Drones... Ability to transform into a building, cancel, run away

Zerg, why you steal my gas?!

[lolwut]

Probes. They can fire lasers at minerals while us zerg are uselessly clawing at them :O

[Bash]

SCV's have the most health, SCV's are OP.

[ToRsupapower]

scv = imba = build whatever, most hp and repair

[Volition]

Easily the probe. other workers cant take a whole game singlehandedly (cannon rushing)

[EveYekke]

probes = op because it's protoss

This is such an awkward question lol. Probes are by far the best harass (shields, pylon blocking, cannon rushing), drones have the most utility (Stealing gas, Regen HP, can make proxy hatches etc) and scvs are the most useful for a fight (with repair, most hp, etc). Basically I'd say probes are the most broken in every game. Drones are pretty good for worker vs worker wars, although that's because probes are terrible straight up and the way zerg gets more drones quicker than terran early on (talking drone all ins here xD), I'd say drones are generally second best at everything. Not quite as good as scvs for battle and not quite as good as probes for harass.

Therefore, if you're a cheesy all-inner scvs are the most OP worker, if you're a macro player trying to gain an advatage probes are the most OP and finally if you're a player who either A) Wants a mix of both or B) Love not having to shift click you're workers back to minerals when you build something, then drones are the most OP. I think I'm gonna vote for drone though just because Drone rushes are actually the most baller thing.

In Brood War, it was the probe...NonY vs IdrA...memories

In SC2, I don't understand how you could argue against the unit.

I remember from IPL3...the question was "what would you like to see in HotS"

SeleCT: "a melee unit for terran"
oGsMC: "melee unit? you mean SCV?"

seriously, it's the only worker that's legitimately awesome to fight with...try holding a thor rush with SCVs pulled after you nexus first, try killing 2 banshees with 6 stalkers, try...but they stab their fusion cutters in and your hopes and dreams are decimated in the process.

I can't begin to imagine what zergs go through with bunkers

everyone knows the age-old tale of that one probe you didn't find in your base...and protosses know that feeling when your probe gets sniped in PvP. but at least those suckers can't fight...except in HuK vs HasuObs on Terminus from NASL, that was an epic game

[noobinater]

SCV's can be repaired and healed, have the most health and do decently in straight up fights (you don't see probe gateway all ins).

**** terran

[sRFullstop]

I would say Probe because they can harass, recharge shields and come back.

I might go try that . Probe gateway allin ftw.

[Rockstar]

SCV... Repair/most HP.

[HowAreYa]

I was going to say probe, for the shields/cannons etc but then I remember SCV's mass repairing mass Thors.

[xo0jc0ox]

In terms of 1worker vs 1worker Id say probe.

[Meatex]

SCV are the most OP
pull them with a push to make it significantly more effective
more hp
can be healed AND repaired... like are they bio or are they mech ~.~?
And they can repair during combat
Not to mention how they really love to hide in spots where your drone can't actually reach them when they are building a bunker at your natural TTTTTTT

[ROOTPetraeus]

SCV obviously OP.. all the other worker v worker fights are about who hits first but SCVs don't give a shit.

[faithHunter]

I'd say the most OP worker is the Probe. What other race could make 100 buildings on a short timespan with just 1 worker?

[ROOT`iaguz]

Probes.

Why are people asking this?

Because i was bored enough to ask, and welshy was sexy enough to ask EVERYONE.

In other news, the poll this morn was like 20/7/10, people REALLY hate probes today O.o

Haha yeah I guess that's because, like I said in my first post, they can make multiple buildings at a very short timespan (1-10 seconds) with only 1 probe. Also you just have to take 1 probe with you to cannon rush, while if Terran wants to bunker rush, they have to take multiple SCVs to build multiple bunkers at the same time while trying to not get killed, if they do get killed, they have to be replaced by another SCV. Zerg has to take a lot of Drones if they want to Spine Crawler rush in ZvZ, luckily the Drones are not vulnerable to attack while morphing into a Spine.

Just my 2 cents.

[SLCN.NXZ]

Guys stop mindlessly voting scv and probe. You must watch the white ra vid, then you will be converted to the power of drone. If whitera says they are imba, it must be so.

nevaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[FSDarkNemesis]

To be real frank, each Worker has their own pros and cons.

SCV
Pros: Survivability due to Mass Repair any mech friendly, including fellow SCVs. Essential in Mech Armies. If have Orbital Command, should SCVs be destroyed, Free MULES can speed up the work.
Cons: Slowest Acceleration, SCV exposed while building because he needs to be there.

Drone
Pros: Health Regen, Mass Droning for mass economy.
Cons: Sacrifices a drone to mutate into a structure, but in a way, it's hard to stop a drone from rushing an extractor in an enemy base.

Probe
Pros: Fast Acceleration. Needs only a probe to "Summon" or "Warp In" a base FAST! Choice for Proxy Cheesing.
Cons: Only shield regen and can't replenish loss health if damaged.

faithHunter:

All 3 workers have equal acceleration, but nevertheless, nice analysis

And I'm never gonna let you forget it

[kingsky]

naw most definitely drone. They are floating off the ground without technology, and they look effortless at it

[Elusory]

head on 1v1, drone wins due to it regenerating.. if you consider real game factors like for scouting, harass, etc, the probe will be the best as it can recharge shields.

[Vale]

I guess it depends on the situation, but I always assumed this argument to be directed at a "A group vs B group" so my answer would be drones, seeing as with proper micro it seems impossible to lose. ( They regen HP ).

However in usefulness in attacks it would be the SCV (I mean attacks with the army, seeing as it can repair), and lastly for harass I would say the probe is the best seeing as it can drop proxy pylons and such while still being mobile.

So really they all are the best, just in different ways, and that's why I love SC2

[Rageboredguy]

Probe!

Will always win vs another worker if used correctly, and that ability to end games with cannon rushes. Not to mention that one sneaky probe that hides that one pylon which warps in their whole army nearby.

What worker do you fear the most when you see one of them sneaking around? Probe!

[TABjornbrandr]

Motherflipping SCVs. They always manage to move into an unattackable position whilst setting up a bunker in my mineral line, finishing it with 5 health or something retarded like that.
My Zerg tears are flowing

[d00fus]

Drones, 7probe rush fails miserably but 12 drone rush crushes hopes lol

[AxSGRiM]

Yellow SCVs

[x5_Potter]

Drones are annoying to kill when being harassed while making rax cos of the regen during fights! And then they just up and leave the scv alone and make a gas so I can't kill it

[mrGRAPE]

I'm voting for drones because burrowed drones during hellion harass is op, awww yeah!

[DM.MCZ.Shondy]

Yeah scv!!!

[NDG.Stitch]

Probes, because of HuK.

[Sc2Clare]

probes... they just wont die~~~ TT

[AxSGRiM]

Because Drones and SCVs cant harass, repair/regain health or come back.

[ETL.ViTaL]

Defintely SCVs as a terran player i am not at all bias

this reminds me of select saying that in HOTS terran needs a melee unit,
and MC says " u mean SCV? "

[Rockstar]

poor drones gettin no love :-(

[TABottles]

Probes hard counter marauders

[Trusty]

SCV due to it's ability in rushes.

[SmirkToT]

probe haha

[VB_davidbloop]

Impossible to say really. I go probes early in game but SCV's in an army composition.


That said though a melee unit for terran (not SCV) in HOTS would be great

[mGGVersus]

SCV's cause they can repair each other ):

[Trader]

drones, no doubt, regenerate and extractors (Neglecting the fact that scvs have the ability to repair, a solo drone, is better then a solo scv.)

[gleefulpixie]

Probably the probe because it recharges fastest, although in a one on one fight the SCV kills the other two...

[berenoune]

SCVs and MULEs! xD
