Interesting New Zerg Change

Posted 23rd Jul 2008 12:23 PM by Darkstar

Karune has just posted an interesting new change on the Zerg Hydralisk on the Battle.net forums:

Blizzard Quote: (Source)
As an extra bonus, unrelated to this, but also would help is that Hydralisks have been moved back down to tier 1.5. More details about this move will be included in the next Q&A batch.

You can be sure we will keep you all updated as soon as the new Q&A Batch arrives.

You can see this change, and more in Troglodyte’s huge Collection of Blizzard Comments.

This will most likely result in a reduced stats as well.

I kind of liked the “upgraded” Hydralisk.  It showed that the unit had somewhat evolved since the original Starcraft and could better handle itself.

So do you think the roaches are going to earn the title of “most annoying enemy unit” in Starcraft 2?

Honestly, if they move them up a tier, they might fit better. Ofc needs an upgrade, but also, at that point, most races have ranged to handle them.

Or, they get cut.

I hope the Roaches don’t get cut, but I do wonder what made Blizzard bring the Hydralisk back to Tier 1.5.

Maybe Banelings will get the bump instead.

Indeed, at the moment, Banelings are the best defence against other Zerg primarily, tbh, such as Roaches. They won’t be as needed on low tier. Perhaps a buff and moved up?

Maybe both the Roach and the Hydra will be on the same tier but on different paths, though I don’t know how that would affect the tech tree.
