However among these units I can agree that there are som potential stalemate breakers, but most games don't reach that stage. Saying that ghost is good is overpowered not really right, since it takes almost superhuman control and speed to make them work, plus the time and cost to get them. Nuke is decent but not more than that because they have to be attached to CCs. | ||

I mean, you can very occasionally pull off some cute stuff. e.g. drop 2 infesteds next to a cc and infest it or defending against drops with them or dropping in peonlines but unless the game is already over you're always best off avoiding building them. the nuke is definitely better. and ghosts are awesome in the right scenarios. Infested terrans would be sweet if they were reeeeaaally cheap and their buildtime were very very fast... the game would become so interesting. | ||

3 ghosts can potentially lockdown 6 carriers but the fact is, even if you have 3 ghosts and you lockdown 1 carrier and lose them all, you still ended up beating him with 475 minerals and 25 gas. (as long as you manage to kill the carrier anyway) and locking 1 carrier with 3 ghosts does not require supergodly control. so basically, they're worth it with just average micro. but they have the potential to be insanely awesome if you have boxer-like control. of course they're only viable in certain situations, (and pretty much only against capital ships), but they're really really good for those situations. | ||

The only useless unit is hands down the infested terran. No doubt about it. Seriously the infested terran needs some major balancing so that these units can become part of a viable part of a strategy. List of underpowered units (have uses in the game under certain conditions, but are still underpowered as a whole. Needs a buff in balance changes in order to make them more viable): #1 and #2 are tied: Scouts and Ghosts #3 Dark Archons #4 Queen | ||

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? | ||
