David Kim has recently posted a new blog with some more balance discussion and community concerns regarding it.

Mass Mutalisks vs. Protoss

This has remained a community concern since we commented on the issue at BlizzCon. In light of the community’s consistent feedback, we’ve decided to re-evaluate our decision to address this issue in Heart of the Swarm though, as I mentioned in my last Q&A, we prefer to avoid making major design changes until an expansion, since that’s a time when unit changes and dramatic shifts in strategy are all to be expected. At the moment, we’re investigating how much of an impact mutalisks have on the PvZ in order to gauge whether a change is truly necessary, and if so, when the most appropriate time would be to implement a change. If the data suggests that we should make a move sooner, then changing the protoss phoenix seems like it could be the best approach. Still, due to the significant impact it could have on all protoss match ups, we’re being very careful.

Nydus Worm is Too Inconsistent -- Make It More Like the Overlord Transport

We’d like to see nydus worms used more often, and we’re contemplating some changes to achieve that goal. The idea for the nydus was for it to have greater rewards while being more difficult to pull off versus overlord drops. So, in that light, nydus worms being less consistent than overlord transport is intended. We still want to preserve that risk vs. reward ratio, and the zerg already have the overlord transport and they don’t need another identical or very similar method of transporting units. Thank you for this suggestion, and we will discuss ways we can have nydus see more play without changing the design of the unit.
