Who beats who?

[Alzarath]

I'd like people to list off what units beat other races units in cost comparison.
For instance, I have discovered that yes, 1 zealot can kill 3 lings, but at what price? Zealots cost 100 while lings only cost 25. So overally, the Zergs win economically with that. How about Zealots vs 2 rines? anyone know the victor in that? What other combos are there? Give examples

Actually 3 lings kill 1 zealot unless the zealot has +1 damage upgrade... But in larger numbers zealots will gain an egde (which never happens anyways).

I don't really get the point of this. It doesn't consider context or micro, so I'm afraid these comparisons aren't of much use...

They do? I've tested numerous times and my Zealot always came out on top

A zealot would kill 2 marines... if the marines weren't microed properly.

The game just can't be reduced to simple mathematical comparisons like this.

Obviously, but I'm looking for simple mathematical comparisons ;P

That's right, I just quoted myself.

This thread reminds me of Metzen bringing up Pokemon as one of the many shared culture ingredients that possibly went into StarCraft...
