Not sure if I just need to get good (which I always do) or the new larve spawn is out of hand for everyone else...Maybe I hit an MMR where everyone else's macro is way better now, but Ive been hard stuck at dia1 for years and even masters 1&2 zerg never had this much supply this early in the game. Im dealing with max roaches at 9 mins and mass muta and mass roaches mid game. not used to these supplies...

If you are playing the ptr the spawn of larvae is faster

This doesn't sound like ptr. But if you are on ptr the leagues aren't representative of actual skill because most people aren't playing much. There can be high masters in gold league etc

yeah in ptr. feels very broken. The point i was making is being hard stuck i stay in the same mmr range. Before the larve change my win rate was 80% against zerg in any live patch and in the ptr. now its closer to 20%. Mid game they have more roaches or hydra or have muta with roaches and now they're rushing to ultras without any apparent downside. Not a pro, but been playing this game for 15 years, over 60 to 70k games. Maybe I just gotta copy what pro terrans do from now on, but just seems very off from what im used to.

60-70k games and diamond is pretty wild but also worth considering that the majority of people that even know the ptr is live are typically more invested in the game. So naturally you're going to encounter better players and the total pool is so small the ranking system is irrelevant.

But anyway none of that matters because the larva change was pants on head and Zerg's econ is/was comically overpowered (someone mentioned a hot fix but I haven't logged in for a day or two).


Take it all with a grain of salt, no point in being mentally invested in the ptr
I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying
