Thread: Strenghth of the swarm ヘ(^_^ヘ)

  1. #1

    Default Strenghth of the swarm ヘ(^_^ヘ)

    So, after all the videos that have been released/leaked that have the Zerg in them, and looking at their stats and their units, how do you currently feel about the strength of the Zerg race?

    Personally, I think that the Zerg are looking good and have a lot off potentiall, but then again i think that the Zerg are the most neglected race by Blizzard, and it will be a challenge to start winning and getting used to them.

    So vote now, or leave a response

    If it was in SC1, i would agree, but now that turtleing has been nearly wiped out of the horizon. (too much mobility to have any kind of advantage in turtling) I seriously think that Zerg will be a very dangerous Tier 1 opponent. We didn't really see "good" players as Zerg yet. In 3 Battle Report, it remained pretty much to Tier 1 units.

    I am not sure of what will Tier2/3 games will look for zergs. But with the Mutalisk and Ultralisk, I am Zerg are going to be badass

    They seem underpowered to me, but than again we've only seen SC2 newbies play them, even thou they are probably pretty good in SC2 now.

    Id like to see David Kim play Zerg vs some1 else.

    Anyways I'm curious how powerful the lurkers are, since they are tier 3 last time i checked.
    Otherwise they just don't seem very interesting, in all the games I've seen zerg played its the same units over and over; zerglings and roaches. I'd like to see mutalisks, lurkers, guardians and more of ultralisks.

    I don't know... All their good units are back (cept scourges and defilers) so they should be easy to use for all verterans but that makes them pretty boring...

    Zerg are pretty meh to me. They don't look like much fun to play (except for the banelings), and they certainly seem underwhelming compared to the other two races.

    They look like the best race so far. Zerg then protoss then terrans. Terrans look like poopy.

    It's funny how people are with gauging things. A lot of people spoke out against Neural Parasite, saying that it was "just" Mind Control on a Zerg unit. Until BR3 came out and people actually got it in their heads how awesome an ability it is.

    Until you actually see Nydus Worms, Overseers with Transfusion, and various other Zerg abilities in practical use, I don't think this poll means anything.

    Isn't Nydus Worm gone?

    I don't think we've seen Zerglings used well enough in mass to do a good job. I mean do you guys see HOW fast they move on creep? I personally don't think the strategies have evolved to use Zerg to the max. Haven't even see any mixture of units besides Lings/Roaches to make a discern opinion on their effectiveness.
