Your going to have overseers anyway for your mobile detection, and if its not as easy to spot then parasite might actually see some use | ||

Bugs are all about primal fury, genetical superiority and brute force. Keep 'em that way, "infiltrator bugs" are bullshit. I agree with you in a limited way. Changeling is too much like Starship Troopers. Calling Zerg "bugs" is too much like Starship Troopers as well. | ||

It wasn't worth building queens just to use an easily spotted parasite. This. Just make it a useful version of parasite. Gimmicks like this add nothing to competitive gameplay and i also dont think it makes the game any more fun on the casual level. | ||

Concerning the parasite idea, I think it's either useless if the enemy knows it's there (if the icon becomes green) or totally imbalanced if the enemy doesn't. That being said the changeling is one of those things where you don't have much of a strategic choice to make, you can just spam it whenever your overseer has energy (which is a slightly uninteresting concept since you don't actually have anything to lose). | ||

Thus, how about this: if the changeling changes shape into an SCV, the mineral/vespene it mines goes to its owner's resource supply! wouldn't that make this unit so much more useful? leeching off the enemy player? | ||

I cant help but doubt they'll not miss the scv leaving their base and going to yours, and i dont see how putting resources into their main building will give them to you(if this is the approach youre going for) | ||
