Nydus worms are absolutely horrible by default. It is an allin mechanic, nothing more. We don't need that in the game, so you either redesign it for different purposes or you just remove it

it was used awesomely in bw.

For very different reasons, in sc2 the bw purpose would be a non issue.

I don't really know. It seems like in every TvZ game I see the army of the zerg player is almost always bigger than the army of the Terran player, no matter how well the Terran player harasses etc. I know it's too early to say but it feels as if Zerg as a race is a bit too strong right now.

nydus canal was a hive tech building that could be placed on your creep, connecting it to another creep (=base, as OL didnt drop creep)
Zerg used it to defend far away expansions (most commonly defending 2 different naturals and securing 4 bases with 2 chokes that way)

Right. And because of ravagers and stuff there's even more opportunities for Zergs to exploit holes in mech play. Not to mention... nydus still gud.

nydus canal is integral for zergs once they reach hive tech, basically allowing the zerg to defend their bases with the fact that it cuts down army travel time to nothing.

Show me a hots tvz where the zerg army isn't bigger if the terran hasn't done game ending damage

Isn't the Zerg army generally smaller in HotS mostly because you build drones for the first 4 bases while Terran makes SCVs for the first 3?

Completely defensive can only be placed on creep, good for army movement bad for all-ins -Abathur

Well of course it's always a bit bigger in terms of supply but in LotV it is also a lot stronger.

I think mech might be unplayable. I remember in the dreamhack qualifiers Bunny lost to Cladorhiza with 3/3 cyclone, hellbat, liberator, tank vs 1/1 roach, hydra, liberator, coruptor.
