizzard is just wanting to make Nony's walk to the finals in the HDH even easier.

Will see how it holds up in competitive play. It definitely was not an expected change, even for me.

IMO putting roach on tier 2 would have been better then making it 2 supply, i liked the roach even though i didn't pick Zerg that often

Watch machine vs qxc last game from yesterday and try to remember that you simply should never make ultras even if its 14 of them.

Actually if you see those games you might give up playing zerg, so probably should just wait for the next patch.

They said they will upload it to their website today. Not sure where it is, someone should know. To sum it up, every game ended somewhat similar - machine takes whole map, completely outmacroing qxc. Then qxc moves out with either mass MMM + ravens or mass tanks., while expoing somewhere. Machine keeps trying to attack it with 200 army around 10-15 times, then his minerals run out. Game where qxc massed tanks in the middle machine attacked with ~15 ultras and everything, it just melted.
