Ya now toss can feel what its like to be spine rushed (since toss can do cannon). They will see why zergs get so angry :D

Zerg get canon rushed in the early game, Protoss Spine pushed in the lategame, no need for early Spinecrawler shenanigans

sure zerg deserves some stuff like that but its more complicated then that. protoss only race that has to tech (mini tech to core) to get mobile anti air to deal with puking overlords.

core is done before a spine rush can start besides its a new games hard to say how mothership core will affect wall offs

What's going to be nice is hiding tech buildings is going to be easier. Protoss/terran have always been able to hide their tech away from their main/natural if they choose to and most zergs won't scout it (on bigger maps). Now zerg can do the same :D
it'll be nice but anything worth hiding is at lair tech, no? i guess you could hide a roach or bling nest but if T/P scouts evo chamber, he'll know something is up.

oh i agree just saying theres more to early rush balance then saying once race can do this why cant other race do same

Speaking of spine rushes, I wonder...if I spine rush a Toss player's front door as he tries to FFE, can the Mothership Core reach far enough to stop me from raping is wall?
I'm so excited to find out.

Yeah that's what I mean in terms of if you want to do a roachling/bling bust or something you can hide the roach warren/bling nest which makes it so one scan won't necessarily show terran what's going on.
But I forgot about mothership core. I expect some annoying new cheeses in hots beta lol.
I am going to laugh when a toss player proxies a nexus and does a mothership core rush or something silly (obviously won't be at pro level I imagine but I would be shocked if I didn't face at least one toss on ladder who didn't do this)

well...if a siege tank (13 range) can reach it while kissing a cc at natural then a mothership core can (13 range)

It won't work, because if he uses purify you can pick up your spine crawlers and leave as you wait for the purify ability to time out. It's only a good idea if you combine it with units to attack the uprooted spine crawlers, but with a forge expand there won't be so many units.

Really? I mean, zerg have been dealing with bunker, cannon, and spine crawler rushes since the beginning. While I don't think spine crawler rushes are going to become commonplace, if they did I can't imagine how that would be any worse than any of the other static defense rushes.

It's overpowered because Protoss doesn't have anti-air early enough to kill an Overlord before it starts spewing Creep. Further, even if you kill the Overlord, it takes a full minute for the Creep to fully dissipate. It would make FFEing literally impossible, which is extremely stupid since it would require almost no investment from the Zerg player.

Yup. All the other zergs that are claiming there won't be any balance issues stemming from this are biased as fuck. I've been playing Z since season one and I'm as jaded as they come but its painfully obvious that OL creep drop on hatch tech is going to cause some problems.

Yeah. I mean, I know Cannon rushes can be annoying, but at least they only punish greedy play like Hatch first (and even then, not always). This would be a completely risk-free way to pretty much win the game or cause the Protoss to get way behind.

don't forget about the mothership core. That will reach the spine crawlers I believe and thus be defend able if you make the core at the natural nexus.
Right now it's all theory talking so should be interesting. If it is to strong it will be nerfed, if not then it'll stay simple as that

Ugh. I guess this means it's over for the carrier.
I'm assuming everyone saw the battle report? Remember that time that the mech army got caught out without enough anti air vs 4 tempests? Imagine if that had been 4 carriers (and carriers aren't even considered good).
And then ask yourself... why are carriers being replaced by a unit that is even worse.
Oh well.

just complete the wall before the OV can get there and its problem solved
now PvZ is equal on both sides, we cant hatch first becasue youll pylon block and you cant nexus first because well creep block the wall
