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

Have they seriously not thought of the logic of the neural parasite change?

Why on earth would you ever want to NP a unit that ISN'T massive?

Eliminating Colossi, Thors and Archons is around about 90% of all things you NP.

Tanks and Immortals are the only things left, are very situational, and are probably not worth the research.

of course protosses have used feedback a lot, it didn't change that infestors were still too good even with feedback

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??


The speed at which lings die to colossus is stunning, so no... this doesn't work.


Well ofcourse! I meant do the "suicide corruptors to kill collosus" into surrounding the blink stalkers with lings and fungal... Is that possible? Or do corruptors die too quickly and it costs too much?

spread out your HT, toss has got into the habit of just making one giant ball. when you're at the part where opponent has 6-10 broodlords, you obviously have a lot of high tier units yourself. you will be able to spread out your ball to at least two and still be cost effective. then your HT spread out between the two balls and cast feedbacks.

terrans can just spread out ghosts, cloak & EMP.

zergs learned the hard way to spread out their infestors too against good HT users. why can't toss learn to use HT properly?

O.O at the neural Parasite change and I'm Protoss.

I'd rather they try curtail 220-240 food armies that zerg glitch to by using the spine/spore cancel than totally nerf the infestor into the ground.

Changes to 1.4 PTR have been posted:

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/1213111662

Changes are italicized.

Copy+Paste from the closed thread:
I tried to compile the updates:

Infestor’s Neural Parasite can no longer target Massive units.

Custom maps with dependencies containing trigger libraries will now load significantly faster in the editor.

Fixed an issue where at the end of a replay the leaving player’s Average APM would set to 0.

Fixed an issue where Bunkers would not display their refunded minerals to the owner or allies when they are salvaged.


Fixed an issue where Broodlords on the high ground would not be revealed when attacking enemy units on the low ground.

Fixed an issue where closing the editor while the previewer is recording would crash the Editor.


It looks like the Broodlord high ground advantage got fixed:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=252693

And of course there is the obligatory Bunker change.

I can see this change being justified in ZvP...but ZvT 0o? It seemed like Zerg needed Neural to beat Terran Mech ;o

In late game zerg already has a disadvantage due to queens taking up about 10 supply which means zerg max food will be 10 workers less or 10 army supply less.

Then zerg's units are incredibly cost ineffective the bigger the ball gets with the exception of units which actually have range like the broodlord and hydra. Unfortunately these 2 units are cost ineffective when their counters are deployed on the field unlike units like collosus and high templars which are still devastatingly cost effective even when corruptors or vikings are used.

And now with this neural parasite nerf, if it goes through, i think most zergs will just be all inning every game before the game gets to late

Mech! Rollin' out!

NP is going to seem a little pointless now. The Terran part of me is happy...the Starcraft part of me is not really. But it is just PTR. We'll see how it goes!

I don't understand the nerf by itself. If they decreased its mana cost or allowed it to be cast while burrowed it could be understandable but as it is they just made is virtually useless in competitive games. I think with this change they should remove the research for it at the very least... very strange.

you can't the corruptor don't do enought dps to kill collosis. you have to attack with you unit to force the toss to make his stalker attack the ground unit

then your reaction time is slow if he got to run away. he just casted his fungal first as opposed to you casting your feedback first.

your argument is the same as a zerg saying that fungal is useless cause toss casts feedback first on his/her infestors.

I think this could be too huge even for me toss player. I say lower range by one or fungal wont stop massive units like massive units break forcefields.

Hmmm... this should really be coupled with a nerf to ghosts aswell, or there's going to be serious issues in tvz.

NP was an overpowered spell imo when you could get it off. You literally gain control of units much more expensive than your own infestors and turn it against them. Doesn't seem fair to me. Also the range is ridiculously long so it's actually pretty difficult to stop because blinking into them is just suicide sometimes. I don't like the spell the way it was with the range it was given. Range reduction might have been a better nerf.
