It’s not hellion cyclone that’s the deterrent to queens getting an armoured tag. it’s immortal shield battery all ins. I think the transfuse and creep nerfs have done the job.

Does the idea of having to make actual fighting units to defend your greedy early game plays make your head spin? Because unlike Zerg, I dont see Terran or Protosses macro mechanics wiping entire pushes and creating entire build orders like the queen does. The queen is a macro mechanic that can even be massed to allin. When is the last time chronoboost or 10 mules got dropped and wiped an army? That’s right never.
Spin? That sounds like a wonderful dream. No zerg makes queens because they are good units. They make them because they are actually capable of keeping the zerg alive at a price the zerg can afford at those stages of the game. If players had ANY alternative they’d use it.
In HotS you only needed 3 queens if you were good with injecting and 1 queen for creep spread. Now you need 8 or 10 just to survive the early game. Take me back to the days of HotS, when I could defend any terran allin with 2 base muta and could immediately fly across the map and kill the terran, and I’d be in heaven.
Zerg has to make two or three armies to beat just one army, and you are saying this makes zerg OP? Just how hard were you dropped as a baby?
If zerg could win fights with the same amount of supply as the opponent, it would be hugely buffed. Right now you can’t do that, but you also can’t go above 200 supply, thus you have to rely on remaxes to get the extra supply to win fights. This is a weakness, not a strength.
I mean, one good way to kill that super unkillable queen is to use the really hard power of passing the mouse over it and pressing yamato.

that unkillable part was sarcastic lol
As someone who plays all 3 races at a respectable level, let me try here.
The problem with the Queen has nothing to do with the Queen. It has to do with your larva management and how Queens enable you to essentially skip combat units for a while, even if it’s not harass but a frontal push.
This means you can play insanely greedy with minimal risk which snowballs the game very fast in the Zerg’s favor.
I don’t know what the solution is but Zerg need incentive to make real units to hold frontal aggression, not just Queens and maaaaybe a few lings.

Bring back mutas. I’d be giddy if I could go 2 base muta, hold literally any terran allin with ease and then fly across the map and kill a terran player even though he’s turtling up with turrets on 2 bases.
You cry about the queen being op, but the queen isn’t a strength - it’s a weakness. Zerg can’t make defensive units without them being super glued to creep and having 0 offensive potential. This means if the zerg just wants to survive, he MUST forfeit the ability to be aggressive.
That’s not the solution. lol.
A) The only way to change a weakness, without deleting zerg, is to buff it. That’s a fact.
B) if being aggressive is so bad, if 2 base muta would be SO intolerable, then we need to leash the BC to command centers even harder than queens are leashed to hatcheries.
Oh, he knows it’s easier. He hates when I say it, but he will begrudgingly admit it.
That’s good on him. It is respectable that he can recognize the facts and admit that terran’s design has gone off the rails. It’s better than Dank who claims to be objective and them states that terran should never be allin - that terran should be able to macro no matter how far behind he is.
He admits Zerg is easier…
There are also people who say the earth is flat.
Such an interesting change of opinions on him the instant he disagreed with you. Just like when Artosis said Zerg had the best casters or when Beasty said Zerg had the easiest micro.
the BC is no nice guy. But sometime it takes an OP battlecruiser to clean up the corruption in washington.
No Zerg makes queens because they are good units lmfao, that is why they make them and mass them. They are cheap near invincible defense once you add I’m transfuse. They even destroy the BC rush. You complain about Terrans low tier units killing high tier units, your macro mechanic the queen destroys T3 battleships for just minerals. Get over yourself, the BC isnt going anywhere just like your queens will forever plague this game.
Do you really expect a factless conspiracy theory to hold as much weight as a logical and factual conclusion?
Zerg player plays up his own accomplishments and denies the struggles of others: “logical and factual conclusion.”
Zerg player sees past his own struggles and agrees with EVERY pro player on the planet earth: “factless conspiracy theory.” 
Batz hasn’t noticed that the TCF has lost control of battlenet forums. Most threads are now just ghost/bc OP.
Are the threads about the ghost cloaked?
