There is a serious larva bug.
After patch, if you cancel morphing egg, it no longer burst the larva.
Therefore, since the maximum larva one hatchery can hold is 3, and when you are morphing some of the eggs, hatchery will "think" that there is less larva than 3, and keep producing more larva.

So, suppose you have 3 larvas, and make 3 drones out of them. While drones are being made, hatchery will continually produce larva, and right after you see that new larva is made, you can just cancel the drones without any cost, and get 1~2 extra larvas.

Result? A hatchery with more than 3 larvas (more and more larvas stack up if you keep doing it) WITHOUT QUEEN.

Yeah, it might not have huge impact in late games, since it requires some tedious micro and using queen is more effective later games, but in EARLY GAMES, it is deadly.

I tested it, and I was able to produce 12 lings in 2:30 mins.

My build order was 10 overlord, 10 pool, and by the time pool was made, I had 6 larvas ready and go.

This bug is really serious, and needs to be fixed.
Personally, I don't like the idea of cancelling morphing egg without any cost.

**EDITED**
You can make 10 lings in 1:55 min now...

OUCH!!
That's brutal...
I would say you shouldnt' have told anyone, but ovbiously, it's so easy to notice, and hundreds of people would figure it out quite quickly. Blizzard will probably patch this pretty quick I'd think.

You should post on the b.net forums right away. I just hope too many people don't abuse this in their placement matches.

Lol I knew this was a bug, and now we have to pay for it (Read; terran/protoss). At least ZvZ is going to be intence. XD

This change sucked anyways. I don't know what blizzard was thinking. It is just too easy to erase mistakes this way.

I can't post it right now, because there is an error in official forum.
However, I will post it ASAP.

Oh god, that kind of bug needs to be patched up ASAP. Oh god, imagine what the Terran/Protoss players not knowing about this bug will react when they see 12 lings at that timing. :/

the only way to really fix this is to change cancel larva(egg) back to normal...

think about it. what else can blizzard do? i am pretty sure that they realized that when developing the original starcraft. but no one remembered the reason why larva gets destroyed after cancel... happens all the time in developement ^^
