I feel like Mutalisk aggression in BW was much more persistent simply because no viable splash mechanisms could ambush the stack during its 1-3 swoops required to kill a defensive structure. | ||

Over agressive zerg will find their flappy mutas dead dead dead against a conservative terran player. | ||

if you don't fly over the turret then it's 100% useless and there's no point in wasting time. | ||

Each muta is 100 gas, which is invaluable to a Zerg. It's really easy to lose a fuckton of gas really fast with mutas. They're pretty fragile so it's understandable to be really protective of them. I agree with you, and I've been saying this for a while. Zerg players have an irrational fear of anything that shoots air. I've played against high-level zerg players who will run 9 mutas from one lone, misplaced thor. As you said, they do the same with turrets. Also with the crazy thor range, you'll lose a muta or two during a retreat so you have to be sure that you can take the thor down. The thor can be hitting you long before you can see what's around it. So yeah usually if thor hits your muta you just run. | ||

There are always holes/weaknesses in the anti-air coverage of a base, so why intentionally take damage when you can keep poking around to find another hole that is less defended and will allow damage to be dealt. As day9 would say, go for guaranteed small damage with a low risk of defense, instead of the big damage with a high risk of defense. Taking out a few tech labs, reactors, or supply depots is an equally successful attack as killing a handful of workers, and if you didn't have one of your mutas damaged in the process, that's even sexier. Some players get very caught up in the idea that every harass should be on the harvesters -- don't forget the rest of the base is just as good of a target. | ||
