I hate mech, I hate loosing to mech, I hate the fact that terran can turtle for 20 min and still pull out a win by using a few vultures for harassment. I hate it.

I love beating mech, I love when a turtling mech terran gets completely overrun, I love to deny vulture harass. I love it.

Therefore I will be posting some reps here in games where I beat mech. Just because I love it. I'm B- rank currently.

I like mech. I hate when I lose while meching, I love the fact I can turtle for 20 mins and still win because of a little vulture harassment. I love it.

I hate when zergs beat me, I hate when they overrun me, I hate when they deny my vulture harass. I hate it.

But meh, I ain't posting reps.

I love playing against mech. I hate losing to vultures or wraiths, but I love mass expoing and winning with a sauron style, or another typical ZvP strategy.

It's no fun to watch, but I like playing it. :3

i hate the fact that 2 base mech seems to be equal with 4 base zerg. And i hate it when mech is 2/2 and 3/3 with their goliaths.

I love mech when they mix valkaries with goliaths against my 2 carapace mutas lols.

i love mech when when they get the wrong unit compositions against me.

i think that is simply due to it being a timing build.

I would like mech more if it wasn't naturally countered by the most boring zerg unit in the game, the hydra. Lings, scourges, mutas, lurkers. Those are fun zerg units.

I hate it when Terrans go mech against me. If they went bio they would just die to my mass siege tank/gol/vulture push. But no, they go gay mech.

I hate how mech has made most terrans on iccup refuse to play on any map except for destination, even when it isn't a MotW.

I hate mech players, I love when a turtling mech terran gets completely overrun, I love watching vulture harass being denied. I love it.

I just started playing BW again after a year long hiatus and it's really depressing that the one matchup i used to love the most turned to shit with all this mech=[

Seems in the lower D ranks, mech seriously rapes Zerg.... Almost feels like playing ZvP :`( except harder for me at least... Any thoughts?

Edit: I don't play Terran at all and I can stilli own D zergs solidly with just mass goliaths ... How depressing is that?!?!

I love mech since you just need a few lings + a sunken to block your choke and they're behind already. Then just mass expand and go hydra muta :D Then pick off tanks while running hydras in. It's like a zvp with weaker hts and weaker lots. (But the hts live longer)

maybe im alone in this, but i love watching terrans use mech against zerg. i like watching bio, too, but a bunch of gols just stomping the place left and right is more awesome, plus its not as frequently used. it's like a bunch of transformers kicking ass.

I don't use mech because it isn't as fun. Microing rines and stuff is much more fun than running around with golis and tanks and harassing with vultures imo.
