That bioball actually took damage from those Zerg units? Zerg needs a nerf, bioball is UP. | ||

Now, I play terran. And I HATE the bioball. It's strong, don't get me wrong. However it is also extremely boring. You build a bunch of units, and you A-move. Actually, scratch that, you press T and then A-move. Two steps, pardon me. That's actually approximately twice as complicated. Once you're engaged, one of two things happens. The first is that you have more units, and you win the battle. The second is that you haven't got enough units, and you lose. Even fighting against units that force micro, like banelings, colossi, or high templar, the same idea holds, if you simply have enough stuff, it doesn't even matter. On one level there is the obvious "well if your macro is better and you have more resources you should win" which is correct. And then there is the "it's the only thing I can build that is competitive, and it just so happens to smash into the skill ceiling the second the units leave the barracks" issue. As long as you've got enough units, it doesn't really matter what anyone does, unless you epic mismicro on move command or something. And due to bio's low tech and resource requirements, and the units' survivability due to their high firepower concentration when stimmed and the healing from medivacs, it doesn't even take that much skill to get the unstoppable death ball of marine+marauder. Or, more accurately, the death ball that is unstoppable except by the stuff that stops it, against which you have nothing you can do to win, such as mass baneling or lots of high templar or colossi (since there is a maximum size death ball). As a terran, it feels like the MM death ball is very strong, but it's also dull, and more importantly it's the ONLY thing that is strong as a stable composition. This would be less of a problem if terran had other alternatives, such as if mech were actually good. | ||

". . . and there won't be a risk in moving out because, lets face it, I'm playing terran right now . . . " "Instead of scouting ahead I normally like to use my scan so i can see everything . . . " "And there's a big fat clump of zerg units. Normally i play protoss, so i would be scared, but it doesn't really matter now since I've got my bioball." "What should I do? It's easy, you return to your base and raise your supply depot." "I think that pretty much covers it." Yay for having my first post in such an epic thread! EDIT: This is even more hilarious due to it being posted in the strategy section. | ||

On a side note, does anyone else freak out whenever they hear their BCs yell "abandon ship" over engagements as small as one marine, or is it just me? | ||

Medivac are a good idea. I usually have 3-6 injured marines myself at the end of the game. | ||

I used to feel the same way until I learned how to marine split and how to micro bio balls really well. Marine splitting is really fun, and pulling off a perfect marine split in a battle is an awesome feeling. | ||
