Karune has just announced the next community discussion topic - the Zerg Creep:
Discussion Topic: Zerg Creep
One of the distinct features of the Zerg is their fast movement, quick reactions and their large numbers. With the newest changes to the StarCraft II build these attributes are bound to reinforced once more.
Here are a couple of changes to the Zerg:
Zerg units except Drones can now move 30% faster on creep
Creep Tumors are smaller and burrowed
These changes will have a big impact on Zerg strategy, since covering terrain with Creep will now be very important. We will see Overlord rushes with mass spewing of creep and Zerg fast micro on creep. The burrowed Creep Tumors will force the other races to get quick detection to push back the Zerg Creep and take their fast movement.
Questions for Fans:
What do you think of the speed increase on Creep?
How do you think this change will effect Zerg, Protoss and Terran?
Do you like or dislike the change? Why?
Were looking forward to seeing great discussions on the Zerg Creep.
In addition, Karune also posted these clarifications:
Keep in mind, the actual percentages and numbers are all subject to balance. The primary discussion should be about the new game mechanic, and how this could affect strategies on all sides.
Also, don't forget that Overlords (with the prerequisite of Lair) can spread creep, and creep that touches enemy (non-Zerg)buildings, damages those buildings.
With this new information we encourage you to post your well-thoughtout responses either as comments here or in our official BlizzForums discussion thread. At the end of the discussion period - we'll personally write-up a summary review on what you, our members, think. The report will be sent directly to Blizzard. So be heard - debate/discuss/respond to these fundamental Zerg changes.
