Ridiculous Ultra Buff Suggestion

Right, I know what you're thinking; "but ultras are utterly beastly, they cream everything late game" and yes, that is true. The problem with them is that they only cream everything late game. An early mid-game ultra push is but a dream for any who don't like to lose to the first push that comes, and ultra timing attacks just aren't viable in the same way as thor or colossus pushes are.

So, my solution. I'm sure most have noticed the impossibility of that massive ultralisk popping out of that tiny little egg, and all zerg players will have noticed their agonisingly long build time. My idea is to cut their build time in half and to have them spawn as pupal mini ultras(just like the ones in the secret campaign level, piercing the shroud) with drastically lower stats to match their diminutive stature, with them gradually maturing into full ultras over the rest of their build time. This would allow zerg players to get their ultras in position for a push a lot sooner, but also create tension for the zerg player to ensure their key units aren't sniped before their prime.

Naturally, I don't think blizzard will implement anything like this, as it'd probably be a bollock load of work for them. But still, wouldn't it be neat?
Saying what we think gives us a wider conversational range than saying what we know.

It'd be neat if you put this in a blog so to not clutter the general forum with stuff nobody wants to hear.

At least you were honest and included the word "ridiculous" in the thread title.

Ultralisks are fine.
If you think they are too late/it's too hard to get them, you should look at tier 2. I feel like zerg has a problem to contain his opponent before tier 3.

It'll never happen, but it's nice in a gloriously silly sort of way.
