But we will might see more changes that just new units. Blizzard will balance tweak abilities or they might even remove units. Who knows. | ||

Oh, and anyone having trouble with colovoidray mixes is either in Platinum or stuck in a time warp 5 months ago. No, if you split your units and don't let them all die instantly to a few fungals it's still completely viable and strong, especially now that NP is useless. And honestly, it's retarded that our only decent AA is our spell caster. I honestly hope the nix the infestor all-together in favor of something more defiler-esque (more support/interesting spells). | ||

Blizzard will balance tweak abilities or they might even remove units. Who knows. Still I don't like that almost everybody asks for hydra speed. Hydra speed worked in SC1 where hydras were tier 1.5 and had 1 supply, but did not deal that much damage. Hydras in SC2 are not really slow – they are as fast as a marine. On creep, the hydra is as fast as a marine on stim. | ||

On creep, the hydra is as fast as a marine on stim. And? Zerg is ALL ABOUT mobility. Having a unit with low mobility (relative to the rest of your units) that is also pretty mediocre/awful (once they get AoE) in combat is what makes hydras terrible. Besides, you only ever see them in ZvP and ZvZ... In ZvZ it wouldn't be an issue and in ZvP they have FF to limit their mobility/colossus to melt them anyway. If you flat out gave hydras speed they'd be too strong because you could just hydra all-in every toss and win 90% of your games, but if you actually forced them to morph the hydras or get a 180 second hydra speed upgrade they'd be fine. But I really hope this isn't anything boring like that. I'm hoping for a seige unit like lurkers. | ||

I don't agree with your first part, but that's for the balance discussion thread. Second part: Agree entirely, the Infestor spells (especially Fungal) seem a bit "meh". I like NP, although the range change was completely stupid, and ITs are OK, but Fungal just doesn't add anything interesting to the game. | ||

Zerglings evolve into banelings. Now, Ultralisks evolve into Banelisks! Giant banelings that deal +100 damage to armored units and +400 to buildings! And when they die they spawn tiny broodbanes that are banelings but 50% in size and damage! | ||
