Mines are just too efficient period. The fact that they cost almost as much as a baneling. Multi-use. active target. You can't ignore the math.
They do friendly fire though. Unlike banelings.


In a lot of high level games, mines are used by the zerg to do FF, it happens a lot.

Really a shame...
Dude it's an assymetric game, zerg are favored when high eco.



Come visit the designated balance thread. You will soon discover that Zerg is apparently a severe underdog at all stages of the game.

Was there a point where JD had an advantage that gave him the chance to win?


when polt couldn't stablish a forward position by the JD's 4th, with his ultras about to hatch he decided to instead counter attack (which will cause 0 terrans to leave the front) and ended up with his 4th dead and like 4 ? scvs killed

The mines are not the issue, when are people finally going to open there eyes and see that it's the bio?

The mine hits, sure whatever and mines are actually useless for mech, but bio has and probably always will be terribly over efficient because of the game being designed around it.

The mine gets nerfed and nothing changes, bio will still be too good.

I think kodas summed up the issue in that game quite well.

Can't believe JD let his macro slip that badly, 1.5/1 k resources without banking for tech? I think he might have been out of larva though.


Also, I think a lot of it is similar to WoL ZvT except that zerg micro has to be more crisp: mutas need to dodge mines when harassing, and instead of just needing good positioning with Brood Lords, with ultras you need good micro to hit your fungals or flank with your zerglings so the ultras can do their damage.

Have a better ECON, you'll never be more cost efficient than Bio mine.


you can't have a better econ than Terran. You'd have to have 80-100 drones just to have equal economy.

What you have to do against biomine is the same every player of every race has ever done in any game vs a biostyle. Deathball it up and try to win in one big engagement. If you play aggressive like Jaedong you are going to skirmish a lot, which plays in the hands of bio.

So much math going on in your post, it's undeniable!

You don't. You got to prevent his stream of units before it hit its peak. Some Zerg just play a Roach/Bane all in every game, others try some weird non-stop Ling/BLing aggression. But I haven't seen a Zerg winnig once the Terran really established enough eco to start his attacks in quite some time.

check out some of soulkey's games. Innovation is a much more aggressive and a better multitasker than Polt but Soulkey stopped him in his tracks.
