+ Show Spoiler +Roaches do not deal bonus damage to Armor or Light; they deal the same damage to all target, so the fact that Ghosts are just Biological/Psionic doesn't actually reduce Roach damage.
Also, although Ghosts have more range the Roaches, the Roaches move the same speed, without any upgrades or on creep. Add Roach Speed or Creep and kiting is unrealistic.
