If you know this is coming, it really shouldn't work at all, but yet it still works stupidly well when you know it's coming, at least ZvT. It fails when you know it's coming, how do marines deal with spine crawlers ? These things just keep us Zergs honest ... to be fair it's not a big cost to be safe, throw down 2 spines early, they will also be good against hellions or other bunker rushes. | ||

Especially Diamond and under players ^^ So I took my friend's account and laddered it from diamond to master in about 20 games (17-3) or something. I started losing a bit more at mid masters something like that (but still >50% W/L). I wonder if I could go back in GM league :D Anyway, to all the people saying that it isn't working anymore : you're just not doing right ! | ||

He GGed because he hadn't been muling during the battle, but if he had I think we would have been even. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-214935.jpg) I'm surprised I didn't see any spines on this one, but I didn't even get a chance to attack any drones before he leaves. ![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-214936.jpg) He had 2 hellions and a bunker with 3 marines when my push hit, he didn't pull SCV's until I had already taken out the bunker. ![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-214934.jpg) This was going to be my first attempt at a 3 rax, but I scouted a forge first expansion just before I was going to pull my scvs. Though I was behind on the scv count, I tried expanding as well, and the game turned into a 23 minute match. ![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-214937.jpg) My one loss with this build so far. His overlord scouts my extra rax, and he responds with lings and 2 spines. Also a case of terrible decision making on my part, because of just running past the spines to his main, I try to attack it head on. I'm sure you can guess how that goes. | ||

In fact, this baneling thing wasn't even a build order, and it wasn't even rushed banes per se (16hatch, 17 pool, 18 gas) he just frantically built it because he spotted scvs get pulled (map&position–specific scenario). If you moved your army to look for his army instead of going for the drones, the 2 banes (which were also lucky hits) could have gotten picked off before either hatching or at least before dealing much damage. I've had a bit of success with this just massing zerglings and then attacking once they are quite deep in the creep, but oftentimes they don't get deep in the creep and can continually keep kiting/stutter-stepping, and once they're off-creep it's extremely inefficient. With enough lings I can take out the attack, but it costs so much zerg economy zerg just gets put behind regardless. One build that wouldn't hurt economy as much vs the build would be quick speedlings, but the problem with that build is that the economy is bad for any build other than marine rush, and the build generally needs to be executed before scouting | ||

(also realize that something doesn't need to cause advantageous winrates to be overpowered). I don't know why marines were given such instant attack animations, it's so stupid. In fact even having the instant-projectile is another thing that really helps the unit a lot. Roaches and stalkers aren't instant, why should marines be?

This is not thread related at all. Nobody is interested in your opinions about balance, especially not when you're a noname zerg just in here to shed some tears. God damnit, don't turn the strategy forum into live report quality - it's already low enough as it is. | ||

So as Z I haven't even figured out how to hold it, but I'm starting to do early speed at maps like metalopolis and xel'naga because they run past my spines anyway. Kind of funny I guess, I bet this thread alone created a significant effect in w/r ratios on bnet. | ||

They have to blind counter the marine build. What choice do they have?
