I get the feeling that archon mode really doesn't benefit zerg as much as the other races. A lot of zerg play revolves around throwing a mass of units at the enemy without leaving much room for micro. Like, how do you micro banelings? The burden is on the terran player to split, which gets twice as easy in archon mode.

Not that this is balance whine. It just seems to be an interesting feature of the different races that perhaps some races benefit more from the extra apm.

You can split banelings too you know

I think I would prefer Maru/Dream for that. Completely unbeatable in TvZ and TvP, good enough to never reliably lose in TvT. With Innovation and Maru, Parting would still win.

Sure, but what I meant is that there's MORE of a burden on the terran player. So since the game is balanced around 1v1, having twice the micro ability helps the terran player more than the zerg in that particular situation.

I think in BW, there were certain race combinations that fared much better in 2v2, right? (I don't think SC2 2v2 ever developed much of a metagame). So it might not be surprising that there might also be imbalances around archon mode.

Just some speculation.
