Isn't Nydus Worm gone?

No; they just renamed it.

I'm asking for your current impresion, ok

My current impression is that we have not seen enough of the Zerg to be able to accurately gauge their current state.

Where is the Offensive Creep usage? Where are the Nydus-based attacks? Where are the Mutalisks? Where are the Overlord/Baneling bombing runs being done on hapless Zealots and Marines? Where are the Overseers with Transfusion to heal units in combat?

There are a lot of things that could be happening in Zerg play that we're not seeing.

I think nueral parasite, hunter seeker and force field are all imbalanced. If they leave the game like this Zerg, Terran and Protoss will always win.

Ya something about the force field does seem.. i meen it was always used and it always worked. I think it needs a longer cool down or something. or more energy taken up. Its really freaking effective. Or perhaps be able to attack it.

You missed the point of my post.

[Warsaw]

You missed the point of my post.

Well then why dont you inform me on the point of your post instead of just saying I missed the point of your post. That might actually help more.

[ArcherofAiur]

Sorry that was kinda rude. Its that their is a difference between a racial benifit and an imbalance. Heading out door. Ill explain it better when I get back.

Read the last part of his sentence and then tell me if you get it.

(Hint: Only one race can "always win")

Ohoo... lol... I feel embarrased. Excuse me while I go into exile for a few days.

Now that weve succesfully exiled Warsaw Ill just clarify what I meant by imbalances arnt the same thing as racial benifits.

Imbalance has been used so much on these forum that it has taken on a meaning that far exceeds its intended use.

Starcraft is a game about balanced imbalances. Each unit can do something powerful that no other unit can do (with the exception of possibly workers). It is this kind of overpowered feeling that makes the game so fast paced and exciting. Now thats not to say that situations cant arise where one element is so powerful that it detracts from other areas of gameplay. But in order to figure out if this is the case you have to look at that element in combination with all the other parts of the system. This means actually playing the game.
