I know.
MadFrog : In my opinion, the biggest reason why WC3 is dying is because it is not such a great game as Brood War is.

I seem to remember from playing some microchallenge vs the computer that if you do not spread your scouts out, they get oh my god sooo raped in a 12 vs 12 fight.

they win if you spread them well tho

2 Famouzze, try not talking shit to one who beat Androide and is 3rd place WCG winner.
you should be happy beast offered you pvp bo5. i think it's still useless coz it will be 5:0. yes, beast is not korean super-progamer, but he's in top 10 non-koreans, ok? even if testie beat him once, this doesn't mean he can do it again and vice-verce. think about it. just think, don't talk. dont even open you mouth. it's the shittest thing to sit at home and write to public that you can win WCG 3rd place winner. who are you after this? think about this too. and your arguments are very-very weak, if it's hard to use DA correctly - this does NOT mean they are the worst units, this means only the player is weak, just give DA to rA and see what happens. and imagine boxer with 10 DA waiting for 12 carriers with MC ready. huh???


at all the idea of finding the worst unit in BW is stupid if you are not specialist. be sure blizzard has many specialists who work on these issues.

scouts are very good when you have a lot of them with supporting >=10 ShB's. this is because of their speed. of course you should only switch (step-by-step) to scouts when the game is late. the ideal scenario when palyers divided the map and full of supply and no major battle for a long time (just like zelotito's recent game on bnet tournament vs zerg).
The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.

DA's are dumb because they're huge and have poor patching ai. MC and Feedback are both spells that require targetting specific units. It's very hard to do that with a big, dumb, slow unit like a DA. Plus, do you know how much space 10 DA's takes up? It's ridiculous, 10 DA's can barely fit inside LT's natural with the nexus and probes and stuff there. Trying to do anything at all with 10 DA's is just hard because they're huge and dumb and unwieldly. Great in concept, but, just like the ultralisk used to be, too big and dumb and slow to actually be good. Ultras got a mega boost with their speed and armour upgrades, and now they're really good. DA's need a similar boost to take into account the fact that they're big and dumb and slow.
True learning is not the memorization of knowledge; it is the internalization of patterns.

Geez, what are some people thinking? If a unit is only good versus the same race, then it's not really that great a unit now is it? Well there's arguments against that I guess, like humans invent weapons to kill other humans, but still, I for one feel this game was meant to allow people fight other players with different races first hand.

Saying that a skilled player would rock with 10 DA:s is silly since he would have died a long time ago unless he was already in the lead and just tried to be cute. The only time I've seen it work was on a very unique map, paradoxx which have lots of resources at the start location. On other maps it wouldn't be a very wise choice.
I wouldn´t call him stupid, but let´s just say he´s unlucky when thinking...

A lot of the "useless" units tend to be more useful or more "tide turning" in team games.

no getting 10 da's doesnt mean you're dead if your opponent was massing carriers in the meantime.

considering 12 carriers costs like
twice as much minerals and more gas as well
you know

u kill scouts with corsair as easy as mutas(since mutas suffer only 1/2 sair dmg)

Except scouts have 3x the hp/shield and and do 3x the damage?

So Sad your math is so Bad - scout shield+Hp=100+150=250, mutalisk Hp=120 multiplied 2(since take 1/2 dmg) = 240.

Ghosts and Scouts counter what? YES THAT'S RIGHT, CAPITAL SHIPS! They were made to counter capital ships not to fight dragoons head-on, ok? It's called a SPECIALIZED UNIT.

Dark archons and queens = ALSO SPECIALIZED UNITS, K?

They are perfectly viable in the situations they were created for. Hence, there is absolutely NO need for any buffing of said units- -;

Well,if they were any stronger than they are now, nobody would make carriers,bcs,ultras or any spellcasters versus protoss.I like them as they are right now.I think they will be used much more in the future in PvZ and PvP.There aren't many uses against terran - feedback or mind control a science vessel on an air map,mind control a dropship(omg, i gotta try this vs some freaking terran building 4-5 ships and flying around) and mind control an scv if youre maxed(this is a sound strategy IMO.The terran can't really prevent you from doing it in most cases)

Well i don't think DA would be used more in the future unless mealstrom 75.
Scout ground attack is hilarious, and dies pretty fast to any ranged unit/building.
Queen is a good unit though - cost 100/100 only is fast flying and has powerful spells broodlings/ensnare(also research is cheap) - they aren't used unly because Zerg players aren't used for waiting, since defilers don't wait for mana - instead they consume lings for it.
Ghosts - hard to micro, useless vs Zerg, probably because Protoss would have upgrades and in TvP Terran does not upgrade infantry + gas needed on metal = not used.

Hehe, scouts certainly can be used now and then, but only because ppl don't bother defending from them.Still ,this means they aren't completely useless.
