T_T, I very clearly stated that my post was not intended for balance whine. I just simply have not seen that build held and am wondering which zergs have held this, sorry if this was not clear.

Nah yesterday I didn't mean anything about balance, it was just frustrating to see no zergs advance once again, when they had so many contenders and terrans had so few. But then uzer pulled something unexpected and things got okay.

At some point, balance whines are legitimate. When the cost-effectiveness in terms of resources and attention devoted to dropping 4 fire-and-forget units vs the amount needed to defend it is so one-sided, the game design is flawed.

theres nothing u can do period, roro had perfect scouting and preparation with roaches and queens in mineral lines, the terran will still drop into it and be more than cost efficient, any fair terran will admit that theres a problem with hellbat drops

The only issue I have is that at least in SC1 against Flash's timing pushes the dps isn't as insane as sc2 so you have a chance to micro your way against his army and you are able to use what units are available to stall the push while switching tech. In sc2 the battle happens so quickly we see Roro gg with 180 supply lol.

ktgster wrote like 150 times that he was after solutions, not balance, and the other two posted after you complained. Anyway 4 people is very low in TL standards, your outrage is invalid. Btw you went into my history and that's all the whine you could find? lol. I've complained way harder than that.

not trying to whine. but it doesn't matter what you call it. I want to know if there are other ways to defend against hellbat drops than to having to sacrifice a lot of econ to build static defenses so early in the game. also i want to know if there have been pro games where zerg player successfully stopped hellbat drops.

roro actually did have some static defenses. and iirc, roro did react to these drops better than other zerg pros i have seen hellbat drops against.

edit: noticed someone post an effort game. i will check it out thanks.

Eh reality gave away the advantage a bit by not doing much damage and letting his workers get owned :/ then he didn't target down scvs and let his units attack the hellbats and w/e

I'm not sure how much I am a fan of Terran always having flying units with their armies to see up high ground after the early midgame. Maybe it's not an issue because cliffs change positioning of armies, but otherwise the low/high ground advantage just disappears.

The amount of balance whine when Flash beats Roro in a Bo1 where the game was obviously decided by Roro not scouting what Flash is doing and losing an enormous amount of drones to mis-micro during the second wave of drops.

Edit: @kgster, your question has been answered in the thread.


He did scout it. He did prepare for the drops. And he still could not stop 26 drones dying because hellbat/medivac is so ridiculously OP. I think the only reason more terrans don't do it every game is becuase they feel dirty doing it since it can't fail.

how does one stop 30+ scvs dying when roach-bane-bust occurs? One doesn't. Does it make roach-baneling ridiculously OP? Totally, according to you. It's all about timing and how much do you cut your own economy to be able to pull the strong aggression off.



Terran suffers no economic cost for doing hellbat drops. Its a false comparison you're making.

the only high level korean game a terran lost with this build is in the ro32 of this season where life on daybreak counterattacked with 28 drones left vs 3 cc terran, it only worked becuz the terran fucked up though, if you try to defend and macro up its a lost cause though
