That's if you want to risk maintaining a rally outside their base. If the Zerg decides to churn out slowlings, they can easily overwhelm your marines. And it's a terrible trade for Terran, even if lings were forced, because then Zerg knows Terran cannot move out anytime soon, and can freely drone and take a third, whereas they can't (as easily) if you retreat. When you only have 5-6 marines you can push creep out against the marines no problem unless it's a map like Cloud Kingdom, where you still can easily by creeping along the top ledges. | ||

Basically nothing about the matchup changes except queen range will make 2rax and hellion run-bys easier to defend, creep easier to protect, and overlords better at scouting the tech of the Terran. Now, each of those sounds unimportant on their own. Combine them all together though, and it makes both early pressure harder to pull off, droning much easier (since you can scout more easily whether you need to pump drones or units), and creep spread much easier (since queens can push the hellions back now), meaning it makes the early game harder for Terran, and sets up an even STRONGER midgame for Zerg. These are facts, and are not up for debate. The only thing that we have yet to see are order of degrees. Maybe these changes will only affect things slightly (which is my guess, maybe skimping on 1 or 2 queens and throwing out a handful of extra drones), or maybe hellions are going to become near ineffective (with well placed queens being able to completely zone out hellions now, making run-bys much less effective). What I do know for sure is that it's going to take more than 3-4 days of people screwing around on a custom map to figure these things out. Didn't we use to have a PTR for these kinds of things? | ||

Your post, summed up. 1) You've theorycrafted. 2) And now I'm theorycrafting. But my theorycraft is FACT and is not up for debate. Though to be fair what you said is fact (except some of the "much"). That the changes make it harder for terran and easier for Zerg. Decreasing a ling's attack cooldown by 0.00001 would also make it harder for terran and easier for Zerg. Doesn't mean it's gamebreaking. | ||

May I point you to my last paragraph where I said that we only know that it made things stronger for Zerg and weaker for Terran, but we don't know by how much yet? Try not to cherrypick. I never said the sky was falling, I said that it might fall but we don't know yet until it goes live, because it hasn't been tested enough. | ||

The buff of overlord speed and queen range is going to lead to a large number of fast-lair 2base slow overlord queen drop strategies. But yes I totally understand, when I found out immortals were getting +1 range it was clear that ZvP was going to become broken. | ||
