Since this whole topic degenerated into the usual balance flamefest where every topic ends up if unmoderated it's time for it to clean up. Locking this down for a while. Any posts made after my post [page 233] not addressing the changes in this patch directly and containting flames or general balance whine will get banned for at least a week. ~Nyovne There is way too much flaming in this thread right now. Calm down before you post! (Page 271) ~iamke55 | ||

Make my idea happen Blizzard, corruption should decrease the rate of fire 50%  I've always thought neural parasite was terrible, and I never relied on it so it won't affect me that much if it really happens. But I wonder if the change will go through because the whole spell is utterly pointless, other than for maybe vikings I have no idea why I would even research it. Why put this in the PTR if they aren't really going to change it though? i'd be okay with 50% tbh only on massives tho i dont want my stalkers to shoot once a year | ||

As it stands, feedback is at a disadvantage due to one less effective range. Alternatively, increase the speed of HTs slightly to allow for better positioning to feedback on reaction. Personally I think FB should have the biggest range out of all the spells in that it is concentrated on 1 unit. Imagine Ghost vs. HT. FB with a greater range could prevent EMP, but to much FB results in fewer storms. EMP on the other hand can prevent storms. And Storm is what actually kill clumps of units. It makes the interaction more interesting and it doesn;t change much at the lower levels due to the fact that most lower level people don't ever take advantage of the full range of their casters. | ||

You're saying you can't spam fungal the army while staying away from the protoss units that literally can't move? Are you saying you can't neural parasite immortals? Oh, are you saying colossi are good against brood lords? Oh, perhaps you think baneling drops aren't cost effective on stalker balls, but the math proves you wrong, search it. Oh, maybe you meant that zerg isn't ahead on resources normally? Your post is possibly the most idiotic thing that occurs on this forum: not reading and just denying everything flat out. First of all, hydras may be decent against archons, but they get literally torn apart by storms and colossus. How exactly do you spam fungal the army when colossus outrange fungal? And when stalkers can blink ahead and pick off all of your infestors? Carriers are just a bad unit. Also, it may be true that NP'ing a mothership makes it useless for protoss, but if you are suggesting zerg kills protoss by spam fungaling the army, then why is it unreasonable that protoss players be expected to micro the mothership? Especially with the acceleration buff, it shouldn't be hard to keep it behind your army. | ||

Corrupters are hard to work with imo, if you over make them just in the slightest the real threat becomes the blink stalkers, if you under produce them the colo stay alive and roll your ground. It's tough to find a good balance, infestors are so much more reliable. Will be very interesting to see if this goes through, the damage reduction on fungal is totally warranted but I'm not sure if the neural change is. I don't play zerg at any reasonable level, but what about Corruptor Ling Infestor? Lings + even weakened fungal should be enough to take on the stalkers you are worried about, correct? I do realize it is extremely gas heavy, but because you aren't using infestor for Neural, you're not gonna need as many... I don't agree with the change neccessarily, but would the Unit comp I stated above work?? | ||

They don't want people solely massing infestors, which many people were, so they nerfed it to not be a cure-all. In return, they buffed ultras to make them a more legitimate late game option, and buffed overseers to detect the invisible stuff that zergs had previously been using mass infestors to fungal. They want unit diversity! If it turns out that those buffs aren't enough, they will give zergs more! Plain and simple! | ||

So glad ^_^ Keeping colossus alive nowadays is hard enough but having them stolen (and unable to blink and kill the infestors due to fungal root) was too good against our tech. Bad logic. If your complaint is that a 2 food unit can kill a 6 food unit, what about the fact that a 6 food unit can kill 30 supply of zerg units? | ||

So zvp usage of infestors might drop a lot as neural is almost completely pointless, Mech is now 10000 times stronger as no more neural parasiting thors (easier to get the thors then tanks as tanks have such long seige). Should be interesting. I'm coming for your ladder points blade! | ||
