The army selection feels very restricted. They have a serious activation defficiency as it is with only a quarter of points on synapse. The respawn thing has potential but it limits them to one mode of play. This is bad for replayability.
I used to play nids in 40k. You can absolutely muller your opponent with them for 2-4 games if they've never met nids before but they soon adapt and there is a limit to how much you can do to change your strategy reduceing the game to target selection.

In my opinion, the 'nids are the hardest out there to balance, just because of the radically different way that their army is laid out. In particular, the synapse issue is a big one: do you give them more, making them more powerfull, or reduce, restricting force options and strategy? Maybe this is why it has been a long time since a revised list, and one not slated till Sept. 
my 2cents,
