Corruptor is Zerg version of Phoenix/Viking.

I think you meant infestor.

i mean corruptors have to be good since zerg use less flying units than other races. Or just add scourge , pretty sure protoss tears would flow again XD

???

The difference is Zerg rarely uses early air units, not like protoss does much either in the current meta. In lategame, mass skyzerg dominates.

The fact that a big globe of corruptors can just kill a base and it’s very difficult to stop them (tanky and fast) is overkill, they don’t need to also dominate ground as a dedicated AA unit.

the old corruptors have a ability that have impact to the fight. but they change it. the idea is aa-counter (viking, corruptor, phonix) have a ability that they can use to have impact, when they do there job.

Have you tried making a ground unit that shoots up?

I can’t believe im saying this but if ur opponent is massing corruptors build void rays. If you are not protoss make cyclones or vikings

If you see corrupters. you probably have a 1 to 2 min window to all in zerg. usually they dont have any ground units… crazy how zerg can be so greedy… but yes no ground units and about to get gg lords… i mean broadlords out. usually this is gg no matter what race you are. especially if you dont see this coming.

yes because broodlords are known to counter units completly, including tempests Bc’s vikings and void rays. If they had no ground army, why didnt you just push. sounds like a scouting problem to me

just from my overall experience playing zerg. they go straight to broods… of course they have corrupter included by once broods start coming its usually gg. Ive played some zerg that just queen ling bane… which is really good defense. until they get tech for broods and then its gg…

Did they changed Corruptors? I didnt play for couple days. They are now noob units which are tanky, ez to get and air/ground attacker as Carrier,VR,Tempest, BC? Good, will be fun play Zerg again

umm what? The corruptor is pretty expensive. And it can’t really handle much of anything by itself unless the enemy has a pidly air army. It takes bonus damage vs vikings and void rays. Carriers in good numbers eat them alive usually. They are good against tempest and liberators. And they are not very versitile. Not sure where you go that from? I think you mean infestor…but again they aren’t cheap. I have no idea what you mean by unnecessarily versatile. Because the beauty of starcraft is that units transition from one point to the next, and they don’t just stop being useful. Sounds like you would just like to have the infestor as a minute 8-15 unit and they do nothing…and that’s not good game design.

The corruptor is so broken that it gets manhandled by BCs, the unit it’s supposed to counter

I think marines can kill corruptors waaaaaaaaaaaay faster than vice versa.

Don’t think so. Corruptor has the role of BW devourer… but in BW it cost so much more resources and supply… in sc2 it is almost a free unit considering it capabilities at the cost of a mutalisk.
