Playing the economic game is technical, but it's just another aspect of the skill. But now because toss and terran can't keep up the pressure during the whole game and zerg is winning on econ, blizz is nerfing all the zerg units so zerg gotta keep up the econ just to stay even. that's bullshit. | ||

Sounds like Zerg will have to get hive much earlier now, and get to broodlords (or ultras once they buff them) asap. The new ZvZ bothers me. The only thing more boring than Roach vs Roach is Baneling vs Baneling, but that's what they want I guess. | ||

That said, if they really want to spice the zerg up, I they need to buff nydus worms and rework infestors. | ||

If the toss or terran were playing defensive the whole game and let zerg mass up to 200/200, then that is a solid econ-based win, and zerg shouldn't be nerfed down for that. Yep yep, I would be very suprised if that was the reason for the nerf, both terran and protoss have great options to counter the roaches if they also got 200/200. | ||

With how spawn larva works you often produce a mass of roaches simultaneously in waves as the spawn larva finishes. It seems like it's really going to force wasting money on premature overlords in order to accommodate the instant 16-20 supply jump you'll get from a round of roaches now. | ||

Thats what, maybe an extra 20 seconds for the time needed for extra mining. So where previously you could get 9 roaches, now you get 8 in 15-20 seconds longer? (assuming your planning ahead on the overlord and not supply blocking yourself) I'm not arguing that this is not a big change, I just feel that most are way over exaggerating the in-game effect of a supply nerf on the early game. Late game, yes this is a big change and will likely force zerg into a different standard mix of units from the roach/hydra. Not that roaches will go unused, they will just now be 1/3 of the army comp instead of 2/3. The problem is that builds like the 15 pool 16 hatch into roaches that people like Artosis have been doing ZvZ is now completely impossible. It was already an extremely close battle to not lose your natural against speedlings, now it'll just be impossible. It fucks up roach openings in ZvZ (until midgame at the very least) and it's going to have a huge effect vs PT late-game. | ||

Can fit more in a given area, which means more DPS from your concave. Also, curcially, Thors have a much smaller circumference now meaning far fewer lings can surround one. | ||

"Yea. I noticed that as well. Anything we can do about that?" "Increase build time and decrease HP/Shield of the forge?" "And let's buff Terran while we're at it." "Maybe shaft Z some more? I hear Terrans are losing TvZ!" "Really?!!? That can't be! Let's double Roach supply cost then." "Good idea. Lunch?" | ||

Lowering hp to be in line with a one food unit would put them in line with the Zerg identity while balancing their cost effectiveness. | ||

ZERG ARE NOT FUCKING BUGS. I hate all this gross sound shit that zerg makes. Zerg should inspire fear with overwhelming numbers. to be fair, everything in sc1 except the zergling hydra and scourge were 2+ supply btw(not counting the drone) 2 units more zomg,considering 1 of those is removed and one has been buffed to where it needed it? | ||
