For once, fuck "balance" too. This is my indulgent whine thread.

Fuck mutas. Easy, auto win, build-30-and-sit-on-my-mineral-line bullshit units. Unless I have half my army sitting behind 80 trillion turrets at each base, I can kiss my production and my expansions goodbye. Want to kill my army? Just snipe my tanks and then 1a over the rest. You could camp my reinforcements too, killing off any hopes of getting what I need to kill an expansion. Or an army. Or a queen. Or even a fucking creep tumor.

Fuck that whining about marines and thor. Go where my army CANT MOVE and poof, the SCVs I had are gone. Or my supply depots. Or my desperate PDD. Or the turrets I had up to buy time to trade bases.

The next time Blizzard patches something, I want fucking marines with jetpacks. T2 tech. They will also do splash damage. Even if it comes with the caveat that every other Terran unit does 2 damage, I'll play TvZ will a great fat happy smile on my face, knowing that any Zerg player that tries to go mutas will be so horribly fisted by my Ultramarines (or Black Templar if they get swords), they will quit SC2. Forever. The way it should be.


God bless you Infestor players. You give the rest of us a chance.

LOL... I'd have players going muta than infestors anyday, sorry. All you need are two turrets, then add on more(3-5) depending on how many you see. Infestors just rape your entire army....

As people have said, once you vs zergs who use infestors half good, you'll have rage even more.

4-5 fungals and there goes like 40 marines.

You do realize that if he ignores where your army is and tries to harass your base that you can pretty much just a-move yourself and do a metric fuck-ton of damage to him, right?

Oh wait - it's easier to just bitch and complain. Never mind.

LOL I love it when zergs go mass mutalisks. They're usually accompanied by lesser amount of ling/bane so marine/thor/tank is much stronger.

Wow, you want marines to get buffed. Like they're not good enough already. Have you ever thought about leaving 10 marines and a medivac in your main along with the turrets you have?

Of the two T2 Evils that Zerg has, I would chose Infestors as the easier to deal with. Every game I've played against Infestors, I feel the need to expand hard, because there is no threat of mutalisks. Also, my opponents don't seem to have many banelings, So I cut hard into my tank production to get upgrades/medivacs/more Marines. Then I send My 3/3 Marines everywhere, Sniping hatches like its nobody's business. I have decent Marine splitting, and versus Infestors I feel like I make my opponent spend alot more energy to kill my Marines. Against Mutalisks, I automaticly feel like i must spam 4+ turrets at each mineral line, and more at my production facilities so my add-on's don't get sniped.
Team Liquid needs more Terrans.

Get some thors if you're that afraid. Have a 1-2 thors and 3-4 turrets near your mineral line and you're golden.

No, no, no, no. I don't want them buffed. I want them ULTRA buffed. Terrible, terrible damage does not begin to described how much I want them buffed. When Blizzard is done buffing them they'll look like THIS.

And I've played some good infestor players. It is frustrating, but its something I can deal with, for the most part.

Thats exactly the way I really feel. I play drop heavy, so its more of a luxury to play vs infestor players than muta players. Theres also something psychologically scary about a literal cloud of mutas hovering over your army/base.

I actually love it when zerg players mass up mutalisks as it means I won't have to deal with infestors, which are 100x worse

Something like this? Don't need to wait for a patch. If it helps, as a zerg I rage pretty hard at marines as they are already.

What league are you in?? I dont know how you could prefer to face infestors over mutas. As others have said, throw down like 5 turrets and keep some marines around your mins or make a thor.

I actually think I am better at denying drops with infestors than with muta because everytime I sent my muta to deny the drops, it can lose one or even two mutas. Whereas one infestor and some lings can just deal with a drop no problem

Dear 50% of the SC2 Strategy Forum:

Blatant balance whine done correctly is really really fun.

Sincerely

Fellow Muta Hater

Even as a zerg player I feel your pain...in ZvZ. Mutas are a bitch man. Get all the hate out in the blogs so it doesn't cloud your game.

Yeah mutas fucked me up a lot, to the point where I learned you kind of have to base your entire game plan around countering them. Infestors I don't mind quite as much, if I'm diligent with marine splitting and tank focus-firing I can generally do ok, and ghosts are just the icing on the cake. It's those damn mutas that cause me more trouble

LOL, balance whine done right! Not thinly veiled 'this is not a balance whine thread' thread in the strat or general forum. More people should vent like this! You brought a smile to my face, OP.

Needless to say as a terran player, I approve of this thread.

I prefer muta ling bling over infestor ling stephano style though .

If it ever comes to an engagement between his marines and the zerg's mutas.

He suggested Jet Packs as a solution which would be awesome.
