Who, him or me? Quite sure you don't mean me, but I'm insecure on this board  That's what a day long loosing streak does to a man. | ||

Yeah, they are pretty weak as a unit, but could be a viable harasser unit. I guess they figure "Hey, we made this cool looking unit, we may as well throw it in and make it available to use." Now if only they felt the same way about the lurker... | ||

Its not useless, though. Every weapon we have available for harassment will probably get used as skill levels tend to infinity. | ||

It certainly isn't worth 100 gas per overseer if the only intention is to use them for infested terrans, though. Its not useless, though. Every weapon we have available for harassment will probably get used as skill levels tend to infinity. You're not suppose to get overseers just so you can make infested terrans. Their main purpose is to serve as a detector/scout, as well as a mid/late game harassment unit with their contaminate ability. | ||

Plus, crushing your fat head against a huge towering (as in tower the *building*) robot makes sense. | ||

Like everybody else and ultralisk  You could maybe find a use for it in 2V2 when you are at 200/200. Although I think zerg would much rather safe the gas and instantly rebuild the army. Although it would be a wicked win if it worked. Clash armies, fly mass overseer into his base, drop infested terran and contaminate the crap out of every production facility. Nice theoretical GG right there | ||

that's quite the relative term ^^ maybe the headbutt only exists so it doesnt do splash damage to multiple depots. maybe it's "supposed to" pose an edge for the micro-capable: attack a ling next to the building in question in order to splash more damage than the headbutt would deal.. | ||

And the base was guarded by several siege tanks. Not scary at all... | ||

For example in PvP it's phoenix > void ray > carrier > phoenix, while TvT air is Vikings > BCs and that's it, there's no proper counter system, and there isn't any effective ground counter to them either, because of siege tank support and BCs owning thors/marines by themselves. Vikings also have pretty ridiculous range(in BW the only unit that had more than 8 was the siege tank) and they are cost effective against every other air unit in the game, it's vikings > all, unless the other player has more resources invested in his air units(practically only PvP has decent AtA balance). They said they are willing to add new units if necessary, but their definition of "necessary" is "never", since during the whole beta zerg had less units and was pretty bland and there were tons of complains about air balance. The new units will be pretty much the only selling point for the expansions for players interested in competitive multiplayer, so they are just holding them back. | ||

Now I'll have to actually build something besides pure vikings against zerg.
