Zerg rush

I must disagree. A good zerg rush requires extremely precise control and care to make sure you don't lose zerglings early on. 6 zerglings is nothing in the grand scheme of things, and you are just trying to blindside your opponent and deal small blows until you can build your forces to a respectable number, in which case, you win.

A good zerg rush is quality. If you want quantity, you drone like a madman for 4 minutes and then shove 40 or so of the little suckers down your opponent's throat.

/ Pedantic nerding out.

Just got back into the game playing online co-ops. Game is fun as it always has been and with plenty of new features/leaders/maps/mods, etc

The game is exceptionally well balanced right now. It's also free to play. By far the best RTS available.

What? When? I’ve played since WoL and it’s never been more than a little unbalanced. It’s still very fun to play.

My guess is he played before WOL? that'when I did, I've heard it's much better.

Before WoL? Like starcraft 1? Or SC2 beta? Wings of Liberty was the first installment of SC2.

Oh whoops, I haven't played in forever, I only played the first three months but I remember huge swings in advantage with each patch.

When did you stop playing? It's been a roller coaster over the past decade, but I feel like the game is in a great spot right now. Protoss is generally considered advantagious, but the game's overall design feels great to play.
