TLO playing Zerg is actually really, really sick to watch and everytime it makes me wonder why nobody else plays the way he does ZvT :S I hope we can get a video of him/his screen while playing, he is really impressive mechanically.

TLO's Zerg play is what made me stay with them as my race. I was so sad when he announced he was switching to Terran. He should play some showmatches at least, but I wish he would go into tournaments with Zerg.

QQ It's blizzard's fault they don't know how to balance a game and they don't care about it.

Seriously this thread needs more moderation. Anyway maybe Zerg doesn't fit Cool's playstyle.

Nooooooo fruitseller...! One of our finest generals...

I agree dropships are a pain in the ass to handle. But how would you fix that? Make them more expensive? Nerf healing? How about nerf capacity?


Marauders should cost 4 spaces like the Dragoon did.


I like this. 2 marauders can't kill a base. However, dps-wise, 8 marines with stim can match marauders, and the strength of terran drops is that they can send 4 drops ships out on completely different paths, drop you in each of your bases, take out half your econ if you can only defend one or two bases, and then get away while staying nice and safe in their base with the protection of tanks and turrets. Then while zerg is trying to remacro, terran moves forward and takes base by base.

So basically, it's not just the units that the dropships are able to carry, it's the sheer mobility it provides the terran army when the terran army's best strength lies in immobility (defending their 2 bases).


How about Marauder costing 4 spaces and Marine costing 2. It forces you to bring more drop ships to actually do real damage, limiting the amount of simultaneous droppings you can do for such a free commodity. You have two options to balance something you made wildly more accessible: Nerf its potency or buff its countermeasures. Reducing effective cargo size is one, or bringing back a Scourge equivalent is another. I like the cargo size one because it doesn't affect the matchup all that much.

He's pretty much the #1 Zerg in the world. If it doesn't fit his playstyle, it doesn't fit anyone's :\

5 second change on 3 units, 2 of which are in a small sample of terran strategies, will not swing the matchups from 90-60% to 50/50.

I was personally expecting/hoping for hydras moved to tier 1.5 or something like that. Zerg is just fundamentally outclassed by the other races.

Unfortunate.

We need The Dong to revolutionize the Zerg. If there is anyway to, that is.

I totally agree with (T)MorroW. I'd like to know what Cool's thoughts are after he gets his hands on 1.1 for a couple weeks... since he won't be busy with the GSL

Make medivacs being able to heal units an upgrade. Start out as dropship, upgrade to healing capacity at starport. Concussive shells back to 100/100. Bunkers can't be salvaged if being attacked, and increase time to salvage.

patch pretty much did nothing to PvZ okay so my 2gate is slightly weaker - while it was an issue, there are far bigger issues in the midgame which are fucking zerg over.

Wouldn't scourge and lurks fix a lot of these problems? Are they going to be units that come with the 'balance-expansion' packs? If this is the case then blizz can go .... themselves.

Medivac rant + Show Spoiler +
I hate this unit. Why does it exist and who came up with the idea of giving terran a drop ship that heals bio units with a magical green beam? There are medics in the campaign ffs. It would make terrans choose between loading only dps units in the drop ship or adding a medic or two with the drop.

well the biggest problem is that this game isn't stable, if they buff zerg too much in early game zerg has an even bigger advantage in the later stages of the game. You also want to use every unit, which is done very good in all non mirror matchups(except tvt)

This continued realization of zerg's incapability is so depressing.

I really hope blizz is playing attention because what happens in the pro- and high level gaming scene is a long term liability for the success of the game. If tournaments soon become 85% terran, 13% protoss, and 2% zerg, no one will want to watch, and the impetus for competitive play at lower levels will die a slow death.
