To add to the fact that ITs are pretty much not used at all is the fact that you have to tech to queens.


As I said before, too far up the techtree. Using queens is not too bad in normal melee, but anything more than two is too much, and rather wasteful since you have to get a queen nest anyways. Broodlings were really made cheaper in the recent patches(100/100 minerals/gas) to research. And to get ITs, you have to infest anyway. By that point you will either have destroyed it yourself, or your enemy has done it for you.

So you're saying if the little kid shot a guy in da head, the person who gave him the gun should go to jail and the little kid can still roam the streets?

... I agree with that. The person who gave the kid the gun should go to jail, AND the person who also used the gun should too. When did I ever say the person who doesn't use a hack shouldn't get punished either? Hell, Blizzard already punishes them, but they should also go after the CREATORS, the main CAUSE of the problem.

Think of it like drugs and drug dealers. You have the users as the bottom of the chain, and higher up you have the dealers. You mostly want to go after the dealers because they are the ones selling the drugs.

I find it funny and pathetic that you are trying to justify hacking.

QUOTE
Infested terrans definitely are not a waste of time, just like getting a nuke isn't. If you can get infested terrans, that doesn't mean you could have won the game already. You really only need to tech to lair, mutate a queen's nest, mutate a queen, and then have a friendly Terran ally send you a cc; unlike the techage of hive, a number of tech buildings to purchase your zerglings, hydralisks, mutalisks, and then your defiler mound(s), and then ultralisk den just so you can start massing properly (not to mention several hatcheries), which you can probably have an infested cc by then.

Yes, that's what I am saying. No other choice. I don't have an example of people using ITs on a main basis, unless it is the campaign, and you have nothing better to use.

The drug users will only turn to more drug dealers. There will always be an available drug dealer, private or public.

What is this TheoryCraft you speak of? I've only heard of it in WarCraft III.

By the way, how did we go from the patch 1.13c to how infested terrans are pwnage in melee or other maps?

"Doing more damage to their allies," where's your micro? Infested terrans can splash 500 dmg onto a solid number of ultralisks, probably just killing them all with a single Infested Terran. Hell yes they're a crucial part of Zerg. If a Zerg player has access to infested terrans, he has an enormous advantage, like I said earlier. Fastest Possible maps are for newbs. Do you really need 50 minerals stacked one inch away from your Nexus? There's no micro needed, just pick a solid unit and mass. Zerg strategy is the same as Terran or Protoss strategy; micro is vital. If you play a team game, maybe 3v3 BGH or 4v4, you might have a chance of getting a Terran ally. Just ask politely for him to send over a cc for infestation and you'll have infested terrans pumping out in no time. Most players don't go through with the effort because most players are newbs that need to go learn to melee and actually beat the campaigns WITHOUT cheats. Please, go play some more melee, and I suggest that YOU watch what PROFESSIONALS do.


Not alot of people micro well. Sometimes one can lose control of an IT that auto-acquires. You could kill many units in a flash, in theory, but how often will an enemy group twelve ultralisks together, without backup or a second plan? As for Fastest, I don't play it alot. And I find that people who play Fastest are more likely to survive than LT players on Fastest. Getting to the point, no you don't need, but Fastest is not pure massing of one unit. If you did that, other people would just make an anti-unit and you would get screwed anyway. And who is going to build a CC just for you, unless you already had the minerals to spare in the first place (again, high techtree-reqs). And most people who don't use ITs are usually using something else, which they ahve already established a firm foundation in. And please don't tell me what to do when I know what I am doing. As for professionals, your definition of them is flawed. Just because someone is professional does not mean they are good. It means they get paid for it. After all, in literature, Sherlock Holmes is considered the best detective, but he is an amateur. An amateur is by definition, someone who DOES NOT GET PAID for their work. Don't get caught up in the confusion of the sports world. People in Pro sports get paid because they are the only ones worth the time and effort getting paid.

Furthermore, if you are going queens in a ZvT you aren't going to waste your time trying to infest a command center and get infested terrans. That's not the main point of going Queens.

Less chefes to cook for less people. There wil always be one. You can't keep an eye on everyone all the time. It can't be done, it's human nature: survival.

Okay, so are you done thinking that infested terrans aren't "usable in mainstream" when they don't really suck that badly if used properly?

Btw, when I said "professional" I mean someone who was very far above the average player in doing something. Ex: "Professional" bounder - maybe gets over 5x as much as the average newb in Chinese Bound 2.
Just because you learned the proper term of professional doesn't mean that you don't know what I'm talking about.

Basically infested terrans can be useful IF you get them, but in most of the games you play you won't be like "My main strategy is to win with infested terrans." Most of the time it's to embarass the other guy. If you are playing a serious game I think your mind would be on microing something else if you aren't clearly winning.

Which relates to the fact that if you can get infested terrans you could have won some other way.

They don't "suck" at all as units. It's just you don't really even NEED them.

The simple fact that I had to tell you what "professional" actually meant means I would have to know the context of which you using it. Using it wrong can mean something entirely different, purposeful, or not. I never said they were completely uselss did I? Did I just not say they were godly in campaign three and four in expansion Zerg? They are useful, but who will go through the effort of getting them? And as for "above the others"? Just use the phrase "alot better than other people". You are not insulting anyone except yourself.

I never said when a Zerg player plays as zerg, his main intention is to get infested terrans asap. I'm saying that infested terrans are definitely worth the effort, however, it is optional. Which relates to your fact that you're correct, you don't really need them. Just like someone doesn't really need zerglings, or someone doesn't really need queens or defilers to win. Maybe you'll use devourers once in awhile, but probably more often than you'll use mutalisks (as just mutalisks and not to morph into another unit).

Btw, could we get back on da subject of the 1.13c patch? After all, that's what the name of the topic states; "Patch 1.13c."

Okay then, I guess we're settled. To sum it all up for people who ignored the first few pages of this topic:

QUOTE(MrrLL @ Aug 22 2005, 06:08 PM)
Patch 1.13c

- Fixed a bug involving zerg buildings. (This part was relating to patching the hack which allowed a player to morph a drone from his or her Creep Colony. It was like getting free drones.)
- Fixed a bug related to minimap unit ordering during replays. (No idea on what this does)

Some people are saying the other triggers are now patched too.

UPDATE:

This patch also disables the building of Infested Terrans.

So, there is a sure chance of Patch 1.13d coming soon.

No, I'm just a sophmore. What I know I learned from neccessity. Comparing Donovan McNabb to Michael Vick requires this information and vocabulary knowledge. You simply have to know what professional means.

Off Topic:
McNabb is the pwnage, btw. Hands down. No QB ever won a Suber Bowl by ruinning all over the place. He makes his Wideouts do all the running, and he throws like the wind. Vick needs to improve his arm.
