I have a feeling that Medivacs might still not be strong enough and in this case should get +100 hp. The new upgraded Overlords should also be able to use Nydus or at least be able to burrow move. The Disruptor should morph into a flying Reaver after it goes Nova. These changes would totally balance the game and would solve the economy issues. I should work for Blizzard..

The only way to not fall behind economically while playing macro is playing mutas yourself. In HotS you would counter that by getting a better army with roach/hydra/infestor which forced the other player to also play roaches, but with lurkers you can just counter that. And then lurkers force lurkers, so you mirror each other, just that as I said, the muta player has a mapcontrol and economical advantage. And I feel like it was this way before the spore change already. Now you have to commit even harder to antiair which means an even weaker economy in comparison to the muta player. oh, and if they don't find a balance where it is possible to play without mutas against medivacs I'm not going to play LotV. I'm more than fed up with playing the same style since 2010 minus that 1year break of actually being allowed to play infestors. It's not fun anymore (and the reason why I haven't touched HotS in months). | ||

The muta player always had map control and better economy. Isn't that what is supposed to happen? Hydras and lurkers are the powerful slow army, mutas are fast and mobile. | ||

Big J it sounds to me like you're saying it's relatively unchanged, but now mutas are actually a viable possibility as well in a certain point in the game. The muta player always had map control and better economy. Isn't that what is supposed to happen? Hydras and lurkers are the powerful slow army, mutas are fast and mobile. Right now I don't see the "powerful, slow army" being viable at all. You get no real army advantage from not opening mutas, due to the heavy commitment you need in antiair. While giving up mapcontrol and allowing your opponent to get ahead in the economy and often also the army tech, as you need to delay lurkers for more hydras and possibly even infestors. I believe that opening mutas was already advantegous, but with the increased commitment you need for antiair now and the increased delay in lurkers it feels like the muta into lurker player just gets everything: economy, mapcontrol, harass, army. Maybe not upgrades, but they aren't that important with lurkers. | ||
