On the other hand, my skill with Zerg is about at the same level and I have a horrible time dealing with mutas in zvz. To me it is basically instant win if you catch your opponent off guard with them. But overall I wouldn't consider them OP the slightest bit. Edit: as I typed this out I just saw EGiNcontroL get destroyed by them. | ||

This is a very recent example of the difficulties which mutas create in the PvZ matchup. Attack and pray while they're expanding and killing your base. Or turtle and cry as they pick away at your main while banking a lot of money for a strong tech switch off 5 base. | ||

Besides archons, templars, blink stalkers all do a pretty good job against them. No they are a counter to a small number of mutas, but get worst the more mutas there are. And all of these units need to catch the mutas and fight them in a sustained battle. This is why protos has sucha problem with them, because the mutas simply leave when your army shows up. They are brutal and get force protoss into a base-trade that really feels like it favors the zerg. I would love a unit that could shoot 1 time and really do some damage to a flock of mutas, which is what I am hoping the tempest will do. | ||

Also, blizzard has said that if they were focused only on balance, they wouldn't change multiplayer at all in HotS; it may be that blizzard just doesn't think that mutalisks create fun games for the player on the receiving end. Obviously, I don't actually know what blizzard is thinking, but these are my guesses. | ||

It isn't creative to make the same unit again. If your going to copy your own work, do it right (especially when the original worked so well!) haha | ||

It is impossible to propely defend your base against a pack of Mutalisks. Cannons are terrible compared to the cheaper anti-air of the other races, and your army can only be in so many places at once. You can split it it up, but do that too many times and you are just donating units to the Zerg. Mutalisk builds are weak to 2-base allins, but you can't magically change your build after you scout Mutalisks incoming. A hastily thrown together assault is pretty much always going to fall apart against the pre-emptive spine crawlers and zerglings of your opponent. | ||

At some point the splash dmg from muta is just so out of control that toss really has no answer to it besides i hope the zerg is bad enough to let me get a storm off, or fly right into arcons. This is how it feels from a toss point of view, in all honesty thought mutas are my crutch, i just cant beat them so i might be biased | ||

I think it's more of a design choice that they don't want mutalisks to be massed up to 30 or so. | ||

In the style were people go mass mutas, they don't ever fight the army directly. This sort of base trade style really hard to deal with on large maps. You can't deal with the mutas because you need your WHOLE ARMY to fight them and they will never commit. | ||

Archons are too slow, blink stalkers are actually quite bad against muta, no way your gonna get a storm off on a good player, and phoenix are good in low # to low # combat, but not massed. Protoss AA is pretty shitty. But wouldn't that fall under "well, if you let the protoss acquire 200/200, it is hard"? It's not like dozens of mutas appear out of thin air | ||
