A zerg player going mass queens blindly would have a really weak mid game especially if they delayed gas because of it, i see no way I could pressure an early third from protoss if I opted to make 8 queens in the early game and delay all of my gases until the 7 or 8 minute mark queens also have poor dps in the first place and it is even worse vs armor, which all protoss units have, plus they take up alot of supply which would be bad for your overall army comp in the midgame as well unless its a relatively small map any zerg player going mass queens should have no way of being aggressive until hive, which should be exploitable for the protoss player id imagine | ||

I'm sure the korean progamers are working hard to find a workaround this while I see foreigners just throw up their hands and say queens are OP instead of playing the game I'm sure he's pretty disappointed that they only gave it a week before implementing a balance patch. Also, just because we don't get to see Korean sentiments all the time doesn't mean that they don't feel the same way. I'm sure all the pros are finding out ways to work with the buff in place, but they can still find it incredibly ridiculous at the same time. | ||

With PvZ its hard to see this being an issue, especially as protoss relies on push-based aggression, not harass, and queen's dps capabilities are next to useless against that. The only problem from protoss perspective is that it is much harder to keep the probe scout alive early on, not much else has changed. Please don't talk about a match up in with you evidently don't have experience playing it. Protoss rely a LOT on pressure, either few units or 4gate. | ||

It may just be my experience with TT1 but he seems to just non-stop complain. If the zerg opens mass queens they will be behind economically vs. a FFE anyways. A timing attack would probably be very successful. How about harass with warp prism? OR how about not doing 1 opening every game and do something other than FFE. Whatever you do, either bring some PROOF or stop crying as per usual. | ||

Instead spinecrawlers would have 10 second faster buildtime. That just sounds so much more logical to me, atm you can't build reactionary spinecrawlers cause they aren't up in time when you scout hellions or smthn. Spinecrawlers are MEANT for defending, Queens aren't, although they do help a lot obviously (ZvZ  ) | ||
