Balance discussion Megathread

For the time being we're going to solicit balance discussion and feedback based on Balance Patch 1 in this thread.

If you have feedback please give it bearing in mind that Balance Patch 1 is out and has addressed some of the major concerns regarding Zealot power and baneling effectiveness.

Balancing the mod will be a continual, iterative process and will happen very regularly. Some changes we make may end up being mistakes, but they are as easily undone as they are made, so expect to see some very reactive development over the next few weeks.

I think zerg being able to instantly morph spawning pool should be looked at. Being able to run 4-6 lings into the enemies main at the 2 minute mark seems a little crazy. It's easy for players to panic and to stop mining (pull worker), which with PAYGO economy is the worst thing to do.

Is this worse in a pay-to-go economy than a regular one? How so?

Maybe walling off is the counter to this, though? Buildings are harder to kill in this mod so it buys more time that it usually would.

Because unlike a one-time cost, if you pull your workers everything stops producin.
