I mean, I like Polt far more than Violet, but there was nothing even balance-ish in that last game, which is frustrating in itself because Polt did mess up. But people seem to think that any win with Infestors and BLs demonstrates imbalance haha. On the actual topic: GO LEENOCK YOU LITTLE MONSTER EWOK GREMLIN OCTOPUS PRINCE OF WAR!!! | ||

Its better to instantly lose 50+ infantry to fungals and have pretty much useless, unsieged tanks attacking broodlings. More like skipping 24-32 Marines to have a semi-decent yet still unreliable 6-8 Ghosts count. | ||

The Zerg took no harrass damage to his economy, Violet played pretty greedy to get his economy up and running. He also spread creep very aggressively giving him map vision over the central area. The thing is, its so easy for a zerg to make a large amount of roaches like that, not do too much damage, and then pretty much get up to 70 drones while building almost no army and teching. The way injects work you can build either army or economy very fast, and if you do it right there isn't that much of a window to punish the zerg. Zerg's ability to switch between army or econ makes those kinds of roach attacks very strong (too strong imo) because if the other player doesn't hard counter (which you need scouting to do) the zerg usually ends up at least even. If Polt didnt see all those roaches and cancel blue flame for siege mode Violet could have got a heap of SCV kills, and while Polt needs this massive commitment to hold, Violet has a third base and is droning. | ||

It is like 2 tanks a few marines. Even then, if Terran screws up, then Z wins easy, since he is missing those extra units he would have had. If he does land it, then Z isn't ruined, they just have to retreat and reengage later. Z, if they scout the GA, can spread infestors out. What they should do is make the Raven slightly less powerful, but somewhat cheaper. The Ghost as well. Just a tiny tweak. IE, make ravens cost less gas min, but make sentry gun more costly on energy, and make seeker missile do less damage, a lot less, but make it cheaper to cast. Also make research cheaper. In short they should make these higher tier units more accessible, but slightly less effective. That way it makes the transition a lot easier. I think it makes sense as a full tech tree maxed Terran army is stronger than Z. I mean viks, bcs, ravens, dropships with tanks, rhine, ghosts, nukes, and BF hellions. | ||
