Zergling: These units have been seriously crippled. Adrenal Glands needs to be buffed big time, Zerglings quickly become inadequate right now.

I have to disagree with this though. Zerglings are good against basically any unit (except maybe the helion) if you can flank them and get a surround. Zerglings will destroy siege tanks, Thors, etc. really quickly.


If you've got SCVs auto-repairing the Thor, then the Zerglings have to manually shoot them down before they can hope to achieve anything, and Siege Tanks kill Zerglings in droves until the next patch. Sure, if they're by themselves they'll get surrounded and killed by the Zerglings, but why would they be by themselves? For Terran, Marines, Hellions or Reapers can render Zerglings largely ineffective, and those are pretty cheap units to mass.

Drop banelings on infantry and drop zerglings on the tanks and thors. That solves the problem of getting in range :D


Isn't flying a bunch of full Overlords into range of Thors and Marines suicidal?

I don't actually play as Zerg, so I might be completely lost but that sounds very risky :P.

Have you seen the patch notes for the upcoming 1.1? Zalis - 31/08/2010 02:15:43 PM 900 Views
I swear, I posted a pretty lengthy reply, but it's gone now *NM* BlackAdder - 31/08/2010 07:59:01 PM 477 Views

Agreed on the queen. The corruptor remains awful. Ghavrel - 31/08/2010 09:25:08 PM 625 Views
I generally agree BlackAdder - 31/08/2010 10:44:20 PM 717 Views

I don't play as Zerg either, but I've seen it done effectively. Check out this video BlackAdder - 01/09/2010 03:13:51 AM 795 Views
That was a great move! Fanatic-Templar - 01/09/2010 03:24:46 AM 872 Views
Yeah the roaches made a huge difference BlackAdder - 01/09/2010 07:42:46 AM 757 Views
I'm only familiar with Zerg and what annoys me as Zerg, SO. Ghavrel - 31/08/2010 10:12:48 PM 757 Views
Tried Zerg once or twice in coop games last week. Any advice for a Zerg noob? Zalis - 31/08/2010 10:36:28 PM 663 Views
Queen per hatchery. Constant spawn larvae. Expand creep constantly. Ghavrel - 01/09/2010 07:53:27 AM 702 Views
The thing about the Zerg in Starcraft 2, is that they're a very reactionary race. Variant - 02/09/2010 09:12:16 AM 836 Views
Thanks for both replies. The Queens + larvae help tremendously. I'll work on the rest. Zalis - 02/09/2010 08:41:24 PM 701 Views
Have you experienced the new Reaper based openings? Fanatic-Templar - 01/09/2010 02:07:40 AM 678 Views

Also, wraiths are worse than useless BlackAdder - 31/08/2010 10:49:17 PM 678 Views
I really only play the campaigns in single player mode, so my experience might be a little different Cannoli - 01/09/2010 12:54:07 AM 896 Views
Marauder... expensive? Variant - 02/09/2010 04:30:47 AM 750 Views
Re: Marauder... expensive? BlackAdder - 02/09/2010 05:21:22 AM 610 Views
Well, we've got Force Field, Hallucinate, Psi Storm and Feedback, so I'm not complaining . Fanatic-Templar - 02/09/2010 07:04:39 AM 641 Views
They're handy in team games. Not so much in 1v1. Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 07:35:10 AM 697 Views
In regards to Infested Terrans Variant - 02/09/2010 07:48:36 AM 781 Views
It's slow as all hell. Fanatic-Templar - 02/09/2010 08:02:51 AM 748 Views
It depends... Variant - 02/09/2010 08:34:53 AM 738 Views
The Raven is excellent, but in my opinion it's really expensive. Variant - 02/09/2010 07:31:38 AM 765 Views
Yeah, the ability to do all that while burrowed is really great. BlackAdder - 02/09/2010 07:42:22 AM 664 Views
You can? Crap. In that case, I need to start using it. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 09:33:17 PM 310 Views
Yes... press the hotkey for burrow and then the key for parasite (very quickly, but in that order) BlackAdder - 03/09/2010 03:39:38 AM 652 Views
