Topic Spore Crawlers Beat My Phoenix Rush

So, I quickly transitioned into a phoenix rush from my 1-gate, and when I harassed his mineral line I had spotted he had about 15 spore crawlers. And I was like, "Well, jeez, how do I counter this now?"

Almost all the phoenix's I had literally just died to his Spore Crawler at that moment. In my opinion they're extremely overpowered.

I continued to build more phoenix's, but to no avail, he spread his creep everywhere, and just kept building more! Soon my Phoenix's couldn't do anything at all.

The worst part was when he continuously fungal growth my phoenix's, (about 8 times) and built more spore crawlers around them. I just had no clue what to do. Spore Crawlers are too op.

I agree, then need a huge nerf, I think they should have a range of 3, do 2 damage a shot, and not detect cloaked units. I might stand a chance in PvZ then.

Why did you not change gears and start producing ground units?

And fall into the zerg's dastardly plot? Switching to ground is exactly the tech switch the zerg was trying to force!

Why bother? Phoenix's are extremely overpowered. Kill everything and everything as it is.

That's why 99% favor this over the 4-gate builds.

It's really scary to me that anyone reads these things and takes them seriously / at face value. To quote that other thread, it's this that lowers my faith in humanity.


I SUE YOU FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT RWAWWRRRRR

once you've killed all of the overlords and eliminated their whole army by lifting every last zergling up into the air you can kill their buildings with your probes.

You can just graviton beam the little man out of the terran missile turret. What use is the turret if the little man controlling it has been lifted out of the building?

That is why you have the Phoenixes babysitting your commando probs. Zerg building dies, Phoenixes lift all the broodlings. It is much more micro intensive than defeating terran though.
