I just think that if you max out on upgraded Stalkers it's a bit too strong, you get too many of them. I dont agree at all, stalkers are already much worse then other similair units in most senses, sure really good micro can change that, but there are very few players who can blink micro like mc. Marauders should be 3 supply as well then.... lol protoss armies are already comapritively much smaller than other armies, and yoou want them to be smaller. Also stalkers receive the least benifit from upgrades than other similair tier units, they only get +1 for each upgrade as opposed to 2 for roaches and marauders. Idra cant just only make roaches and expect to win, there was nothing OP about that final engagement, he lost WAYYY to much at mc's natural (around 40 supply) had more supply in drones and his positioning during that engagement was fairly sub par mc had way more units attacking at once compared to idra whos roaches were scurrying around in the back. If idra went infestor hydra ling he wouldnt have had too much trouble with that army at all. Also no static defenses at all, a few spine crawlers would have gone along way especially when he knows mc has no intention of grabbing a third and is pushing out off of 2 base. Also that bad rally at the end set him way behind. Unless you can get a huge huge spread with roaches its really not good at all to have that many the front 2 lines can attack and the rest just scurry around because of their range, at a certain point you need to transition to hydras or something else, or lock everything down with infestors so that you can get your roaches up really tight to the front line of stalkkers so more of your roaches can hit. Im going to say the same thing as I said to the first guy who brought it up. THIS IS A LR-THREAD, even though you may have a calm discussion about balance, it is about balance nonetheless. Discuss it elsewhere! a calm discussion about balance? maybe in the BW thread but i have never seen a calm balance discussion in ANY SC2 thread. | ||

Roaches just get owned too hard by stalkers, it would be like massing hydras against colossi, or massing zealots against roaches or some stupid situations like that. Lol this is new. Roaches get owned too hard by stalkers? You mean the unit that costs half that of a stalker but can beat it one on one in equal upgrades, from the race that is able to have a better early and mid-game econ? Blink is the only reason they are good, but let me direct you to the infestor which locks them down and deals damage. Look at game 2 of IdrA and MC at MLG, they were on equal bases, MC constantly denied the gold base, but IdrA steamrolled his blink stalkers when they had infestor support (and no the immortal neural parasite did not do enough damage to make it like 30 roaches surviving). Ever consider the possibility that IdrA just played horribly and MC played like MC? Hm. I don't see what you're getting at. Are you denying that mass roach loses to mass blink stalker? No shit infestors are good. Idra didn't have any, and he needed to. If not that, then quicker hydras or something. Seems like you think I'm QQing or something. Mass roach beats mass stalker. Infestor takes away the blink ability, roaches win easily. You compared it to hydralisks versus colossi...which is completely wrong. I was simply using it as a comparison. And I'm not talking about infestors with the roaches man. I know roach infestor is a great unit comp, and it beats mass blink stalker. That's not what Idra had, that's not what I'm talking about. How is it that hard to understand... | ||

Ever consider the possibility that IdrA just played horribly and MC played like MC? So true, on equal upgrades (after i think attack 1 or 2) roaches beat stalkers 1 on 1, everyone complaining about stalkers should realise this. The only reason they do well is blink. what shuts down blink? oh infestors.... 3 fungals and he would have won / survived that engagement even if he lost 40 supply right before it happened. The problem is that the stalkers keep moving slightly back so the roaches never get close enouggh to have enough of them attacking when they are in large numbers like that. With fungals you can push up your front line right in front of the stalkers and have most of your roaches attacking. That being said unless you have a really excellent spread (wich idra didnt) its never that great of an idea to have that many roaches, so many of them end out useless and out of range at the back until the front line dies. Its much better to have your back lines supported with hydras (idra had a few but he transitioned way too late) that way all your units can be attacking in an engagement. I think pure hydra with ling corrupter would have done better anyways, idra had already invested alot into roaches though, tunneling claws is much better for when a player is going for a 6 gate or you have a way to snipe their obs (neither of wich were happening) mc got off so many free shots as idra was trying to go through the forcefields he would have been alot better off if he had fallen back with burrow instead of trying to push forward until he had baited out all the forcefields. | ||

He screwed it up bigtime for sure with his transition into the game but still.. not microing his units good enough and leaving when he actually got a semi-good chance to get back into the game..that just makes the fans upset. I dunno if he is scared about humiliation but when he leaves as he does in his games he makes people think he is a quitter. And thats worse..Anyways he is a very talented player..but he seriously made alot of fans wait for practically nothing at all. NesTea would never leave in such a state of the game at least. I always said SEn is the best non KR Zerg there is and it wouldnt suprise me if I see him winning the whole shit now..I hope he beats July next. What are you talking about? It was pretty obvious idra was going to lose game 2. There was a huge amount of blink stalkers and immortals against idras roaches and few hydras without range. He played a good game, but MC had a great build with a great transition and great control. Also I think you forget MC 2-0'ed sen as well. | ||

I mean, White-Ra is an amazing player, I thought he would be capable of beating moon, who's not that impressive. That said, I think that while moon isn't that good at SC2, he's got sort of a "champion's heart", he always seems to pull off some ridiculous unheard of skill when playing in LANs, that's why I never count him out. His WC3 stage experience has made him a tremendous competitor. Lol you call White ra amazing and call Moon not that impressive when he just 2-0d white ra? I mean that's pretty biased. ... You have to be good at sc2 to perform in a stage like this... I mean his gotten so far in most of the foreign tournaments his been in. | ||
