Really, on a thin thread we walk when toss goes mass air. The only thing that can save us is fungal. It's stupid really, we can't counter any mass air from any race without this spell. Hydras are useless and can't be used for anything except anti air. If they go air and we have to make hydras they win ground. We don't even kill the air because they can just run away with whatever it is they have. gg | ||

Or do you mean that unit we have that is kind of like a stalker but has no blink and can only move fast for defending. well zerg has this mechanic where they have to spread creep to take full advantage of their units so if they are actively spreading creep with tumors and overlords they could probably attack with said hydra's as well. obviously i know its not an exact comparison, its just fun for zergs to get a taste of their own medicine. For example maybe you will have to build 2-4 spore crawlers per base if you ever want to move out kinda like protoss with cannons? | ||

(and those who know me, know that that's a big deal to me, as i have stated that almost nothing would make me leave zerg) | ||

It's usually better to mass queens, take a quick third and try to build a huge roach ball to move in for the kill. You can't get hydras in ZvZ, it cripples you. They are far too expensive on both gas (crippling you offensively) and minerals (crippling you economically). | ||

He's talking about the mirror match, and some pros do get hydra, but only if they go hydra infestor, for the fungals, but yeah fungal ties into hydra pretty much. | ||

Terrans this is Stim no longer boosting move speed. Protoss this is like collosus no longer havign range upgrade. At least thats how it feels to me, just this integral part of a unit is missing. and nothing feels the same. | ||

If only protoss had an anti-air unit which was faster than mutalisks and could kite them, theoretically killing an infinite number with only one of that unit. | ||

That's pretty bullshit to me, pls fix the maximum amount of larvae you can spawn. Yep, larva stack mechanic is pretty broken. Real reason why no other race can keep up with Zerg macro. If they have extra hatches its fine, but a cap of 19 larva per hatch? Wtf seriously. | ||

And infestors useless? Seriously? 1) Pop a few infested terrans with burrow to destroy siege lines 2) Stop stalkers from blinking away. 3) Fungal growth MM balls to mass baneling ownage 4) Neural parasite a mech army (its still pretty damn good) 5) Stall any push with fungal growth 6) Fungal growth harass workers and pop a few infested terrans to finish them off Defending against drops isn't gonna be all that difficult either. Previously, there was a timing window when T had air dominance, before mutas popped. After this, all the creep spread and ovies meant that dropship would be sniped by mutas before they reached their destination. I've never actually seen infestors used to defend against dropships until very late game. And its not like Zergs get infestors all the time anyway. The crying here is really over the top >.< | ||

Toss has an open window if they are trying to add voids to their army. Make them get more ground than they want to. Get mutas and corruptors. They would have less voids because they are so damn expensive and take forever. If you let them mass you will lose with out fungal growth. you will lose a lot of ovies unless someone has a better idea. | ||

it should not be so hard to beat a guy who only masses a tier-1 unit the entire game. | ||
