how much armor do 3 amor + plating ultralisks have?

8 i think


so basically 3+3 marines do

1 damage per shot (3+3 marines have 9 attack, right?) :/

not sure about marauders, but 2 attacks mean that there is a 16 reduction in attack as well


so basically bio does nothing to ultralisks

yes, marines don't do much, that's been established since the first day of beta

what else is new?


actually i think that in hots and before, ultras has less than 8 armor

even if they had 7 armor instead (which is only -1), suddenly marine dps vs ultras is doubled. that's hardly something you can neglect

e: i'm not whining >_< just trying to grasp some numbers that's all. literally the only unit stats i know are cost and the attack marines have. that's IT


Before a fully upgraded Ultralisk had 6 armor, same as fully upgraded Battlecruiser.
Which meant Marine shots did 3 damage. Marauders had a single attack which was 26 damage vs Armored, so 20 vs an Ultralisk.


holy cow

that is absolutely enormous lol

well you should start to relativise a bit, he just made a semi final right now

that's far from being a bad result (without considering bracket luck etc of course)

Bio is the only thing viable in the matchup but once zerg has ultras 80% of your pop is useless, plus it's easy to survive till ultras as shown in various matches. That's shit design for you, like broodlord infestor was back in the days.
It's sc2 not BW what is that argument xD

I'm looking over marauder stats, I have no idea how they calculate damage

Base:
5 (+1) (x2) = 12

Bonus:
+5 vs Armored

So vs Armored it's:
5+6 (x2) = 22

With +3 it becomes:

So vs Armored it's:
5+3+6 (x2) = 28

Right?

is there a single Terran anymore that does it without getting plagued to death?

It's certainly not as common as mech switching, but I think that's because the build is so intense. But there are still games where SK Terran is very successful. I believe Hiya was the last player to win with the build earlier this year. Hiya doesn't like to play traditional TvZ.

Ok Polt did a good run considering his current level, but it has to stop at some point.

It would have been an embarrassment if he got to the finals.

so marauders used to do 10x the amount of damage to ultralisks before lotv. wow


I think you're forgetting the bonus vs armored, fully upgraded marauders do 8 + 5 twice against amoured units, so basically 10 dmg per attack (instead of 20) (edit : against ultra, I mean)

Actually marauders are still totally relevant against ultra, if you have enough space to kite...

No not really. Ultras can be killed with the right tools. Right now, the transition is incredibly hard for terran. That's a design flaw imo, not balance necessarily.
