It's not that simple when you have 3 bases. Overlords are not the only thing coming from hathes.


Just select the larva when you make your ol's and rally to a spore o-o

unless they changed the way you can select eggs in hots


When you make several ovies, at 3 hatches, it's quite possible that all of them will be spawning on different hatches, so won't help.


come on. select one hatch and build overlords at it and rally them to a spore. it really isnt that hard.

You can select a single hatchery to make them from.


Of course you can. It just takes more time and apm to do that while doing everything else you need to do as zerg.

it is an ability in hots.

Nop i don't. On the other hand, blade does and he agrees with me

He made the roaches to defend the pressure, then hydras to defend the air. Then he had this stupid useless army that he needed to do something with.

So what do you suggest when toss opens with phoenixes lol? It's not like zerg have much to choose.


Hydra - hydra/swarmhost/corruptor so much stronger.


Well swarmhost won't really help against that much voids i would think, no to mention few colossus nullifies locust.


You'll be surprised. I have beaten maxed (yes maxed) colossi/templar/voidray compositions and swarmhosts played a huge role in it.


Maybe you are right, i won't argue ;p

Haavent watched much HOTS PvZ, but god this is uglier than WOL PvZ.

This game is bad showcase, since Ret lost 5k resources to just Phoenixes, he didn't know how to handle them, and that snowballed into greater army for YongHwa. The game is much much more interesting than WoL ZvP, it isn't just stupid 2-3 base all-in from Zerg and Protoss camping into the invincible Skytoss composition.


Fixed

Even though many people says that, I disagree, I don't see that every game. Actually, I see that sometimes here and there, mostly, I see normal games with aggression from both sides.

To people asking about Roach/Hydra, I think that Roach/Hydra works only with Vipers, so you can do some timings where you would snipe Colossi. If he already got Void Rays, I don't see the point in Corruptors, really. That being said, I think that you have to transition from Roach/Hydras/Vipers into Ultras/Hydras/Vipers/Infestors, or Brood Lords/Hydras/Vipers/Infestors, and that pros are staying on Roach/Hydras for very very long time.

no i was talking about get the P to hit charge button and run away and wait until the charge is gone and is on cd.
but as far as most people told me u are not able to run away and "fight" against charge and welcome death, because coruptors dont stand a chance against voidrais with charge and rest is crushed by colossi

I hope people realize YongHwa has been opening phoenix exclusively in PvZ for like 1-2 years so he makes the harass look pretty easy

Forcefield, time warp make it hard. Also toss will still do damage as you run away and when voidrays attack they get a range increase when running away by like an extra range or whatever.

There is a reason zergs aren't.


You need to have viper or infestors in order to make it work, imo. In general I think Zerg need more versatile armies, 3 types of units doesnt cut it.

Yes, and it's worth it. If you don't and just rally like that instead, it's even a bigger waste of time and apm since it's all for nothing.

Just can't understand why there isn't any drawback to prismatic alignment and the emergency thrusters for the medivacs. There shouldn't be a button you just press to make your units better.

Corruptors have corruption

*edit* realize now that it's an ability, that was dumb.

But I don't think "activated abilities" are that bad for the game, as long as there is a timing on them.

Even worse thing is that those aren't the upgrades... If they were upgrades, it would be reasonable to not have any drawback.

Corruptors have corruption :D

That starts on cooldown, and is support and very situational ability.
