I think that Seige Tanks are used TOO many times... I don't think anyone Terran would be stupid enough NOT to use Seige Tanks...

I voted Carriers, because when you play on B.net, all that you ever see is noobs using carriers because they know no strategy. My favorite units would be a rush of 50 goons, 25 Dark Templars, and 25 Zealots!

I would say either dragoons or hydralisks, but becuase i had to pick one i went with hydras, because I see more people doen hyrda then goons. (slightly more_)

I said dragoon because it is the most OVERused unit. Siege tank is not over used. It is used in every game, but if it helps it is not overused. It is if you make a lot of one unit that can be easily countered (i.e. going mass valkaries is overusing them.) I'm kind of split between carriers and dragoons. Dragoons are okay, but if you swarm and zergling or tank with goliath support you can beat them fairly easily. Carriers are really easy to kill and everyone always attacks with them. Lots of valkaries or scourages easily kills them.

I voted Seige tank, yes it is overused. But it helps alot... I use it too(I'm not exactly overboard with it,) When using seige tanks its like a 50/50 chance of winning the game(if you are playing 1v1) because if your opponents go ground(happens to me alot), massing tanks at the entrance of your base will kill all of them because you have too high range, but then, if they go air(happens to me even more), i'm just dead with me struggling to make some goliaths and turrets in time. But in 2v2,3v3,4v4, zc, I mass tanks in the middle entrance so that they are not able to use ground, while my allies do the air-killing for me, then I kill their base.

But yes, seige tank IS overused. cool1.gif

Carriers. Case in point: Any money map.

On money maps, it is often a race to see who gets the most Carriers. That's why I generally, if I find myself in the fun backstabber's position in a money map comp stomp game, build lots of Scouts (Excellent anti-Carriers).

Then just make some Goliaths at the same time as Tanks, so you don't 'struggle to make some goliaths and turrets in time.'

Damn you, I wanted to say that!

I have no idea as to most-overused... probbably Carrier, though.

but carriers are only overused if you playing a money map, on other maps, id have to say it would go to other units. you can only support going carriers if you have the giant supply of a money map.

Agh, crack, I forgot to add in Goliaths... no one thinks that multalisks are overused? I mean, they are weak, but they are powerful when grouped together... And Zergling rushes at the beginning of the game... ermm.gif

i vote carriers because the noobs mass cannons for defence then mass carriers...

I like to go scouts and zealots smile.gif and maybe some reavers and goons in their !! smile.gif

The hydralisk. A standard zerg tactic on most money maps is to just pump them out constantly to slowly grind down someone's defences.

[center]For a melee game, it has to be Carriers/the dominator units of all the races.
Throughout all mapping, it's probably Zerglings, because of how many bounds there are, and 90% of them use zerglings as the main unit.
