If you lose to straight marauders with lings you are doing something horribly wrong; either not macroing at all or engaging at a terrible spot. Even in the latter situation the Zerglings would do well, so I'm learning towards the first option.
It's kinda hard to tech when you've got a ton of Marauders shooting at your expo and killing your drones. It's not like Marauders do 1 damage against non-armored units.
Close positions in metalopolis didn't help. I'm not saying it's impossible to stop, but god damn it's not hard at all to mass marauders and keep reinforcing them constantly, so then I have to do keyboard gymnastics against them. If I let them get close to my expo at all, it's dead in a second.

I imagine transfusing roaches would be clutch there. You'd miss out on larvae, but you can use those saved resources to tech to air.

Close positions in metal is horrible of course, but mass marauders are the least of zerg's worries in the match-up. An appropriate amount of lings will either counter the marauder ball outright or at worst, delay long enough for you to comfortably get out mutas.

Loves me some marauder-bash threads. ^_^
Transfussion range is too small and casts too slow to be of much help.
Unrelated question to all:
I have noticed that for spells it will let you select the spell and show the cast radius even if you don't have enough mana, making you think you can cast. Then when you realize you're not casting, if you left click on something else, it keeps trying to cast, so you eventually miss clicks. Is there a way around this other than hot-keying to other units, or hitting esc to stop the cast attempt?
It's gotten me a couple of times when trying to micro right after casting.

Right click.
I might be mistaken but right-click does the passive move command? I can't check right now since I'm not at my personal comp.

I just watched that from his POV. At around 19m he A-moves towards the neck at your natural while his cam goes to macro - and only his zealots engage your army. He went from like 20food up to 46food of zealots donated. After that you dominated every fight.
He made mistakes, you made marauders.*

that's a funny quote but I thought it was a pretty scrappy game from me, mistake by him or not

More like 40!
They also have a firing speed of 0.1 with stim. At least that's what it looks like.
I have watched mass lings tear mass Marauders a new one before, or at least delay them enough for the zerg to tech to Mutas.
Seriously it's like some of you guys actually think that Marauders have 300 HP and deal 60 damage every 0.3 seconds.

Finally someone who understands my handicap
and at the end he said 'gg wop'
and I assume he meant wp, which is nice
but I am Italian and maybe he knew that and was really angry
I tend to go by the logic that people look like their avatars.
You are the weirdest Italian.
It's starting. This should be good
