There is a replay at the very bottom of this post. I just played a game against a Zerg on ladder. I went 1gate FE since it was Metalopolis and it's SUPER risky to forge first with such and open natural. He fully saturated 2 bases then pumped LITERALLY like 150 lings and threw them at me in waves of about 20-40. using forcefields I held losing about 10 or 11 units. He literally LITERALLY lost over 100 units (100 lings so you could argue it was really more like 50 units but still!). I think i lost like 5 probes a couple zealots and a sentry or 2. so I figured having lost SO MUCH larva without really killing much of anything, the Zerg should be WAY behind. I then 7 gated him and was crushed by mass roach. before my 7 gate hit i had lost about 1500 resources and he had lost over, i repeat, OVER 3000! at one point the resources lost was something like 1700 losses for Protoss vs 4500 losses for zerg. My 7gate timing was crushed at about the 15 minute mark (yes thats slow for a 7gate but it was NOT a normal game since he lost 100 something lings before I lost 10 units total very early). and after the 7gate failed I had lost. The game dragged on a long time after that but it was pretty much over.
tl;dr-
Protoss 1gate FE vs Zerg 2base mass ling
Protoss loses 10 units Zerg loses over 100
Protoss allin immediately afterwards
Protoss is CRUSHED by roaches Protoss has NO chance vs Zerg

PS I'm not a small child. You cannot simply tell me "You're wrong" with no evidence and expect me to believe you.
OP: Harvest, Diamond Protoss, rank 21, 491 points, 160 wins
. Debate: Should the 6Pool be nerfed so that a Spawning Pool requires two Overlords on the field, regardless of affilliation?
OP: Seabass, Diamond Protoss 5 wins, rank 49, 120 points.
I'm wondering what you guys would think if a sentry was able to hallucinate a structure within your immediate tech tree (i.e. a stargate if you have a cybernetics core built) in a pylon power field for 100 energy, and lasts the same as a regular hallucination. Would this be OP? Useless? Or maybe a good addition to the game? Discuss, and have fun
note: obviously you would have to have to research hallucination.
Battle.net forums are slowly making me lose faith in humanity.
i saw that first one though! it was titled something like "Mathematical PROOF that protoss is underpowered" or something wasnt it?
Silly, silly kids on Bnet forums.
I don't know why you included the first one. I mean the zerg made 150 lings and sent them in 20-40 at a time and lost 100 lings. The protoss only lost 11 units (2 zealot 2 sentry). He then attacked with 7 gates immediately after these 100 lings were killed at the 15 minute mark. Protoss lost 1500 minerals and zerg lost 3000 minerals. Protoss lost 1700 minerals and zerg lost 4500 minerals.
I think the real question there is how does the zerg have enough minerals to make 100 lings AND roaches by the 15 minute mark. Zerg shouldn't have even taken his gas by that point. Obviously zerg just has in built money hacks.
lol! yeah I feel the same way the first few times I played catz. 500 ZERGLINGS. Ok, I lost a roach and a drone, I should win now right?? WAIT NO ANOTHER 500 ZERGLINGS LOLOL MY NAME IS CATZ HAHA I HAVE 29 DRONES FOR THE WHOLE GAME. NOW I BASETRADE AND YOU DIE IN 5 SECONDS. Wait it's ok I have 8, I REPEAT, EIGHT banelings on my ramp, a spine and 2 queens.
The lings have 1-1 WTFF???? 2 bane hits to kill them and NA delay ftl. FML GRRRR Try to run drones but they don't even make it to the ramp before the ling dps kills them.
Had many similar situations vs tgun. Lesson: Lings imba.
