Sorry if I exaggerate, but to pretend to equal or exceed a Zerg economically without doing nothing seems a little stupid. The main advantage of the Zerg race is oriented economy and macro. | ||

The argument is that the increased viability of queens for defending ground will motivate the zerg to build more queens. As a consequence, the zerg will be more prepared for air attacks as well. | ||

I don't really get why even queens are buffed. Helion openings are not too strong or anything. Zergs are rather having a low winratio against Terran, because of marines than this issue. | ||

It's hard to take balance discussion seriously from someone who doesn't win tournaments or at least come close. Sorry mate, leave it to the top pros to figure it out for you. Just to add to this, almost every player I've ever heard comment on TT1's style is that he is insanely greedy. | ||

Against protoss queens are pretty bad for dps anyways (die to 1 zealot), I think the bigger problem is zvt where hellions are almost useless earlygame. | ||

Against protoss queens are pretty bad for dps anyways (die to 1 zealot), I think the bigger problem is zvt where hellions are almost useless earlygame. queens are ment to tank vs 4gate pressure, with transfusion + a good creep spread u can hold off any 4gate pressure super effectively.. so u could basically open 3hatch into ling speed into a 4th hatch before lairing up now, once u hold the pressure off u can start droning up with 4 hatchs while spreading creep all over the map, gives u so much map control | ||

It's just 1 spinecrawler and 5 queens with like 2-3 transfuse can most likely handle most pressures. | ||

I'd imagine if you seperate them they would be pretty easy to take on. | ||
