EPTand yeah after over 250+ games with ONLY zerg, I can agree with the title of the OP (will read post later) that zerg does feel a bit stale and needs possibly 1 major change or a number of smaller changes to really turn things around for them

Silly me thinking you'd build on what you've learned from previous games especially of the same genre (RTS). I guess that's the Argentinian way? I'm not going to answer to your intent of an insult.

Of course generals concepts of strategy can relate between games, but MECHANICS (key word you must have missed from my post) are different between games and that makes games FUN. You have discover new mechanics and that was the point of my first post. Did people know about the muta mechanics when SC got out? Hardly. The OL trick was discovered little ago. But people still used mutalisks for years before they actually got to work the way they do today. The same thing can happen with SC2, but it needs time and working out mechanics and glitches is a job for the players, not blizzard. That's the gamers way, "internetwarrior". | ||

and a slow beefy unit COMPLETELY kills the Zerg feel. How about making roaches have 1/4 HP, 1/2 cost, 1/2 damage, and spawn 2 at at time? or something. Anything but how it is. lol.... Something Zerg-like not WC3-like plz.  | ||

Although I just said the infestor was a defiler (as it is the Zergs ONLY spellcaster while the other races each have at least 2), it is really just a nerfed dark archon with some shitty summon spell( SPAWN INFESTED TERRANS IS THE STUPIDEST FUCKING SPELL IN THE GAME) instead of feedback and nerfed mind control and nerfed maelstorm (units still attack when affected). Stopped reading here, first of all defiler is nothing like infestor. 2ndly a nerfed maelstrom? Fuck no, this spell is infinitely better than maelstrom. Yes it holds unit in place. That is the only similarity between them. The units can still attack, but who gives a fuck if they are melee they can't do much- if they are ranged they are gonna die in a matter of seconds anyways. (bling rape particularly). On top of this, it does 36 damage over 8 seconds. So basically what this is like is a castable baneling shot with a wide explosion but slower dps. VERY GOOD SPELL. granted the other spells pretty much suck in my experience, but they have their situational uses imo. If I could, I would change fungal spore to do the damage over 4 or 5 seconds, 8 is a bit long (same as the new psi storm which does 80 or 85). | ||

Watch louder vs artosis, the trick is to not let zerg get to muta, or even a 2nd base lmao | ||

Anyways don't feed the troll. And regarding your post, I completely agree, and I just hope we can find the kind of stuff that will make this game more fun. But I'm just skeptic about finding as much as good stuff as we did in SC1. But I may be talking nonsense, it's just a speculation based on 2-weeks-gaming. | ||

I say it again: The war3dev guy that was responsible for Zerg must be fired, the blandness of Zerg compared to the arsenal of new interesting fun Protoss stuff is just laughable. It's almost as HuskytheHusky was in charge of Starcraft, knowing his love for Protoss he would give them all the good stuff! | ||

Actually it would be completely awesome if they nerfed roaches and gave them a speed upgrade. Maybe that sounds totally retarded, but imo it would feel more "zerg" | ||

I love SC2. I love Blizzard. But a whole big horde of those units running around together looks like a big pile of horse shit. | ||

Zerg is boring and a bunch of their units work much too well with A-move. | ||

Simple a-moving is suicide because banes against marauders are useless, HSM and collossi kill masses of units with ease. I do agree that zerg could use some interesting spells though. Spawn Infested Terrans definitely is the most retarded spell ever. | ||
