Now I've heard people say this and always thought "haha so funny" kinda like the 1a2a3a jokes, but now I downright believe it. The most frustrating moment I've had in SC by far.

So I get contained in a PvT on Destination after I fail to defend an FD push and think "Meh, this has happened to me before. I'll just push once my zealots get here." So since I'm stuck behind the bridges doing nothing I decide to go reaver harass. It's pretty successful, except for the fact that he floated his rax to see above the cliff and is now seiged up behind my natural and front. I had around 5 zeals or something and two control groups of goons. Since he was behind me and saw he had only 4 or so tanks in front, I decided to come out. Only to have my goons block up the ramp and let the tanks take free shots, killing all my units. Out of frustration I suicide my shuttle into a turret, start swearing (IRL and ingame), and then gg. QQ. Stupid goons -__-"

Dragoons are notorious for their refusal to obey commands, I'm not at all surprised to see a thread like this.

If left alone, I agree. They'll run up to a stopped shuttle, then just kind of float around, but if you keep your eye on them they're usually pretty good at obeying. Same with Goliath.

Dragoons you can tell to do a command and they'll just stop =(
seriously next disrespectful comment in this blog is ip ban. Be happy or get the hell out. // SC2 is like playing with neutral-colored Play-Doh while BW is like colorful Legos.

If scourge were any smarter they would be too powerful imo.

And that is coming from a zerg.

Scourge, Infested Terran, Dragoon, Goliath. Idiots of StarCraft.

And agree with above. Perfect cloning + perfect AI would be so cheap. You would never have to worry about hitting science vessels ever again, and scourge-ling would be more viable.

the 'frozen goon' is a common problem ... spam "hold" to unfreeze

in my opinion its a huge flaw in the game design, and damages starcrafts "professionality".

scourges retardedness, and reaver retardedness have to be considered aspects of the game,
but freezing goons is awful and i definitely think they should have been fixed by now.

Actually goons just require hella baby sitting

So far I haven't had any problems with them except for the occasional glitch

(good thing too lol)

Lurker's bug ( 40dmg when they die ) is also really painful.
I only play terran on UMS but when i try to beat some micro maps like rines vs lurks this makes me soooooooo mad

If a lurker is killed at the very exact moment of his attack, the spine makes x2 dmg so it kills a rine in one shot.
Oh wait It usually kills like 4 or 5 rines if they are clumped.
Quite imba and random huh.

Free = goon whisperer.

The only thing that makes scourge dumb are those times when they freeze before hitting a unit...that pisses me off sooo much in situations where it could have turned the battle, like sniping observers when toss is trying to break out of a contain...T_T.

haha..

I would say goons and scarabs are the most annoying. Scourge kind of need that freeze time or else sniping mutalisks, sairs and vessels wouldn't require any micro.

I remember the first time I discovered the goon freeze clitch. It was pvp and I ended up losing like 5 probes to a zealot as I tried to figure out why the fuck my goon wouldnt move.

Marines and medics stop as often as dragoons, but it only happens in small numbers.

It has happened hundreds of times that my 2-3 marines chase a probe and I think like oh it will die now, so I put my second fact up (hidden) but then one of the marines get stuck so the probe scouts it and I'm like T.T

Yes! I hate it when those fuckers decide to just sit there and not even shoot. What's worse, is when I'm trying to snipe a cannon, and instead of shooting scarabs, it crawls it's slow ass towards the cannon to get pwned.
