I already wrote that hydra doesnt work on a high level, but stating that using ensnare against muta is hard or doesnt work is just wrong, ensnare is both very good against mutas and very, very easy to use.. its even easier than before because zergs are better at bunching them than before. so _if_ you go hydra, ensnare will help you (additionally, queens can be a lifesaver against lurkers ), but hydra with ensnare is still gonna lose when you go past c+.
ok nevermind i misunderstood some
but if mutas isnt the problem, then you need to make lurkers on your own (spend gas you'd spend on queens on lurkers)
just 2-3 lurkers and you make lings useless.

just to add: i once went zvz pure-crackling vs muta/ling/lurker and thought queens for the rescue!!!, too dumb that ensnare didnt uncloak already burrowed lurkers(really thought it would, guess you can imagine how my face looked like when it didnt)
but on the otherhand mayb you r referring to overlord/broodling (had no lorspeed yet so T_T)
