Is it really that bad? Worse than PO? Worse than prisms? Worse than nitro medivacs? I'm mostly a Zerg player, but I have went against it while I was playing as Terran a few times, and did not think it was OP or anything. If I am wrong I would love to know what makes it so much more powerful? I do think that maybe Queens should not be able to heal it for a period of time after spawn, healing them may cause some issies with it being fair. But aside from that, it dies pretty fast. To be honest fairly often I've seen it killed before any units came out, or maybe one-two units coming out. Seems like the only thing it will punish is if you leave your base COMPLETELY undefended?

I agree that things like this should not belong in the game at all, they should not be in for ANY of the races. But if Zerg has to worry about being defensive due to possibilities of limited information, that makes it fair if the other races should have to deal with the same thing, no? | ||

Making spores blindly is like a small blind adjustment; it doesn't define an entirely new build. Many terrans go blind turrets in TvT and TvP (which are an even greater investment) and no one is complaining about that as much as nydus. Against nydus, it's possible terrans will have to do more than just little adjustments in their build. Terrans may have to do something as radical as not building hellions entirely, which is more in line with being pigeonholed into a single build than simply having to make one adjustment across all builds. | ||

There are now 5 Queens attacking Ryung's Marines/SCVs while he's still trying to bring down the full health Nydus. Roaches come out. GG. Maybe this is the most all-in build ever conceived by any Zerg and if Ryung had only scouted it and attacked into it, he would have won 100%, therefore it's balanced (I doubt all of these things)... but it looked broken as FUCK. I bet Ryung went greedy into 3 orbitals that's why he had 2 hellions and few marines while Zerg had Lair tech with nydus...It's like Terran punishing Zerg with 2 racks bunker rush while he goes 3 hatch before pool. I don't see nothing imbalanced in both cases. | ||

Seems kind of reminiscent of "build 3 bunkers against Blink Stalkers that might never attack and then you're already behind." Zerg sets himself back in the same way forced to build safe ravagers because u always risk Liberator ruining your mineral line. | ||

That's like the most stupid idea i've seen by far in this topic. The way how player uses unit decides is it offensive or defensive. For example phoon cannon is defensive stat defence and it can be used to attack (cannon rush). And that's like the one of the many examples. Nydus allin is an allin. If it's scouted or one can prepare to defend it- Zerg is never gonna win. That's how allins work. Exept mass sentry/ blink stalker in ZvP in HOTS- dat u can scout and prepare and still die to it :-) And for the record- what's the point of placing nydus that cannot be transfused?- it still dies in a sec from few scv's attack- please... | ||

I can understand than zerg player want have their freewin for the release but just be honest its so fucking retarted, you only see this on ladder and it make game absurd, I just watch the forgg stream 3 different player 3 ridiculous nydus all in who force Terran to blindly counter this ( Just like the adept warpprism ) and if the zerg go for another start youre basically dead because of your bad bo to counter this nonsense build... If the warpprism or doomdrop medivac was invincible to your queen mutas or whatever you want when they drop on the middle of your main you will be the first to cry and whine seriously just be honest... | ||

Things like Nydus and Warp-In are dangerous because they allow an aggressor to pseudo-commit resources to very heavy pressure, without taking on all of the risks that usually accompany such commitment. The units don't have to travel across the map - this reduces the area and time over which they can be scouted, it makes it impossible to damage/kill/distract them while they're en route. Newly produced units can be easily thrown into the all-in, so situations where the aggressor would normally have an advantage (that they would still have to not fuck up over the course of a macro game) turn into an outright victory. Often, they can bypass defender's advantage altogether by coming in from an angle that the Tanks/Bunkers aren't defending. These are all INCREDIBLY dangerous things that should not be thrown into a competitive game lightly. Making Nydus invincible, and Warp Prisms so cheap AND difficult to kill (range pickup, speed)? Yeah, that's pretty blase. | ||

Dont overexaggerate! Something like this happens only if you miss the nydus. But in that case you are right. You cant kill it with a small army as in the past (like 3-4 marins or 10 workers, compare it to medivac drops) but you can hold it. Also consider that units get out one by one slowly. You wont really lose units if you have the critical number (which isnt your whole army!). If you compare it to medivac drops and how much you need to stop that you will start to understand that the nydus isnt unfair. | ||
