(i assume queens are like 0.6 offcreep?) also baneling openings in zvz are going to be so much weaker and the zvz metagame might change to a earlier t2 midgame i think. | ||

 Wow the change in regards to denial of scouting is massive. I guess scouting through a queen on open natural maps like Tal'darim and Bel'shir beach or any map for that matter should be ... impossible now? xD really good for zerg 2base plays, very unfortunate for protoss players trying to get info. @Wunder: Early game agression like 14/14 will obviously be even more easy mode for the defender now, 14/14 will be super technical to execute and not worth it unless you are playing someone with terrible control. Gasless builds like the hatch first 3spine double queen defense or the 15h16p17g with 1-2 spines and double/triple queen defense will come even more into style. Or 14p16h 3queen defense for those that don't want to flip the hatch first coin. Queens can still kill overlords off creep, it will just take a little longer and it's easier for the overlord player to reach safe havens. | ||

Hi Snute, unfortunately as I don't play Zerg I have no idea what you've just said, but it sounds like it's a good thing for Zergs in terms of a more macro style or at least more 2base play, though we already see a lot of 2 base stuff now. | ||

Hahaha my bad, sorry XD basically, taking an expansion and defending early attacks and 1-base aggression will be a lot easier now. We will probably see a lot more passive macro styles  the changes are very good for those who want to play midgames instead of micro intensive early games. | ||

If I were to make any suggestion, it's that you could have put pretty pictures into the post to make it more shiny. A post with pictures in it makes it 74% more appealing! FACT*. + Show Spoiler [*] + May not be a fact; I made it up. Sorry I can't wait to try out these changes on ladder | ||
