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. Spire tech was a TERRIBLE choice vs T due to thors AOE AA attack, and broodlords are so lategame, that the T will just scan your puny army and crush you now that you can barely have nearly as many roaches. I don't understand why is the Thor change considered a buff? Much easier to manage, Now every unit for Z in ZvT is quite useless, mutas even more so. | ||

"Roach - Supply count increased from 1 to 2. Roaches are just too mighty to be a 1 supply unit. In 200 supply battles Roaches can be very difficult to deal with even with the correct counters in play by protoss or terran players. " Might have been too good at 1 food but I feel like they are too weak to be 2 food. Should just make them 3 food and hatch 2 out of an egg. | ||

Z still has Zlings.... ^^' But really: How long until Blizzard realizes that they need to get rid of the roaches, move Hydras back to T1 (but make them weaker in some way) and just add a nice T2-Unit. Or why not move Roaches to T2 and give them the Tunneling-Claws+Burrow by default and move Hydras to T1. Then, maybe add a nice Upgrade for another Unit, like tunnelling claws for Hydras or sth to replace the Upgrade for the raoches et. voilà - much better already! | ||

Because massing zerglings instead of massing roaches is just soooooooooo much better. | ||

tbh, as a zerg player, i'm pleased with this change. people became a little too dependent on roaches, this is the single best change to 'diversify zerg' that i can see. however some changes to other units are probably in order, melee vs force field is a major issue for one, ultralisks are obviously another, etc | ||

This roach change will take time to get used to as it might now give a false sense of having a strong army or I might screw up my timings  | ||
