I mean, 50 Marines with Stim and Shields crush 50 1-1 upgraded Mutas, which means that 2500 Mins defeat 5000/5000 mins/gas. Now you can say that therefore Mutas have a high mobility and extreme map control - AND THATS WHAT I MEAN! If one Protoss Ship can defeat so many Mutas, why should i even build them? They need to reduce Marines cost, because ATM they're the most cost-ineffective unit in the whole game. I mean, if you walk 50 marines into like 6 banelings they could all die... ... | ||

Or you look at high level play where they stim and outrun banelings before splitting and trading very cost-effectively vs banelings. And with mutas vs marines it isnt a matter of "if" or "could" but it happends, marines can trade cost inneffecitvely vs banes but mutas will trade costineffectively vs marines | ||

Well it just so happens people can micro Mutas too. | ||

Which would be true if it wasn't for the fact that mutalisks can choose their fight while marines more often than not, can't. If you make mutalisks in hope of being able to roll through the Terran's front, you obviously need to think through your gameplan a bit. | ||

How about a researched spell that causes corpse explosion =P Muta dies to Phoenix fire explodes and splashes other mutas =P | ||

Good idea. PHX are a cool unit and should just be improved so they are even more usable. Toss dont need more speciality units, they need 1 more "core" unit. | ||

Each unit is based on situational performance, the argument over the muta should be that it causes too many situations to go a certian way. That is all. | ||

It isn't wholly the mutalisks fault, its like the void rays. You manage to somehow let him get too many and its extremely difficult to fight. | ||

Just curious do you consider Sentries specialists or core units? I mean they are specialists but you see them so often that u'd just consider them core anyways | ||

The Tempet is designed to help noobs not lose to a-move mass muta balls. If you flank them, I don't think they perform that well, also, they are fairly low dps. Each unit is based on situational performance, the argument over the muta should be that it causes too many situations to go a certian way. That is all. If you flank they can just fly away. It's not like Vikings/marines/thors can ever catch mutalisks. | ||

"if zerg masses Mutas protoss loses automatically because Mutas are op" i mean stalkers dont really do well against so many mutas. not even with blink. Blizzard suggested the phoenix as a counter .... and? if the zerg has 50 mutas, why dont protossplayers make 30 phoenixes? Its the same thing with the infestor. 20 high templar can easily kill infinte infestors. Broodlords too strong? make a f*ckton of vikings Thors too strong? Make a f*ckton of roaches XXX too strong? make a f*ckton of YYY People really should get away of that "derp derp is too op" mentality If there are some real issues like the "speed" infestors or the op blueflame hellions blizzard is going to do something about it. And if they make mistakes like the neural parasite change the community is going to tell them. | ||

Storms and archons are the best solution | ||

Single purpose air-units like valkyries and devourers should counter all air units (including BCs and Carriers). holy shit you are the dumbest person i have ever seen congrats edit:wow that post was posted like 40 days ago but still my point stands though User was warned for this post | ||

And if they make mistakes like the neural parasite change the community is going to tell them. Are you even playing the same game as the rest of us? If you don't know how things work, the best solution is always not to open your mouth. Phoenix production can't possibly cope with the amount of mutalisks zerg can make at once, its not like youc an just suddenly dish out 30 phoenixes. Not to mention mutalisks in large numbers are still better because of bounce, AND one fungal can catch all your phoenixes and instalose you the game. If you're playing this game and go "Oh, he's making mutalisks, I need to start mass producing phoenixes then!" you've already lost. You can't play this game above bronze lvl and just think unit x counter unit y.

Like I said above, one fungal and you've lost the game. It has happened in so many pro matches that no progamers dare go for it anymore. If its that risky, its not viable. (especially when you can just go blink stalkers, archons and storm and be a lot more safe, even against gound units) Cheese builds excluded (like ffe into 3 stargate allin). | ||
