Okay. But if I make two queens after pool, and then two extra from nat, so max 4 queens (maybe more after 12 minutes though), is that okay?

Take off nostalgia glasses. 4-5 minute wins were so common it was disgusting. I'd watch 100 2 rax TvZ's over one winfestorturtle anytime. Atleast first one is exciting and requires micro from both sides.
Micro? with that units? Zergs were ejected from tournament bo3 in 10 minutes flat before lings would be out. Game was decided as soon as T decided to put down a bunker, and Z couldnt stop it with drones (lel) High dps ranged unit vs low dps melee worker.
It's amazing to see how this game has transformed. Zerg is now "easy forgiving" man.. I switched races (and games) at just the wrong moment i guess. My last memories of the game (which lasted from beta to mid/late 2011) Were protoss running around at any level below pro level with super easy A move armies. Terrans being hard to play but basically safe and forgivign as fuck (go all in, lose 80% scv's, win game thanks to mules and marines!) and zergs were just this shit race who would more often than not die to either 2-3 hellions or some 1 base cheese.
I stopped watching and playing exactly because every match was over in minutes, every match was T or P abusing shit gimmicky maps with shit gimmicky builds. The whole concept of protoss was "easy to execute, hard as fuck to defend against"
Maybe that's zerg now. Shame either way but it makes me sad to see protoss players complaining about anyone else using hard to beat but easy to use deathballs.
edit: good to see the white race is getting blamed for more shit, down with whitey le reddit le xD face le culturally enriched.

Even as Zerg player and fan, I can just support the OP. Great work.

Why would blizzard buff infestors so white dudes can win ? Like the only race foreigners play is Zerg... Foreigners zergs crush foreigners P and T too just so you know.
Your arguments there do not make sense to me.
You have intelligent points and a fertile imagination. I know you are upset with zergs but dont start making shit up.
Low post count? check Cursory read of the OP? check Intentionally bad grammar? check Repeatedly defending SC2 no matter what? check
How much is Blizzard paying you to post like this? 40 a month per forum account?

It feels SC2 has gone to mix of BW and WC3. Basic and core units from BW and spells from WC3. It works for WC3 but not for SC2.

I find the article a bit biased to say the least but it does however voice the frustration of Terran players quite accurately. TvZ remains a very difficult matchup

World vs Korea at Vegas
3 Korean Protoss 2 Zerg 4 of 5 Foreigners playing Zerg. No Terran at all (Lucifron just replacing Naniwa, cause he was there with his Brother) 80% of All Games turned to Lategame are favoring Protoss and Zerg in vT matchup
Looking at the Numbers and the current Tournaments there is PvZ , some PVP and a lot of ZvZ. Maybe this might be interesting for Protoss or Zerg players. But if the game is longer than 12 minutes it's "inf roach vs inf roach " or "War of the Worlds" Sometimes in ZvZ one Zerg gets up by 40 Food, but is not considered "ahead". If it's <12 min it was a rather cheesy game (or what CombatEX does). I stopped watching weekly/monthly cups all together because there are less and less Terrans competing.
The Numbers don't lie. Foreign Zerg win, Korean Terran struggle. Foreign Terran ?... Streamed Matches are ZvP and the two least fun mirror matchups
I really do not think Zerg isor should be a "casual" Race everybody can win with. This whole conspiracy is bullshit. The game becomes less attractive to watch the more onesided it gets. Blizzard does not think of these kind of things.
What i do not like, and what Blizzard does is "fixing everything in HotS".I mean... Fuck You Blizzard thats 3 Months, and Zergocalypse has been ongoing since at least 4. No to mention everything will change in HotS.

I won't pretend to have been here during BW times, but people should at least try to respect their forefathers. I wish R1CH would write a script that exposes these punch-clock forum trolls for who they really are.

I am starting to wonder if OP wanted to make a statement sauced up with some tinfoilhattery. Or just only tinfoilhattery.

So what's op again? Sure fungal is good, but so is bunker, medivac, marauder, so is forcefield and immortal, vortex or any other thing u can think correctly executed. Just try to play the game, infestor broodlord is not by far imba. Harass works great against it. Try not to be biassed. These are my thoughts (EU master zerg). You must be kidding. Or at least i hope u posted in the wrong thread by mistake. Just because 2 protoss got into WCS final and won A LOT of money means P>Z overall. Oh cool. This means protoss is 10x better than terran. guess not. Try again.
No, it doesnt mean P>Z overall. But neither does HyuN's IPL fight club or 2 zvz finals mean Z>P overall. From my personal experience, i have the best win rate in zvz. Of course this is not relevant, but check the pro win rates. You will find them quite balanced: GSL November Code S: PvZ 50.0% TvZ 53.1%
GSL November Code A: PvZ 56.00% TvZ 51.85%
How is Z op when it has a subunitary WLR?? Moreover, the graphs in Ver's post show that foreigners don't win much vs koreans as terran. That's because current foreigner terrans aren't in that good of a shape. I mean... lucifron? thorzain? not really ... When terran had a 65% win ratio in tvz (a year ago) it was normal. Now that zerg wins ALMOST 50% of the games vs terran Z is op. Please explain the logic, coz just saying "zerg op" "infestor op" "you gotta be kidding me" "no skill a move race" really is not a logical explanation.

Ya, I must admit I was amused by his implications of conspiracy, mostly because of how silly they were.

Coming from someone who hasn't watched or played SC2 in about 9 months, this post was really satisfying to read.

Well, this thread was really needed ... the move is now up to Blizzard, they NEED to nerf the eggs to 75hp, now or never.

Good article, just sad you choose to use Leenock as an example as much as you did. He is one of the few zergs that had success prepatch and now you make it seem like he is a patchzerg so..
Nestea/DRG/Leenock/Stephano are pretty much the only zergs that should never be classified as patchzergs because they had success throughout WoL.

I wouldn't worry about it, short of the very top level imbalance changes drastically. For example (at least in my opinion) in high dia / low masters Protoss has a huge advantage over Terran since the difference in multitasking required to perform well at this level skews heavily in favor of Protoss (at least in late game), but once both sides have better multitasking Protoss sees diminishing returns while Terran improves drastically and it evens out quite a bit the higher you go up.
edit: Basically I don't believe it's worth worrying about imbalance at lower leagues. If you're about to break into the pro scene however, my hats off to you and you'll be called a patch zerg no matter what you do.
