The question is just how big of a difference will it mean to the early game? We need to put things into perspective here. You can still build a lot of roaches. You just have to make extra overlords first.
The way things were before you had to have 1400 minerals to make 16 roaches. That's 75*16 roaches + 100*2 overlords. Now it requires 1600 minerals to make 16 roaches. It's not nearly as big of a nerf as some are making it out to be.
