the only problem i see is that your only going to get this ability late tier 2...at which point Terrans would be able to have Ravens, or at the very least medivac's...rendering the ability useless for major assaults. and Protoss going for any kind of phoenix harrass would also easily have the means to negate the ability

I agree, I think it should be
1. Block LOS
2. Cloak units inside... so air based detectors are needed (since it is cast by an air based detector, it should be fine)

Also this is early Tier 2.... you can make Oversers as soon as you have a Lair, and this mmight take an upgrade, but that would probably not take too long.

Ravens are Tier 3, although Terrans have Comsat.

yeah, forgot Ravens were 3...but Medivacs are certainly possible. and considering how effective they are the Terran would almost certainly have them. Still...it wouldn't be long after that before Raven's are out.

This is an overseer ability. When you upgrade them to overseers you gain the ability to make this cloud, and loose spew creep and dropping units. So however long it takes to mutate is how long after Lair you can use it. So it should be 1-2mins into Lair tech.

Good point about Comsat. This ability may actually be a good way to force Terrans to waste Comstat charges, even dropping a cloud just for that propose could be nice.

Ravens and Medivacs are both T3. All Terran air is T3 (except BC which is T3.5/4 (whatever you want to call it)). Protoss air is just as deep in tech, so if either of them are going for early air units then you will have 5mins max of airless advantage with this ability to take advantage of (3 or so if it does require an upgrade to get).

There is also the chance that the enemy does not push straight to air, in which case you will have longer for it to be at full potential. (Especially against Terran, since imo Toss are more likely to take observers even if they don't have any other air units in their build because it is there only source of mobile detection).
Edit:Fixed.. It's overseer tech
