EPTIf they want Zerg to get better aggression then should work on mines (no splash damage, balance them around that) and remove the last tank buff.

atm the by far best use is for infestors, you can do lots of tricky stuff with them while burrowed, with how much the infestor got nerfed they will be used less ofc also blizzard really seems to want to make burrow more useful, the coolest change for hots that was announced for zerg was burrowed baneling movement, now that this is gone hopefully something else will be implemented really zerg as a whole need more cool stuff that players can do to set themself apart from each other | ||

Overall though I think Burrow should be Tier 1, as long as tunneling claws stay at tier 2. | ||

Between this and mines, it's back to going robo early every PvZ/PvT *sigh* | ||

Another interesting idea would be to make burrow automatic at Lair tech, wouldn't that be better? | ||

This could be so problematic, yet so cool.

And with this burrow change, gate expand is pretty dead like everything not involving a robo. | ||

Great idea! really... Blizzard wants to put burrow at tier 1 because they want more offensive play from the zerg (which is good) but I'm affraid this change will simply allow zerg to turlte harder (baneling mines / burrow drones if danger) and rush T3 even more faster, and that is not what HotS needs | ||

Still, some ghost opening is pretty good vs DT opening and I expect Oracle+Void Ray to be pretty good vs roaches. Not to mention that the standard PvZ opening is FFE. You have a canon (and the ability to build more) anyways!!! | ||

It does nothing for Zergs being offensive in the MIDGAME (which is where they needed the boost compared to WoL, not in the early game), and it makes them even stronger defensively. Now, did we REALLY need to make Zerg even more turtly? As a Protoss, this is just going to force me to turtle behind skytoss/templar even harder. @Big J, Inverno loves his gateway expands but he does have a point. Cannons are obviously shitty for offensive purposes, and a detecting oracle does jackshit as well because it doesn't have the energy to use anything else. | ||

Ah well, I don't deny that a straight up implication could (or probably will) be problematic. But that's why they -) test it internally -) might add a longer research time (for example to prevent a 14/14 opening from blocking a 1gate expand, stuff like that) -) are surely willing to rebalance stuff like Protoss detection if needed. Maybe they will just switch detection back to the MSC if needed. | ||
