New Zerg Unit in Heart of The Swarm - Page 82

I agree.


brood war.

Terran = middle of the road for supply/units 1:2 ratio to zerg. pretty low mobility, but lots of long range to make up for that
Protoss = most supply/units 1:3-4 ratio to zergs. even with those ratios its an even fight. slightly more mobile than terran, high damage for each individual unit but less units overall.
zerg = least supply/units. builds at a 2;1 ratio to terran and 3-4:1 to protoss. most mobile race. REQUIRES lots of units to spread out the damage. zerg units all have a very slowly rising level of survivability.

SC2.

Terran. most mobile harass race. countless harass options. has Transformer units because dustin browder watches too much movies and tries to bogart SC2 to being transformers or power rangers or whatever. Viking and now the new terran unit. tanks with "smart"fire and such made tanks do LOL damage when they had as much damage as back in brood war. their damage actually had to get NERFED to below brood war standards, even though DPS has risen overall in sc2.

Protoss. kept up with their mobility, given insane map unit production calls with proxy pylons for warpgates. chrono zealots = 10 second build time compared to 2 zerglings requiring 24.

Zerg. like terran, given a "tank" unit, roach compared to marauder. Zerg roach is too strong. so roach is cut in half by 2 supply instead of being 1 supply it originally was in beta. Now zerg has half the forces. So much DPS on the field from smart fire tanks and colossus means that for a ground army, unlike brood war, there is no option for ling/hydra. its either ling festor and hope to catch his army as smaller, or corruptor roach, because only mass roach can take the damage of colossus centric armies with ground based support. and you cant buy roaches and hydra and still have supply left over for other units like you could when roaches were 1 supply. also, don't say that you need mass brood lords or ultra with corruptor roach. that shit is too expensive to get even if you're 6 base to protoss 3 base. the only way to get that is if protoss sits on his ass and lets you.

oh yeah, and then hydras move slow as shit. and then hydras cost 2 supply when air units have received huge DPS buffs over brood war air units. compare banshee to wraith. lol. 8 damage on ground with moderately slow fire rate vs 24 damage with high fire rate. VRs with charge kiting spores is another matter altogether (you kite spores by forcing uproots, attacking it some as it roots, then moving to kill other building, so shut it).

so zerg = less swarmy, slower, and less AA viability (as opposed to 1 supply hydras from brood war).



its like Dustin Browder is to Starcraft 2 what George Lucas is to the new Star Wars and the Star Wars series.

only die hard fan boys are not vomiting in rage at this travesty of a "competitve game".

look at the formula.

They gave a 'tank" unit to each race, immortal, roach, marauder. Just like WoW. Its becoming formulaic. blizzard hasn't had a single original idea since the end of brood war.
