Ugh, sometimes I feel like there needs to be a limit to the amount of spines/spores you can build or something =/
Its the main reason for these ultra long turtle camp fights imo..

I wouldn't hate this meta so much, if it didn't promote the use of corruptors, the most boring unit in teh game -_-

Why is Carriers never made in this matchup this late in the game? I mean, Tempests doesn't really do anything against that massive corrupter force. They only function as a snipe against spores, vurnable infestors. And it's not like he didn't have the time to build Carriers nor ressources..

Especially now carriers have the better leash range. I think we're gonna have to wait for Stork to play PvZ.

There's a reason Blizz has tried to get rid of them twice.

The templars were the only thing balancing the armies. Effort could have won the game right there after killing them.
