biggest thing you're missing is banelings don't do damage to friendly units. that's pretty much the only thing that doesn't completely suck from an opponent's perspective.

you guys know banelings can attack without burrowing first, right? That should revolutionize your zvt play.

More broken, blue flame hellions in WoL pre nerf or widow mines in HotS pre nerf?

And why does terran always get the cool ****?

I'd think bf hellions by a lot.

That elevator play at MLG right before it was nerfed was nasty.

right before this got nerfed is basically when i got into watching sc2. seeing like 25% of TvTs having over 100 workers killed was so sick. i was pretty upset i didnt start playing til post z patch =(

For everyone on here who remembers Deezer, he is playing LoL now. Not only that, but he's actually on a team that has a legit chance at qualifying for LCS.

I won a ZvZ! I won a ZvZ! I out-mutaed somebody and held his ling-bane counters when he realized he couldn't stop them!

are you sure you weren't just better than him?

Seems like not going muta is zvz is always the wrong choice.

I disagree. I don't think the best response if you know you're going to be behind in mutas is to keep making mutas.

I think I agree with this, my point was that he should have lost because the optimal strat zvz is always mutas. If you're behind in mutas and can't compete then you're forced into playing a turtling roach/hydra/infestor + static air defense style which is obv inferior since your 3rd is delayed and you give your opponent complete map control.

I could be wrong but it just seems like if you're not winning the muta battle you should always lose if skill is equal.

Was it really such a close decision between roach-hydra-infestor and mutas in WoL that the changes in HotS have blown it away? If you have a solid roach-hydra-infestor army it's still pretty ****ing hard for mutas to engage that, right? And spores are at least more effective at home than they were in WoL...

I say this as someone who really, really doesn't want to jump on the muta vs muta all day errrrrrday train.

The last two masters zergs I've played, I play nothing but unranked games, have been whiny bitches. The last one accused me of maphacking. Are zergs just that mad???

The answer is, yes.

Most Protosses are so bad that having to maphack to beat a Zerg sounds about right.

What builds are you doing PvZ these days? I basically never lose to FFE but gateway expands have given me trouble. With the mship core I dunno why Toss would FFE anymore.

idk I could be way off. I too am tired of muta v muta every game, but I just don't see a better option.

Leave some infestors at home for fungals and don't **** them up? Which may be impossibly hard now, lol

I almost always FFE into double stargate, then sometimes voids sometimes two oracles into voids. And when all else fails try to get HT's.

And I think, if I knew how to do it, double robo would be strong vs zerg. Like double robo, get a third base, add stargate into tempest.
