Consider once again, cost, speed, upgrades, attack power, armor, sheild, hp, ect. I think its the scout... and i dont think i even need to justify my answer

going by the cost, speed, upgrades, attack power, armor, shield, hp, etc. you're asking for, i dont think theres a worser(?) unit than the scourge. Obviously its not the worst unit in bw as it can change games very quickly, but its extremely weak, only attacks certain units, and cant have upgraded attack.
In short, its impossible to determine the worst unit in bw as they all have their purposes

infested marine? pretty much useless when you get to that point in the game... although some more untraditional players have used them with some success, like tsunami

definitely the scout....followed by the Dark Archon.

has some uses but is incredibly expensive, both in min-gas and for its spells' mana cost, for something that really fucking blows and has an incredibly small window of usefulness. if maelstrom lasted a lot longer or MC was a lot less expensive in mana cost it would be remotely useful, as it is it BARELY has any use at all, mael can be effective vrs zerg and same with feedback on defilers. MC vs terran is fun but incredibly not cost effective. on the other hand scout has literally 0 cases in which it is useful / cost efficient.

im just curious, why do you hate it when ppl discuss the actual gameplay of BW so much? u are the guy who closed the imbalance thread, yes? what is so wrong with discussing the actual playing of the game? even though it has been diuscussed before, i think that is to be expected in a forum about the game..

scout

I'll kill anyone who says queen

I also really love maelstrom and I don't think it should be improved.

I have no problem with discussing the gameplay at all. The imbalence thread was closed because it is a discussion that has occured a hundred times on this board, and after the first 63 comments there wasn't anything new being said.

I just dont like the "worst unit" idea. I think under certain situations, every units is useful and one of the biggest problems with BW is how play has become so standardized. With a little imagination, there really isn't a bad unit. All of them can be used effectively, these days even more so because people are so not used to seeing them.

ok I'll get off my soap box, but maybe its just because I have a soft spot for the scout? I just dont see the value in it. You notice though, that I didn't close this

PS. Watch that game i posted, it was fun.

It's gotta be broodling. I'd love to see a replay where someone used broodling to change a game.
