Counter Measure for Zergling

[lordson]

i sed LATEGAME!!

Zerglings dont suck in late game either, just gotta add ultras and defilers.

 

[AKA-47]

Or mutas.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

zerglings themselves suck, upgrades make em better, but thats not enough. unless ur playing an idiot, not just a newb, ull need somathing else.

 

[AKA-47]

Zerglings dont suck, end of discussion. No units in the game sucks, not zerglings, not vultures, not queens, not carriers, they all have a purpose.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

ya, and zerglings purpose is to get smoked by Bats!!

 

[AKA-47]

So dont build them vs terran in early game, thats why u scout! Zerglings own zealots in early game, and if u mix them with ultras and dark swarm they will own toss. It is also impossible to beat a good zerg player without getting zerglings.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

I never said don't build lings, i just stated they are weak bythemselves. god u ppl twist my words around to make u sound like im an idiot which i am not.

Lol, Im sorry to say, but Lings alone suck in late game, without upgrades they are pretty much useless, but Cracklings on the other hand are good in late game. You can take 6 Cracklings and 1 Ultralisk into your enemies base and tear up 5 buildings before they kill them. I know this for a fact cause I tend to do it to everyone if I'm loaded with money.

 

[AKA-47]

6 lings and 1 ultra? Its more like 60 lings and 10 ultras in late game...

 

[Eldrich]

I suppose that the best couter for zerglings are firebats. The firebats' splash damage probably is what makes them so good for the job of smoking those zerglings.

 

[AKA-47]

U cant get firebats by the time a 6-pool rush arrives.

 

[SmashBros.Pro]

I was using 6 Ling and 1 Ultra as an example, damn why can't most people understand what examples are...

Cracklings are lots of fun when vsing computer players. Send in 12 and you'll do loads of damage! Then send another 12 until they are dead!
You could just send a whole heap in but its fun when you toy with an opponent. Feels like you have authority!

thats only in early game. In mid game you get wasted by bats and tanks or zealots and reavers

 

[AKA-47]

Lings are good in mid game ZvZ. They are also good in late game ZvP and ZvT combined with ultras and dark swarm.

 

[Raccoon]

Zerglings do loads of damage to Dragoons when the Zerglings have Adreneline Glands, and atleast 2 Melee Upgrades. They do not do well against Dragoons when there are lines of them.
IE. The Zerglings can only hit one line at a time, making them very vulnerable to further back Dragoon fire.

 

[Fist_of_Krosa]

Marines tear up all but Ultras

 

[SmashBros.Pro]

Marines are owned by Cracklings, Hydras, almost all air units, Lurkers, Tanks, Vultures, Ultras, DT's, Ht's, in some cases Archons, Reavers, and I probally left alot out, but the point is if you go all 1 unit your screwed, but if you went M&M it will lessen the chances of a counter add a couple of BC's in and you have a nice combo, but not unbeatable. Mix things up a bit an you'll be surprised what units go good together, like Kerrigan and Raynor

Incorrect. I said vsing COMPUTERS, not gamers. Computer AI is pretty lame. Zerglings alone can annihilate any comp base. No matter whats defending it.
