They take out corsairs/vessels much easer that what I remember form Brood War. They don't have the short pause before detonating. Lurkers, The smarter pathing for marines hampers them. In Brood war marines had a nasty habit of forming up in a long line for lurker shots even when moving just a few in game units. In BW it took a good bit of micro to line marines up perpendicular to the lurker splash. In Starbow, Units line up perpendicular to lurkers on their own greatly effecting their splash. Dark Swarm, I still feel the smart casting is a bit strong. Yet the limits put on defilers help a good bit. but more importantly, Tank's splash just needs to work under it. Terran. Orbital, Call down SCV is really messing up TvT. It feels so bad to go mech and play vs Bio, Only to have the bio player drop scv's on your tanks just before stiming in. Ghost, Both ghost ability are effective but come out too soon. both need a lengthy recherches time. Ghost cloak is out very quick as well. Some options are moving requirements for upgrades to other buildings (and making the abilities upgrades to start with) Science vessels. Again smart casting issues. Yet unlike the defiler, there are not many effective limits. Protoss, High Templar, Yet again smart casting issue. but to a much lesser extent than the other casters. Just to clarify, I don't want smart casting remove, I just notice the seemingly strong state of the above. | ||

So adding dark swarm here is very good, besides tanks suck vs ds completely i feel so tanks are not an option really other than the 3tank/SV push against lurker play. @Lurkers I feel they are weak to. If we compare them to broodwar: 1) All units move alot smoother. Therefore reach their target alot easier. 2) Alot of units have much better agility. The most relevant unit is the marine. 3) The lurker cant stack. In broodwar he could. This means in decent armee size or bigger fights, the lurkers will do less damage. AKA, u wanna burrow that 3lurkers but u cant cuz lurkers are already burrowed underthem->Zerg lose tons of damage. All this combined my feeling is they are weaker even though they have more health, and more damage. I would recommend to buff their burrow time. . I agree, Units in SC2 don't take as much damage for lurkers line style splash, their splash normally on hit 1 or 2 units when on open ground. And they still can't hold vs bio in chokes. Some one said we should get banelings to help Lurkers hold a choke. What they are missing is, Zerg wants the lurkers to hold a choke so they can be teching wile Terran hits his timings . When you are going ling baneling. you need to mass expand and delay Hive a bit to keep trading with the Terran. They are 2 different play styles that don't work well with each other. | ||

I would recommend snipe or something else. It just seems a little too much like Starcraft 2 where massing one unit and casting a spell that kills everything. It almost reminds me of a Protoss deathball. P.S. I think that Ghost should still be a strong unit, albeit in a more tactical role. I would recommend replacing Seeker Drone with Auto Turret or something that's less "offensive" in nature. Still powerful and useful, great for harass and drops, but not A-movable over an enemy army when en masse. | ||

I really don't trust people to be courteous about this. Some people are just dicks as soon as ladder points get on the line and when they see something like 0-7 against the matched up player I am sure they can find ways to not play that particular game. Place it on the website, but not right in their face the moment before the game. | ||

You need a way of dealing with this, it spoils ladder. sorry to bother, but i had issues playing vs you too - twice. you claimed i had some private settings enabled which i checked several times. i could never find you on the starbow channel nor did i see you in a match channel. there either must be issues on your side or with bnet. /cvts | ||
