Which is what, like 192 centimetres? I am not completely fluent in the full foreigner measurement system.


186, I think. I know a little bit of American measurements, since I'm Canadian. T_T

6 even is like 181, 6'3 is definitely closer to 190+.

On a different note, I really hope zerg gets some interesting options for engaging off creep in LotV. It's so frustrating how the entire army is rendered almost useless when the creep is gone.

Dumb theorycrafting here for LotV but perhaps a minor speed upgrade off creep on Hive tech? Like a 10% speed bonus for all ground units might be enough to prevent Zerg from being so weak off creep.

Honestly, I'd just bite the bullet and nerf creep. The speed differential is just too much. Decrease speed on creep, increase speed off. Right now, creep is technically quite OP, it's just that every zerg ground unit except lings moves like a 90 year old arthritis patient off creep, so it balances out.


But creep actually requires APM and strategic thinking whereas simply buffing speed off creep would remove depth. Creep is as "OP" as other abilities(they only look OP in the hands of someone utilizing it good enough).

The problem is that it's too binary. In ZvT, if you are on creep, you're good, if not, you might as well not even try. It's too drastic of a difference. It should be a bonus, not mandatory. I'd argue it actually limits depth in its current implementation, because it restricts zerg so harshly in the late game.


This pretty much applies for many things in the design theme of SC2, though. Force fields great/super bad, splits great/super bad etc, there's little inbetween. I agree that going towards "less harsher" differences in game mechanics might be good but I just don't see it being done without destroying the mechanic itself(see: nydus).

Creep would be far easier to tune than forcefields and splits. They are not comparable. Any speed bonus is good, creep spread would still be beneficial. I think that is a false fear, creep could easily be relevant without being binary.


How so? If you buff the speed off creep so that you don't need creep anymore, I can see it being used as regularly as Nydus(e.g. not worth the investment, much rather get extra lings instead of queens for creep or save energy for transfuse), and if you don't buff it enough and creep spread would still be much better then I think it would still stay binary.

Depends on what you want to achieve though, if you're only talking about ZvT with Terran BioMine it seems like it's really hard to not make it binary since it's already a really close case.

More speed will always be better. There is no situation where not having creep spread would be preferable to having it, even if the difference is smaller. If it was so inconsequential that it would be better to not make the queens to spread it, it has been overnerfed. It would be an iterative process, obviously. I'm confident it could be done.

Certainly would be interesting to see though as the more I think of it the more I agree with it being too much of a gamebreaking element in ZvT atm.

That's... unexpected. I wish more progamers worked out (not because I want to look at their bodies), I think it's pretty good for counteracting injury.
