EPTPatch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 298
| Forum Index > Closed |
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 | ||

Fungal growth has an effective range of 11 (Range 9 + Radius 2). Get your facts straight before saying someone has flawed game knowledge. | ||

Regarding the Infestor, I'd much prefer changes that would actually make it a support caster, not a self-sufficient killing machine very potent in large numbers. I guess the Neural nerf tries to achieve something like that, but I don't like it that much. | ||

Thors want to be in a choke point while Ultras want to surround to make use of AOE. Its Thor favored as it should be, but a far cry from being disgusting. The build time was the main problem for the Ultra and now that is no longer an issue. It is disgusting. The more Thors, the scarier it is. Try it out with Thors focus firing, the Ultra splash radius is too short to hit multiple Thors. Considering the units cost the same resources and supply, it isn't close at all. | ||

I suspect this is a dramatic change to see how it affects balance, and they'll tone it back if it is too over the top. Likely won't make it through to the actual patch, but I could see them doing something like Neural duration reduced by 50% vs massive units. | ||

Infestor’s Neural Parasite can no longer target Massive units. TT bad news for Dimaga - lings+infestors+ultralisk.  only corruptor vs colossus.ah... thor, battlecruiser and other units. a lot of diversity in the game. i love infestors, love neural parasite. | ||

Also, are there 20 zergs in GSL code S? I feel like it's pretty obvious terran is dominant right now. | ||

Aside from that why are people even seeing the maximum range of fungal as the effective range of fungal, i hope you don't expect zerg to just fungal 1 or 2 units at the edge of the circle. | ||

I think a better change would've been requiring Hive to research Neural, or maybe nerfing the range by 1. Making it altogether unusable on units it was clearly intended to be used on by design seems way overboard to me. Thats actually the zerg MO. Blizzard makes a bunch of units designed for x purpose. Then they nerf it into oblivion so it doesnt fit that purpose anymore (4 nerfs for the infestor) or remove it from the game and we get left with roach ling. | ||

Thors are favored no doubt, but if they are clumped up, ultra splash does kill them easy. At Blizzcon (i think) Blizzard said that Thors are supposed to kill Ultras. Anyway, enough theorycrafting from me :p | ||
