Queens are an S-teir unit. Early defense, injects, transfuse, cheap, anti-air, tanky. If you’re unsure how good they are watch how many of them the top zerg players build. Any buffs to queens would ruin the game. They were actually nerfed not too long ago to reduce the power of queen walks.
It sounds to me like you’re not using them well, which is understandable since they take a lot of skill to use really well. Try watching some guides, and keep practicing… you’ll get there!
See main complaint was Protoss ground was not good this lie that found it self in community since most Protoss would build stalker and voids. Whitch some reason Protoss refuse build zealots that destroy queens.
Plus transfuse nerf make them useless against Terran units, before nerf queens can semi fight stim marines.
Obviously queens are not the best at everything otherwise just mass queen to win. But they’re just so good that you’ve got to be a bad player to think they’re weak and need a buff.
And they’re not only good defensively in the early game, but all the way through. Just watch some pros use them to keep late game units & buildings alive, take down air, tank, and much more.
There is no defined objective criteria for what s tier means does it mean required or the best to mass etc. no one has explained that so its a worthless term in this context. Zerg is designed to need queens as a defensive mechanic so you try and win with 0 queens and your goign to have a bad time inject is mandatory even at low levels of play. They are not intended to counter heavy air units like carrier or BCS your supposed to make corruptors to counter those units. The problem and the reason queens feel weak to you now is they balance this game around the best players instead of championing fun which makes any unit that has a high skill cap hero type units with abilities under powered foe the average user. Queens may indeed be under powered in your hands but since they decided they wanted this to be a high skill cap esport and not a fun game you have to deal with the balance of queens being with them in the hands of someone like serral. In your league they should be used to inject and a few extra to spread creep i would avoid using them in large numbers and trying to transfuse things that’s likely never going to be relevant to you. TLDR they are not really meant as a fighting unit they are a macro unit with mandatory defensive aspects and they will always feel week in your hands as they don’t balance this game with casual gamers in mind which is why its dead. Make corruptors for AA use lings to kill marines good luck.
I would agree that allowing Bc to teleport across the map at 4 minutes was a poor design choice but they lowered mineral patches to 18 and gave people more starting workers because much like chess it wasn’t as fun to watch as an esport since it started slow which is why you see way more blitz than classical now in chess. However serral doesn’t lose to these rushes and they don’t balance the game around you so that’s irrelevant. The best way for you as a silver player to stop them from doing a 4:30 capital ship style rush as silver zerg is to all in them at the 3-4 minute mark before they can attack you with them at all. that’s the easiest and least micro intensive counter to this style of play
So you’ve just confirmed you are a troll. The video linked above is pros confirming queens are really good. You can keep arguing that Scarlett, uThermal, & Harstem are wrong, but it only proves how bad you are at 1v1. I bet we’ll never see one of your replays since you wouldn’t want to show just how bad your build order and queen usage is.
Why not submit a replay to IODIS about how OC is IMBA?
Video only person played Zerg scarlet seemed really unsure and she was one started multiple queens.
They said better then ghost how in hell u come with that.
Macro is dumb concept taking actual pop that can’t defend well add extra step vs just adding it on hatch. Giving a real unit. Queens need buff dps especially they post to be defending.
They are used doesn’t mean good they bearly can defend they’ll better before nerfs
