But with a well timed attack you can basically overrun a protoss who's not prepared properly. For 75 minerals and 25 gas, coupled with the damage they do and their health roaches are absurdly cost efficient. They just cost a lot of supply. Like Leenock could lose that whole army and easily remax since roaches are so cheap. | ||

The more you get the less cost efficient they get, that's what i was going for. Yes stalkers lose to 2 roaches when left alone but with micro and forcefields the battle isn't even close. | ||

The more you have is just better, that's the reason the Stephano 200/200 max out is so powerful! But I get your point  | ||

You need to see how they work in game. Roaches get worse and worse the more you got compared to most units unless you can swarm your opponent. | ||
