If terran gets raven viking banshee and 15+ widow mines, how do you stop it as zerg?

He would engage in the best places and I couldn't attack him because the widow mines that traveled with his army prevented my corrupterss from getting close enough, he was also able to snipe dozens of overseers and i couldn't afford to keep making enough.


Even making a few brood lords to snipe the massive amounts of mines didn't work.

I remaxed several times with combinations of corruptor, hydra, infestor, but I couldn't get anything to work.

He had planetaries, tanks, turrets, and widows in his 3 bases and it was literally impossible to get in and do any harass.

oh he opened blue flame, so lings were completely useless

he also had a planetary next to his natural blocking the ramp with 5 or so tanks and widow mine, sensor towers and turrets/mines. It was impossible to get into the base, seriously.

Edit: I guess my question is this - what is the best composition? I tried remaxing several different ways and it all just melted. The seeker missles never even hit, it was the offensive mines and baiting that got me

I managed to kill his army once when I caught it in a corner but the front was unbreakable.

maybe look at the advice from that guy in the "How do I use widow mines" thread

I haven't tried it yet, but sending in a wall of overlords in front of your army as decoys seems to be pretty fucking smart

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
