Of course the scout...but i think the BC's comes as a proud second, especially in cost-effectiveness

I'd say Drone. I mean, who uses Drones anyway?



I'd have to say Broodling too, though sometimes it's useful to Broodling a Templar. Devourers rank up there too, but I'm sticking with Broodling.

The scout is NEARLY useless at the current state of the game.

Whoever said DAs obviously has no vision of the game whatsoever.Feedback and Mind Control are actually overpowered.The DA is the spellcaster killer + the perfect counter for expensive units -Mind Control.Maelstrom is a bit tricky to use ,but can be efficient in some situations.When fighting air and ultras for example.
MadFrog : In my opinion, the biggest reason why WC3 is dying is because it is not such a great game as Brood War is.

hahaha...i'd be willing to 1:1 you and show you how much vision i have, and maybe even win without using DAs

you play terran right? you're telling me you find yourself fearing DAs as the protoss unit? mael owning your tanks? or is it the dreaded MC an SCV and build a fleet of wraiths?

edit: i did say mael has some uses in pvz, and same with feedback, but its incredibly hard, or at least harder than it should be, to make it cost effective...it can be used very well but its so expensive a unit for such a small window of effectiveness....anyway...i'd love to see u back up that "no vision of the game whatsoever" claim in 1:1...this from the guy who just got owned in europe vs americas and is well known as the WCG pure-luck wonderchild...rofl.

I ll agree with Manifesto7 that there is actually no "worst unit" in this game as its perfect. ill explain this as to some units mentioned as worst units. Broodlings, broodlings can be used to kill instantly High Templars also you could use em to kill some workers of your opponent. Scouts, scouts are really good air units. Dark archons, it has great spells. scourge??? are u kidding me??? everyone uses scourges and they are very effective in air and in killing observers. you all knew that but i wanted to show you that all the units in this game are important, there is not an uneccesary unit thus not a worst unit, they are all good. :list

Infested Terran is the worst unit, followed by the Scout but both can be used effectively. The situations that come up where they can be effective are so limited that this is why they are the worst.

Valkyries are probably the most useless. Their separate rocket fire gets owned by armor ups.

infested terrans could have 80hp

Not that they are useless or worst, but as far as very rarely being used and having few situations where they are useful, Battlecruiser and Scout.

BCs almost never pop up outside TvT and if they were gone, neither side in the TvT can use them. Though it IS the prime way to get out of deadlocks in TvT....

Scouts are just rarely good in general.

i dont know, i always thought some good player might own pvz with ensnare and parasite, but then i thought about how hard da would own queens.
if queens were used more da might be more usefull, if there would be no da, queens might be used more, now none of them are used

that valkyrie holding position while shooting is terrible-_- if u cannot micro it, whats the point in today's broodwar
plus last time i mixed 4 valks with my 30 wraiths vs my opponents ~40 wraiths the valks bugged and never fired a single shot(too many sprites for them eh? screw them i say!)

so id give the valkyrie the worst unit award
Great minds might think alike, but fastest hands rule the day~

Oh come on, who's counting broodlings which are a byproduct of killings tanks and templar etc, why not count mind-controlled critters if you're going to do that :/. Infested terrans are shite but they are also a byproduct of knocking a lot of hitpoints of a command centre so they aren't really the point of infesting anyways. Scout is worst obviously but there's other units that have virtually no useful role like ghosts and arbiters (okay arbiters are nice but the build time and tech required means it's only worth going for them one game in a hundred and likewise once in a lifetime you'll need ghosts to win). Dark archon and queen have their flaws but they are at least useable in a fair number of games if you're playing against the right strategies/units.
