StarCraft 2 Zerg Roach Test - Regeneration - Early Beta

How fast is the Roaches regeneration rate? This video will answer that question. My current stand on roaches. They are not overpowered but there needs to be some tweaking to how fast it regenerates.

One thing to Note: I didn't test MOVING the roach while burrowed either. I'm sure it could survive against 4 Zealots if it was moving.

this is not unbalanced noobs. crota is QQing as usual thats why he sucks!

@xkill3rx this was early beta and blizzard made the changes that I suggested. this was more for a look into how the game has changed since early beta.

Sorry but i cant get through to this...

There has been a huge discussion about the "roach problem" and i think to this date its pretty okay. I mean... How often do you see someone go freaking bananas with roach burrow? And i think a decent player will be able to deal with a  burrowed roach dude o.O

So instead of going like "OLOL THIS IS WEIRD MUST NERF" ask yourself "How often have i encountered this problem?"

@AJGNW This was from early beta. Back when roaches were one food, has two armor and double regen. This was a trip down memory lane.

So a unit with a tier 3 upgrade that can't fight back needs something other than a tier 1 unit to kill it....oh yes, terribly overpowered....Starcraft 2 is a game of hard counters. By the time zerg gets that upgrade for the roaches, protoss better have immortals. Also, while the roaches are unburrowed, they don't regenerate that quickly. Finally, the super fast regen has potential for some good micro. If microd well, the roach wins unless the opponent can do some sick maneuvers himself.

[BlizShouter]

Did you see the fight of immortal vs Roaches?

[TheLiquidPepper]

@MoparDRVR Wow, you are really stupid.

[TEHspy]

wow looking back reminds me how much roaches were nerfed... back then zerg acfually had a chance against a 200/200 T or P army... this regen did seem broken but they shouldn't have nerfed the supply and armor that was unecessary.

[joelpalkia]

i wish roaches were that good.

[staplesferreri]

Even if it is not a problem now what about when they increase roach range? This isn't marine vs collosus where they get owned the roach isn't even fighting back

[AJGNW]

@BlizShouter Aw shit. I just totally made an ass of myself >.>

[vvolfy11]

@xkill3rx Crota is fine, you should learn some manners...

[rustybubble2]

@BlizShouter Perhaps you should indicate this is Beta in the title, it may be misleading now ;)

[Pokedude1013]

For those saying OMG QQ you do realize Blizzard actually acknowledged they were imbalanced and reduced the regen rate right? You're just making yourselves look stupid.
