IMO Queens also have potential vs Bio TvZ. Ensnare can be very powerful against MnM as Jaedong showed vs Fantasy on Sin Chupung-Ryeong.

You won't get rolled. Once you try to control two groups of mutas scourge throw off your ability to manage APM which creates the viability to transition into Queens. Once they ensnare one of the muta flocks the APM demanded to play is reduced which puts you in a better mental and physical condition to close out the game or play the extended one.

The reduction on APM demand is well worth the risk.

I'm not saying you'd be rolled when you have 20 mutalisks + queen v 25 mutalisks.

I'm saying you'd be rolled in the 3 minutes it takes you to get a queen out. This would work if you have a lead (in which case, why would you not crush the other guy?), or if the air distance between the two bases is huge, or if your opponent is ridiculously passive (which in a zvz would be... not a single progamer).

Why not crush the other guy? Because you suck at muta scourge micro like Great. Great had a BO win against hydra in G1 of their finals, but decided to turtle up till hive tech and get queens out.

I think the biggest factor as to why queens will not cause a revolutionary meta-game shift is because of it's unreliability.
