The queen isn't so much of a second worker because at higher levels she seems to have a great attack. It's more like, you wouldn't want to engage her in combat because she also seems pretty fragile. She probably can't take on two consecutive marine drops or so.

On a side note, is she considered a big unit or small unit?

The queen looks really good, for several reasons:

1. As others have mentioned, not having to waste larva for static defense. Plus, hopefully defenses can be deployed *when needed*, not because they might be needed later.

2. Easier expansion. Build a hatchery -> move queen, build defenses -> move on.

3. Tactical considerations for the enemy. When I attack a zerg base, can I expect the queen to be there, or get there soon?

The one unit limit is a game mechanic, nothing more. If it makes gameplay more interesting, keep it. I do hope it makes ZvZ games more diverse, it would be welcome. It's the most boring mirror matchup.

Does anybody think the Queen should be able to "deep-tunnel" to Ovies dropping creep? Otherwise, in my opinion, this ability (creep drop) would be kinda useless as an offensive tool.

hell no, Ovies droping creep is really good as it is. It can be used offensively with the queen to place the defensive structures that the queen builds on the creep patches.

No, from building to building, and that's a huge difference.

She is as fast and about as strong as a single zealot. And people do use zealots offensively you know

Actually, in one of the SC2 ZvP videos (check the video thread) the guy queen rushes and she gets there just a little bit after the zerglings. If there were an overlord around (with creep upgrade?) he could very well have cannon rushed.

I think the overlord upgrade is Hive tech though.
