    I'd thought about this at one point, but in the cold light of day I think I'd prefer the Zergling to morph into the Roach (while, yes, still allowing it to morph from Larva), it gains a fair bit (Hp, damage, range, regeneration), and doesn't lose much (speed maybe, and has a higher control cost), whereas with morphing Roach > Ultralisk you lose the range and regeneration, and it just really seems like two steps forwards then one back.

    You get two Zerglings per Larva, please, choose another unit

    Zerglings take 24 seconds to morph, Larva take ~20, so for the abilty to produce units in the middle of a battle, you lose 4 seconds, and depending on what they cost, 25 minerals each as well.

    You still have faster Roach production, because of two Zerglings per Larva, and because Larvae respawns while you morph them.

    Two Roaches per Larva isn't the same as 1 Roach per Larva. This can cause problems.

    Yeah, but you're probably only going to get 2 Roaches per 4 Larva in any case due to still wanting Zerglings, and also wanting Banelings.
