  • 5 Siege is a lot of brute force to take on with such a poor composed army.

    Had you found a way to deal with the tanks, you would of been perfectly fine.

  • use 5 infestors to controll the tanks. They can move while burrowed (as can your roaches,with an upgrade) so use this to your avantage make sure to hot key them for easy access.

  • You had a pretty poorly composed army going up against the enemy, especially with all those hellions to counter your lings. Don't forget, mass zerglings can sometimes work against you, like blocking your ultralisks from being able to get close and do any damage.

  • Yeah it seriously looks like zerg is weakest atm. Then in the middle comes protoss and at the top is Terran. I dont play the game but ive seen prolly like 500 videos on youtube last months. Just change to play Terran and use this fact to your advantage. Blizz dont know how to balance it out or they just want terran to be strongest im not sure.

  • On the contrary, blizzard does know how to balance pretty well, just look at starcraft 1. It takes time for balance, hence, the beta. Also, terran is in no way the strongest. A look at diamond/plat level play will show that terrans don't actually win that much, or win just about as much as any other race. Unless you accuse some of the best terran players around of not understanding the race,

    I'm pretty happy with the current level of balance, the only thing i would wish for was for the zerg to get more choices and variety in offensive units. Currently, in terms of units that can actually attack, not counting the queen since she isnt really mobile, zerg are short of afew units compared to the other races.

  • first you attack a stone with scisors you have to investigate the enemy before one attack, terran have all the exactly counter unit for your army ditribution, hellion vs zerling, tank vs hidras, and marunders vs roaches,

    zerg are great at early game roaches and baneling can destroy almost anything in the beggining but i really feel unbalences with zerg in long games zerg land unit in Starcraft1 survive thanks to defiler swarm spell and mutalisk were better with a standar attack that afects all tipe of armors

  • You are pretty mistaken, zergs do hold their own in long games. The counters you listed also cannot be taken into consideration. Oh look, using the exact same units, hydras vs hellions, burrowed roaches vs tanks, zerglins also can swarm tanks and roaches also hold their own vs hellions to which of course, zergs have many more units that can be used to counter. Its really a matter of countering your enemy and not letting him counter you.

  • I'd say the only problem Zerg have is early game. They can't deal with mass spam as well as they should. Zerg get incrementally more powerful as the game goes on, and if it reaches that point, will almost surely dominate super late game.

  • The power of Zerg's unit is its count-more zergs=more winsXD
    So that Zergs are weak in some ways.

    ALL HAIL OVERMIND!
