so im wondering if it wouldnt be a good choice to build the core of your ground army around roaches in both matchups and support with muta/infestor against T and corrupter/hydra against P

Stalkers vs Roaches, well, it comes down to who's got the better concave/numbers, the battle isn't as one-sided as the one between 'rauders and roaches or 'rauders and stalkers. | ||

Going roach, ling, muta has always been a balance between minerals and gas. | ||

and imo they have by far the best ratio between min and gas of all zerg units so thats why they are very interesting - i mean if you compare the costs of a roach with a baneling so instead of zergling/baneling/muta i was thinking of roach/zergling/muta thats the intention behind especially against the protoss where banelings are usually not the best idea | ||

If they add a Colossus, get some Corruptors, snipe/Corrupt the Colossus. A Stalker/Zlot army against Hydra/Roach (with some speedlings) will usually lose. KEY TO ZERG: -Swarm the opponent. Don't just press A and click. Surround them. Fungal Growth them. Run away and run back. Pick them off. Protoss units are expensive. Marauders will ruin Roaches. Fungal Growth is the key to beating a Terran BioBall. | ||

I haven't seen a Roach attack -> expand in a long while, but its still plenty powerful. You can really cripple a Protoss early with a wad of the things jumping out of the fog of war in front of your base. | ||

No, the biggest reason marauders ROFLSTOMP roaches is because they do a shit-ton of damage to roaches and roaches don't do anything to marauders. | ||

Yes, because kiting and concussive shell stops roaches from even getting anywhere near close enough to roast the mauraders. (freaking range on marauders is a pain to deal with trying to play as a zerg). The bonus to armored + stim means bye bye roaches. | ||
