I’ve heard this idea floated. I personally think it would be a great idea, giving Zerg options with certain proxy all-ins at the cost of scouting.

this won’t work cause of over Usage of hallucinated Pheonix scouting from protoss and reaper scouting from Terran and in ZvZ it’s the overlord and or lings
the odds you can use it in offensive matter is very slim, you better off making proxy hatch but it be good way walling off or fighting against cannon rushes by just dropping over lord over pylon since he cant drop cannon. that what it was its main purposes when push that idea out.
As a zerg player, I think this is a bad idea because I like when protoss do cannon rushes. Being able to negate that would deny an entire game mode. The Swarm host should be looked at and tried to be more cohesive with how zerg plays. At the moment, swarm host game play is just too jenky for it to be useful.

This would make cannon rush more difficult but wont remove completely.
it would put it as defensive advantage vs offensive advantage as it is now. If spread pylons would force zerg that much over lords.
This would buy zerg time instead destroying his economy.
takes 5-7 drones to destroy pylon thats 40-100 minerals lost depending how fast zerg catches it. Dropping 3 pylons trying destroy them 120+ mineral list in mining. With over lords u can reduce that easy only 4 drones while having two over lords keep 2 pylons down.
Now secure natural without being hijacked which always hurt zerg and its so beneficial to terran and toss they should always do it. Its no longer strategic if it is must since how much it hurts Zerg.
Its most effective tool that can easily put zerg back couole minuts with all other harassment zerg have to deal with.
If teran can still do this but they have bait zerg to move his over lords if want to block it.
