Cons:
- You can't make 20 of it at same time, and, plus, it takes some factory time (you could be building BHs).
- It'll have to burrow before attacks, so it can't be used in a normal battle with the bio/mechball.
- It doesn't have a uniform AoE damage. Something like the Seeker Missile. It'll probalby stacks, but the damge will fall considerably with the radius.
- It'll break Deathballs just like banes.
That's a con?? I think he means "break" in the sense that it'll make them too strong. Imagine a mech Deathball surrounded by Mines. Wtf do you even do against that?
Use recall to punish the terrans positioning. You trade zealots for mines. Take out mines with range units with observers. Storm everything. Zealot bombing etc etc.
Things like this made PvT in Brood War so epic and fun to play.

I'm sure Blizzard will announce when Beta actually goes up, all we have for now is this statement. There's not much point in keeping it secret, after all.

well concidering how i understand how dustin designs his games and have done plenty of research.
Also the fact that they never tend to do directly address problems.
such as infestors funguls root.
or how because blinding clould only effecting bio..... will do nothing against the mech balls and toss deathballs that are soo damn common in HOTS right now.

What do you mean exactly ?
Has the beta (even F&F) started ? Or are they still asking Friends & Family Battle.net e-mails to then send the first invites once the beta starts ?
If the beta had started (even with very few people in it) I think we would know it already, we would see screenshots & infos (I don't think there will be Non Disclosure Agreement for HoTS Beta)

NDA is in effect if its only private in blizzard testing.

Friends and family has in fact recieved keyes, i don't know if they are playing yet though, and since it's nda no one is allowed to talk about it anyways.
The really great part about this is that f&f usually only starts a few days before beta is open to everyone, so expect beta in max a week.

Happened before on world of warcraft, they can test the game but under NDA, that's why it may sound as a mere "theory", but blizz tends to do this.

Blizzard nerfs things because of:
1) pro player feedback
2) stats
3) they watch tournaments themselves.
Ghosts were too powerful, every kid could see this. Infestors: same case. Now creep is spreading too fast, and blizzard nerfs it. Ravens miss something, so blizzard makes them faster.
I don't say that blizzard is always right with their nerfs, but most of the time they actually are.

I would not be suprised if some "neutral", non-competitive professionals, like artosis and Day9, already access to the beta in some way or have been consulted. They are much more in tune with what could be broken or could point out things Blizzard should look out for. I think it is more likley than pros, who seem to have a bad habit of leaking stuff or running their mouth.

I love it when Snowbear posts, because I normally agree with him. Blizzard has done a good job with balance and reacted well to most issues. They are not perfect, but who is(beyond Taeja, that is).

Funguls rooting has to be changed to a slowing spell(still rooting Blink stalkers) for the greater good of SC2
and if zergs AA has problems they can always Unnerf the 2 nerfs the hydralisk got.
