I think the first patch pretty much leveled out the playing field. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 16/10/2010 11:57:31 PM
I don't think Zerg is the weakest race anymore. It probably was when the game was first released, but nerfs to Terran and Protoss and some buffs in recent patches have brought them up to par or better. What makes you say Zerg is the weakest race? Some of the best/most successful players play Zerg.

Weakest wasn't really the right word, but I was very drunk at the time.

Hmm, I see you don't like void rays I don't know whats so hard about them. Just get some queens and you're fine. Unless you let them get 4 or more, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I haven't had trouble with void rays for a long time now, since hydras slaughter them, but I haven't gotten over my initial frustration and hatred. Three void rays will wreck new Zerg players.

And roaches are good against cannons. They have so much hp. It takes a cannon like 8 shots to kill a roach. A roach has about 75% the hp and attack of a cannon (and 1 armor for the roach vs 0 for the cannon) costs less resources, and takes half as long to build a roach as it does for a cannon.

The vespene adds up more than you'd think with roaches, though.

Yes...? They're a good response to mass colossi as well.

True; wasn't thinking about colossi.

I like playing Random. My race strength/comfort is Protoss>Zerg>Terran. I just like Protoss because of the lore. I think Zerg have the worst lore lol. Terrible reason, I know, but what can I say.

Yeah there aren't as many Zerg players. I think what throws some people off is that the macro-style is so different from Terran and Protoss, as is the game-plan.

This is definitely the biggest reason, and why I'm so wretched at Terran and Protoss

This is true. I play team games pretty much exclusively. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/10/2010 07:07:20 AM 213 Views
Balancing the least played and weakest race doesn't make it the best. Ghavrel - 16/10/2010 07:06:43 AM 507 Views

No joke... Jeordam - 18/10/2010 06:03:51 PM 468 Views
Exactly. And if you get roaches, your midgame gets mad delayed. Ghavrel - 18/10/2010 06:28:28 PM 443 Views
Getting a queen....(here's my typical build order) Jeordam - 18/10/2010 08:25:17 PM 468 Views

I've had trouble getting used to Roaches since my return to 1v1. Fanatic-Templar - 19/10/2010 03:31:00 AM 435 Views
Queens CAN work... but you have to do awesome micro, and they're better at defense beetnemesis - 18/10/2010 05:41:39 AM 452 Views
I've found myself enjoying the Zerg, and not using Voids when I go Toss anyway, so... Zalis - 17/10/2010 02:59:40 PM 480 Views
