You pick the harrass and if i play too safe i have no way to punish you with my defensive slow units that die to one tank on the ridge. I dont play safe enough and four hellions kills 10 or more drones. If terran expects mutas and gets a thor. And the flthree to four turrets it takes to cover two bases (lol). The thor can be dropped or used to great effect against ground. If zerg goes muta and terran has five rines and a thor your out 1000-1400 resources for nothing because they die like paper to terran anti air. I think I'm going to quote myself, much earlier in this thread in regards to this.

Regardless, Terran is more diverse. . .because it has more units. That's literally it. Zerg will diversify with the expansion, I guarantee it. [/QUOTE] Queens are practically immobile off creep, and by the time you are able to cover most maps w/ creep your opponent should have observers or a raven out to snipe all of your forward creep tumors. | ||

Blizzard can easily balance the game with a patch or two. Why should anyone have to wait for an entirely new game to achieve balance? I'm not saying that. I think the game is balanced, and I think that if you want more diversity, you can wait for the expansion. | ||

I feel that the opposing logic is so ridiculous, it may actually just be trolling. I can't fathom a rational person having that opinion. | ||

Blizzard specifically stated the queen is not intended for offense. Besides if we're talking late game, queen's damage is crap compared to the units it's going to be fighting against. Have you actually played zerg at a competent level or are you just brainstorming ideas without any experience for basis? I can't tell if you're being serious or just trolling for your own amusement. | ||

How about you learn a little bit about the race before you enter a discussion like this. Why aren't they? Sure the mobility thing, but their anti air damage isn't bad, nor is their anti ground. I'm not saying they're your entire army, I'm saying they can be part of your composition. And I'm not even talking about transfusion. | ||

I'm being serious, I assure you. People shouldn't dismiss something so quickly, they should at least give it a try. Blizzard nerfed Queen speed off creep, because there was an abusable strategy involving them, or so I thought. That doesn't mean that they're not offensive. I am brainstorming though. Just throwing ideas out there. People complaining they don't have enough units and then dismissing a unit without any real thought is less than ideal. | ||

He's already admitted to not knowing anything about zerg mechanics or playstyle and is either trolling on purpose or is basing his theories on thin air. This is ridiculous. Someone save this thread. I love how you make up things that I say. It's really quite humorous. | ||

Thats an explanation for why you agree with me tha zerg vs terran is an unfair matchuo? You are just shifting the debate and everyone is falling into it. I dont really care about your speculations about zergs degree of completion or your speculations on their future development. I am more interested in discussing the idea of zerg vs terran and the difficulties i have been facing more and more as the entire terran player base is discovering more ways to exploit zergs | ||
