1 reaper = triple cc, applying ling pressure is viable
2 reaper = fast factory, no ling pressure
no reaper = fast factory, no ling pressure USUALLY. harder to tell with no reaper, but you can pretty safely assume quick fact

before making engagements, spawn changeling and send them in before you attack, so you don't flank yourself or walk into a tank line or something

spores are your best friend right now, in zvp you can zone the map with swarm/spore and pick off big units with viper until you can counter his army comp
in zvt, 1 spine and spores at all bases will save your ass; spores + queen means the drop will have to boost out before the drop is done, so 1 spine is sufficient, usually. obvious exception for doom drops.

keep overlords on all drop paths/extra bases, either to scout for your own expansion, or to goop the spawn to delay

same thing with lings, between lings and good creep spread you should never get caught off guard by a flank or push
