If you can line up the shots right, they'll beat roaches, stalkers, you name it, cost for cost. But why would you assume that? Also, if you simply scale that x4 factor, you can use that statement for any unit comparison where the mineral/gas ratio is not equal to decide that each unit is always cost effective against any different one it can hit. | ||

I just checked the stats/upgrades in game and they are still correct from even that long ago, and I'm not going to make an edit just for graphics to attempt to maintain it's humor. Thanks a lot for the comments guys! Even more funny since the stats/upgrades have remained unchanged and it's just the utility in game, especially in TvT that has evolved. If anyone remembers Beta, this was pretty much written in the phase when Reapers were ruling all in TvT... and of course reapers have since been changed. <3 You're a precursor sir <3 | ||

I'm all "holy crap you can't even kill the unit you were designed to counter???". They're great for worker harass and useful for scouting/spending extra minerals but they feel extremely weak anywhere else. I don't mean to be rude, but this is the entitled mentality SC2 has left us with, I feel. With units like Colossi, which kill everything, I'm sure a unit that requires some attention is going to be received with some dismay. However, after knowing how much attention EVERYTHING required in BW, it's amazing to know that we found a unit that requires at least some more attention. Let the battle between marines and hellions rage on :D | ||

If you don't micro, you'll lose. If you micro well (and abuse chokes) you can survive most of the time. | ||

I also love when people post in old threads, and new people come in and don't look at the post times of what they're responding to.  | ||
