I don't even know what to do half the time because there's literally nothing to do xD I felt quite the opposite. 3 hatch before pool (and don't look back!) and you will have plenty to do in no time. edit: I macro hatched at base too. xD | ||

TimeSpiral was a Magic: The Gathering block, where Tarmogoyf was considered to be a marquis card, and I'm a little bored at work. Also it's early in the morning. ^__^ On August 21 2015 23:46 Deathstar wrote: When you unlock charge tech, zeolots should get on a psi-horse, and when they're charging, you see a psi-lance come out as they charge in.

Everyone knows that I have no passion. It's such a part of me that pretty girls at parties even can tell. | ||

(produce an immortal in game, maybe on low settings, to understand) Otherwise the warp-in change really sucks at least aesthetically and elegance wise. Don't tell me all those circles aren't confusing. Haven't played enough to have an opinion about the other changes, but removal of chrono does not feel so strange. Autocast is stupid per se, but the toning down of macro mechanics is a step in the right direction, most definitely. Just have hatcheries produce slightly more larvae, lairs and hives producing at a higher rate, and encourage Z players to have macro hatches. Creep, transfuse, and early air/ranged defence are enough of an incentive for any Z player to get queens without that dumb autocast thing. Yeah I think that's some sort of bug, hilarious to watch though. 3/4 zergs in Ro4 for the latest LotV smilecup. Mostly talks about the state of PvZ though, not enough terrans participating in general. | ||

You wouldn't see that before the changes bc both players would have to pull back to safely split. That said, it would be a nightmare to cast the same kiting micro over and over for 3 minutes lol | ||

I'd prefer removed inject with higher larvae spawning by default or by upgrade or something just for the fact that it wouldnt feel so lame lol would be kinda cool though, making hatcheries and then morphing them into some specialized larvae lounge The medievac change sounds plain annoying, theres too much speed going on for too long somewhere there imo, remember when people actually praised a good drop player? (WoL gumiho for example) | ||

(WoL gumiho for example) The problem is that adjusting the hatches to produce the larva you "need" would be wildly OP. Spawn Larva was already wildly OP in certain scenarios. I think what will end up happening is Zergs find the right number of macro hatches to add on, and you'll have more larva than you know what to do with, for less APM. | ||

The coolness of zerg was lowered greatly by the hand-holding feeling of auto injects to me | ||

i think that once people get used to it and find themselves micro'ing a lot more, it'll get better. i've always been a little jealous of how other races could produce at full power without really taking their eyes off their units except occasionally while they're pushing or harassing. | ||

If the main thing is that you have to look away while injecting change that, and don't remove manual injecting altogether. | ||
