and yeah I often do parasite one vessel. occasionally they kill it or just let it be parasited, there appears to be many terrans who don't know that restoration cures it. some good terrans too actually. | ||

I tried this strategy about 30 times so i actually got a feel for it but i wasnt fast enough or good enough to play it well Haha you exist! I still play west using x[ReaPeR]x, msg me man. Just to stay on topic, I though about TvZ Hydra/Queen. If you went Hydra Queen and Like Even two lurkers I think that would be really effective. Unless the Lurkers get owned by Tank focus fire (seems likely) the two Lurkers alone would make the lives of M&M a lot worse because microing ensnared M&M's is basically impossible. In all honestly though I think the age of Queens has come, they are so good. | ||

If you plan to snare a MM army then attack with lurkers it becomes very difficult and impractical because when the terran sees Snare on his shit he'll reposition his force to get ready for attack, or just retreat. And since its key for a zerg to flank and attack a terran when hes moving I dont see how snare would be effective in that situation. | ||

But I think it really sucks that terran doesnt really have underused units that can be effective. I mean in TvZ you need all the resources you can muster, which is usually little and valks do not justify the expenses, ghosts are easily detected and can only nuke but ... a nuke costs more than an expansion, considering its just a hatch. Vs protoss ghosts are uber hard to use and hardly viable cause they neeed so much gas to make and tanks and upgrades are very essential. PLus the only things you can relaly do with them is lockdown shuttles and try to nuke, but while you waste attention trying to find a good place to nuke and then pulling it off, toss would power up enough to make up for any losses (s)he may suffer. Also valks are shit tvp Valks are shit tvt BCs are shit tvp BCs are shit TvZ Scis are shit TvP (emp shockwave is so freaking small I once missed 4 arbiters coming to recall in my base even though I had the sci and i clicked with decent precision.) etc... terran is hard to be creative with nowadays imo | ||

it screams "DO THAT AGAIN PLEASE I AM STUPID" you do see alot of "hey, he used gas and disadvantaged his tech to get a queen, then used up energy to parasite me. i'll attack right now." | ||
