Favorite/Least favorite units for each race?

Holy cow! Our space ships are rotten!! Run away!

Here's a link for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putrefaction
Exactly how will the decomposition of animal proteins cause my very non-organic space ship to shoot me?

Hey guess what? Many metals can be degraded/rusted/dissolved by biological substances. They are essentially rotted.

I define a proper mind control unit as a unit that has a mind controlling ability which is:
1. not lame
2. believable
3. worthwhile

Corruptor may fit #3 but not the other two.

Mmmm, more personal opinion. Instead of the tickle in your vagina, try using logic to make an argument.

You guess wrong about the Viking, but having read the rest of your post I didn't expect much better from you.

So then you're admitting your conclusions have no comparable bases? Lovely.

Seriously, no u.

Go fling your shit elsewhere.

Corruption is not something the zerg do. They infest, they mutate and they kill.

Corruption is often used as a synonym for disease infection. It was more common to use the term that way a few hundred years ago, but people still use it today.

As already mentioned, corruptors don't mind control units (and mind control shouldn't be a zerg specialty anyway). It just kills them and grows stationary attackers on them. They're as zerg-flavored as spore colonies.

The way the corruptor works doesn't seem all that different from the way infestors work in flavor terms.

Both rust and dissolution is very different from rot in both process and result. Are you going for a new personal best in being wrong?

And rusted or dissolved space ships still won't start shooting at me, so that argument was both wrong and stupid.

What's wrong with expressing personal opinion? Isn't this a thread about favorite/least favorite units which is inherently a property of one's opinion?

I don't have a vagina. You continue to be wrong.

So then you're admitting your conclusions have no comparable bases? Lovely.

How on earth are you able to read that from what I wrote? How did "you are wrong" become "I admit my conclusions have no comparable bases"?

Go fling your shit elsewhere.

Ooh, someone's touchy.

The Corruptor doesn't "mind control" anything.
What it does is it disables a flying vessel by overwhelming it with spores that spawn a type of growth that essentially consumes the ship, or chokes out its occupants and combative systems, then uses that vessel as a base to fire from.

In game terms, this is very much a mind control ability. A unit that used to be on your side is now on the enemy's side. That's mind control, however limited it may be.

The corrupting act is the taking over of the ship by way of encroaching all of it with aggressive biomass. It's a very Zerg act. While a pretty simple idea, I think it's one of the best Zerg ideas Blizzard has come up with.

If that is the process works then it's at least a believable ability, though it's still pretty lame in game terms. But that process is commonly referred to as infestastion. Not corruption. Funny how that works, huh.

...except the corrupted unit doesn't have any of the stats or abilities of the original unit. Do you consider Spawn Broodlings to be a mind-control ability?

Exactly what i wanted to say.

In game terms Corruption would be sort of Infestation, but since Infestor already got something like that (and his name...), Corruption fits that perfectly, and in a lot of games you will find Spell that is called Corruption, and description of the spell is sort of Decay, Rot, Disease etc etc...So you are definitely wrong.

Wrong. Rotting is the break down of biological material. Rust and dissolution are the break down of inorganic material.

And rusted or dissolved space ships still won't start shooting at me, so that argument was both wrong and stupid.

If you had been paying attention, which clearly you haven't, the Corruptors attack disables enemy vehicles through spores which grow and consume and disable their inorganic components. These spores grow into full fungi which attack similar to the Spore Crawler. The corrupted units themselves do not attack, its the fungi growing on them that attack.

What's wrong with expressing personal opinion? Isn't this a thread about favorite/least favorite units which is inherently a property of one's opinion?

Personal opinion based on inaccurate and falsified data is wrong. I agree with you it's mind control, but I disagree that it's not "proper," it is, because your standards of

1. not lame
2. believable
3. worthwhile

are bullshit.

I don't have a vagina. You continue to be wrong.

*Offensive material removed*

How on earth are you able to read that from what I wrote? How did "you are wrong" become "I admit my conclusions have no comparable bases"?

Because I'm clearly smarter and better endowed than you. Barring that, because you still haven't logically explained why its bad that the Corruptor has a unique way of killing other units.

Ooh, someone's touchy.

Side effect of having 8 or 9 limbs.

In game terms, this is very much a mind control ability. A unit that used to be on your side is now on the enemy's side. That's mind control, however limited it may be.

I agree with this.

Except the Corruptor does BOTH. And since we can't have two units called the Infestor, this one gets Corruptor.

Why can't we all get along?

Because most people are stupid and a detriment to our species and civilization.

Now now children, calm down.

Agreed. Keep it on-topic.
