don't, they are fucking shit against players with a brain.

They are awesome for drops vs P or Z, for TvT when used in conjunction with a missile turret, and in TvZ for anti-muta.

i played 3 games against terran in HOTS

I dont see how zerglings work against them

I tried to run single zerglings into them one after another (which is a joking amount of apm use in comparison to doing nothing after burrowing the mines)
maybe roaches work? idont know...

I tried overseers,, and they just 2 shot the overseer.. i cant come close at all , wtf do i do ??

and how long is the cooldown on their attack?

40 second CD.
And welcome to Terran micro.

the guy i played had 180 apm while i was on 260 apm

this isn't WoL
in Hots, terran is 1. way easier, 2. zerg has viper now which means more apm as well (3 new spells)

you guys are crying about zerg op since I left this shitty subforum half a year ago.. americans....

oh no the 5 range unit 2 shots an 11 detection range overseer, how do you manage

burrow widow mines in your army and behind it and bait engagements and retreat into them

watch clusters of banelings/speedlings die

im not sure vs terran or protoss

my problem was just that i didn't know the cooldown on their attacks, so i figured I should fuck shit up rather fast, and it didn't feel like 40 seconds cooldown

so I slipped my shit and overseers just die.

vs Terran you can combine them with a missile turret to kill a dropship before it can land units with speed boost. vs Protoss you do drops since vs P or Z they AoE 1 shot workers.

if you really really want to attack a terran, get the speed upgrade for overlords and send them in first to absorb the widow mines

also widow mines will appear briefly before they actually attack so if you spot it fast enough you can run away before it shoots you or seperate the closest unit to the widow mine since it will target it
