I think this might be an overnerf as well, losing 9 damage, even though they do more initial damage might be too much. Though I never really massed VRs, but now I'd probably skip them altogether and get carriers.
They might still be usable, but I haven't tried it out yet. When I get VRs, it's usually for economic harass. This should actually make the VRs stronger against queens if I understand it correctly, so that might make up for the less damage against armored (i.e., buildings usually in my case).
This one I really don't like, though I feel like it shouldn't be that big of a deal since toss always had to do this and can still apply early pressure.
yeah I guess. It just delays the really early barracks builds, like 8/9 rax.
I never really had problems against reapers. Moving their speed to requiring factory before the other nerfs wouldn't have been bad, but at this point the reaper has become almost useless.
+1
This will make MMM more difficult, since medivacs tended to fall behind anyway.
I think they kept up except when the army was stimmed. They may even have gone ahead sometimes since they were faster. They're still faster than unstimmed MM.
Very necessary, all of the zerg tech buildings are still weaker than the terran/toss equivalent and usually cost more.
Yeah I agree. The cost/hp does not make any sense. Even within the zerg race itself (e.g., compare spawning pool vs. spire).
2. Corruptors: no more energy. Have to wait to use the corruption ability after they spawn, but still very effective vs. Protoss. It also nullifies any ghost EMPs from terran, though I don't think players usually get corruptors vs. terran.
I don't think I ever really had a problem with feedback or EMP, so this is kind of whatever.
In one late game as Protoss, I had a high templar and colossus army (and only a few stalkers) vs. corruptors and I used feedback to kill many of the corruptors. Maybe they thought that scenario was unbalanced?
I might actually make some roaches.
They've fallen out of favor a bit but they were still fairly commonly used.

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...
