The Terran Dominion is attempting to be the unbreakable wall upon which the waves of its enemies crash on it. The Protoss are similar but subtly different, using their arcane magicks instead of wall upon wall of thick steel placed in the way of its foes. Zerg OTOH...somehow makes sense to have gribbly-moving tentacle buildings moving around for defenses.

Teleporting cannons no, tele-Queen and mobile crawly buildings yes.
Says who? Zerg having mobile defenses makes no more sense than for protoss.

This is solely based on opinion. Phasing cannons were fine. They needed something to counterbalance their weakness. Cannons are weak for their cost. Zerg defenses are already quite resiliant. Yes, they're expensive, but could take a pounding.

I suppose if Blizzard comes up with something to make up for this fiasco, then its fine, but come on.
