Why is zerg so easy to play?

This is so easy. They have the best units. The best economy. The best map control. Require 0 micro.

Its not fun when you lose and its like he didnt play better he just plays the better race. Balance the game and fix this race already.

The only time you see zerg lose is when they completely mess up. They can make mistake after mistake and it doesnt matter they get carried by the over powered race.

Well that is because many T still doesn’t know how to split their army against banes. Or P doesn’t know how to harass with adepts enough to hinder the economy.

I do agree that early to mid game Z tend to be easier to play than most races. The counter to this though will be good micro because Z units are too paper to be cost efficient. However, when we go into late game, that’s a different story. Z will need to micro even more in order to match up to end game units against the other 2 races.

The only reason why anyone will claim that Z has the best units is mainly because their production enables them to bring out the precise counter unit to anything the opponent throws at them. But the price Z pays is that they need to be on top of their injects and be careful not to over drone, or else a simple push may cost them the game.

If you’re just sending your units A move, you’re not going to take good trades later on. You definitely have to split into three nice groups and lure the enemy to an open spot where you can take an engagement like that. If you have it set up, sure it’s A move at that point, but it’s still micro.

Vipers are also very fragile and require some micro. I guess the trade off is a bit less micro, but way heavier on macro. If you’re not injecting perfectly, or make a round of drones when you shouldn’t have, it’s game.

Is easy to play because you don’t play the race, play it and you will find that is not that easy.Some part of zerg are easier, other parts not so and can even feel underwhelming.

I do play the race and its my highest mmr race.

According to rankedftw you played only 5 games in total with this race
omegalul

diamond terrans are so bad

Only 5 games played as Zerg (losing 2) and only a 100mmr difference. I have more games with T than that on a single long season and I barely played the race so I’m really rusty with them, rusty enough to claim I’m not even decent with them and claiming balance issues when I lose.Even your number of terran games is low, averaging 3 games per day. With that amount of games is difficult to maintain a good form or improving.

Best units?? Zerg has the worst and the most expensive units of the game.
Best economy??? We don’t have a ultra easy to spam MULA mechanics.
Best map control??? Better than observers and T scans?? Please…

i mean i played the 5 games to get my rating. Because im playing terran this season.

Last season i have above a 70% winrate in both zvp and zvt

i mean all i can say to this post is lol…

Maybe because you were playing on a lower mmr?, rankedftw does not show that, and that’s weird,my profile shows seasons back to 2016.When comparing races,first you must play them on the same way, for example, 1 season 100 games as Z, 100 games as T. I used to be able to compare my races, not anymore since I stopped playing them equally and focused randomly on each one , so when I practiced with some race, the other races became worse.Not sure about you, but for me when I stop playing just a couple of weeks or simply not grinding games with a single race, my skill with that race get lower.
Righ now, even if I play all the races, my skill level is all over the place, I used to be better in the past and withput proper practice, I became a worse player, I even had some nice results against OP races of the past, now being worse and playing on a lower mmr I see clearly my own mistakes,specially on TvP, I used to play a solid style with strong timings, but not anymore and the results are showing.

I’d like to see how you A-move this zerg army in higher leagues. It would be a free win for your opponent.

LOL

Protoss economy is better

https://www.maguro.one/2020/03/iem-in-numbers.html

Pretty sure he cheeses with Zerg every game while pretending he knows how to play the race. He’s a Protoss main who isn’t showing his main account most likely.

Zerg has the worst, but cheapest units.
Zerg macro is BY FAR the hardest, as you actually need to center the camera on each Hatchery whilst doing injects, whereas you don’t even need to look at your base as Terran until you drop mules, where you can just rapid fire all your energy down in less than a second.
Zerg map control is fantastic, but ONLY if you’re ahead. It’s suffocating to play the race from behind, as it really does not have NEARLY the amount of turtle tools as the other races.

Zerg you only need 200+ apm to be good

Maybe, if he says Z is easy is probably because he does not plays mid-lategame, when the things starts becoming hard for zerg.Cheesing, and busting people on two-three base eco and pressing a single key for making units for sure it’s easy. Having to defend several points, doing runbys, keeping the pressure while teching up, controlling the lategame composition…is what makes Z not that easy,everybody can play like noregret with no control groups and never teching to Hive, almost none can play like Serral or Reynor, and of couse no random Z ladder warrior will be able to play like that.

They are not bad, they are pretty good, there just a few of them they are not that good depending whats happening on the game. Roaches starts being really good, but at lategame they are bad.Lurkers are just average units,not really good, terrible.SH requires a lot of supply, sometimes they are efficient, and sometimes you lose the game because you made them. Then:
-Ling,good
-Hidra,good
-Queen,good
-Corruptor, pretty good
-Blord,good
-Viper,really good
-Ling,really good
-Baneling,good
-Ravager,really good
-Infestor,good
-Muta,very good

Its right now probably the hardest macro, but not because of inject, thats easy, you use backspace method and it’s nothing.The difficulty becomes when you must drone safely and enemy is harassing you, doing some all in, timing or stuff and you must have enough eco to stop it, then at lategame is difficult because you need to recreep, inject, morph units, runbys, teching, positioning units,keeping a healthy eco and replenish your army all the time.And a lot of the time you must be aware about incomings attacks, you cant be like toss or T sitting on your bases without doing nothing but massing army and teching or staying at chokes while being almost invulnerable.

Its not about APM, its easy to reach 200 apm as Z, the hardest thing is dronning and harassing while being efficient at trades, knowing when and where to attack,when to drone, when to going for the attack.

Yep thats exactly what i do. Because what i say doesnt fit your narrative so i must not actually play zerg. I just cheese and main protoss and want them nerfed so i can win with protoss more.

Why don’t you want a balance game. Zerg is so broken in macro games its such a joke.

Protoss is ahead in economy until they decide to cut workers. Just because you don’t like the facts doesn’t mean it’s not true.

It makes perfect sense. That’s why your ZvZ winrate is so low, because cheese is standard so you don’t get easy wins.

Your name is also “Probeslol” and you constantly cry about Protoss being weak. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s happening.
