Unix Eggs

In a recent ish patch, unix eggs were made invincible until they hatch which makes then a very unique skill. I love to use then to wall people off trap people and the like. Its like a wall that you can build however you want all while getting to spam click which is always fun. But from this there come two problems.

 

1) The Zera ult into everlasting invincible unix eggs

 

2) In past times, if you threw all 10 unix eggs at a undefended tower the tower would kill a number of them before they could hatch and then the rest before they could do much dmg. But late game unix can sneak up to a T3 tower shoot up all eggs after the creep wave goes by and port out. Those ten eggs will do half the T3 towers health before they are gone. Maybe this isnt a problem in Ih but it just feels downright dirty when i do it in pubs. Perhaps giving the eggs health but making them immune to anything but true dmg (as that's what the towers deal). and maybe its not even a real problem but i thought it was worth mentioning. [unix can also take out T1 and T2 towers by just throwing ten marines and then throwing out more as they get off cd.]

I agree with making them take true damage, as then there would be an alternate way to deal with unix eggs, since you could get contam shard or cerebro and gravity edge to kill them when they do the pool wall off strat with zera, unix, and maar. I have recently seen the new thread in bug reports about how lurker can warp shard into a spot in enemy pool where towers don't reach, then spawn kill, which would be particularly troll with pool walling off.

If indeed Unix's backdooring is too strong..

 

Having Unix's eggs susceptible to true damage sounds fair. The lack of true damage on the field until Gravity Edge or Contamination Shard comes out, and the fact that this provides a soft solution to the "Zeratul Bubble Perpetuation" makes it reasonable. It does create some small weaknesses to Dustin or Akasha in perhaps the early game but that is not game breaking. Players should be able to respond somehow to eggs.
