I find M&M micro really quite easy, dunno why people think it's so hard... I have alot of trouble with microing lurkers though, but that's mainly due to burrowed lurkers messing up groupings and attack command. Microing vs scourge or using lings is also hard, mainly due to the small units and high speed.
1000 at least.

Where is Lurk/Ling/Scourge/Defiler?

I voted M&M although its only hard when defilers are in play.

My top three in order from hardest to easiest would be
1.M@M when defilers are casting swarm
2.Lurk/Ling/Scourge/Defiler
3.M@M vs Lurk/Ling

I'd have to say scourge is the hardest. It takes a lot of time and practice to get to the point of being able to quickly scourge-cloning to kill multiple vessels at once. And even after all that work, all terran has to do is right click once behind their m&m ball and your scourge disintegrate, doing 0 damage. Frustrating :/

Well mutas are almost useless without micro. M&M can stand there and fire back decently well Of course, at times, M&M require the most godly micro - such as vs lurkers or, in Boxer's case, vs a base.

I think when it hits late game, MnM gets mad tricky due to the sheer # of control groups and also because defilers. But speed and intensity-wise, Muta and scourge seem to be a little more.

From what I've seen, the hardest is Scourge micro. They're absolutely useless against very good ZvZers. The one that I can really recall was Savior during his peak, microing his Mutas to avoid Scourge.


lol..... When savior was at his best he was at like 50% ZvZ, his zvt and zvp was around 80%


his zvz certainly didnt suck though (ps I think it was closer to 60% zvz, and his zvp at one point was close to 90% iirc), I mean there was a short time when he was the best zvz player at the time

his zvz was never his best matchup, but at his prime it was actually pretty strong

muta micro vs scourge is exactly the same as vult micro vs zergling or zealot. it is definitely not the hardest type of micro. this coming from someone who cant do the actual muta micro vs rines an stuff a bit


"I don't know what I'm talking about hur hur hur"
They're not even close to the same.

i can do that vult micro almost flawlessly, but muta vs scourge is a whole different world, i voted it as the toughest one on that list

MedicMarine micro vs lurkers, especially above ramps.
In a semi-laggy to laggy environment, it is so bloody hard and frustrating I just go mech instead.

mnm micro is terribly overrated, i liked the opinion in the starter-post, proper ling micro is damn hard indeed. Voted lurker ling though, i have trouble with that.

others: the one you fail at ;p
