They are supposed to be the swarming race with lots of weaker units, but the zergling and drone are the only ones that use 1 food. zerglings are only .5 food, not 1 food. zerg now has no units that are 1 food (except drone). | ||

Did people honestly think roaches were overpowered? 1600 plat here, I was constantly steamrolled by marauders, blinking stalkers, immortals, etc. This nerf hurts and trust me, I have a feeling there will be more roach nerfs. Yes. Thank you. We're in the same boat. Fuck. Can I get a Fuck from the crowd. That's all I'm feeling right now. What a great word. I honestly expected more. I was like no way could there be another patch wherein Terran get's a blumpkin, Protoss get's some quirky change that means colored bubbles, and zerg get's Lexington Steele and a prison cell. | ||

Yep, Stalker with blink push will be stronger now. | ||

I recently switched from toss to zerg, and I didn't really feel like the roach was imba when I played toss. Now that I play zerg, I feel like a very large number of roaches is the best answer to terran mech/rines/rauders. Now I honestly have no clue... half as many roaches in the same situations seems very scary. | ||

Blizz easily could have let this patch wait until they were ready to reset ladder, but they hastily put it together to nerf Idra. lol. | ||

Although I think at 2 supply roaches might need to be a little stronger, maybe their 2 armor back. I agree with this too an extent. I think that a speed upgrade should be added to the Hydralisks so that they can keep up with zerglings when you mass them together... same as ultra - speed up, make a bit smaller, and make it a well rounded user friendly flanking unit that can kill everything :D Ultras are already expensive... but although I think zerglings or hydras by themselves shouldn't be given an extraordinary buff as far as attack / range / armor etc.... i think zerglings and hydras together should be buffed by having the chance to keep them together in one army instead of lings running way ahead. | ||

Forge build time will provide problems in 2vs2 2Z vs 2P matchup. It's hard to stop double 6 pool rush. Zerg tier 3 is just god awful. Broodlords in thought are amazing, but a viking or a couple of phoenixes will absolutely smash the broodlords with there reduced health. Timing pushes? What is there to timing push with? Roaches have been nerfed and hydras have been nerfed. Simply put I don't really know what to build anymore. Marauders melt roaches and hydras, zerglings counter that but get raped by tanks, same goes for banelings. Fungal growth is good but infestors cost a hell of a lot of gas. Not to mention how does a zerg defend a timing push when they will have half of the amount of roaches? | ||

take the "massive" attribute from the thor and give it to the siege tank (so it can't be stunned by marauders or lifted by phoenixes) who's with me o/ | ||
