I'm surprised so many find the hydralisk thing funny but I think that's because of my terran bias(or non zerg bias). Hydralisk off creep is actually same speed as marine/rauder/siege tank when they aren't stimmed so I never understood why people acted like they were so slow(thors are considerably slower).That means every terran push is actually moving like that towards the zerg lol. oops it was covered :x If Hydralisks had the meat to hold their own in a fight like Marine/Marauder/Tanks then Zergs wouldn't complain about their mobility. Since we know their stats wont get buffed, we complain about their speed instead since it makes using them a pain in the butt since evrything else we own moves almost twice as fast. Not to mention, with its current stats, the Hydra is equivalent to two marines, but also costs 50 gas a piece. But here is the real kicker: Hydralisks have a delay on there attack in that instead of being instant like a marines it needs to wait for the animation of the spines to hit the target before any damage is done, meaning that often time they lose out on attack initiative and do poorly in fights against marines. Not only that, but because of the Hydras attack animation you cannot even do the absurd marine style micro with them. The other thing that makes Zergs complain about their speed is the fact that Hydralisks are only useful very specific timing pushes. Against Terran, they just lose to everything. Against Toss, they are great until either Colossus or Storm comes out... which means against Certain builds they are useless come the 8-9 minute mark. Worse yet, you can't properly exploit such a window because it takes such a long time for them to traverse the map . If they moved faster, the timing window where you can do a decent hydra push with chances of success is much easier to hit. ...wow, I have a lot of resentment for the SC2 hydra... I didn't mean to go off on such a tangent... | ||

I meant just in the flash they are portrayed as incredibly slow, when in fact they are the same speed as siege tanks / most terran units (when off creep). Don't worry about it, us Zerg players just have resentment issues. -.- | ||
