Yeah, roaches are trash because everything Protoss will follow up with does bonus damage against them and outrange them. Mutas...I dunno, I've seen stalkers as a pretty common followup. Stephano's speedlings don't seem half bad tbh, but it seems like no matter what you make they can hard counter (i.e. speedlings won't look so great vs zealots/adepts).
I played a little tonight and was very curious if a lot of people would be trying that cheese after HSC. 2 or 3 people tried, though it was the base-outside-my-base variant and not the 3 pylon wall at ramp version. The first guy got up 3 gates but I went pool first after drone scouting so my hatch got up and I got spines down, it became a normal-ish game and I ran him over with army. 2nd game, guy got a gate up but could never get a cannon to finish and kept trying even as I streamed more and more lings out, was pretty funny.
