Yup, I like to make polls. It could be in any of the three races during a melee or top vs bottom game. What do you think is the most used unit? I think they are Protoss Dragoons, If there was a protoss player in the game, they would mass dragoons or at least at one point.

Overlords.
What about Drones, Probes and SCV's then? :P

drones? there are more then 2x as many probe or scvs at most points in a game

Probes, SCVs, and Drones don't count as units. They're peons, workers, whatever you want to call them.

If probes, SCVs, and drones don't count as units, then overlords shouldn't either. Instead they should be considered as supply depots transformed into levitating elephants.

Haha. Ofcourse they count as units. Don't be silly.

Nice pole
Depends on what breed and what type of unit your talking about.
I could just say its Probes.
For protoss it would be dragoon,
for terran, it would be maybe goliath,
for Zerg, it might be Hydralisk,
for multiplayer overall, i'd say zerglings...
overall for the whole thing, i'd say
zergling/hydralisks.

Well, if Overlords don't count' the shuttle or the Dropship don't coun't too...
But's it realy hard to say.
I think in maps with lots of money, dragoons and marines would be some of the most...

From when I played I would say Terran players used Marines, then Tanks the most. Zerg obviously use Zerglings the most, and Protoss use Dragoons then Zealots the most.

For T they use tanks for every matchup.

i think it all depends on the user's favorite race, in my opinion (Terrans) the most useful unit is a SCV and it IS considered a unit in my StarCraft idk yours....but also Marines and Firebats and vultures and wraith are my favorite units....although Ghosts, siege tanks, and other units are pretty much the best ones..

Workers is the most used unit in SC! You need it every game!
lol just joking. IMO if I have to mention a non-working unit that appears every game, it has to be protoss zealot. You need zealots in protoss vs protoss, you need zealots against zerg, you need them against terran! Without zealots protoss is incomplete. No matter what strategy you use as protoss, you need those zealots.
For terran it completely depends on the match up...against zerg you need rines against protoss u need vultures and against terran you need wraiths...
May I also nominate zerglings? Even not used as frequent as zealots, the zerg produces zergling in every combo. Hydraling, Lurkerling, Mutaling, Ultraling and even Defilerling!

Defilerling? Is the Z really starved for gas or something? It's always been lurk/ling/def or ultra/ling/def for me (TvZ wise, at least).
But I have to agree with zealots. Without zealot/HT bombs, breaking a slow push would be next to impossible.

when ever i play againt the protoss they always use archons most of the time:_penguin:

Ya I am a bit going over the hoop for saying defilerling...lol...
HT bomb? Are you out of your mind? Low hp and high cost...the vultures will finish them before tanks shoot...
MidnightGladius

Eh, no, you don't use them like zealot bombs, you do this:
1. Flank the push as you would normally.
2. Load each shuttle with 3 zeals, 1 HT (I've seen some pros do it with more, but I'm not that crazy; make sure you have the HT hot-keyed)
3. Drop the zealots as you would normally.
4. Drop the HT while the vults are firing at something else and storm.
5. Load it back into the shuttle.
If you time it somewhat well, you can get one or two storms out and save your HT. It'll leave tanks with low HP so that goons/zeals can kill them in 1-2 hits.

I'd say hydralisks. Easy.
If a zerg doesent have a hydralisk, he cant survive. Its just wrong, zerg needs hydras. Also, zerg mass more than the other two races, therefore
Hydralisks.

Ahh, don't say HT bomb then...scary...
yes a zerg can win without hydralisk...take a ZvZ match for instance...
lol
for ZergLerz as i like to call them larva cant make anything without them =D and they do count as units , units that morph to other units Xd =D

As I recently learned yesterday, hydra/ling SO does not work against muta/ling ZvZ. The lack of mobility is crippling, since you can't effectively get a safe expo.
And K_T_G, if you 3hatch speedling rush, I guarantee you will have more lings than larva.

Although its used out of necessity, i'd say that the worker units are the most overused...

10-28-2005, 3:28 PM
Ya but it's been mentioned that workers does not count...

gonna have to say Guardians/Devorors.....
every game I play(mainly money) Zerg goes for the super air and doesnt do shit about anything else.... massed Guardians screw u up if not properly countred but they wave attack and u dead....

Also, zerg mass more than the other two races.
I think the Zerg race mass atack becose they have the units with less hp and hit points.
And back on the thread, I think it depends of the race.Here is what I think:
Starcraft:
Terran: Marines,Goliaths and Tanks.
Zerg: Hydralisk.
Protoss: Dragoons.
Broodwar:
Terran: Marines,Goliaths and Tanks.
Zerg: Hydralisk and Lurkers.
Protoss: Dragoons and Dark Templars.

This is a pointless thread. It's so dependent on map, matchup, and the BO. It's like that "what's the best spellcaster" poll.

From my experiance I would consider...
Terran - Marines.
Protoss - Zealots and Dragoons.
Zerg - Zerglings and Hydralisks.
But then again, it varies from player to player.
