Most Hated Zerg Unit

[Fenix]

Which strain should be removed from the Zerg gene pool?

[iBliss]

i never use scourges, cuz I always forget about them. I usually just go with devourers.

[Bumbaloe]

I don't like zerglings. I always, ALWAYS get zergling rushed when I'm not playing with people I know in real life.

[mc2]

I barely rarely ever use defiler

mutalisks r way too weak
ultralisks r weak for its cost

[10-Neon]

Ultralisks: if you have the money to make a decent number of Ultralisks, you're probably better off spending it on something else. Infested Terrans follow, not because I don't like them (in my opinion, if you've managed to get Infested Terrans, you're having a good game no matter what the eventual outcome), but because you can only get them when there is a Terran player in the game, and one dumb/weak enough to let you make off with one of their Command Centers.

[mc2]

some terran players have their new expansions poorly defended and i can easily send my lings over and get a queen to infest it, then right away pump out infested terrans to take out any troops he/she's sending...........

[orphean]

Queens for their infestation ability. UGH. I hate that.

[PainKiller]

A big group of well microed Mutalisks!! :-\

[SpoonGuard]

Defiler/Ling for surprise losses on Toss bases out of nowhere. Defiler keeps swarming, and eating lings to keep it up. Photon cannons, scouts, carriers, dragoons, all do nothin.

[PainKiller]

Zealots, Archons, DT, HT and DA ;D

Zealots, Archons, DT, HT and DA ;D


Ahem. Topic?

:o

They are cheap and super useful in groups.

[Fenix]

No joke. They pwn buildings too close together.

Just told SpoonGuard hoe to counter ;)

Emphasis ftw.

[mc2]

defiler are definitely annoying if using protoss because i can't repair the structures, and it's an eye sore with those blue fires

[Whatsifsowhatsit]

Well, the Defiler is definitely annoying, I agree, and it's the second most annoying for me, Queen being third... especially how comps use them omg... anyway, first is Guardian for me... cause I tend to not have too much anti-air and especially not something that can reach them easily... 'sides they do lotsa damage... or well, kinda.

I use them in large groups with Ultra's and Hydra's when I'm Zerg, most of the time...

[Jistyr]

I had to go with the Devourer. It really doesn't pack enough punch for its extremely slow attack rate.

I just don't understand why so many people dislike the Defiler, I use it just about every game. Its Dark Swarm is to die for!

[Whatsifsowhatsit]

Once again, the difference between disliking for yourself and dreading with the enemy... most people see this thread as meaning 'dreading with the enemy'... so they all pick Defiler.

You aren't supposed to use Devourers as primary attack units. You use them to enhance Mutalisks. Mutalisks attacking groups of spored units do scout-level damage.

[Jistyr]

I thought we were talking about a single unit here! :P

[10-Neon]

Oh, if it's single units then I'd say I hate the Larva most. It has a lot of armor, but it doesn't do much but wiggle around. I'd take a Devourer over a Larva any day. :P

[starcraft2iscoming]

I rarly see infested terrans in Starcraft. Mostly because its hard, and u dont need them TOO much. But when they use them againt me, either a siege tank kills them, or BOOM goes my command center alonge with my supley depots. But when i use them on my enemys... ;D

[Fallrider]

An Ultralisk with help annoys the hell out of me and cuts through my Marines like butter.

[starcraft2iscoming]

i hear ya.

[Whatsifsowhatsit]

Oh, if it's single units then I'd say I hate the Larva most. It has a lot of armor, but it doesn't do much but wiggle around. I'd take a Devourer over a Larva any day. :P


Yeah but it has the morph ability, causing it to become all sorts of useful creatures for the right cost! Or doesn't that count either? It's still the same unit right? xD

[10-Neon]

You need buildings to morph into anything other than a Drone or an Overlord.

[Whatsifsowhatsit]

You need buildings to morph into anything other than a Drone or an Overlord.


Oohh...right... caught me there =P

[starcraft2iscoming]

Larva should be the most loved Zerg creature not hated! :P

[overmind]

the thing that pissed me off is larva can't move.
the most annoying zerg creature is the overlord they are big slow balloons that just sit there when you have them and scramble all around the place when the enemy has them!(singleplayer)

[starcraft2iscoming]

Once you get a Zerg Lair and then upgrade all the things for the Overlord, they become a favorite unit from transporting, to fast scanning detector units. They are the reason that Zerg is hard to do a succesful nuke.

[mc2]

True I can hardly do a successful nuke on zerg bases because overlords are just flying everywhere. They also have 200 HP meaning they are quite tough for a transport + detector.

[Zombine]

i got to say i dislike the nydus canal quite alot, because i have a tendency to get surprised rushed.

im going to hate the nydus worm...

[Blackmistres]

i cant say i dislike any unit i love them all that is until it s used against me :P

[Ghost]

Well I play terran, so the defilers plague wrecks me everytime, I hate seing my supply depos go into the red zone cuz of plague and explode by themselves before I can get a SCV to repair them. I hate it that players always find a way to get a defiler past my blockades, barricades, chokeholds and patrols... How do they do it??

[Zeratul]

Defilers own, why do so many people hate it?! Dark swarm AND plague are both unique spells that the defiler does + then it has consume which only infested Duran has otherwise.
Course I understand its a pain to have them used against you, makes a cannon defense almost useless for example.

[AvatarTM]

Yeah, the zerg overlord is slow at first but, just upgrade it and your done. secondly, think, why would singleplayer have em moving around? Simple, to detect stealth unites or stuff like that.

To get back on the topic, i'll say the Devourer, annoying thing that can ruin and feet. yeah its acid spores effect.. ouch.

[zeratul11]

queen. they dont look like one.

they look ugly and scary. looks like a female gremlin.

why do you hate ultralisks? they are just cute big pets. and they are zerg coolest unit. ;)

[AvatarTM]

queen. they dont look like one.

Ultralisks are walking tanks damit..lol

[Sinbues]

I hated the Infested Terran God they got annyoing they killed everything i had jesus but if you were protoss you stood a chance but if ur Terran ur dead meat pal

[Itsmyship]

I would say the most pointless one out there is the Devourer...sure they got acid spores, but it takes them like 5 minutes per attack, therefore it seems like an almost useless air unit....eh, what do i know though, I'm a terran, i just own with my wraiths, cruisers, and valkyries ;D

[PowerkickasS]

damn broodling isnt on there
i dont like the infested terran cause it speaks english :O

[Light]

when i play toss, i HATE the defiler, but when terran, i hate having queen broodlings hitting my tanks, so i vote queen...

[FurryLover]

oh how i hate guardians with their long range attacks.

[UchihaItachi0129]

queens. 4 words Broodlings, Parasite, Infest, Ensare. i mean how much worse could it get. the queen is almost as destuctive as the science vessel maybe even more so.

[JBL]

I voted devorer because I never used them...

[UchihaItachi0129]

I voted devorer because I never used them...

lol that's not what the poll meant though XD oh well i guess it kinda counts XD

yeah I figured it.. but.. that's really the unit i hate the most..

[UchihaItachi0129]

lol then nevermind XD

[Shockwave]

Aaargh! Zerglings! Rush ownage!

Lol.

[UchihaItachi0129]

lol just use a firebat or 2 XP, counter it with your own, or zealot micro. all races can counter it if you're at the same level as the person who's rushing you

[mc2]

Zergling rushes are very easy to deal with.

If you are Terran, you need strategically placed siege tanks and goliaths and bunkers. Usually the tanks would incinerate most of the lings before that even reach any of your units. Bunkers and goliaths are just to ensure that if they do reach your units, they can kill them easily to avoid your own tank's splash fire.

If your are Protoss, a mass wall of photon cannon can actually work pretty well if there's ONLY zerglings coming. otherwise Archons would be the best answer. An upgraded archon can kill multiple un-upgraded zergling in one hit with the splash psionic shockwave. And if you're good at microing, the High Templar's psionic storm is always good at countering zergling rushes. Also zealots are good too.

If you are using Zerg, don't trust sunken colony, they are crap. You need mass hydralisks with strategically placed lurkers. Even better if you have guardians. Also queen's ensnare and defiler's plague is also good boost if you are good at microing

[Heretic666)GC(]

Well, my least favorite unit depends on which side Im on.

If I am playing against zerg....
Defilers and Guardians
Defilers with their damn dark swarm are so annoying. My defenses can't hit the units attcking me. And Guardians because they have such a long range and can hit my turrets/cannons/spores while out of range.

If I am playing as zerg....
Queens and Ultralisks
I hate how queens are almost useless. Sure they can slow down your enemy units, but what good is spawn broodlings. They are weak little ****ers who cant do anything. And Infest doesn't really do anything unless your facing a really stupid Terran player. As for Ultralisks, they are too expensive for their total lack or usefullness. I don't like the idea of spending that much resources on a unit thats only good as a meat shield.

I don't like the idea of spending that much resources on a unit thats only good as a meat shield.

Queens are good... Think about it, the only reason the Spawn Broodling is for killing Huge Units. Use spawn broodlings on those costy units, such as ultralisks etc. And also, if your oponenet is not so genius in siege tanks and they jus dropship them on high land without any sort of defense, just use spawn broodling on one siege tank and let those weaklings finish 1 or 2 tanks b4 they become tank mode (unless they only have 3 or 4 tanks). I also hate fighting against those damn defilerss... dark swarm and ur dead.

I TOTALLY Agree with ultralisks, they are pathetic, and they cost more than mutalisks (which are only good for marines using stim packs and SCV or drones or probes, but they probably die b4 they even reach there). If ultralisks was more flexible and attacked air, then it would be worth it

[10-Neon]

I voted devorer because I never used them...

You'd find that you'd be winning a lot more air battles if you did.

[[LightMare]]

eeeeeeeewwwwwwww destroyer!!!

[alucardx]

mmm,,, I hate defilers... when you see your buildings ( any race ) with the red gel of the plague hability, you can easily became somekind of hulk creature hehe.

I also hate guardians when you´re not ready for an air-attack and you don´t have any aerial units to take them down...

[paragon]

I hate defilers when they are against me cause plague really ****s with my units especially when there are no minerals left on the map and they plague my battlecruisers twice so I can't even repair so I'm flying around with 4 battlecruisers with 4 hp.

I hate infested terrans all other times cause they are useless.

[Arachanox]

I depise Zerglings. They are god-like powerful when used against me, and they die in myriads when I use them.

[Medic]

Likewise,Zerglings are really effective in the hands of a skilled Zerg player;and they're really annoying later on in the game with full upgrades. Used wisely,and they can overwhelm you even if you have superior firepower as Terran or Protoss.

[paragon]

yeah the comp's zerglings in my 1v7computers yesterday raped my marines.

[shirija]

Lurkers are the only ones that can put up a fight... zerglings need great numbers and the game's interface just doesn't let quality shine over quantity as much as out might be able to with SC2. The rest of the units are fairly weak.. ground die to templars and tanks and air die to templar/corsairs and marines.

[MarineCorp]

lurkers because they die so easily more easier than dark templars and they are not that effective:
terrans can comsat the lurkers and build missile turrets if the lurkers are goin to attack the terran base
zergs have overlords and zerglings can pwn them easily( not that easily though)
protoss have cannons almost EVERYWHERE sometimes so they get killed so easily

however, lurkers are great for mass killing and for some reason they are the most liked unit due to that they look awesome xD

[Itsmyship]

I HATE it when Defilers are used on me, because chances are I'm playing Terran, and Dark Swarm just angers me like nothing else....and Plague isn't exactly delightful either. Zerglings....because when they got their speed upgrades and such OMG!!! Plus I hate them in early games.

[TerranTemplar]

Ultralisks, because i never ever found a use for them. They just don't seem to fit the overall zerg idea of quantity over quality. If i want big meat shields, i would go protoss. At least those have shields and regain the points much faster than health regen of the ultralisks.

[PancakeChef]

The ones I hate the most are Guardians and Queens because they can be so darn annoying when you are up against them.

Nothing annoys me more than having a queen fly in and broodling one of my units and just fly away or when a Guardian starts pummeling you from a distance.

[BoydofZINJ]

Ultralisk. They are powerful and deadly; however, have you ever tried to move a group of 12 down a ramp? OMG it can take you an hour! the computer's AI seems to be extra retarded to ultra attacks and movement. A group of 6 terran tanks can coordinate much better than a group of 6 ultras in a moderate or tight space. Ever made a group of 12 ultras and ordered them to attack a single target 8 MAY attack yhe target while the other 4 run around doing nothing and that is if your lucky. I am lucky to get 5 to attack a single target at once. However, they are deadly. In a recent mostly hydra drop... I dropped my main armies of hydras and also dropped 3 ultras in the middle of an enemy base. I left the ultras alone and microed the Hydralisks. Every once in a while I would micro a single ultra or give it a general attack this direction. I use the ultras as a diversion. A single 1 or 2 or a small group of 4 ultras is fine. Anything more than 4 ultras and you be wasting more time controlling them than them destroying ANYTHING!

[GuiMontag]

devourers, they always seem to be outclassed by other air units, maybe its because of their painfully slow attack

[Shadowdragon]

Mutalisks, because they are ugly. Zerglings at least make cute sounds while paw away at my base (before meeting the battlecruiser fleet) and when you select them. Mutalisks Sound ugly, look ugly, attack ugly, and killing them is like swatting at flies.

[ArchLimit]

My most hated unit is the larvae egg. They look and sound disgusting, they don't fight, they don't move... they're just eggs.

[Protosscommander]

devourer thay are so slow specially when attacking

[slugonice]

Defilers.
I never really got to know how to use those little crawlies
