Queens have recently been changed, I haven't tried them and I don't know what exactly they did other than making them smaller (which should be a buff except vs nukes). I guarantee that I won many many games with mass queen before the latest patch, vs marauder, vs immortal. They are definitely viable if difficult to set up. Try massing them later in the game...open baneling into sentry/immortal....then later game add on 8-10, they are great for preventing counter pushes due to their unkillability in a group. I wouldn't recommend going 3 baneling into queen, you are pushing tech too fast and your income will be crap slow. Also keep in mind that massqueen is literally 4x as powerful when you and your lane partner contribute.

also if you queens aren't all synced you are wasting your time.

If you are attempting to get massqueen going and your lane partner isn't at least competent you will get your ass raped, they have to be able to atleast keep the opponent off of your doorstep during your weak early-midgame until you get going. They should also ideally be mixing something like immortal/tank/thor to help your queens vs big targets.


Then again queens could have been nerfed recently, I don't know what stat changes they made.

also remember that your income is dependant on your structures....any time you are saving up you are losing money.

-Queen:

-Transfusion now heals targets only when they are lower than 50% hp

-25 second cd on transfusion

-Queen model and radius made smaller

-Movement speed reduced to 2

-No longer biological so can't be healed with transfusion


Now I know why my mass queens failed to do anything, and why as soon as I popped broodlords my lane turned into a stalemate despite the other team having a massive push.

Have you ever used high templar vs broodlords. You will lose automatically. All the high templar will storm your own units. I don't get these for this reason. I think it might even be better to destory your ht buildings if they get broodlords.

I find banelings extremely strange at the moment, since they basically deny any money from kills to the other team. I have lost quite badly yesterday to two guys who literally only spammed banelings in the beginning, and then, after having about 5 baneling buildings each, switched to zerglings + tanks with much more income than i had, which in combination with the banelings than proceeded to destroy the few marauders i was able to get out with my sole income being those small amounts of minerals you get from having your buildings exist. Also, is it just me, or dont zerglings give any money to you when you kill them, too? Might all be relicts of an old version of the game on the EU servers, though.

This system of map distribution feels like it is really not working at all, and also seems to be way more complicated then necessary for everything except playing some random game from time to time.

Has anyone tried to exploit scouts yet? The scout building is invincible, meaning that you can wall in a side, and either go air, or push the other lane.
