SC2 patch idea - Zerg balance

Talked this over with some teammates last night.

Some of us think that zerg should need to make an overlord (in addition to the first one they spawn with) before making a spawning pool.

It only makes sense since terrans have to make a supply depot and protosses have to make a pylon.

Then i can scout on 14 every single game and not worry about fending off 6 zerglings every game on steppes of war or scrap station before I can wall or get a zealot out.

I believe this will greatly balance the game, and that it will make zerg as balanced as the other races.

well you know if a certain 2 players in korea were Protoss instead of zerg, they would be seriously promoting this idea to blizzard.

Except that one of them IS protoss and they actually back their points up with logic unlike you, and there's no logic to be had in this particular argument.

You SERIOUSLY think Artosis plays protoss?? SERIOUSLY??? Thats a big joke. Playing 20 games of a race doesnt give you enough to seriously discuss them in a balance perspective.. Especially someone whos going into it being biased for zerg already (i mean, thats the whole reason Artosis switched races wasnt it? he cant play zerg strong enough so he had to play Protoss and is still losing with them)

Seriously.. Actually LEARN to play zerg, instead of just crying "omg artosis says zerg sucks, therefor I wont even play".. THAT is the sole reason for zergs outside of Korea doing so poorly. Zergs in Korea, outside of Idra.. are PERFECTLY FINE.. Nestea is just about the strongest player in all of korea other than MVP.

I play random, and for the few games I play a week (under 20 due to work).. I never have any trouble vsing 3000+ masters players on ladder. Doesnt matter which map, doesnt matter if its ZvT or ZvP, I find a way to win. All it takes is brains. There is NO matchup that is an "instant-loss" in this game, not even close.

Well it was either this or have it so that they restrict building a spawning pool for 5 minutes into the game just like trading is restricted in team games.

This just seemed like it wouldn't hurt zerg at all but instead, BENEFIT those who play the race especially with their supply - since they usually deprive themselves of an overlord for a while if they go for a zergling rush.

Seems reasonable. I never knew that I could make a spawning pool before an overlord anyways.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

Artosis switched to Protoss a while back and currently does not play Zerg. You are uninformed and illogical. You're the only one doing any QQ or complaining. YOU are the one who made a snide comment and backed it with no logic or reasoning.

Sorry but you do not "find a way to win". You lose just as often, like almost everyone. You do not have a 100% win record and you are not playing on anywhere near a level that Artosis plays.

Keep trollin', though.

Nice first post ^
IMO Zerg should have to build 18 drones before pool, that'll stop the cheese in it's tracks :D

WHOOOOOOOSH

Personally, I think it would help more if only 1 zergling came out per egg.
Perhaps we should lower the dps of zerglings too - it's a tad cheesy atm!

I feel that zerg dosent need a buff vs cols

I gave it allot of thought and came to the conclusion that if cols could damage there own units with there aoe, it would kind of restrict the number of cols they would want to make for fear of surrounds, drops (anything to get the splash to damage his units as well) ect.

burrowed roaches, infested terrans, would both be a reasonable approach

I believe it would fix allot of issues in pvsp and zvsp

And force toss to work on another source of tech strategy with or without there cols, once players find ways to explore this change. I don't feel its really a nerf
Why don't we see who is the wizard and play some one on one, I think you'll find me sympathetic to ya when I've won, It seems you've got the brawn to beat me if this was all it takes, But I've got skills to pay the bills and punish each of your mistakes.
