Roaches do not outrange cannons behind buildings if the cannons are directly against the building. Good protoss players get a sentry ready to forcefield the hole made by a baneling bust. Sorry.

Have you ever played Zerg? Baneling busting a cannon wall is not only stupid, but based on blind luck (that the Protoss happens to have a pylon or cannon as part of the wall off rather than just buildings like gateway, forge, cyber, etc.). The only map it's ever really been successful on at a pro level is Belshir Beach because it's not a balanced map. And have you ever seen a roach/baneling all-in against Protoss? I mean, in a perfect scenario, yes this would work. But you wouldn't have "swarms of lings and roaches". You'd have like 7 roaches max, a couple banelings, and some slow lings because you couldn't afford speed to hit in time. It would be a terrible all-in countered by a couple more cannons as soon as the second probe scout sees an all-in coming of any sort (since they're all countered by more cannons).
Edit: Also, reading the whole text doesn't fix anything. Roaches will never outrange cannons behind buildings. Never. It's considered a bust because they're taking hits and forcing their way through with sheer power.

Baneling bust - You're talking about all-inning with banelings
Roach outranging buildings protected by cannons ? You must be playing different game, for sure not ZvP.
Swarming in? I heard sentries do a great job forcefielding stuff.
We're talking about punishing, not going all in. 2 rax or stupid canon rushes/3 pylon block are by no mean all in, and if you get banelings so early to "punish" you are talking about gigantic disadvantage unless you do major damage.

Uh no. If you know your timings and hit around 6:30 mark (when protoss has FFE) they will have 2 sentries max and 2 FF does not cover all the buildings. Also, if you place your cannons right next to the buildings roaches will target it down instantly, you'd need 4 cannons to deny that.

Baneling bust is an all-in yes... The roaches aren't. Unless the cannons are right next to the buildings you can kill the buildings without getting hit by the cannons, and not all protosses put their cannons right behind their buildings, read my previous post for more elaboration on that.

Hopefully they will finally make Queens massive units while they are tinkering around with them. Early FF on ramps is ridiculously hard to counter, without blindly researching Ovie drops.

Seriously? Protoss early pressure becomes nearly impossible then, just walk the queen around to destroy FFs and have lings swarm the sentries.

You are not talking about pressure. You are talking about abuse of race.
Cutting a whole hatchery of production from coming to base - which ff is essentially doing
you are basically doing the same thing as removing your ability to warp in in the mineral line when lings go to your base.
Unfortunately your zealots will spawn before zerglings cut down pylons while your ff takes a second and can continue it
infinitely due to warp prisms.

Just snipe the queen... As a Protoss imagine only being able to use 1/2 of warp-ins to defend..

Someone, give blizz the link to Day[9] cast called "Mass Queen". Where it's showed clearly how OP this unit can be en mass.
Now they want to increase its attack even more.
In my opinion if there is a man who understands in SC2 balance the least - it's D. Kim.

except that ff on the ramp isn't the only thing you can think about when considering this change. any sort of early attack that depends on ff is thrown out. That's a lot of possibilities thrown out to stop one thing

Roaches have a range of 4. Cannons have a range of 7. You have 2 extra hexes to work with where you can protect your buildings without putting your cannon right alongside it. If you can't do that, then you deserve to lose your buildings. There's a reason pro Zergs have stopped all-inning the Protoss off 2 bases and are all going quick 3 base. You just won't do enough damage to someone with half a brain. The only reason all-ins still work on the ladder is because they (not the pros) think they can get away with sitting on 1 cannon without ever scouting past the initial probe scout.

Please... the only replay where it looked 'op' was when CatZ did it, transfusing broodlords, and it took him like 15 games to actually win doing this. He streamed them all.

"Snipe" the queen? The thing has 175 hp with 1 armor, is quite fast on creep, and now has 5 range in this map...You can't "snipe" it with a slow small force of zealot/sentry as it can run around on creep, unless the zerg literally has no other defenses.

if onyl toss had some fast unit off T1 with 6 range
its a shame they dont
but massive queen isnt the solution, FFing the ramp barely happens thats more of a map makers problem then Blizzs problem there are plenty of maps you cant FF the ramp easily and im pretty sure VRs get bonus to massive so it would make holding air alot harder

If only that unit didn't suck versus speedlings that can easily surround if there's no FFs

I love how not even a day and they remove the old queen buff because people were crying before they even played that it was op. And now the same thing is going to happen to 5 range queens...
