EPTWhen you upgrade to Lair Tech, it automatically increased the Roach supply requirement from 1 to 2. This would be unavoidable and permanent once Lair was build one time (even if Lair was eventually destroyed). Ta da! Roaches late game are 2 Supply and the 200 Supply Zerg army is not too strong, and early game Roach play is still just as viable as pre-patch 12.

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? Wait what? The damn things have AMAZING health for their cost, are awesome tanks and tear up Marines and Zealots like nuts. What are you smoking? I will laugh my ass off if Zerg start building full Zergling/Hydra armies and expect their army to live more than 2 seconds. | ||

As it was, roach hydra was arguably too versatile and potentially too easy to execute. I think it's great blizzard is still trying to find ways to diversify the zerg army. I think they have a long way to go, and I'd also like to see less marauders and slightly less void rays. It's pretty clear Blizz is balancing the game so there are as many "viable" (dislike that term) tech paths as possible, which will hopefully make for a multitude of variety in unit composition and timings. I do hope the balance patches slow down in frequency after release though. I really don't think Blizzard has given players enough time between patches to warrant many of their balance changes with some rare exceptions (i.e. PVP proxy warpgate). I'd like to have the same patch for a good 6 months or so, just to see all of the crazy and innovative play that players are forced into due to alleged imbalances. | ||

you have officially killed the meme. the lack of funny and the fact that you have been probably waiting for a long time to use it have lead to its death. | ||

Just bring Hydra back to being a cheap massable unit resulting in huge fuckin' armies again, i miss the huge hydra armies :p | ||

Forge slightly nerfed, but I couldn't care less. Thor slightly buffed I guess, but I don't see a problem with that. It actually seems to be good. I have built a mothership excatly once so far... | ||

@ The roach late game. There is a good chance this is phase 2 of blizzards "hey lets make the ultra good again" plan. Remove the possibility to go another unit because of the supply cap, so players go ultra, then fill the rest in with lings. Just a thought thou. | ||
