Correct me if Im wrong, but LzGamer is known for going mass rax-reaper? :D Or was it Satini ;/ Seems like a pretty obvious choice to counter a specfic player.
Also no offence, but we are discussing mid game pushes by Terran, and besides repeaer harras Lz didint attack once whole game.

Watch the damn replay you asked for a replay watch it, it was a midgame push by Lz and it got broken by roaches and 1 ultra geeze

There is absolutely no reason to justify making roaches 2 supply. If they wanted to increase the supply requirement, they should have made it 1.5 supply.

As it is at 2 supply, roach is just ridiculously underpowered. It can't really kill a speed zealot unless on creep with speed upgrade, 1 stalker can kill infinite number of them unless on creep, marauders can own them outnumbered, mass marines without medivacs can own upgraded microed roaches, speedlings can kinda own them, siege tanks, immortals, sentries, etc. etc.

I complete agree with roaches being underpowered atm But make roach 1.5 supply(ie 2 spawning from the same egg with a cost of 3 supply) would be OP because of the larva cost. Zerg could pump out a crazy amount of roach without a 2nd hatchery while still pumping drones. I would rather see them get their 2 armor back and fill a roll of soaking dmg large amounts of damage.

I am specifically talking about making them 1.5 supply, NOT 2 in 1 egg. Essentially every second roach would cost 2 supply,unless there was an uneven number of zerglings/baneling controlled, in which case it would will be every second roach, just starting with the first as opposed to the 2nd.
