Lets see shall we

Grunt: The minecraft zombies may have more health but they can't compare with the speed and agressivness of the LFD infected who are provoked by even the tinyest of things whether it be a car alarm, a chainsaw revving up or and alarm. Edge Infected

The Ranged Attacker: The smoker won't be very effective in this battle seeing as how the the mobs (besides the skeleton and zombie) would easily be able to break out ( or in the creepers case explode out) and leave the phisically weak smoker to face it's wrath. The Skeleton on the other hand will do allot of damage to the infected since it's arrows will do alot of damage and woulden't allow some of the other infected (namley the boomer and spitter) to get close enough to use thier attacks. Edge Mobs

The Trap: The ghast wins this simply because it doesn't have to touch the ground which means that it can't be affected by the spitters acid. However other members of the mobs could be affected by the spitters acid and when the spitter dies it will leave behind a puddle of acid which could do extra damage to the enemy that killed it if they were not expecting it. But in this particular member match up it loses out. Edge Mobs

The Provoked: The witch is the infected's trump card. It is so vicious and unpredictable and because it just lloks like a normal crying woman untill you provoke it the mobs would be caught off guard by it. With it's one hit kill capablity it could decimate the mobs troops if they kept running into it and with it's high health it would be a constant threat. I've seen teams who run towards at tank rather than disturb a witch cause it's that dangerouse. The enderman does have the ability to break free of the hunter and smokers grips because of thier teleportation but they just can't compare to the witch. Edge Infected

The Suicider: The creeper easily takes this. The boomer's explosion is not at all very damaging it's real danger lies in the fact that it can attract common infected to attack the victim who is covered in bile and momentarily blind the enenmy. However in the context its in it can only attract the infected that are already on the battle field which doesn't have the same effect as attracting a whole new horde. This could also be a hinderance as it would stop the common infected from attacking any other enemy they were attacking before because they could be attracted to the boomer bile which gives the mobs time to catch thier bearings and prepare for another attack. The creeper just plain out kills it's victim which will be much mroe useful in the long run because it can take out multiple enemies at once and has a higher health than the boomer. Edge Mobs

The Crawler: The hunter will win this simply because of the deadliness of it's main attack and its stealthiness. The spider (and the other mob members) won't know it's ready to attack until it's too late because unlike the other infected the hunter doesn't make a coughing, roaring or crying noise which would give away it's position. It will pin down it's victim and rip out all of it's flesh, internal organs and bones untill it is satified you are dead and then rinse and repeat making it a very deadly and silent threat. Edge Infected

The Strongman: This is a very close match up. While the slime is not completly rabid with rage, does damage on impact and can split into multiple versians when damaged badly the tank is more aggressive, has a ranged attack and is stronger. The tank will probeley be more useful in the fighting against other member of the mob because it can scatter them about with it's strength and its determination to kill anyything it sees as a threat and this is why it wins this match up. In the long run it will be a more dangerous opponents against the whole group where as the slime won't be quite as effective because it is hit once then it will split which could make it easier for the other infected to attack it because it is in smaller and easier to handle chunks rather than one big monstorsity. Edge Infected

I'm gonna go with the infected on this one. What really wins this for them is tank's strength, ability to split up a group of the mobs quite easily and it's duribility, the witches pure power and the unexpectedness of it attacking, the spitters very damaging acid spit and the hunters stealth and ferociousness. The Mobs do have some good members as well such as the skeleton with its range advantage over the infected, the ghast with it's abilities to fly and fire fireball at enemies,the creeper with its highly powerful explosion and the enderman's ability to teleport out of the smokers and hunters grip but they just don't stack up the infected especilly because the infected often have to work to together to attack and kill the survivors make thier teamwork skills and while the mobs do work together they don't seem to depend on each other as much as the infected which ehlps them to work together better knowing that they need to work together as opposed to makes it easier to work together.
