I don't really spam click with the purpose of getting APM so it's just something coming with the race I guess. If you played zerg with 60 apm I don't think you could actually manage more than two bases and a 1a army. You gotta move faster as zerg to survive. | ||

Exact same thing happened to me when I switched from toss to zerg. I think it might have something to do with larva injects, and the fact that I can't keep my whole army on one hotkey anymore. | ||

I generally try to FE in all matchups (playing Terran), and sometimes some cheese just gets me. And then I watch the replay, and I notice that I could have held it off, but lost it due to stupid micro/decision mistakes (not pulling scvs, not focusing down a void ray, not stutter step microing etc..) I don't know what to feel about these losses. I try to play as safe as possible, but some cheese just gets me. Should I be feeling like I'm a horrible player, or that I can't hold some cheese off or do stupid mistakes? Should I let these losses damage my confidence as a player? | ||

Losing in a learning process, not something to be upset by, or lose confidence in yourself. You should be happy when you lose, because now you have something to work on next game, and you learnt something about what your build is weak against, or what you need to work on as a player | ||

I'm not sure if you're poking fun at my statement or actually saying that. You simply can't stop using your queens if you expect to win as zerg. It doesn't matter if you're in a damn fight with colossii and void rays, you're going to have to shift que or fall back a few bits to inject or you sure as hell won't have the ability to remax if things don't go phenomenally well for you. But no, the real apm sink I feel as a Zerg player is constantly having a force harassing and slowing a push while simultaneously keeping up base management through creep spread, injects and teching/solidifying defenses WHILE setting up an ambush (burrowed banes/roaches or simply hiding in the FOW to snipe rear units and sandwich an army).. The reality though is that Protoss can be played beautifully with warp prism drops, sneak/diversion attacks and other high apm stratagems and a lot of the argument is just bitching and moaning. Saviour played with a low APM until had bursts of activity and I will not question it is possible to play with a minimal amount of APM as zerg. But the final word is you have to have a certain (very achievable) APM to play at the Gold+ level. The real story will always be not about how high your actions per minute are but what actions you're doing. I hope that was a joke. I'm going to quietly simmer and rage at you for being able to play with your army on one hotkey >,< On June 12 2011 17:19 L3g3nd_ wrote: Why does every ladder zerg do some variation of a 2 base all in? + Show Spoiler + Today i have played 4 games.

I'd complain about half the time I vs T/P on the ladder they wall off my ramp or do some other 1/2 base all in (Which is pretty damn accurate) but I'd just be hiding the fact that half the zvz's I play involve 1 base strategies (My favorite being I'm going to make 15 spinecrawlers and 700 mutas wanna play?, closely followed by I'll make pure lings until it works or I quit. 6 pool double spinecrawler on your creep is just so last year) Its good to remember the weekend on the ladder is ALL IN ALL NIGHT BABY! | ||

I think Protoss is the least APM intensive, and the warp gates make armies really easy to control/make/reinforce. Their macro mechanic is also the easiest, since it can be used at any time and on any production building. However, I think Protoss can also be very difficult to be creative with, so low APM doesn't bother me very much. | ||

I'm thinking some sort of Ghost-Mech to hold out and punish protos a bit, gain ground on the map with Siege Tanks, some BF helions and Ghosts for EMP, and ultimately, having a big battlecruiser fleet. Is it possible theoretically? I'm looking for some sort of a long term focus strategy on transitioning between tech trees, while holding out an expanding. Sort of how Zerg gradually gets to Broodlord tech v. Protoss. | ||

Anyone else have this from time to time? What annoys me the most bout the zerglings is that they require 0 micro to take out scouting probes. You just place them wherever on the map, if it spots a probe itll chase and kill it completely by itself, given it has the speed upgrade. The result of this is YOU HAVE TO get observers out or push to get some scouting done, and pushing can be dangerous considering you dont know wether the zerg has been massing units all along or pushing drones. This problem is bigger than most ppl think. In BW it was atleast possible to get some scouting done early/mid game with probes etc. Now im constantly kept in the dark, especially with xel naga towers making it easier to spot my probe. I dont like the fact that every PvZ has to feel like somewhat of a gamble. Am i the only one who thinks this way? | ||

I think PvZ is a fragile matchup for both players at the moment, and this is one of the reasons why. | ||

Anyone else have this from time to time? It's your mistake only. You can always wall off 1 square with zealot to prevent lings running by. Post a replay if you think otherwise. Just an idea, how would Siege Tank turtle into Battlecruiser be in TvP? It feels like Bio play is just too weak for any long term play. Marauder/Medivac/Viking/Ghost is the sickest endgame TvP composition you can get (unlike Mech it's extremly hard to counter for P). Mass vikings, they are more food efficient than marines even while in ground mode and they are superior to anything but mass phenix in air. And marauders... i don't think it need's a comment. | ||
