What would be the most ignored unit in starcraft 1?

[surr]

I wondered what is the most ignored unit in starcraft.. here is my list

Ultralisk..wow too expensive
Archon..stupid emp shockwave(good for swarms of zergs through)
Vultures..too hard to micro
corasirs.....Scouts are better
valkrieys...cool but too specific

So what is ur most ignored starcraft unit???

[paragon]

Scouts are soooo not better than corsairs. Scouts cost almost as much as Carriers and they suck on top of that. Corsairs are relatively inexpensive and their air attack is better especially upgraded and especially in large groups. And they have disruption web. In fact, Scouts are possibly the worst air unit when you factor in their ridiculous cost. So what if Scouts have a ground attack and corsairs don't, the Scout ground attack blows beyond belief.

I would say Infested Terrans are ignored because you can only get them if there is a terran in the game and if they happen to have a CC damaged but not destroyed and it you have a queen there. And they are expensive for something that just explodes.

This is a lot like the whats the worst unit in starcraft thread...

hmmm i don't really have a ignored unit unless the game is rush game. in that case here's a list

Terran:
BattleCruiser-you're kidding right? i said rush XD

Zerg:
Queen-eh. too much time to upgrade spells
Defiler-see above
Ultralisk-RUSH dude RUSH

Protoss:
Carrier-THE TOPIC IS RUSH!!! XP

that's about it though

[mc2]

Defiler - I don't use it much and I barely see anyone use it when I play them
Ultralisk - not cost effective at all, and take up 6 supplies
vulture - overshadowed by siege tank's power, so why make them when the next unit is SO powerful?
valkyrie - only useful at countering mass mutas and quite expensive too
arbiter - takes too long to make
dark archon - I barely use them and I barely see anyone use it when I play them

[[LightMare]]

ultralisk
scout
devourer
guardian
vulture
dark archon
queen
defiler
infested terran
that's pretty much it

[PowerkickasS]

most ignored buildable units:
infested terrans
queens
scouts
valkyries

in my experience everything else is used more than less in both online/professional games

[surr]

i still perfer the scout through they are awsome anti air..fast manuverable and not defenseless vs ground..i would say they do cost quiet a lot through

[JudasXPriest]

It all depends on if you play BroodWar or Original. In original SC, scouts are really useful against air units. I always see alot of people say that Defilers are a useless unit. Personally i think defilers are extremely useful, and if you play against me when im zerg, u'll definitely see me using defilers. But my most ignored units would have to be:

- Ultralisks (too expensive and not that good)
- Ghosts (Unless im nuking someone, thier pretty useless. Lockdowns nice though ;))
- Carriers/Battle Cruisers (If your playing a Money-map its different, but for Non-Money, hell no)

[GuiMontag]

infested terran, scout and valkerie are the only units that are rarely seen in pro games

[CrAcKMuNkY]

Infested Terrans definitely
Scouts I happen to see once in awhile
Ultralisks I NEVER see, unless its a UMS map
Valks are useful as they do splash damage like Corsairs but I still don't use them much.

vouch.. I never use scouts..

and corsairs are soooo leet..

protoss vs zerg, you get corsair early and you scout the whole map for his overlords... gg

yep, no overlords left = zerg ****ed

[MrFrancko]

To be honest I never used the queen really unless I was just screwing around. I also never used Valkeries. I figured a fleet of BCs could fend for themselves. As for Protoss I probably used corsairs and scouts the least. Too expensive. Might as well build a carrier.

I hope someone sent a massive cloaked wraith/science vessel fleet after you
Or massive psi storm
Or that some defilers plagued you and then mutalisks and devourers finished you off
Or that some ghosts locked you down and Goliaths took you down.

It has happened but it's all about adapting to what other people are building. Always gotta have an observer with you, especially against Terrans. Maybe drop a few reavers into the back of someones base while they are distracted with your carriers.

Mutas can be a problem of course but you would need a lot of them. And hopefully i've caught someone in time to make sure they don't make enough ghosts to lock me down.

Infested Terrans

[Tym29]

Those little tigers and rhinos are pretty easy to ignore and the pterodactyls and the three legged birds are pretty useless too. :sleeping:

[DontHate]

yea. i guess i never seen an ultra, queen, infested terrans. I have seen scouts on occasions though, to do some AA.

[alucardx]

It depends of the kinf of game you´re playing... But :

*Scourges : useless unless you´re desperate to to take out 1 or 2 massive air units
*Infested Terrans : hard to get and to use
*Devourer : never meant a menace for terran/protoss aerial units
*Vultures : Once they´re out of spider mines,,, they´re too weak,,, good for scouting

But it´s all relative

[paragon]

devourer is a support unit you have to use it in combination with mutalisks
vultures are good at harassing slower units especially slower melee units like zealots.

[Lemonparty]

Upgraded Vultures can harass pretty good and lure stupid people into a bunch of your siege tanks (if they're close to him), I think they're the fastest unit in the game so yeah.

[Itsmyship]

Fastest are either Vultures, Mutas, or Corsairs

[Ghost]

I wont say infested terran, cuz its not really IGNORED, i mean, if you have an infested terran command centre you dont really igonore them do you?

I dont really igonre any units, they're all good depending on the situation but in bnet i rarely see (excluding Infested Terrans):

Ultralisks
Hydralisk (lol, you fell for it)
Devourer
Firebats (M&M mostly so no f.bats)

[Itsmyship]

For Terran....Vulture and Firebat, I never used them and i've seen only a few ppl use Vultures

For zerg.... Devourer, Queen, and Ultra...not that big of a surprise

Hmmmm....the toss don't really have ignored units do they? Only thing I can think of is Corsair, but then again, I haven't really played zerg against toss at all, so i guess i can't really say. I personally love the Corsair...i think i love it more than the Scout.

[Ghost]

Yea but I use the disruption web alot so I chose not to state him as ignored ;D

[Itsmyship]

Mkay, I guess the toss don't really have ignored units....wait...hah!! I got one! Dark Archon!

[generalrievous]

vults without a doubt after you lay your mines I just throw them at the enemy

[paragon]

but firebats rape shields of mass zealots... they can't be ignored in pvt
