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.

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

The reverse would also be true if not for that weird base race game vs Macsed.

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.


Blame mules and scans. Mules means more bio, scans can't be killed (unlike overseers) nullifying bane landmines.

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.


This is the problem, with hatch snipes etc, larvae becomes the prevailing problem, and indeed the prevailing resource throughout the game. When no larvae, or limited larvae is available, minerals and gas WILL stockpile and there is nothing you can do about it vs a good T or P who snipes your hatches.

Also, biomine is very very efficient, and in the hands of someone like Polt or Innovation, borderline unstoppable. I love Polt, but this is a bit hard to watch him tearing JD into shreds. Not easy to assess for Blizz for the future that's for sure.

Zerg needs an efficient unit that doesn't need to be massed to be effective in Lotv. Lurker was such a unit in BW.

No, don't blame mules and scans, blame the real issue. Bio. Bio being as good as it is kills all hope of ever having diverse Terran matchups.

Okay, I think Ling/Bling/Muta will be more to Jaedong's benefit here... he can do this. He can do this.

Scan early in the game is a gamble because you can only use one and it may be terrible if it happens that you scout anything.

Technically banelings fit that bill.
