Terran seems decent at anti air O_o. I mean, Vikings are really good at anti air. I have no idea what you mean when you say Terran suck at anti air. If anything, Protoss sucks at anti air.
...when I say Protoss, I mean against Mutralisks. They can't do crap against a good Mutra rush. Ground units do lousy damage, and the only thing they can rely on are Photon cannons, but that means Protoss won't be able to expand into other bases due to Mutralisks harassing them there. Void Rays are too high up on the tech tree, plus they do lousy damage against Mutralisks due to constantly having to reload their missile....thingy all of the time. Phoenixes (I think they're called Phoenixes) do jack damage unless with Overload, but if you happen to have not a lot of Phoenixes, Mutralisks can still rip you with shreds. Carriers are the only reliable counter, but again, they're too high up the tech tree.
Creep tumors are meh. They're just like the old Sunken Colonies, except they can't attack. Plus they waste the energy of your Queen (your queen could be spawning larva instead).
Zvz...yeah. Roaches and hydras will beat zerglings and mutralisks, sadly.
RIP Lurkers. Blizzard should not have gotten rid of them.
Uh...you really haven't played SC at all, have you? Void Rays are for buildings and high HP units. Carriers are terrible at fighting fast massed units. Phoenixes are lower on the tech tree hit Mutas for 20(+4) damage per shot, meaning unupgraded Phoenixes kill Mutas in 6 shots. They're also faster than Mutas... Protoss has decent ground ranged units such as Stalkers. Terran has nothing but your standard Marines, and the expensive Thors. Vikings are pretty good at fighting air, I guess.
What's overload? Phoenixes only have one ability called Gravitation beam, which lifts a ground unit into the air and renders it useless.
Queens don't need that much energy. Spawning additional larva costs 25 energy. They regen energy at a really fast rate, and you can always just make some more queens if you need more energy. All I'm saying is, with 3 Hatcheries and a Queen at each Hatchery, I can't make units fast enough to need more Larva. Creep tumors are also self propagating (each one can spawn an additional one, so you only need to make a couple as long as your enemy isn't hunting each one down). They're not like Sunks at all. Spine Crawlers do what Sunks did. These things are practically free. If you still ned more creep, OVERLORDS can generate creep now. Holy pomegranate.
The hacked beta was all over the internet a few days ago, guys. You can't play actual people, just AI, so it's really only good for trying out the new units. Just Google it, because the links that I found have been taken down already.
