When you get composition consisting of Lurkers, Brood Lords and Vipers you feel unstoppable. If it is late late game you can add something like Ultras/Corruptors/Infestors and it seems like something that is impossible to deal with.
Can broodlords get a speed buff for legacy? - Page 2

They are slow moving siege units that generate free units, I don't think that they need any buffs at all and are in perfect place right now, and are probably too strong in certain compositions but they are not the problem in those compositions.

I would say BL is contributing as much as vipers in making it feel unstoppable. Viper stops the anti-air and broodlord's pathblocking denys the G2A unit just as much. | ||

If it gets a speed buff, it would be much stronger than it already is. Yea I mean, what if we were to give the broodlord an anti-air attack AND an ability to warp to anywhere in the map? Puurrddyyy imbalanced if you ask me. | ||

Nah, Brood Lords are siege that blocks ground and do solid damage but if you have enough dps you can melt Broodlings, Vipers on the other hand counter big number of smaller air/ground units with Parasitic Bomb/Blinding Cloud and snipe big air/ground units with Abducts. If you don't have Brood Lords in that composition, it is still incredibly strong, just as if you remove Lurkers, but without Vipers there are a ton of ways to engage and kill that composition. I mean Vipers are scary in any composition, others really are not. Current iteration of Viper probably counters everything... | ||

Blink stalker and, in theory, the cyclone are the best things to deal with the long-range siege air units. Zerg has the viper, but thats an air unit I guess. Its a struggle using hydras vs BLs: you have to flank with hydras I would like you to try to use Blink Stalkers to counter Brood Lords. You need Tempests. Blink Stalkers will get destroyed by the pathing the Broodlings generate. And if you mass Blink under Brood Lords with ground support, you'll lose all of your Stalkers. | ||

1. Bec it has ridiculous range 2. Ridiculous DPS Battlecruisers are slow as hell too, and carriers.. why not give it a speed buff /s? | ||

Well, the problem is that when number of Broodlord starts to stack up because you dont need as much corruptors with parasitic bomb and all, its impossible for ground units to close in unless its bio units. larger units just get plain blocked with continuous rain of broodlings | ||

It still has to be in that range to trigger the attack. It doesn't extend its range. The broodlord will always have to be within its range to do any damage. | ||

He wants zerg to actually commit when they use broodlords. Now broodlords are very bad : ZvZ : impossible to transition to broodlords because of broodlords/ravager or mutas fight ZvP : completely useless because of skytoss imbalance ZvT : They come too late and requires upgrades to be useful, at this time the terran players already has many liberators that can deal with zerg air very easily. Also, ultralisk tech is a lot better than broodlords if the zerg manages to get T3 and melee/armor upgrades. Imo Broodlords should stay very fragile but their DPS or the amount of broodlings produced should be higher to reward players that can protect their broodlords. | ||

Actualy i am very proud I am from the same country as NightEnD , but i could not say the same thing about geniuses like u who never got past bronze league. Inainte sa iti dai cu parerea despre joc prietene ar fi bine sa ajung top master (as zice gm dar stiu ca nu ai destui bani sa tebusteze cnv pana acolo) , pentru ca daca ai trece de Silver ai incelege de ce e o miscare idioata sa faci broodlorzii rapizi cu range de tempest( ar deveni SH si ar fi fix hots care a fost un joc ratat pt toss). @FireCake Ari toss is not imba , and toss is not imba aswell considering that on dreamhack qualif most tosses got out of the tournament in the last 8 I would recomend using a Nydus with Hydra,Queen, and lings at 3rd Vs air toss but considering the fact that for the last 3 yeas u just spammed SH and A move i am not expecting u to actually use ur brain when u play.
