The widow mine will always be at least a "I force you to spend 50 of your APM to scout for it which maybe I don't even have while I can do whatever I want with those APM"-unit.

Do widow mines still make an indentation in the ground on creep?

They make an indentation on any terrain

It's kinda like cloaked units, if you aren't paying attention you probably won't see it but if you do you will see the outline of it

Good terrain unburrow before the bait then reburrow when zerg moves in. With one second burrow time it works great.


with banelings and good creep spread I would think that would be rather difficult to pull off with out getting your widow mines killed.

So in the early game the zerg has really good creep spread, expansions, a 100/100 upgrade (just in case) banelings and hundreds of extra minerals on units that arent fighting units just to handle a few widow mines? Those same widow mines that can be unburrowed and retreated if they see the OL's coming? Widow mines arent way out in front, they are near their army.

Weaker? Yes, unquestionably. Weak? Hell no, they are still strong.


you almost sound like your trying to make that out as a lot of money/minerals it really isn't.

They become stronger the better player you are, obviously. That's just a given corollary. It's very difficult trying to beat a tank/WM/thor siege when given only observers or oracles.
Knowing is half the battle... the other half is lasers.

Title is correct. They tend to become weaker in that you have to outplay your opponent to get the full effect, because fundamentally it's a unit that if countered becomes a free donation.
