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 | ||

Considering the units cost the same resources and supply, it isn't close at all. Dude, I think Thors will be the least of your problems if the NP nerf goes through. Seriously dude, Thors are only worth it vs mutas in TvZ. Marauders are way more cost effective vs ultras while Thors can be raped with ling counters. | ||

Any timing pushes with colossus are gonna be a nightmare before T3 is out for the Zerg, and personally i refuse to make either corruptors or hydras, a disgrace to the Zerg those 2 units. With the maybe rework for corruptor that may or may not come with HotS, i can see this neural nerf somehow working out, but right now, this will make me quit Zerg if that goes through. | ||

This is silly, feedbacking hts is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard of. Neural parasite isn't instant cast, which means you have to be in range, in which case you are also in range of feedback, then neural, then select it and feedback shit before he hits 1f and clicks on the infestor. | ||

With a view like that, no wonder you're having trouble. You should keep an open mind. One of Murphys law's states: "If its stupid, but it works, its not stupid".

Can't speak for ZvT, but in ZvP, immortals will be a lot more used now that they are potent again. Immortals can be neural parasited, and they do SICK damage to other protoss units  | ||

This is really only going to matter against 4 units in the game IMO thor, ultra, collosus, archon. I think its a huge buff for protoss, and it might even make mech much more viable against a good zerg opponent. Lets test this out on the ptr and see how much it changes. | ||

Makes mothership viable in PvZ aswell. Mothership is really, really, REALLY good against zerg if there wasn't NP. | ||

Otherwise, I feel like nothing else is worth neuraling and this spell will become obsolete if the change goes through | ||

Im not having trouble, cause i got neural parasite to deal with timing pushes, works just fine. And it is stupid, but it doesnt work. How did those Roach hydra Corruptor Metagame times work out for Zvp? Exactly it didnt work out exactly good, with 80 % of the Zergs QQing, including people like Idra. The only one i recently saw making roach corrupter work was Mondragon who streamed 2 days ago, then again it mostly worked cause of nonstop drops everywhere, together with pushes at different locations, with sick macro behind it. | ||

They're going to be much more used from now on considering their +1 range. | ||
