Of course it was removed, it would be OP beyond OPness.

Hmmmm.... Fungle + Burrowed Blings = No Bio. Ever.

It would force Terran to use Ravens every game. It would force Toss to use Robotic every game. It wouldn't effect ZvZ as much but ALL other matchups would suffer.

I usually don't say no to a Zerg buff but that would be absurd.
Glad they came to their senses and removed it... now just get NP back in the game and give Overseers some abilities....

Of course it would be nightmare o_O I wanted to ask so I could prepare for it in case it stayed :D

Was removed because terrans are too lazy to make ravens for mobile detection

I wonder if they tried tweaking the burrowed movement speed. In that build the burrowed banelings were moving as fast as burrowed infestors. Of course that will be OP.

But if they move at the speed of the old OL, that could would be cool.

Overall, yeah it was too good to be true..

Meh, Blizzard is giving us only things to destroy terrans in HOTS, The Viper for the tanks, the cloud for the Bio.. Nothing much vs the protoss, I don't think I need more than my bane + lings + festor to defeat a Terran Army, I'm still feared of protoss stalker deathball.. not even about colossus

Roachlingviper will be amazing all game long. Forget about when they get collosi ending the game. You could even do a late transition into it and still be fine.
I don't think they thought through the unit at all. Just went with the gimmickiest funny units that look kinda cool they could think of.

i really wish we got more then one unit. this game is a !@#$ing joke, sure it wouldent really affect it ,but it would be nice with more then 1 extra unit in hots..

It's the upgrades that are nuts. Burrow charge, speed hydras, that sort of thing. I'm sure there's stuff I missed.

Is infestation pit still the required prerequisite for Hive?
Always felt a bit funky and arbitrary that only one of 3 lair techs opened hive. (spire hydra infest)
If i want to go roach ling viper why am i making an infestation pit?

And yes i understand infesters are the nuts but if they aren't part of my comp why am i building it?

and by the way sure the uppgrades are cool and that stuff.

fast hydra brilliant. but i still want more then one unit. hydra is a roach speed but squishier and higher dps. wont do so much in big fights anyway vs the death ball of toss and mnmnm and siege tank vs terran.

but im not sure. i mean i cant really discuss this properly cus i havent seen the hydra good and i havent really been able to play it XD ( obviusly ).
