A theory why Zerg seems underpowered.

I easily gained more minerals than any other race, the extra spawn of larva is a great macro mechanic, the most easy for me to learn it

But they're supposed to boost a progamer's macro while at the same time making it more difficult to micro. If they're easy to use, all progamers will use them, and it will be the same than if the mechanics didn't existed.

Well I say so, because it was easy for me, I don't know about other people.

Honestly you can't fully judge a race from the get go until people develop killer strategies, but if there's useless units already like the infestor that's a problem. Even if there's 1 useless unit in an army that's a huge huge problem. It's not going to be used, one less counter, and the loss of a potentially really useful unit.

And there's a lot of problems, some minor, with the race. It's not just, Aha nobody uses Nydus worm so it's bad. The whole race needs some love

Right now its still to early to judge, yes I know we have all heard it before but the saying is true. The game is still in limited hands and has not developed a pure meta game, strict build orders nor are these races played to their fullest yet. We can TheoryCraft all we want, but until we drop our pens/papers and our furry youtube videos to really play the game, nothing can really be said.

With that said, if Zerg is the strongest race by far, we all expect Blizzard to do something about it.

Terran has a balanced race and one that can change it's force quickly, and bring reinforcements quickly, Protoss have powerful units that are highly mobile. Almost all of the Protoss units have a purpose and they're all well done. Zerg have what? I can't name a thing, really. The Queen? The Queen hasn't been good since it was in the "hero" style. The Ultralisk? Yea I guess..but that's not much and it comes in at the end of the game. Idk, Zerg just feel all out lame. At this point they should just reuse almost everything from the first game. Banelings are the coolest thing they have.
