And instantly win a game where they were significantly down in army value, economy, and upgrades for 10 minutes, the forums would erupt into a salt volcano. Yet, that is exactly how Zerg works. They can be losing by a landslide, yet they stay in the game for 10 minutes because it just takes one lucky fight and that’s GG.

What you describes sounds exactly like Terran actually.
Terran’s comeback ability and margin for error are colossal. It’s absurd at this point. A protoss or zerg can control the map, killed off scvs all game, take better fights, fend off all the terran harassment, and then it’s gg when a maxxed out army attacks into a planetary fortress and evaporates.
How many times do we hear casters “hE sHoUlDnT hAvE aTtAcKeD iNtO pLanNeTaRy”
Terran has turned into pure BS at this point.
It has gotten especially bad for protoss. Protoss players have to play like a machine and even then it’s not enough sometimes. It’s impossible for a protoss player to micro against a timing attack while also fending off simultaneous widow mine drops which dont tax the mechanics that much.
I was watching hurricane vs innovation last night. and innovation was literally waddling widow mines across the map. That’s how easy terran is to play at this point.
Terran is a joke
Edit: here is one of the latest in the laundry list of games that shows how absurdly broken Terran is at this point.
A legendary zerg player, literally one of the best in the world, loses to turtle terran despite literally owning the map and covering 3 quarters of it in creep.

Yeah, for example swarmhosts, they keep you in the game, even if you have no economy. Because it is free money generator. Also if zerg holds into lategame, there is always chance he can win. Because zerg has best lategame…
That’s exactly what terran does, sweetie. Do I need to link you to games? I can think of a few off the top of my head.

HAha yes you have to win from economy deficit vs protoss. You are every game far behind, so you have to kill like 40-100 probes to win… Beside starcraft 2 is game, when longer times goes it is possible to comeback. People do mistakes, even pros. I saw impossible games , people come back from -80 supply…
Lol you say that as if Inno isn’t a legendary terran player himself. “literally owns the map” while being down 15-20 workers for a huge portion of the game and still allowing terran many bases. Decides to switch to broodlords vs a mech terran when we all know how good thors are against them now. Not to mention also loses and doesn’t remake his corruptors so all of his broods die to only 3 BCs because NOTHING is there to protect them. soO lost this game because he played worse, not terran imba.

Not if they build Ultralisk.
Because they built Ultralisk.
Because they stopped building Ultralisk and built other units.

I know inno is a legend, but that doesnt mean soo didnt play circles around him the entire game.
You’re ignoring the fact that Terran is the only race that has absurd defensive capabilities, absurd efficiency, MULES and absurd versatility. Terran is the only race that can pull this type of nonsense off because of those insane advantages it has.
Thors are not just good against brood lords. They are good against everything. They are, pound for pound, stronger than anything zerg has. Same with BCs.
Soo didnt play worse at all. Innovation just abused Terran turtling capabilities + absurdly efficient and versatile Terran units.
These types of games are common.

If this is your new crusade then I’m right there with you. I’m not so petty that I’d change my opinion just to disagree with you.
And tbh I’m more upset with the balance team than with you about the BC. I mean sure, you’re pretty directly responsible for the ridiculous state of the BC right now, and I warned you that this is exactly what would happen and banshees and libs would be almost extinct. But the balance team should never have been so easily swayed by one person, or even by the community at all tbh. Problem is they either dont understand their own game very well or theyre deliberately adding horrible things for spectator value and to create buzz.

That’s more of the Queens fault.
You are right, you are not Batz.
Picture Godzilla struggling to get around a car, that is what the Ultralisk faces everyday because it can’t push all units out of the way.

Lol suuuure xD That’s why they went from sometimes used to never used as soon as the BC was buffed… Because of the queen… But eh, I can understand not wanting to take responsibility for a horrible horrible mistake that you made when its so public. Honestly if you want to rail against the queen go for it. Like I’ve said before the queen is just busywork for zerg. Personally I rarely make more than 4-5 because theyre so clunky and boring.

It’s both TJ not requiring vision or an upgrade, and the Queen having 8 AA range.
If you think soO played circles around him all game then I have no idea how to overcome that level of bias. I gave several mistakes that he made and you didn’t make a single counter point to them.
You say terran has absurb ground defense. Well good thing given zerg is throwing FREE units at him constantly. Not to mention terran doesn’t have static ground defense unless you want to pay 550/150 for it.
Thors literally lose to zerglings. Ultras also beat them in low number scenarios. You can hit em with lurkers, abduct them, neural them. locust wave. Its a common strat for zergs if they kill enough tanks they mass roaches for a quick attack to over run the thors before tanks are remade. Basically any zerg ground unit not a baneling trades evenly with thors.
Just give it push priority

I’d be down for some ultralisk changes.
Although I feel currently more urgent matters are improving the situation of some protoss units. Like the tempest, new chargelots and adepts. I don’t know what to do with them (there are more prepared people to deal with that), but what I do know is that their current situation is not too pretty.

What happened to you?
Lo how the mighty have fallen
His posts have always been a waste of time. Although this one is especially bad since Terrans stay in game against Zerg when they’re like 50% supply down because they have the best comback potential and Zerg is the easiest race to throw a game with.
This is just another example of Wire showing how little he knows about the game and why nobody should take him seriously.
Soo’s unit comp was a steaming pile of crap, but that’s not his fault. Zerg doesn’t have late game units worth making so they stay on roach ravager all game even though it was rendered non viable by the siege tank, liberator, marauder buff and now BC buffs.
Legendary zerg had less mining whole game. He was carried by free units. Until they just didnt work anymore against maxed terran army made to kill them.
But please, complain more.
That whole strategy is made around zerg containing terran. Terran cant move out or he losses. But in this case, terran was patient, reacted perfectly and simply won as better player.
