Either that or you have bupkiss unit production because you went straight to lair and sacrificed getting a queen.
They're not wasted units by any means. Vs. MMM, Roach/hydra is pretty good, as is Roach/baneling/infestor. If your plan is to go muta/baneling then I suppose the roaches aren't great, but still throw them into your attack, they're good. Vs. Protoss, they're pretty resilient against Psi storm and can tank enough damage for your infestors to mind control colossi. Mass roach is not bad unless you're going against mass marauders, immortals, or air units

Balancing the least played and weakest race doesn't make it the best.

I think the first patch pretty much leveled out the playing field.

Exactly. And if you get roaches, your midgame gets mad delayed.

Queens CAN work... but you have to do awesome micro, and they're better at defense

I've found myself enjoying the Zerg, and not using Voids when I go Toss anyway, so...
