EPTIs there a design/balance reason for zerg having no mobile anti-air before lair tech? I figure there must be some reason that it isn't there, but I haven't really thought of anything that made too much sense. Maybe it's as simple as designers assumed that zerg players would be teching to lair more quickly than we typically see, but maybe there's something I'm missing entirely. Thanks in advance for any input!

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/M9U1a.jpg) I don't know what to make of this, not only that it is in my recent-list (even though I got it on last BlizzCon, duh) but especially if you look at the date of when the achievement was received. Edits: typos. | ||

Thanks in advance for any input! It fits well into how Zerg constructs units with the larva mechanic, gains access to those units via tech structures, and how this would impact early-game air play styles for Terran and Zerg. Terran and Protoss cannot batch produce air units, they must be queued up and produced one at a time per structure. Zerg's counter to this is identical (queens must be queued). They are given a slight defender's advantage (as they should have) with spore crawlers. That's that basically. If Zerg had a larva produce-able AA unit early game they could forgo just one round of drones to shut down an extremely costly opening for Terran or Protoss with ease. It would really hurt any air-style openings from either race. The current setup rewards good scouting - something Zerg players must absolutely be doing considering the larva production system. It also gives Zerg just enough tools to deal with early-game air aggression. | ||

Just take a screenshot of it and see how much you have to cover. | ||
