Now you are spending 1,5k mins/1k gas/20psi to not counter the tanks, but to just make them take 20% extra dmg. And then I have these corruptors flying around who aren't doing a thing untill I morph them into Bl's locking me into air, since I'll need even more corruptors now or hydra's to protect them. no ty, for that amount I'd rather get 5 ultra's who are 1,5k/1k/30psi Corruption is a spell that is nice to do when you need to get coruptors, but not a reason to get them. Maybe someone proves me wrong and can somehow show me that the 20% dmg taken is in someway worth it to get corruptors, but I really doubt it. Nope, you're right. Damaging tanks quicker isn't the issue...it's getting to the tanks to do damage. No offense to the suggestion, but using Corrupters to counter tanks is one of the more baffling suggestions I've ever heard. | ||

I'm just trying to make suggestions which may help, which is the point of the thread right? I personally don't think Terran needs nerfing, just Zerg needs buffing, so I'm trying to work out ideas. It'd be nice not to have everything anyones saying to try and help get shot down instantly. | ||

Because (we are talking about mech right?) of the imobility, it is hard/harder to move from one expansion to another to defend. The Viking needs the range do deal with Colossus, BC, Broodlord, Carrier. So a big no-no to lowering the range. But it's completly fine for the more expensive, less variable and alltogether just worse Corruptor to fly over the enemy army to deal with the all the treads you point out up there? The Corruptors can be used to make Broodlords, so it is more "variable" then the Viking. I do think that the Corruptor could do with a change though, similar to the Thor anti air. VS. Zerg is bio a problem Biodrops into crowded places behind Minerals are a problem, but i agree, i don't see Medivacs as one of the big problems. Drops are disign to be a problem, they are present in one way or another for all the races. | ||

You must just not be very good because playing as Zerg I have never lost to air. Queens are more than adequate until you get Hydras. QQ. Also, if air is tier 2, and hydras are tier 2.... WHATS THE PROBLEM?? | ||

- I would like to see higher standard overlord speed to fix Zergs scouting problems. - I would like to see zerg drops getting cheaper and maybe available in Tier 1. - Roach speed available in Tier 1. - I would like a nydus worm with higher HP, or nydus available in Tier 1. (this way you would always get through with a few units at least) All of these changes still require investments from Zerg, but increases flexibility and enables initiative early, without changing any of the lategame. With Terran I would like to see one thing: Reduce supply depots' HP. This would enable two other options for zerg: - Muta runs could still do damage from certain angles. - Wall-ins can be penetrated faster when Terran isn't watching his front. | ||

And also the general expectation that a zerg should FE (or 'quickly' expand), putting off lair at first. Although I personally prefer to get hydras asap. If you go roaches, you cannot get to t2 quick enough for the anti-air. Probably why you see a lot of pros getting the roach warren AFTER the hydra den. | ||

I'm not getting into the discussion as a whole, but I thought I'd highlight this. What you are suggesting is we break the game and swing the pendulum of imbalance waaaaaaaaaaay towards Z, think about what you put down there for 1 second... And zerg drops are pretty damn cheap, considering you pay 100/100 (or is it 150/150) once and every single supply depot you have is a dropship.... | ||

It's 100/100 for speed, 200/200 for drop, 100/0 for each overlord. Then you run the risk of losing a bunch of supply. So no, Zerg drop isn't that viable unless that's what you are going for. It's ESSENTIAL against Terran though. | ||

I agree with you (as a z player) that his suggestions are ludicrous and basically hurt the credibility of the zerg argument against terran for balance changes ...but actually it costs 200/200 + 100/100 for speed and the drop itself takes 130 seconds you can basically build a spire AND mutas by the time drop finishes | ||

This is my favorite comment because it's generally overlooked. I think the argument is more accurately: to what degree is there imbalance? | ||

Nah, these are pretty subtle changes. 1) having to wait for 1) Lair + 2) overlord speed + 3) overlord drops is just too much. What do you get back for it? Protoss warping is much faster and more flexible, and terrans dropships can also heal (!). 2) Nydus in early mid game would be expensive for that time, so it would be a dedicated and risky investment. But at least it would be an option. Nydus to me now seems clunky. | ||
