Like the game has been out for a while and top players have put a huge number of hours into the game they have figured out the standard "best" way to play. Yes there are variations you can do but the Standard will be the most played out because it is the best strategy at the time until a refutation comes along. Even in the most varied matchup I doubt there are more than 3-4 distinct strategies to aim for and all others are just subtle variations of these distinct strategies. While true to some extent it is baffling how strong the roach meta has becomes and how it won't go away. You are half right and half wrong, these kinds of "meta" finding out the ultimate way of doing something and doing it over and over, It will lead to everyone doing that, if everyone does it than you can pretty much figure out what your opponent is going to do and blind counter it. This is how the meta change, people learn how to counter the most popular strategy and then people will stop doing it because it doesn't work anymore. This is what happened when Z started doing 3 hatch before pool vs P greedy openings back in the day, thus out greeding them blindly. For a meta to stay as long and tenaciously like this one is rare and in my opinion shows something is wrong with the game. If you can't counter his strat (without going for the same strat) when knowing exactly what he's going to do then its something seriously wrong. I agree the roach meta has been rather tenacious, but I honestly don't think its as prevalent as the OP makes it out to be. | ||

Very unpredictable if you play ling+bling against wm. wm is ok against all other zerg units. micro against wm doesnt help anything if wm are sitting on intelligent places. (1) What happens if cooldown is gone and there are already 2 (split) lings within that area? which ling is going to die? (2) What happens if wm detect first ling but killed by other units before wm begins to attack (due to 1,5sec delay), 1,5 sec later there are 10000 lings+blings in that area, where will be the rocket hitting? (3) If terran is microing his wm, zerg will never know/notice that. Zerg only know if it had already hitted but this is too way late. Don't response with "1,5sec delay tells it", How do you know it was as (2) or (3) from Zerg perspective? You have to see it from Zerg and Terran perspective, not as a casual bystander. (1) and (2) are fucking frustrating for both players because of the random shots. You see thats what excite viewers. viewerss like to see those WM that kills 50 units with one shot (imba or not imba), it creates a lot of suspense and excitement. But when you watch ZvZ its usually ling/bane and it ends in roach wars with one player winning with better decision making. you don't really need to watch the rest of the game to know how its going to end. Again this is from a spectators point of view. | ||

Muta meta was so fun back in the days, although a bit too strong. :< | ||

edit: it's much better than ZvZ early HotS when the player with 1 more muta would automatically win. | ||

(A) Creep has a color tint to indicate which player made it, and (B) Only the player who made creep gets a speed bonus while moving over it With those simple changes, you would have a greater defender's advantage, more strategic creep, and a better looking game. As it is now, all the ugly little roaches kind of blend in together on the ugly creep, and it's difficult for spectators to enjoy watching or even know where one blob of roaches ends and another begins. Grey creep, grey roaches, green acid . . . meh. | ||
