Being able to defend with queens with a smaller number of other units or even without investing in other units means a larger economy faster so that the late game is more accessible earlier. Any buff that strengthens the zerg midgame will have this effect, but the concern around the queen's strength is valid and grounded in the history of the game. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. very convenietly skipping the next paragraph of Snute's post which talks about how queen range buff and BL/infestor weren't connected design wise. the point that you seem to be missing is that you can buff zerg early game and nerf their late game | ||

You are going to a-move with queens? Thats gonna take some time. I guess you can create a creep high-way with overlords or queens. Are you gonna use spores also? That takes some micro but i guess it´s still ok.. You should switch to Zerg as it is the race to be. | ||

One of, if not the primary reasoning for justifying the strength 8 armor 'T3' ultras is the difficulty in successfully reaching them. Therefore ANY change to the early/mid game that increases accessibility to the ultra is in some way connected to the ultra design-wise because it weakens that justification for its strength. Snute does not advocate a simultaneous buff to early/mid game and a late game nerf, just that if things are screwed up then they can fix that problem when they reach it. I also disagreed with that because not only do we have evidence that such compensation would be necessary, but if the balance team inadvertently makes Blord/Infestor 2: David Kim Boogaloo despite all these warning signs and the fact that it was in fact also a queen buff in Wings that did immeasurable harm to the game, their reputation may never recover without a shakeup. | ||

Even if statistics say Zerg is the weakest race, it's not factual. If it has something to do with his signature, or history, then pardon me. Just looking at the new Spore Crawler root time, it just looks ridiculous and should not be in the game, though it's not the first time something that does not belong gets implemented. I think the balance team might be a bit too tunnel visioned on balance and is not considering what looks good aesthetically and the design of it. The biggest part of being a progamer is solving problems, let them be the problem solvers, you should merely provide the tools. | ||
