Terran and Zerg will complain about collosus and storm, but Protoss is equally right to complain that they auto-lose to marine or hydra compositions of half the cost of P's army until they have their late game tech. Protoss's game logic goes something like this: P's T1 units are exceptionally weak for cost in the mid-game. Marines, marauders, roaches, hydras and zerglings will beat any gateway composition for cost pretty comfortably. This is offset in two ways. In the early game, warpgates allow P to get extra units early on if they choose to do so, so P can build enough crap to defend or be aggressive despite their weaker units. As the army sizes grow, however, the weakness of the T1 units becomes increasingly exposed, so this is offset in the mid and late game by insanely strong tech options in collosus and storm. Zergs and Terrans complain about Protoss late game, but Protoss has no answer to comparable cost roaches until Protoss reaches 180+ food. FORCEFIELDS. There just solved your midgame toss problem | ||

There just solved your midgame toss problem Forcefields are not enough, upgraded roaches with speed upgrade are just too cost-efficient, particulary considering that the Zerg is often 1 base ahead of the Protoss. You basically have to hope that the Zerg will engage you in a terrible situation to have a chance. When roaches had range 3 it was a unit which was really terrible against microed stalkers-sentries/marauders, but right now it's too strong for me. We're back to beta time. | ||

Any BM they have between them is just them trash-talking each other for fun. They're friends from their days at CJEntus. | ||

I'm also feeling that Zerg is still the worst race right now... just my opinion. <--Random Master player (not saying I'm PRO, just that I'm not bronze at least...) | ||

I mean, you can get Colossus really fast and youst tech slowly to HT and theres not much Zerg can do about it, a good Protoss wil keep constant pressure and if you focus the Coruptors well they Hydras literaly evaporate. | ||

But to get angry when he responds DIRECTLY TO A QUESTION regarding what he thinks would be the best fix for Zerg right now, is to be more bad mannered than IdrA ever had a reputation for. IdrA is betta than all o' yall | ||

Racial balance is actually really good right now even if some Zergs are having trouble with Protoss. edit: And I'd probably disagree with Idra asking for a Hydra buff. Maybe make them a bit quicker but they don't need a "significant buff." | ||
