Massing Hydras like that never worked for me. I always used a combo of units.
But... if it was needed... whatever. *hopes for Lurkers*
... boy, I make myself look like a jerk on this site. Sorry! :(
because massing hydralisk will pretty much beat any army you have including massing zealots, zergling, and marines which its supposed to be weak against.
... Why did they reduce the Hydra HP?? It's a Tier 2 unit! Ugh.
