I think they should give zerg a new unit.



I actually agree with this.

Cuz Zerg got only 9 units that can be used while attacking and do damage (I dont count queen obviously..)
Zergling, Baneling, Roach, Hydra, Infestor, Mutalisk, Corrupt, Broodlord, Ultras
(yeah Im counting the useless and slow Hydra...even though it cant move outside the creep...)


Terran is sitting with 11 units that can attack.
Marine, Marauder, Ghost, Reaper, Hellion, Banshee, Viking, Battlecruiser, Tanks, Thor, Raven



Protoss got 12 units that can be used while attacking.
Zealot, Stalker, Sentry, Immortal, Collosus, Dark Templar, High Templar, Archon, Voidray, Phoenix, Carrier, Mothership.


This is one of the major reasons why Zerg cant do shit early game, they dont have enough units/options, it's a fact. This suprises me still..I dont think people realize what 1-2 units extra could've done for the Zerg..


edit:
notice how flexible the terran and protoss units are aswell compared to the zerg..the other races can get away from a battle easier than zerg..just saying.




1 - High Templar cannot attack, that brings it down to 11 units for protoss
2 - Mothership hardly counts, that brings it down to 10
3 - Queens are a staple zerg unit, that brings them up to 10.
5 - Infestors can pop Infested Terrans, that brings them up to 11

Also zerg is alot more flexable than protoss as they can spawn a mass of new tech near instantly provided they got the larvae. Also zerg have the same earlygame options the other races have, technically they have more because of Queens.

Z T1 = ling / Roach / Bane
T T1 = Marine / Mara / Reaper
P T1 = Zealot / Sentry / Stalker

So what are you smoking? Zerg do not need anything new and neither does Protoss for that matter, they just need it so what they have is as useful as a Terrans arsenal.


LOL, you can't even count to 5 dude how can you count units up to 11?

Edit: I've been all for it since beta, I really want to see the creep mechanic changed/removed. Zerg needs to play more like it did in BW.


HAHA, i didn't catch that.

Chronicle, I gotta say that was one of the dumbest things I've ever read.


Read your own posts sometime and you'll have a new champion in minutes. Every race has 3 tier 1 units (if you exclude queens) and you'd be braindead to assume otherwise.

Edit - Oh wow I hit the 5 key by accident because its right next to the 4 key so you try and debunk a whole argument on a typo? Man your desperate.

How bout the fact that you take out the High Templar but leave in the Infestor, counting it twice in fact since it can spawn Infested Terran (so should we count autoturrets and PDD for Terran?)
Or that you take out the Mothership, a unit with an actual attack, just because you think it doesn't count as a real unit? Hell, why not just count drones twice since they can turn into Spine and Spore Crawlers? There, now Zerg has 13 units and all the QQing can stop. They're officially balanced.

Those are the reasons your logic is flawed, not just that you made a (hilarious) typo.
If the quarter was in your right hand, that would've been micro

The ladder system makes you get 50%.

Being at 50% means nothing =\

i think right it is really hard to balance the game as it is because the zerg imbalance really only affects the top players. if blizzard was to buff zerg so easily, then every zerg would be winning all their games.

using tournament results is not very accurate, there have been tournaments where all protoss have been knocked out and only having zerg/terran left. but its still a fact that pretty much every final or semi final is mainly tvt

I don't understand something, they all said that they will change race and stuff and after that IdrA and Dimaga take 2nd and 3rd place @ IEM, Cool said he will change race and next day he beat one of the best terrans in the world.

I do agree that terrans might have some advantages, most of the tournaments is TvT since quarterfinals, sometimes a Protoss players takes win from terrans once in a time, but Zerg didn't win anything lately. Then I looked at last Go4Sc2 and I see dimaga losing in round 3 because he did stupid proxy hatch on DO with spine crawler push and he lost badly to 1000 rating toss.

So to be honest I think little changes to terran, like mule colddown, and very little tweaks for some units, and the game would be very close to balanced.

Hang on, you think a race being the hardest to play, the weakest and the least forgiving only affects those players who are least likely to suffer from these drawbacks?

Seriously?

Yeah, sadly (or hopefully, depends on your point of view), Zerg players threaten but don't take action. The imbalance seems more than just a little off for a lot of players. I don't really know if that's true since Zerg players still manage to win some games.

The main problem of the top Zerg pro seems to be T drops (which is not yet a problem at my lower mid diamond level). Buffing Spore Crawlers would really be beneficial, or/and nerfing medivacs speed which is insane compared to the other races (and without upgrades...).

At my lower level (900pts) just increasing roach armor to 2 could maybe make this unit more viable against marines. Right now roaches don't serve any purpose but to counter reapers and hellions, and more generally soak damage. They even get outmatched by lings -_-. But maybe 2 armor is too much. Not gonna change anytime soon however.

As for Dimaga, he should really switch to Terran if all he does is cheese with Z.

what i'm saying is that assuming win/lose ratios are more or less even between races, but zerg being less represented in some tournaments, buffing the race as a whole may fix tourneys but break the ladders.

Can we agree that tournaments are the best indicator of balance? The ladder ratings are not as good, as they can be skewed by games played and what strats people tend to execute on ladder: maybe they're not always the top tier, tourney winning builds.
