I mostly get the impression when reading the posts that everyone have got too used to play with same tactic: with lost and lots of escape methods (and especially haste) in use.
And since stasis removes most of then people get shocked.
Yes, formicids are a challenging race. But challenging and hard to play doesn't equal bad.
Even -2HP + stasis + -pois doesn't mean unplayable.
These are of course a matters of opinion. Some will continue to hate formicids while some will continue to have fun playing with them.
devs can't please everyone. In this particular matter, I'm pleased and have to thank devs for an interesting race.
