I was thinking that roach speed should be moved to tier 1. This would allow for zerg to have another opening. they can opt to spend first 100 gas on speedlings, roach speed or lair.

what do you guys think? I think it should definitely be looked at and tested.

So can anyone help me? Does anyone know of a non-Ling/Baneling build in ZvZ. I don't want Cheese/All-in either, I want something standard...but not Ling/Baneling.

I am really just getting bored of this matchup and sometimes it comes down to pure luck. I'm not even doing bad. I straight up crush anyone who doesn't Ling/Baneling, but against anyone who mirrors me, it comes down to lucky Baneling explosions.

It seems like any other Roach build where you just get out expanded and give up all map control, especially if the map have an open natural or backdoor so Banelings can get in the mineral line easily.

Hey, I want to ask since I am new and cannot post in a new topic a question in this thread.

My B-net Icons, like the ones for the achievements and the portraits all seem to be bugged and show that they are currently refreshing, but never seem to refresh. I still can play the game and all, only the icons are bugged. Am I the only one experiencing this problem ? I can post a screenshot if you'all would like

I think they are about to bring the servers down so there are a lot of drops and most achievement stuff is bugging out. I think it'll all be sorted out by this afternoon (PST) so for the next few hours stuff will be messed up if you can get on.

I don't know if it's common knowledge - if not, it's kinda interesting:

Corruption can bypass Hardened Shield's natural damage cap and increases it to a maximum of 12 damage per hit instead of 10.

Is that a bug or intended?

Well first off, I didnt know that so Ill say not common knowledge

I guessing it has to do with the order that the modifiers are applied. First it does hardened sheild and reduces the damage to 10, then it does the corruption and that increases it 20% to 12. It seems intended to me, and in any case its not a huge deal though i suppose it would help ultra vs immortal, but why would you get corruptors vs immortals instead of lings.

I've got a couple of questions:

Regarding matchmaking;
When matchmaking searches for opponents, it rarely plops you into a game immediately, sure, we all know this. After a few seconds it will start "expanding"search. Now, when it does this, is it simply widening the group of people it looks through, or is it widening the skill gap it will search through, or is it just breaking out of your own division into other divisions or what?

I would simply like to know why every single opponent I face is favored, or sometimes only slightly favored. Is this because matchmaking is still gauging my skill, or is it just because nobody else was around to play with poor me?

my favorite type of zerg to pwn. it baffles me why some zergs continue to attempt baneling bust vs a super heavily fortified wall instead of using them to contain.

I can't connect to bnet and my connection is totally fine running everything else, tried restarting as well. I have to imagine there's some sort of issue if you guys are having problems as well.
