Marauders do less damage even WITH stim against zealots then marines do. Please learn the game before you comment and yes his advice was fucking terrible. You are just proving more and more that you dont really know what you are talking about. You are saying a maurader will only win vs a zealot if he kites it, which if the player has any form of common sense at all WILL KITE THE ZEALOT every time. Why wouldn't he kite it? Seriously, you are assuming someone will just run their maurader into a zealot and not micro it at all? The point of getting shells early is specifically TO KITE UNITS. Lastly, once again you are proving that you're kinda clueless. Mauraders do worse with stim? Are you being serious right now? The point in stimming a maurader vs a zealot is to capitalize on THE KITING. You stim and kite, allowing more than just 1 shot, you can kite 1 shot, and stand still for 1 shot, then kite 1 shot, then stand still due to the shooting/moving speed of a stimmed maurader. If you are actually sitting here attempting to argue that a zealot beats a maurader, then you honostly are the newbie giving bad advice. BTW watch a few MorroW replays (his games against socke) He opens with really fast 1 rax maurader rush with really fast shells. He moves out with 2 mauraders, and it absolutely rapes any units attempting to attack him. If mauraders were really that bad against zealots, this build would be totally useless, yet it's actually really strong. Go do some research. | ||

If we're talking early game you just get stalkers or zealots only with maybe 1 sentry to forcefield the ramp, i guess we're agreeing then. I figured since you were talking about unit composition you meant later on. Stalkers are still worse than marauders but chrono boost gives you enough of a boost that any really fast proxy barracks or something you can defend because once you get warpgates out or a stargate he's in trouble. | ||

Sure force field, that just prevents your zealots from being able to attack me. /facepalm If we're talking early game you just get stalkers or zealots only with maybe 1 sentry to forcefield the ramp, i guess we're agreeing then.

It rly depends wut build your going. I rly like pumping out early sentrys if Im gonna take my double gas early and have maybe 2/3 zealots. You pump sentrys very fast in the early game so you have the energy to do a timing push or if you just want to have a good army in the mid game b/c building sentrys later than the midgame isnt rly viable now. If your only taking 1 gas tho for a 4gate or really fast 3 gate expand then stalkers are defiently the better choice. Or if u have to deal with a proxy barracks | ||
