GUYS REALLY… STOP COMPARING CERTAIN UNITS TO DIFFERENT UNITS… You forgot that zerg does have better spellcasters support which turn fights into their favor and a-move units. Yeah TANK DOES COUNTER LURKER but it doesn’t counter lurker in some kind of composition. AND COMPOSITIONS WIN THE GAMES NOT SINGLE KIND OF UNITS! For example pure mass BC doesn’t win the game unless you are complete idiot like one guy on the forum spaming the same threads everyday. Zerg just all go in, supported by some stupid zerg spells tanks focusing things randomly and then lurkers just burrow and 200vs200 supply ends in 100vs0 in zerg favor meanwhile zerg can still remax… That’s how it looks like.
And when you compare units atleast do it correctly:
I told you before that ghosts DOESN’T counter lurkers anymore due to lurker range buff. They have the same range as ghost spell snipe “Q” ability so they can’t do it anymore. So how does ghosts counter lurkers? EMP? basic attacks? Or maybe NUKE?!
Oh, look at me. I’m Stretch aka Shahzad. I’m a zerg player with 90% win ratio in masters and I still complain because I’m so awesome with macro. I’m pretty sure I would have 100% but these bad Terrans are ruining my ride!
snipe - single target spell which can be easily denied
emp - anti spellcaster ONLY
anti armor missile - 0 dmg spell which only reduce the units armor
interference matrix - does it even works VS zerg? anyway still useless, emp would do better job because interference matrix disables just ONE unit
auto turret - no comments there… but if you really want answer: worse than infested terran in every single way, can’t move, low dps, dying in 5 around seconds (atleast infested terran was deleted FIRST TIME I CAN SAY THANK YOU BALANCE TEAM, few more zerg free units to go like swarm hosts locusts and we actually can have some fun)
Now compare this to zerg spells:
viper parasitic bomb - destroys whole air
viper abduct - literally kills any unit in the game by grabbing it into your army (except zerg ultralisks, zerg imba in zvz hehe)
infestor new spell - not yet imbalanced but just give it some time before zerg will realize how to finally use it properly or when balance team will decide to buff it to the sky because of zerg tears on the forum
*swarm host - it’s kinda spellcaster, I mean it can’t attack but casts free units on you and doesn’t even require energy so if we count this unit as a spellcaster then you have most OP spellcaster in the game.
I’m glad I answered all of your questions. Any more?
Viper Parasitic bomb - Easily split against and only does 80 damage
Viper abduct - Take one unit and brings it to the Viper
Now compare to Terran spells
Snipe - 10 range and does 170 damage after a 1.5 second channel for 50 energy
EMP - Shuts down all enemy spell casters and reveals cloaked enemies
Anti Armor Missile - 3 less defense
Interference matrix - Shuts down 1 unit for an entire fight
Parasitic bomb is good, but it is easily countered by being good at the game. Snipe on the other hand kills most units with only energy as a cost. EMP also gets an upgrade which increases the area of effect.
Abduct is good, but Interference Matrix is better. Interference matrix doesn’t even need a unit to do the rest of the job for the raven.
If it makes you feel any better, ZvT has usually been my best matchup for years, but I’ve struggled vs protoss for a long time now. But you dont see me whining about toss do you? Just saying…
This might be true because TvZ WAS also my favourite matchup until the buffed ultralisk armor and added lurkers to the game. Bio was fun to play in HOTS before immortal to bio ultralisks or lurkers that counter bio and when lucky can kill like 40 marines instantly. Now it’s underperforming kinda “all-in” style.
They are stronger than wol and hots ultras but they are trash - ok. Typical zerg strategy to buff units. Soon: “balance team: WE BUFF ULTRAS BECAUSE THEY COUNTER EVERYTHING EXCEPT MECH!”
You are obviously talking about the 20 or more ignorant whine threads from crybaby zerg players about a terran unit in the past 2 weeks. A unit that already just got nerfed.
