I've been thinking over and over. When a player gets 200 hydras and rush them at opponents there is little army that can take them out unless with good micro.
But why hydra mass can rock that much?
Here's the reasons I figured out:
Hydras has explosive attack, that means they deal full damage on large units. Good vs capital ships
Hydras deals lower damage on small units, but small units are so small and small that they can get killed in a few hits.
Hydras got range, therefore the closer units get to the first hydra, the more hydras hits they are taking. It's impossible for any lone unit to get close a hydra mass without dying.
Well, anymore?

Well everyone talks about stopping spamming but it's like when someone tells someone to shut up, the other person then says shut up or something else back and it can go on forever. Also 200 hydras gets owned by a wall of like depots with maybe 12 tanks behind it.
Edit: woops forgot to add, in things like money maps and BGH with tight choke points, but it sometimes works with a wider opening, more tanks though

mass hydras suck. no one ever masses in real games. if they have a lot of hydras, there will be a few zerglings and maybe lurkswith them. hydras for distraction, ling to deal damage before they die and the lurks to own the rest of the units.

Mass of hydras is good and not just depends on enemys defense and how you attack

Mass hydras vs 8 tanks and 3 bunks with marines. Full upgrades on everything. The BIG match. Who shall win? Meh, right now 13,000 hydralisks have fallen to the backup "trap" defenses. It is official: Felagund's defense is godly. Follow my example and you will win!
*Left it on all night. It's beautiful how many hydras have died. I hate hydras.

4-5 high templars and about 20 zealots could do it. A darkswarm could do it. Seiged tanks could do it. Its far from invincible. I can't believe that Johnznothere78 could say anything about post count when he just made a useless post.

Hydra isnt any better than anyother units BUT ON FAST MAP U HAVE 30+++ HATCH and u can make 200 on a second so u can just send units all the time and toss and terr cant produce much enough to stop that then hydra wins .. -_-a

What if Terran gets 30 Factories or Protoss gets 30 Gateways? -_-
And you can't make 200 a second. You would build 200, then have to wait 24 seconds for a new larva. Then 24 for another. And another 24 for the third larva. Not to mention drones would also take up supply, so you wouldn't have 200 Hydras to begin with.
