Adrenaline is an insane powerspike

Suprising outcome.

Cracklings OP

If it happens in a chokepoint where the Zerglings can't flank around the Zealots will easily win, maybe still keeping half of Zealots or perhaps a little less to Lings having Adrenaline glands. However even with Adrenaline glands the Zealots would still win simply to having a chokepoint

@@Gris00 What if the choke is as wide as a single rank line of zealots? as in 10 zealots wide. Would they still win?

@@t0k3p0k3 So in this clip there is a 4 to 1 ratio to the Zealots, If the chokepoint is still 10 Zealot wide and is enough to prevent Zerglings from going around I think the lings would still win because theirs still a lot of excess lings that after even one Lot dies they can flood around and still win. However if we take this same ratio/upgrades into account when Zealots are behind and holding a mineral line and are perfectly on Hold Position where only 1-2 lings can attack at once then theirs a much likelier chance that the Zealots will win. However Adrenaline Glands still practically does over half the fighting so-to-speak for the Zerglings because Lings without Adrenaline are only good for soaking/distracting units but when upgraded are too good not to use alongside a good composition of Zerg units. However ultimately this would all need to be put into practice inside a game able to consistently give back proper results. Hopefully this helps

I remember the wc3 dev saying resource was a good basic metric for making strategy balance.

Yeah but in the case of zealots vs lings, the zealots dies to other troops less, and lings die easier across the board, so if we're talking 1 to 1 sure, theres a disconnect, but in context of sc2 balance? I say its perfectly fine balance and its unfair if we just saw it at face value with nothing else as a factor

Also, adrenaline is a very late game upgrade. Zealots just don't have one and generally fall off late game in terms of cost efficiency. It's not balance its design
