Dont get me wrong, the opponent clearly won the game and i should of gg'ed but i didnt as i just regard it as retarded play which is just annoying more than anything. Let me explain. Ive hit ladder quite hard this last couple of days and im losing to play (only just tho) which im wondering about the defense of
Ill explain. Last game, Lost Temple against T
I send in overlord close air and see gas straight away so i thought banshees. I hung it around there and sure enough i saw 2 starports go down both with tech labs. sure enough the banshees came around 5-7 of them
Meanwhile back at home i build 3 queens per base just to see if this worked and built spores in my min lines and fast teched to lair for mutas which i eventually got out.
I Suppose i lost the game down to bad micro or positioning on my part but why were the spores OF NO USE what so ever. They are out of range of these things, queens got sniped and then the banshees scaled around the outside taking out all my buildings and stray units, the mutas chased them off.
Now my big mistake was going over the his base and attacking and getting mutas lost with their REALLY GOOD AIR DEFENSE, i had 8 mutas but got whittled to 3 quickly without doing nearly a 10th of damage he was able to do. My air is useless.
so when we tussled and he retreated i sent my 60 lings in on a stupid 3 deep wall of supps and rax got the nest but at this point id had my nat taken out and rebuilt, i then baned the wall got in and destroyed min line took out loads of stuff but he had vikings killed my last remaining air, sniped ovies . . damn.
I cant believe i saw it coming, built 6 queens, 6 spores and 8 mutas and this didnt do enough damage. im not complaining about imbalance or anything but i just couldn't take the shees out... and when he got cloack, man i was mad, he sniped by lair already. i put it donw to bad engage ment on my part but the question is this
You must have come across this. what should be my train of thought?
Whats a solution to this kind of play?
My reflection is i should have massed mutas when i had the econ over the bases and kept him out . . but the counter seemed to tempting as he didnt have enough ground force, just enough to whittle the mutas with missiles and vikings to reduce me to a none offensive force.
