The raven change is total crap. Why not try 90 sec or 50 first? 20 is way too low.

90 or 50 seems strong against Tempest

People seem very pessimistic, I played the test map several times, imho good zergs will be more efficient with the new swarmhosts : 2.95 is fast, flying locusts open new harrass pathes, killing expansion never been so easy.

Moreover, these changes have been on test since christmas, if it ends up being terribly unbalanced, we'll have to blame ourselves, not blizzard...

I've always been an advocate of trying before complaining, but I am somewhat puzzled as to how Zergs will efficiently combat Protoss late-game after this patch. It's very possible that I'm too possible and the Zerg messiah will work something out, but it does seem like a tough hit to endure for the Zerg late-game.

He hasn't played hots since lotv beta came out and these are already in the beta so I assume he's OK with them

I hardly ever used Ravens anyways so not a big deal to me. SH was just a bad unit out of the gate in HotS.

Indeed, 20 is way too much, raven is still important for mech in TvT and in TvP (for those brave enough to try it)
