Thats just not true, if he does that means he has more units then you, have gathered more resources then you and otherwhise outplayed you from the start. Has nothing to do with them being OP.
yes, no and no, in that order. as stated, its not just the power of the roaches thats a problem, its the power + the low costs, both in resources and in unitlimit. and yes immortals shoot roaches in 3 shots, unfortunatly, roaches ( when in the hands of any player who didnt start playing this game 2 days ago) will be at your throat way before a immortal will be in the game, even if you go fast tech to them. and stalkers will not kill the roaches fast enough, and when you go fast tech to immortal, you wont have as much other units to hold roaches off anyway |

Well, we feel that the Roach is "mighty" (by we I mean not only us, but especially the developers), but it is not really overpowered when you look at it from different angles. It does give the Zerg timing pushes against the other races and we feel that with proper scouting and when you expect it to happen those pushes are blockable. We currently don't feel that the Roach is out of balance, but this unit is on our watch list along with the Reaper. In general the Roach appears to be more of a problem at lower levels of play, where players don't really know how to properly counter it and they judge it by it's stats that on the paper are really strong. |
