As the blizzard staff said, Blizzcon is an awesome opportunity to get feedback. I'm sure that the IM players' contribution was invaluable. | ||

1. it cannot burrow on creep 2. it cannot unburrow once burrowed 3. cannot be lifted into medivacs result: you place them in defensive locations, as they should be, they won't kill larvae, which just seems stupid, and they won't be broken through drops. protosses over the world will agree. you guessed it, Im zerg and biased. but im a biased zerg with a point. also, blinding cloud should not do damage, that seems stupid too. | ||

I assume it's tearing larva up because it does spell damage, so they just need to change that and it won't be any worse than a group of marines. As far as economy, I don't think it's any worse than lurker drops were in BW, especially since the version shown at Blizzcon has a 10 second deploy time. | ||

http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/exclusive-interview-with-david-kim-on-heart-of-the-swarm We think the "deathgrip/lifegrip" ability (for the Viper) might be a little too powerful, but we always want the units to start out a little OP so that our staff will use it and give us feedback, if we made a unit that started out UP or perfectly balanced no one will ever use it. So expect the Viper to be OP in the early testing stages and maybe brought down later. | ||

Those changes seems pretty good  | ||
