Yeah i know alot and Blizzard saying that they are taking their time to balance all 3 races but watching the zerg kinda change my mind. i still think it kinda balanced but look at the Terrans sepcial unit the big one how it turns around slowly and look at that compared to a mothership. but i dont care coz PROTOSS FTW!!! mothership owns all. wat was the Zerg special unit coz they all looked powerful than everything else..?
the queen is their special unit. While the MS is an offensive unit, the queen specializes in defence with here ability to make sunkerns, spores, and poison creep.
Just because each team doesn't have one superesque unit, it doesn't mean that they're unbalanced or that one is overpowered. All teams have huge units, the Protoss have the Mothership and Carrier, the Terran have the Thor and Battlecruiser, the Zerg have the Queen and Ultralisk, but they're not necessarily the things that balance each other out. There's also the cost and supply required to produce each of them, and there are also all the other units in the game, large or small, and that's not to mention that Protoss players can only get one Mothership.
*Warning, tumor in the OPs brain detected* Anyways, Blizzard will balance it. I dont think mothership will be used all that often.
I look at the MS as a powerful arbiter: it has its uses, but isn't best kept on the frontline. The queen is solely for defense as all it's abilities center around the zerg's entire base defense. The current thor is the terrans main GtA unit, lots of life, and a decent splash effect.
Mothership isn't an offensive unit btw, they moved it exclusivly to support. Right now its like a giant Phase Prism. Wich I find stupid as its like the Viking and Thor comparison. It seems lizzard really wants to keep hold of these big units, I'd go Phase Prismsand Vikings anyday over the Mothership and Thor. Thor is in a bad spot right now, the majority dislike the unit, and my reaons are due to the fact a huge mech is GtA, why have a huge, screen cluttering, messy mech as GtA when we have Vikings for the primary Anti-air. But then they'd have to balance out the strong AtA Phoenix which is probably what they're trying to do with the Thor which is why I've proposed many times they should put the Jackal as GtA with some kind of long range Valky-type attack, with a bit more precision. It does not make sense for a slow mech too become GtA as air units are fast enough to outmanouver it, and its ground attack is quite redundant as we have the longer range and much stronger Crucio Tanks. I say theres either two options with this unit, scrap or returned to its former self when it had lots of hitpoints, very slow and built from SCV with a new ability for its back cannons. As for the Queen, that is defensive but of course it can be used to support battles and being offense too the enemy when used carefully such as creating Sunkuns on creep layed out by an Overlord/seer as it is an important unit to keep alive.
hey itaxhegaxor is correct,even in starcraft1,the zerg barely got that strong units.but they are very efficient in Tactic "Rush Opponent" only unit that was realy strong to zerg was the ultralisk,but no air strong allot. its like this? HUman:specializes in ship design,lacks in weapon design kal zul:specializes in most powerful ships but with extreme costs,high upkeep and extremly low income.and very very non flexible ships tradilaon:specializes in super income,weak ships and a bit more expensive ships then human. just like that.just an example lol.
i kno. all units r good and bad. they al hav weaknesses but that zerg vid kinda owned. but yet protoss own too. im not sure about humans i wasnt REALLY impressed. i liked the supply depo coz it goes underground and the command centre holds scv to get away and make a new base. but not very interested. but anyways. i like protoss.
Zerg = speed + numbers Terran = balace + tech. Protoss = Strength + Toughness if you take that factor, should be easy enuf to balance
