I would love to be able to scout better, as I feel scouting is the weakest part of my game and consequently the part holding me back from gaining on the ladder. Even a SMALL increase to overlord starting speed, such as 0.4687 ->.70305 (50%) Or +1 armor for overlords, would make scouting DRASTICALLY easier early game. 2 marines patroling should not end all scouting for the next 6-7 minutes. | ||

Or don't make lair a requirement for overseer. ovie speed as tier one maybe? this might have the potential to change so much without really breaking anything. it wouldn't break very early game scouting as you'd still have to research it, but you would be able to get an idea of what to prepare for and not insta-lose for guessing their move incorrectly. also, more zergs would research this and be set up to research ovie drop at tier 2, lowering the cost of a tech that isn't often seen. I'd really love to see that as a test on PTR. | ||

I agree that early game cheese/all-ins are far too prevalent against zerg... How can blizzard "make scouting easier" though? tank thor with enough marines to mess up magic box mutas and vikings if they go brood add in emp if they get to heavy air and are using infestors vs vikings. they should either up overlord base speed or make overlord speed upgrade hatch tech and cheaper they should also make observers equivalently better and scan/mule should be reduced to 25 mana and mules weakened proportionately | ||

The biggest problem however seems to be reaction time, which correlates to rush-distance between bases. Edit: I do not think making overlord speed a hatch tech breaks anything. - Good suggestion! | ||

Btw, changing Overseer to hatch tech is just silly... they'd have to remove the contaminate ability to avoid abuse. | ||

FoxeR has the best name on this list  #200 makes me sad. If that's not another FoxeR smurf, whoever's playing that ought to be shot. | ||

Thanks for the replies. Nice to hear about the reasons why zerg isn't doing too hot lately. I suck ass, but in my recent switch to zerg, I realized just how shitty it must be to ladder as a zerg. There is maybe 10% of games that don't end within five minutes. Cannon cheese, bunker rush, marine rush... it is ridiculous. I really think zerg is a fun race to play. I love the creep spreading and a lot of the units seem pretty cool. There are just too many gimmicky bullshit strategies that make zerg not only hard to play, but almost a luck based race. That's in my own terrible experience, anyways. | ||

Zergs are now always 10 or more drones ahead of the terran (same for protoss) and people are still suggesting to nerf mules? Let me explain it: mules are needed for terran to make up for those 10+ more drones / probes. I agree to nerf mules when terran can actually win a 200vs200 fight in tvp. What a complete joke is that. A race that can warp in an entire army in a few clicks wins in a 200vs200 fight against a race that has to wait for his units to come out. By the time they come out, protoss should have finnished the game. Maybe you shouldn't post while drunk, or in bronze league. Protoss production buildings still have cooldowns. | ||

You shouldn't post while not understanding. A 200vs200 fight --> protoss WINS the fight (= terran loses all his units) --> protoss adds more units to his champion army --> protoss attacks with his winning army + reinforcements --> terran dies. Well your english isn't great(or you're drunk) which is why nobody is understanding your 2 posts, which basically say that Terran can't 21 CC vs. Zerg or they'll die to banelings, and mules shouldn't be nerfed until a 200 supply terran army can beat a 200 supply toss army because those mules are the only thing allowing terran to keep up with toss and zerg economies. Not sure what this really has to do with anything, but maybe that helps to clarify because I had to reread your posts 10 times to finally understand them. The other potential change if they don't want to make speed hatch tech for OL's could be to reduce queen build time, and make ol speed cost 50/50. Would allow for faster lair tech, and basically mean all zerg players could get the speed upgrade quicker. I see this similar to making hallucinate even cheaper/easier to get as a scouting tool for toss. Would potentially go one step further in maybe allowing lair tech to happen while a queen was building. I've never liked how lair tech was delayed by 1 building cycle of a queen. Would be like having to wait to build a cybor core till you had a zealot or needing a maurader to build a factory. | ||
