I'll be making a new one I guess, and my name will be Fake ID.

Hate this forced social bullshit.

Also 4 gate all in maybe the hardest thing ive ever faced as zerg, i would love some peoples help on trying to beat it, currently if i scout the cyber and 2 gates i go into an expansion, sunk up and mass roach/lings and only once in the last 4 games have i come close to beating it (poor crawler placement let me down otherwise i would have got the pylon, no reinforcements and i had ov drop ready). Other than being slightly lucky what is the formula? Should i cut lings and focus on roach/hydra? Should i stick to 1 base?

I have the same problem, lost to this twice yesterday. I went mass roach into hydra and stood no chance. It never helps when you spawn right next to the damn guy.

Indeed, also teching up just isnt viable, mutas can delay the push, but generally speaking 1 base roach can be fended by gateway units, and by the time they are out in any significant numbers ive found most protoss will be prepared to deal with them. I know its beatable i just need a more robust build to maximisie army composition and defence. The good thing about the push is it is all in, you defend it, usually with an expansion, and its gg right there, the downside is obviously its usually very very powerful.

it wasn't clear though if he was, a lot of people have this opinion believe it or not. I think it stems from auto resource gathering based on capture points like in DoW2 and maybe CoH.

I find it amazing that people prefer that system to resource gathering. It just makes too much more sense to gather resources to pay for things rather than control some area that magically makes you able to get that grunt sitting over there eating some cheese to come join the effing fight.

it's not. It allows more choice so you can immediately scout if that's your thing. The two clicks it takes to accomplish this is so not worth bitching about because it's 2 out of 50 billion that will be made by the end of the match. If someone has a problem with those two clicks why are they playing such an an otherwise click heavy game?

To be fair, if workers were automatically set to gather at the beginning of a match, it's not like you still couldn't immediately scout.

id like it if they were instantly assigned to 6 patches from the start. i dislike having to be on the draw for when the loading bar is over.

you all sound lazy. this game is about timing and focus and whatnot. i like having to set the probes to gather, its almost a mini game with myself since i like to manually separate them as best as i can.

The problem I have with it is that since I play random I have to click ASD really quickly to start a unit, then move my workers, and sometimes ASD doesn't work so it kinda screws me up

Yeaaah all the Terran (and protoss) nerfs got pulled out... yet the zerg nerfs stayed :lol

ZvT is the most unbalanced shit right now.

I have noticed Blizzard just doesn't buff Zerg unless they also nerf Zerg somewhere else...

When ever there is a buff...there is a nerf somewhere...and in most cases the nerf is not worth the buff elsewhere.

Also whilst Terran and Protoss get "build time" and "cost" decreases every one or two patches, Zerg have kept all original "build times" and there has been only been only 1 not 2, 3 or 4 but 1 cost decreasing change in all 17 patches for Zerg and that is Spore Crawler from 100 to 75 minerals. There has been no other build time decrease. This didn't come without increased root time from 6 to 12 seconds though. :lol

Terran and Protoss have had no many build time and cost decreases I'm no longer surprised when I see the changes announced.

I'm also pretty certain every single Zerg unit has been nerfed from what it was from patch 1 onwards...not a single zerg unit has come out better then it was prior. Whilst I look at Terran and Protoss and I can actually see some units have been improved dramtically. Thors, Tanks, Banshee, Stalker, Photon Cannons, Void-Ray, Hellion, Archon, Phoenix are all better off now then when we first got into beta. Zerg has not a single unit that has survived being made much worse off.

Zerg is not "bad" or anything, but at this moment, needs probably the most effort to control successfully. Fast expanding is zerg's biggest edge against toss and terran, and at the moment it's pretty hard. The zealot warp-in, bunker/barracks build time increase helped this out, but now we are back to the dark days.

I'm not abandoning zerg, but damn it's tough to win in 1v1. Unless you play 1-base roach or something which gets stale pretty fast.

Neural parasite got nerfed to infinity. It's still useless, but so much harder to use.
Baneling morph cancel got more expensive.

Infestor? :lol

HP; Decreased
Fungal Growth damage; Decreased
Neural Parasite was made an upgrade and energy cost increased.

Banelings do less damage to light then they use to...which goes back to what I said they buff and nerf...and if you cancel them you re-coup less.

Overseer is the unit that Blizzard has used to give throw away casting spells because they have noi idea what purpose they have other then giving vision...:lol

My favorite part of all the zerg reaming is a D9D a couple days ago where he totally marked out over an infestor getting fungal off on a pack of grounded vikings with lings running in nearby.

Only for the vikings to just lift off covered in goop and chill out for 2-3 seconds before flying away.
