Roaches now, in a way, cost 12.5 more minerals. (Overlord is 100 minerals. 1 supply costs 1/8 of an Overlord. 2 supply costs 1/4 of an Overlord. So it changed from 12.5 to 25.) Zergs going Roaches will have more Overlords, for better or worse (worse if their Overlords are ever in danger, better if they're not in danger and are being used for something). Zergs will have to use one larva for an Overlord for every 4 Roaches they make rather than one for every 8. Some timings will change to push Roaches back an extra 100 or more minerals, depending on how many Roaches it involves. If income is low, that'll be significant. If it's high, it might be negligible. Max supply 200/200 army containing Roaches will be smaller.

I'm glad my zerg play doesn't use many roaches.

Time to change races from zerg T.T

The last.. how many patches? made Z worse?
The corruptors are ALOT worse now, idc what some people say, disabling your enemies production for several minutes in a row was alot more useful.

Why do koreans have to be sooo gooddd with zergg?

Yeah, I'm changing to terran and thor rushing for the foreseeable future.

I hope the forge nerf doesn't significantly impact Protoss FE vs Zerg too much.

I don't know now what's the ROLE of the roach? it looks like blizzard wants to make the ultralisk the tanking unit but at the same time they decrease every good aspect of the roaches, now what is their role? tactical unit? no. tanking units? not even good vs kiting units.

Don't understand the nerf on the forge either...

Thor smaller, then plz make ultra smaller.

roach supply nerf is cool - with infestors being super strong and the sheer mass of units it felt like close to impossible to stop zerg lategame

Protoss forge nerf - proving that blizz needs to nerf protoss in every patch...even if they dont know what else to nerf lol.

Zerg - Roach nerf...not too bad but I suppose they'll buff zerglings or...wait for it...ultralisks to compensate.

Terran - There was an article saying that terran is the strongest race...slowly agreeing to that now...

wow, some zergs will have to do more than make 200 roaches to win games, might even have to unit mix. This encourages zergs to use their tech switching versatility to win games as opposed to overwhelming with sheer numbers of roaches.

They always did 45.

Looking forward to the tiny Thor, the horrendous amounts of QQ about Roaches now nedding 1 supply more are to be excepted and really entertaining

Don't you guys think 2 supply Roaches is going to end up with lots of Zergs getting completely raped by fast Zealots?

Players don't mass up roaches just to fend off early Zealot pressure.
