This. It is the same as they go for Roaches cause of your Zealots. You are forcing them to go Roaches, if you switch to mass Stalkers, they would switch to mass Zerglings.Quote:

Read notes to know how was this calculated, specially for "Life per spent resource".Code:Roach Stalker Notes
Life per spent resource 1.9/m 5.8/g 1.28/m 3.2/g The amount of life you get per 1 mineral/gas spent (life divided by resource).
Cost of Armor 37.5m 12.5g 125m 50g The amount of resources you pay for every point of Armor (resource divided by Armor)
Cost of Dmg vs Armored 4.68m 1.56g 8.9m 3.57g The amount of resources you pay for every point of Dmg
Cost of Dmg vs non-Armored 4.68m 1.56g 12.5m 5g The amount of resources you pay for every point of Dmg
Cost of Range 25m 8.33g 20.8m 8.33g The amount of resources you pay for every point of Range
Yes they will beat Stalkers if you don't micro at all. First of all, Stalkers can focus attack Roaches due to superior Range, and Blink is better than Burrow for micro, also Stalkers can hit and run or even kite Roaches due to 2x their range and them being a lot faster than Roaches. The only time I saw Roaches beating Stalkers was when they were really badly outnumbered. Problem is no one even tried a mass Stalkers vs. Roaches, whenever Protoss see Roaches he rush for Immortals.Quote:

And yes, It gets hairy...
If Protoss doesn't let you control the pace against Zerg, play as Terran against Zerg.
Best advice in the thread.

I do not play Terran.
Ever. For any reason.
Its not an option or a solution.

That's the problem. They're boring. Their story is standard human greed and their multiplayer gameplay is trite.Quote:
