don't throw winrates out of the window so... I think everyone would agree that the push on the 4th on akilon was ridiculous ie.

Biomine vs muta/ling/bling is insanely snowbally, but still imo the most balanced and demanding match up in sc2 history never understood that. to me it's the least "snowbally" matchup. most matchups are 1 engagement and then the snowball is instantly an avalanche. the fact that it's "snowballing" at all instead of "instant gg" is a credit to the matchup IMO. but that's just my opinion Show nested quote +On January 24 2014 20:03 fx9 wrote:
Mutas and overlord speed were initially buffed to help Zerg against bio+WM.
With WM nerf, why should it stays as it is now?
Mutas are just too good of an unit across all MU currently. overseer speed buff was really more about not instantly losing every single overseer to stimmed marines if you ever have to retreat from a fight. the utility it added to muta vs mine probably went a little too far, but i still like being able to have detection with the mutas. i just think mutas should be a little weaker against mines. too easy to snipe them
Overseer speed is also mainly to let overseer stack on the pack of mutas to make sniping of mines easier.
And it also enables mutas to zip in and out of mineral lines without fearing of defensive mines.
