New units+new maps too.

Well if it carries over the hero based nature of the single player it could be very different.
Well, I'm starting to string a few wins together in bronze. I think my problem was trying to be too clever, if that makes sense. Now I'm just keeping it real simple... rushing Protos with waves of Speedlings until they get annoyed and leave, for example 
Also came across a bug as well - wouldn't let me upgrade to Hive (the button was grayed out) and I couldn't figure out why.....in the end I hammered the grayed out button a few times out of frustration and it suddenly woke up and started building it

PvZ is actually a joke now I swear. The multitude of builds zerg can do and the fact that now they're units are quite strong (lol infestor - the only unit in the game that can actually deal with everything) means you either get out macro'd or blitzkrieged and die immediately. Really is starting to grind me as i hate doing some 7 gate all-in off 2 base but apparently you can't play a macro game anymore against them.
Oh also the number of zergs have suddently quadrupled.....hmmmmm
/rant off

It's amazing how in the space of a few pages on a thread every race has been accused of being op in some form .
Needless to say, struggling against a race is not the same as being OP for anyone less than grandmaster/master really.

Weird, I'm a Protoss in silver, and of the 7 games I've played, two were against Zerg, and they are the only two I've won. When I see I'm against a Zerg, I smile because I seem to do better against them. Colossi for terrible, terrible damage, stalkers and zealots to back them up. Maybe throw some voids in if they don't have any hydras up.

It's not a bug,you need an infestation pit in order to upgrade to hive.You probably had your infestation pit finishing at that time,and when it was done the hive button was no longer grayed.

Oops, I meant Lair, not HiveAnd yes, I'd had the spawning pool for a long time!
Don't mean to sound patronising but are you sure you had enough gas? Maybe it was slowly building up or something?

Did you have a queen building by any chance?
I must say current state of game I hate cheese, I don't GG them, I just leave, its not worth it. They are getting nothing from it. Ohh look i can get 200mins, drop a pool and then produce ling... and i win...
They stoped protoss being able to 4gate chese - 4 gate or 3gate robo is our standard openers now. nothing more nothing less. Blizzard need to remove quick ling + marine rushes.
Either by making barracks/pools take longer or give protoss more defence.

Quick question.
Whenever i watch casts, the pros are very good at deploying their siege tanks so enemy tanks are literally at the edge of their range, i was wondering whether this is simply a skill that they have devloped from lots of playing or whether there is a setting that will show what the range of the tank will be before it deploys?

6 pool is a pretty weak cheese compared to anything that terran or protoss can do to a zerg.
Also it is pretty easy to defend, eaither compleat your wall off when you scout it or just kill the lings with your workers. You will now win due to an economic advantage.
You don't have enough gas for stalkers at this stage of the game. I can get one out just after the lings arrive.
6 pool only wins when people dont scout.
The spawning pool costs 200 minerals (the equivalent of you being at population of 10 SCVs / probes etc). It takes 80 seconds to build, there is then an additional 24 seconds for the zerglings to build.
99% of the time i scout at 10 food meaning that I have almost 2 minutes to find the enemy players base and wall in.
I really dont think its a threat.

I wouldnt say that's true at all. If you scout a marine rush then a 3 gate robo may be an appropriate defence, but you're certainly not limited to it all the time.
I've been trying to find an answer to this for ages!
I think it's just a case of getting to know the range. When you siege, the weapon range will show. As far as I can tell, there's no way to show seiege range when un-sieged.
Would be happy to be told otherwise!
