Assuming the zerg's overlords are all still alive, the patch didn't fix this problem. Cost is the same so the zerg can still just mass as many roaches as he has larvae. | ||

Don't know about you, but I hardly ever reach 200/200 supply in any game. Most of my games are over way to quick for that to happen. I have to agree tough that the Zerg was able to generate an insane amount of Roaches very quickly. | ||

I don't know why ppl whine about Zlings so much as well, IMHO, Speedlings is the scariest Zerg-Unit besides Broodlords. Maybe give them a better T3-Upgrade, but Speedlings in large Numbers can just rip through any Army that does not have heavy AoE-Units. Try to fight with Any Terran ground-force without Hellions or Tanks against Mass-Speedlings - NIGHTMARE! ^^' Also, if they catch you out of position with your tanks, they'll just rape you. I try not to go Hellions in TvZ, just to try out some new builds and with Mass-Marines Speedlings are sooo scary, until your siegetanks get out and even then you have to be very cautious when moving out to not get counterattacked or backstabbed when the Tanks aren't sieged yet. Just like I don't use Marauders as Terran (which works fine for me), I don't think going Roaches is that necessary as Zerg. I just think that Roaches now aren't as good anymore obviously, but they don't have a clear role in the game, so basically, you have no reason to build them anymore, right? ^^' | ||

The only change is that you actually ahve to pop an overlord or two extra when massing them. Anyone who made roaches early game was going all in anyway. How does this change affect ZvT at all? Speedling / spines into lair is what the standard build is. Going roaches early against terran has allways been a huge gamble because of the posibility of a marauder counter before your lair tech hits. The roach is now fixed in its roll as a tanking unit. It does affect it. I don't know at what league you play or what points you play, but going Lings into Lair isn't that viable. Terrans now know that Mech opening is the best way to go, and you NEED Roaches early game to fight against Hellions. Otherwise you will take 1. too much damage 2. need to overspend on cost-inefficient zerglings. 3. Make numerous Spine Crawlers, which also have now decrease efficiency because of the nerf to their rooting time. These things lead to delayed tech or worse economy. While the Terran has numerous options depending what the Zerg does. (Going expand, switching to marauder / hellion, going Banshee, going Thor or going for Siege tank push, which for example is extremely strong on Steppes of War.) Roaches on the other hand are extremely cost efficient against Hellions, but even they have problems on open maps with wide naturals etc. Now with this nerf, it will be harder to deal with. | ||

And is not solved with this change cause by then you have already enough overlords to support that after your army has died. Why can't the roach has a role it's good at? Every other unit is allowed to, but not the roach for some reason? | ||

And i guess 200 supply of roaches beat 200 supply of any other non air army, so they nerfed it. Too bad it couldnt take 1.5 supply. Thor change seems reasonable | ||

FINALLY edit: Also I don't think that the roach change is as big of a deal as it may seem. It is really only going to have a huge impact on late game when you are maxing out on supply. | ||

ZERG o Roach + Supply count increased from 1 to 2. Oh my god. I am not the one to act dramatically about patch changes... but wow. This is huge. Also: Thank God the Thor's size was reduced. It was a cool unit... but simply out of hand haha. | ||
