Also, to the mods, I'm not trying to advertise my channel (only one video anyway), that's just where I have the footage. Also, I don't know if you can read what I typed, but attacking the Siege Tanks instead of running by makes there be about 60 units left (so 48 lost), and with horrible micro. | ||

I would really like to see lurkers put back into Sc2. Blizzard says overlapping role, but Siege Tanks and Marauders ( both dealing bonus damage to armor) overlap and Terran is fine. It's not like you never see Marauders or Siege Tanks, you get to pick and choose. As for Banelings, there really only cost effective against Light units and nothing else :/ | ||

you should try doing it where the bio army can see the lurkers. and dont stupidly run into them. the spines have alot less splash area if the ball isnt sitting right on top of it(similar area to a siege tank might i add). and even without detection no idiot is going to run their ball and park it right on top of lurkers. | ||

oh and lurkers can't abuse high ground cliffs like tanks can. Turns out, they can, at least in the Galaxy Editor. They don't work as well as Siege Tanks though, because they have shorter range and there is a nasty bug where you can just run ahead of the Lurker's attack (where the Lurker attacks and it misses). | ||

This made me a drool a little :x But at the same time it made me almost cry now that I realize again that lurkers aren't in sc1, they are basicly my favourite unit out of any rtsgame or any stuff like that ever. But in reality the only way I see the lurker working realistically (and not even thinking about the techpath and so on) is if it had like a range upgrade to make it outrange MMM balls by just a bit. | ||

Now to the actual video: You have Lurker all wrong. It is in no way like a Siege Tank. Any competent player, or in this case, a Terran, would scan and then kill the Lurkers. Lurkers were great in SC:BW mainly because of the Dark Swarm, seeing as though that isn't in the game, it will drastically be less effective and be used differently in SC2. In SC2 I would imagine Lurkers being more defensive, and never come in packs (as one detector would annihilate all Lurkers). Instead, a player would probably have one lurker at each base, or used to prevent enemy mining (assuming you sneak one to the back. | ||

True, but I think by the time Zerg would have lurkers out, T3, if you don't have detection at that point then im pretty sure you'd lose anyways. Anyways, even if you hit those 7 lurkers, one scan and they're all dead. | ||
