I have never heard a decent zerg player complain about losing a larva from canceling. Again, all you lose is time because your hatch will spawn a new larva in at most 15 seconds. Terran and Protoss also lose time. It was perfectly fine the way it was before patch 9. It would apply in certain circumstances: If I cancel an egg and have more than X larvae... If I cancel an egg and have less than Y larvae... Two different situations, two different rules. That's bad. And unneccesary. | ||

I'm not saying that Zerg larval loss wasn't a good feature that made them harder which rebalanced other aspects that made them easier, but if Blizzard are rebalancing minor stuff then they're probably not just going to roll back the update because they cocked it up. I guess I should be more precise: Terran and Protoss are losing production time of one of their production facilities if they cancel a unit. Zerg was losing production time pre patch 9, as larvae ARE the manifestation of hatchery production time. Now zerg is NOT losing production time. Sure, the unit will be done a bit later than if it had been chosen right from the start, but the following units will not be delayed at all because there was no hatchery production time lost. Terran and Protoss units will be delayed throughout the rest of the game. | ||

I see, so it's not even as simple as evening the playing field as far as unit production goes, but actually a buff that puts their production ahead of the other races. I agree, it does feel ill advised, thanks for the clarification. | ||

But in the very beginning of the game, the loss of 1-2 larva can be crucial. It will mess up the timing and rush. | ||

Frankly I kind of like how this restores the classic Zerg Rush as a more viable strategy. But to be honest any zerg gameplay that doesnt involve roaches is looking pretty appealing these days... 10 zerglings vs. 1 marine is not a happy battle... | ||

If they're going to diversify Zerg away from roaches they should just set out to do that and do it properly. | ||

PETA raided Blizzard HQ and demanded no Larva be hurt by human mistakes. I find it is useless as well since you have to hit the hot key 3 times to make 3 units. | ||

If you mess up early in the game and your opponent doesn't you lose. It has always been like that and should be like that. Absoluetly flawless execution in early game is one of the things that separates good players from great players. | ||

But having to 7 scout 9 rax double wall-in every game to hold this off gets kind of boring, and that means you won't really be ahead in econ and the Zerg can FE. Plus the ability to cancel eggs and get larva back is overpowered anyways, since there is much less punishment for powering drones. | ||
