I win TvZ probably half the time.

Whenever I lose, I'm facing mutas, lings, banelings, some roaches that completely surround me and kill everything. I am outmacro'ed and doomed. Then I am forced to GG.

Whenever I win, I'm facing lings, roaches, hydras (lol noob). And this is always followed by "you're so lucky. cheesy noob. f u terran faggot" or something like "fuking Terran ez mode. You're so bad I don't see how you win" *Player leaves*

I'm so imbalanced!

Well forcing one race to play only one composition in X matchup may sign that some units are UP in this matchup. Also BMing is a wrong way.

Pro Tip: Never think playing Banelings vs Mass Marine is too "Newbie" and "easy". Roaches won't do so good...

Obviously he wants to tell people how terrible of a player he is, if he can pick Terran and STILL lose half his TvZs.

Clearly a sympathy blog, no?

Let's try to turn this thread into something less useless:

Terran players, why do most of you choose medivac marine marauder as your main unit composition in TvZ? Whenever I play Zerg it seems really easy to deal with. Infestor / ling / bling just completely roflstomps it when some decent micro. On the other hand, I can never beat terran players that go tank / thor / helion.

When I play terran I also find the latter way more effective

So you're saying Zerg players can be classified as Zergs who go muta/ling/bane/roach and Zerg players who go roach/hydra/ling? And former are good and the latter are whiny?

it's hard to chirp a zerg about their unit composition when terran can throw every unit at their disposal together and make a combination that's strong against anything, and it's not out of the ordinary to do so. common to see marines, marauders, tanks, thors, vikings, medivacs, in a single game, while zerg is forced into a certain composition of 3-4 units units to maybe survive.

you have it right when you say you get out macroed and then lose. the macro's what the winners are doing and the losers are not.
How's the weather down there?

I think he's trying to make the point that Zergs who know what they're doing roflstomp him, but Zergs that don't and then complain how he's the overpowered one.

hrmm, i feel that the 2 types of zerg players are something more like this:
1. (more common): The Zergs who jump on the "imba" bandwagon and use it as an excuse for their losses. example: Most low-level zergs

2. (rare/uncommon): The Zergs who don't cry "imba" until they are absolutely certain that something is actually wrong with the game, and have tried every possible option prior to giving in. example: professional zergs.

Conclusion: All Zergs cry "imba."

hydra right now are quite possibly the worst fucking unit to go against terran. Terran literally don't have units that aren't amazing against hydras. Lets think about it:

-marine: no explanation needed
-marauder: doesn't do extra damage to light armoured, but it does slightly less dmg than marines for the mineral price so they are good, not to mention marauder + concussive shells = hydra's slower than my fucking grandma who telling me my hydra's are under attack
- reaper: extra damage against light units
- hellion: extra damage against light
- thors: I believe they 2 shot hydras but Im not sure, still every cost effective
- tanks: no explanation needed

even the raven is good because of the point defence drone, and medivacs are wonderfaul against hydra's because of the speed of the drops terran can use is faster than hydra speed.

I basically never go hydra's zvt. I stick to staying alive, which means roaches for hellions or reapers, lings for marauders, banelings for marines. Then I get my muta out and I have the freedom of not worrying about dying immediately. Sometimes I get a good muta harras sometimes not, but in the meanwhile I get upgrades going, a third base and hive tech for ultras. Once I have ultra baneling, I can 1a into anything he has. And if he takes too much expo's I just make more muta and so some harras. Im currently a 1050 diamond zerg

What kind of situation is that?
Opponent has 5banshees yet zerg didn't go mutalisks? First I question why you didn't go mutalisks in the first place. Second I wonder why you don't transition into mutalisks when you see banshees.
