Lurkers in TvZ are vicious combo to have. They are basically moving sunkens that could potentially help slow down tank pushes in preparation for guardians. Swarm plays a major role in bw because of lurkers. Would imagine lurker + guardian combo would help prolong the game to a mid game enough to transition into a defiler//ling//lurker build. Ive tested it in a few 1s and granted it wasn't vs amazing players and also im not exactly at the top of my game atm but it seemed to work decently and it didn't feel so 1 sided like TvZ's usually feel. I love that terran is now forced to rush vessel//scans to keep a consistent push.
PvT is such a pain in the ass on orig. Terran basically has to perfectly micro his units to outplay a basic zealot + canon push. Medics really is game changing vs early game protoss. God damn i love medics. You dont even need that many, early game 3-5 medics is ridiculously strong and it helps a ton to slow down zealot + canon pushes so that you have opportunity to transition into tech. Goliath are wonderful and actually useful vs carriers. Only thing that still sucks about this one is P now has corsairs lol which have such a short production and is insanely viable for drops and is pretty cheap to make. I think it's only fair since terran gets quite an improvement from orig to bw with medics introduced to the game.
ZvP lurkers, lurkers, lurkers. They are a wonderful thing, use them, then use them some more.
I don't really care what version of sc you all play on TBH since im not playing this season. Will play next one for sure, been trying to dust off this wall of rust with pubs. Trying to get the mechanics part of the game back, feels a lot slower than i remember. But I think you guys are overlooking how fun BW is and the variety it brings in comparison to orig. Can't imagine myself going back to orig. Lurkers are wayyyy to fun. Medics are FANTASTIC! lol. Stim/movement speed for days.
We've just about seen it all on Orig. Every move, every strat, every build. BW brings a bunch of new tools to the table that can really make observing games much more entertaining if the person feels cocky enough to use them. The good thing about fastest is we have the luxury to use these units freely where as low money players are limited to a set of strats because some units are to expensive and unrealistic to play with on such limited resources.
Dang.. i miss talking about sc
I'm hella nerd.
Anyways, to each their own. Again, I'm not playing this season so it doesn't matter what i say but the points i make are interesting and well... it's starcraft forum.
