Well, the textbook says: scout the tech, and if it is ling/baneling/roach build tanks. But well, good hold nevertheless.

Pfft, its all starcraft just because you weren't around didn't mean it didn't happen ![]() | ||

Medivacs are not T3... Marine/Mine/Medivac is just better than Muta/Ling/Bane, and with Polt's ridiculously good macro and battle mechanics, it's virtually impossible to tech up through his aggression. Terran tiers are different than Zerg tiers. Medivacs are technically tier 2.5 because they come from Starports (which are technically tier 3) yet can be reactored which puts them on a different tier than Ravens and BCs which require Tech Labs. Thors are traditionally considered Tier 3, yet come from Factories (tier 2 structure) and are on the same tech requirement as Helbats which are considered by most to be tier 1.5 units. Terran tech trees are strange and not linear AT ALL. Zerg is the only race with a straight linear tech tree. The whole concept of "tiers" is stupid and irrelevant to StarCraft in that case. Medivacs require far less tech advancement than Mutas to make, and they're much more cost-efficient for their use. It's just how the races operate, but by default, Terran will almost always have Medivacs before Zerg has Mutas in a standard Ling-based ZvT. To argue that Terran had T3 while Zerg had only T1/2 is entirely irrelevant. I agree with that conclusion. I was just posting to deflate some of this "Terran only uses tier 1 units" balance whine by explaining just how inaccurate that is. Oh god, I hate that argument. It's just standard Zerg balance whine, and it gets in the way of actual balance discussion. | ||
