As a viewer, lover of the game, and rational human being. The roach is fine and IMO it fits the zerg quite well, and will be interesting to see if its use changes a bit in HoTS. | ||

A speed roach has movement speed of 4 on creep.....almost as fast as speedlings. As far as i am aware 2 roaches beat any equivalent of 150/50 ressource army of the opponents, which makes them a very boring a-move unit in most of the cases. Forcefields.. in numbers make roaches laughable | ||

Wait, but aren't immortals the counter to marauders and roaches? No, everyones just makes more roaches and maraders when they see immortals. | ||

Removed entirely and replaced with a new HOTS unit (40) Keep as is (38) Keep but swap tiers with Hydras (and rebalanced accordingly) (19) Keep but changed (1 supply etc.) (16) 113 total votes Your vote: Should the roach stay? (Vote): Keep as is The plurality of the people want the roach to stay as is. Small sample, but what-evs. | ||

 No seriously, I like it at early game against hellions. Roachling is really fun to play for me, feels very swarmy. | ||

to be fair... the roach right now is a core Z unit and if it is removed.... major rebalancing of all matchups needs to happen..... | ||

We could go back and forth about trivialities that don't matter, what matters is how a game progressed that makes the roach better than the sentry or vice versa. | ||

HOTS is not out yet, not even Beta so you can't say anything about what the game will look like. Many one line posts in the thread about changing the stats of this unit or that, remove this or that... I thought they were frowned upon on TL. Basically, you guys are making(proposing) huge changes to the game without giving a good reason why your idea will be an improvement over the status quo. | ||
