Players get good at holding this stuff as the game goes on (as we're currently seeing in WOL) and it's not fun at all to have a severely diminished late game and being unable to follow economic style strategies because the opposing players late game armies are just much better. Isn't the void ray change a late game adjustment? | ||

 I am sure the burrow move can be very powerful, but hard to say without having played it! Looking forward to getting to testing! | ||

Major League Gaming is currently broadcasting a Heart of the Swarm best of 7 showmatch. We will bring the beta service down shortly after the showmatch concludes, as we don't want to interrupt. You can watch the show at MLG's Twitch.tv Stream. | ||

Furthermore, the initial feedback from players has been very positive regarding this change, and we've already seen Zerg internal testers pull off some neat tricks using Burrow. What you forget, dear David Kim, is: 1) This makes expansions even harder to take. Ever been blocked by creep? Now we also need to scan to land out command center. 2) When we push out, we need to be even more carefull --> burrowed banelings. | ||

The burrow at hatch is such a joke. By by harassment of any kind, just burrow your drones at 5 minutes. That is like saying you don't like the spore w/out an evo because air harassment will never work yet it still does. Just because it is at hatchery tech doesn't mean it will be a standard upgrade all zergs will get. That is a considerable investment in the early game simply for the chance you'll need to burrow your drones. The fact is that the hatchery burrow will come into play when people are going for some sorta of specific build/timing/tricky play in the early game. After that it really won't be a huge deal at all. Just think of it this way, people hardly upgrade burrow even in the late game w/ excess resources so don't act like it is game breaking. Cool change, the more that is available early the better as long as there are scouting options for it. | ||

Players are really forced to utilize the Reaper’s passive healing ability between attacks in order to maximize the unit’s efficiency. We'd like to further promote this type of play by slightly increasing Reaper health. Forced to utilise? I don't think people are like "oh no, I have to have my units regen their health before I can go and do even more economic damage in the early game, woe is me  "It's a gift as it is. I guess Blizz really wants Terrans to use Reapers. That can come out even earlier, move faster, have more health which regens. I fear that Nexus/Hatch first against Terran is going to become next to impossible if the Reaper keeps being buffed. | ||

They didn't need a nerf. Especially considering that for every void ray you make, zerg can make more units to counter it as fast. Void rays are not a unit that is good in low numbers. In fact they're completely useless in low numbers unless your opponent has absolutely nothing that shoots air. | ||
