Can anyone tell me the reason behind seeker missile design?

So basically we have a spell that:
- Deals little damage

However!, it can be massed (like everything in SC2) and has absolutely no counter micro possible.

Maru did play way better than Dark in these two last games, but I can't find any possible reason for this design to be in the game.

yeah like parasitic bomb vs air units!! wait I'm thinking of a word that starts with s and ends in plitting that is good against both, weird


You're kidding right?
Have you seen Dark (the best Zerg in the world) trying to split vs that many seeker missiles?
It's inhuman to do it effectivly.

What I'm trying to say is: Seeker Missile has 0 counter play at the moment. That's the single reason that mass raven is being abused


Yeah Terran is dominating the game.

Impossible task: Name a zerg unit that counters the ghost


zerglings/banelings counter ghosts pretty well, but comparing one on one units to find counters is kinda pointless.


LOL. Did you not see all the banelings getting kited this series (and when they do detonate ghosts are as tanky as marauders). Also, good luck surrounding unprotected ghosts with 50 lings for 30 seconds while the lings slowlyyy chew through their armor

Dunno about that. I think it would sound pretty nice if they played the overlord sound each time a ghost fired.

The only thing that can stop Maru is Blizzard buffing terran in TvP.

Lul the moment you get to see someone use them effectively.


I loved banshee's speed buff initially, which in itself is a good attempt to make units viable. What's wrong is the synergy between strong mid-game harass and unbeatable late game units that are AAM ravens and ghosts.


It's not unbeatable.


It's unbeatable, when one of the conditions is met:
1) Zerg's bank dropped below 1k
2) Terran gets a bank
Both of which gives ravens and ghosts a buffer to get energy and room for error. And boy you need to make a lot of errors as a terran to lose after that stage.
Neither party will be missed.

I like how Dark being the best zerg in the world is an argument being used when Maru is also the best Terran.

yeah pretty much, I'm super looking forward to this finals, should be a sick one. I think i favor Maru in it but I'm a big fan of both players so whoever wins I'm happy

Yet he still made GSL ro4 during the turtle-mech era. Just like he did in the blink era. Terran can be the strongest or weakest race and he ends up the same.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

2) Terran gets a bank
Both of which gives ravens and hosts a buffer to get energy and room for error. And boy you need to make a lot of errors as a terran to lose after that stage.


It's not. The line of argument that you need terran to make a lot of error to beat it does not work. Being able to make errors is what keep things balanced in the first place. The game is balanced around humans. If terran is not dominating the game then the game is balanced.

You can argue about design problem all you want but the MU is not showing the sign of imbalance at this point with the available evidence.

Dark might have gotten a bit tilty when he saw the sneaky expansion. He already looked like all the blood had drained out of his face going into the game. That said, claiming that Dark played "pretty bad" at any point seems like quite a stretch. At worst, he played imperfectly under pressure.

Rogue helped to kick two fellow Zergs out of GSL finals, what a traitor.
