tank boring, what? blasphemy.... roach are ten time more boring 1a units
Imho roach should cost 1 supply 100hp/3 range and same dps as now, but with a passive ability in his attack(like the devourer)

It's tough to 1a roaches unless you're far ahead. Their short range makes it so you need to get in close, so you have to dash into stalkers or thors, split versus tanks, and be very careful not to get fungaled out of range versus infestor roach...

When SC2 first came out, I hated the roach, refused to use it for a very very long time as it didn't feel very 'zergy' to me. A moderately high health, supply heavy unit isn't what I was used to playing with as zerg. as time went on the roach began to sneak his way into my play no matter how much i hated seeing it there. I would not mind if the roach was removed from the game, however I'm not sure what unit would ahve to be put in place (or changed) to accommodate for the role that the roach served

Just becouse you find roaches boring and state it like a fact in OP dosn't exactly means all do find it same way. If you want em to be fun play like that. Do drops with em, burrow em in opponent's base after droping, do attacks in many places at once.

Removing roaches would also fuck up EVERY matchup as it's CORE UNIT.

Every matchup is going to get fucked up anyways in hots, so why not change around with the units while we're at it? A unit should not be cheap, tanky, easily massable, burrow, move while burrow, really fast regen and high dps all in one. All its missing is "flying" and "shoot up", which considering the weak air units in this game isn't really an issue. I think the roach is a cool concept, but it needs to put in a more spesific role, and not just a unit you can mass 100% every game and it will work against everything.
