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!   | ||

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

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 | ||

And former are good and the latter are whiny? 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. | ||

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. | ||

-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 | ||

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. | ||

Do you know how ZvT was in SC1? -_- Going hydra vs terran was pretty much suicide in that game too. Only time hydra/lurker was useful in SC1 was vs pure SK Terran. That's why muta opening was considered standard play. Either 2 hatch or 3 hatch muta, and no zerg cried about how ling/hydra was not viable. I'm a 1000+ zerg player and tbh I am bored with how badly I'm winning games nowadays, both ZvT and ZvP. Zerg is very very fast at adapting. All I have to do is correctly scout the other guy's build and get the counters up in time. And scouting is easy once you learn to read build orders and know how to counter early aggression and set up ling contains/runbys. I used to get beat on pretty hard in the mid-diamond level, but once my build orders were dialed in and I got a better understanding of what T and P can put out on one base or two base, I started to go on huge winning streaks. I think Z has a steeper learning curve than T or P, and needs a good bit more nuance and experience in understanding what beats what and how to react to death blobs, but after you've got that down, you'll see that Z is extremely powerful. Just because we can't mass all our units in stupid death blobs like T and P do, doesn't mean Z is underpowered. Just learn how to play with hit and run and several ctrl groups and PLAY to win, rather than just build units to win. You don't see JD crying when he has to scramble around with hundreds of units all over the screen and his lings/lurkers are always dying in droves, as Flash calmly just keeps rallying mass rines and SVs to the front of his base. The dynamic's the same as it has ever been. Don't like it, then don't play the swarm. Z has always been a race that requires tons of mass unit management at many diff places on the map. | ||
