I think queens are easy to use...
Think of it this way...
Ensnare is like, well, STORM, and queen flies so it's pretty easy.
Parasite/Broodling is like irradiation, and I don't see terran complaining OMG so hard to controll vessels all the time.

So yeah they are not THAT hard to use ~_~

Well if there's many turrets and/or bunker you need to kill them first or u may have a lot of mutas dying for just 1 cc. And you also have to defend your expansion after that.
So it's only good for really long ground way maps.
I mean you almost need to keep the turret busy while your queen is going to infest right ? So that mean there'd a lot of mutas dying.
You won't see a good terran player leaving his expansion without making at least 3 turrets.

Queens disappear in the middle of infesting. All they need is a small distraction like a few Overlords.

I wonder why broodlings have mana.

It would be nice if infested terrans were free and build faster.

Its more like a timer, its 255/255 if im thinking right anyway which is not a "mana" amount found in any units.

It is actually 180. I dont know if it is affected by queen mana upgrade though

And I didnt know they expire after the mana is gone I learn something new everyday.

Its nothing personal evan, its just like the cute little 6 year old cousin wandering into the kitchen while the parents are making a big family dinner on Christmas. We smile, pat you on the head, and hand you a icecube as we lead you back out into the living room. Where the grandfather waits to put a vice grip on the scruff of your neck because that sort of bonding was popular back in the day, but now only serves to extinguish any hope of you NOT associating pain with family as that old geeser pinches the last ounce of joy you had in the night so that you may grow up to be an abusive drunk who.. I digress.

Was'nt it Chojja who used to go for a hydra and some lurk(killing scvs who want to repair the cc) drop with a Queen to infest the CC?
Long time ago I saw a replay of this were he dropped main and expo at same time with this, was fucking awesome.

ive done that plenty o times

it's good
I also used to ensnare scvs before lurker dropping
sorta stopped cause I changed styles and never really lurker dropped much anymore (besides it was so much worse on the new maps than it was on temple), but it's really fucking good.

a couple times I would even lurker drop with swarm and then when he lifted his cc I would scourge+infest it

not to mention the 20 muta+1 queen rush
which rapes against non-fast expanding terrans. unfortunately all terrans fast exp now so it's not good. it's actually not a shitty build even against a fast expanding terran though. you can take a third gas pretty easily cause when you have 20 mutas he either has to bring mostly all his rines to take care of the exp or have them killed in transit, or he has to open himself up for infesting. and 3 turrets don't affect you at all if you have 20 mutas. not even 3 turrets+ 1 bunker does.

You make me laugh! The next thing you'll claim is having qualified for WCG using maelstrom in PvP.

Ok so what would be your ZvT queen build, like 2 hatch mutas/lurks right into queens nest before 2nd expo?

Infest cc is more of a late game containment strategy, run in, get cc down then steal it. its effective vs those of us who forget to protect expo's with fortified def.
When all else fails, Blame the guy who cant speak english.
