I agree with you, especially in the matchup where you are playing against P using Z. Maelstorm, Psi Storm, corsairs, DTs...just so many units that can exploit the weakness of zerg. But the thing is, altho shitloads of corsairs = gg for zerg, the point of the whole matchup is to prevent your opponent from getting there.


FAIL.



Yea i looked back at my post and its pretty retarded lol. Well what i'm trying to say is that it all depends on the skill of the player. Different races require different momentum, timing, build order, etc..but when it comes to certain points of the game, especially late game, unit imba can be seen. For example, fucking late game TvZ ultras are fucking imba, fucking fatasses raping all the shitz outta everything they see, or even fucking vessels irritating everything in sight. Of course some units are imba, but the point is to be good enough to stop your opponent from getting to that level where they abuse certain characteristics of different units. Like using scourages to constantly maintain a low population of vessels, or to use drops to mnimize the number of zerg expansions.

That's the point i was trying to make. I'm not saying that the game is imbalanced, cuz imo its one of the best games ever made, but it takes good players to play a completely balanced game, and it takes more skill to exploit your opponent's weaknesses by abusing certain units.
hehe...

This argument could go on for quite some time, I hope you all realize. There are a lot of people in this
thread who feel that the limitations of the player far outweigh the limitations of the map, and while this is certainly true at lower levels, when you reach the upper echelon of competitive, you'll run into many
epic clashes between the Protoss and Zerg where it really is balanced. Regardless of who gets the win, it's always a close fight.

NVM just close the thread.

Heres a zerg pro owning a toss in air w/ 40 + sairs + carriers. Map control favors the zerg but you can see why.Heres
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Err isn't that an indication that perhaps you should be using something other than scourge at that stage?

It's like saying scouts are imbalanced cos you can't take them with 2958230959023859 lings....


When a races main anti-air unit can't take out another races anti-air unit. It's a problem obv.

lol QFT.
When I left long ago, I was one of those Protoss players bitching about the imbalance of PvZ.

All of a sudden with the new maps and FE strats, things seems to have reversed. Weird how things work out.

Some pages back, people were commenting on the mechanics of the race, i.e. which is easier.

I'd have to say protoss is the easiest race to play, to micomanage, to micro/macro.
It's the reason why I chose protoss and why so many of my friends chose toss.

With a comparatively low unit count and higher HP and straightforward unit actions, I didn't know this was even up for dispute. Seems like common sense.

Haha, notice how ITW took two pages before he posted? Me and Gaetele were giving him so much shit "HURRY UP" and he was choking under the pressure

DoctorHelvetica also posted a line, but unfortunately didn't tell any of us so we had to delete it. It was also terrible and just used line breaks to make everything line up.

More stuff:
Someone from Ireland solved what we were doing on page 3 but I had to delete it. (sorry I forget your ID!)
XCetron also solved it but I edited his post to cover it up. I forget what page that was on.

If your doing that it's obvious why you would lose to a D- protoss....you cant take air superiority with 100 scourges, if you are really intent on taking down that group of corsairs clone your scourges and send them in while the sairs are attacking a couple mutas, or even when they are hitting your ovies if you think you can handle it. And if you were saying that 'just as an example' its a pretty stupid example then.

Man, fuck Ultralisks.

And GOGO ANYTIME.

And no, stupid guy above me, YOO STOOPID. July demonstrated how to use just scourge. Zergs recently have been making a lot more scourge if you noticed.

Savior even opened with like spire => 6 scourge recently, etc.

Scourge hydra ling lurker is fuckn IMBAAAAAAaaaaaaaa

Dude, did you read my fucking post properly? I never said just scourge doesn't work, I said getting 100 scourges isn't the way to take air superiority, I never said just scourge isn't viable. If you can show me a JulyZerg game where he gets ONE HUNDRED motherfucking scourges to kill 8 corsairs, I will bow down to you and tell you that you are right. I said clone your scourges, preferably when the sairs are busy attacking something, if you handle it. He's not fucking JulyZerg, so I'm not expecting him to pull some gosu scourge shit out his ass like JulyZerg. I was simply referring to his crappy example.
edit: side note on the lulz, i haded to defend myself
the lulz were had though, although I needed the spoiler O_o

I'm not surprised by ITW being epic fail.

Gaetele quit being such a whiner. post your iccup id so everyone can see which D- protoss destroyed you. Im a D+ terran, and honestly, i can beat D- protoss using zerg as my offrace. you are probably D+ / C- level, son. give it a few weeks, those imba D- protoss will drop your rank so fast.
