What's the in lore reason that zerg hive clusters have to morph tech buildings to be able to spawn particular units? eg Warren for Roach, Den for Hydras etc etc

He is supposed to be banned but is ban evading on his alt u/Old_Front7166

He is confirmed to be mentally unwell irl and just obfuscates all balance discussion in this subreddit with his endless crusading, often on things unsubstantiated or contradicted by statistics

He is known to be a nasty piece of work and could be a case study on cope, there is a reason he was banned here and is unwelcome in many streams here. Can something be done?

Roooolllll that beauitful nuke footage!

i remember firebats in Starcraft 1 were pretty much useless beides countering zergling swarms and maybe suicide runs against enemy workers.

and that's because their damage type does -50% damage to medium sized units and -75% damage to large sized units.
so while on theory, 4 firebats should counter an ultralisk well since their price is very similiar, they actually won't do diddly dick because instead of 16 damage they only deal 4 damage.

so were they really useless or am i missing something?

The SCV stands for the Space Construction VEHICLE, and yet it's attacks are upgraded by INFANTRY upgrades, not VEHICLE upgrades, as it's name would suggest. Frankly I think this is absolutely disgraceful, and another example of "Blizzard Polish" just not meaning anything anymore. Sad to see this company fall so far, smh my head.

And.......

It was legitimately horrible. Honestly, I could've never played past wings and just relished the positive memory. I know I'm beating a dead horse here and the consensus is that the SC2 story is really bad, but wow. I wasnt prepared.

Heart of the swarm was silly but fun. I could tell the story got wacky after Kerrigan was rescued by raynor, but I overlooked it and had fun playing the missions.

Legacy of the Voids missions were pretty boring, but the increase in difficulty on brutal kept me grinding.

But the epilogue. Holy God. It was so much worse than the rest. Not only was the story so insanely boring and predictable, but the mission design was horrid. Ive seen people say they enjoyed the Narud mission, but all 3 missions are just fighting shadow units from the 3 main races. THATS. FUCKING. IT. The conclusion to all these campaigns was just fighting hoards of regular units for a few hours? Then smashing some flying rocks? Im baffled.

Anyways, I know I'm like 11 years late. I was going to go back and try to 100% the campaigns and complete the rest of the mastery achievements, but at this point I lack the motivation. That god awful epilogue legitimately killed off my love of the game. Guess I'll try to return to ladder after like 8 years. Or are the nova missions worth it?
