EPTBut I think going another way would maybe be better like hivetech for NP + shorter range. I dont really se NP ever gonna be resarched vs protoss anymore.

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 | ||

Zerg isnt supposed to go mass infestors its supposed to be a support unit not a unit to mass and with mass fungals + NP on all collosus or archons was way to good.

Otherwise, I feel like nothing else is worth neuraling and this spell will become obsolete if the change goes through Protoss would love to take your obsolete spell in trade of......2 completely obsolete units. stephano did it to some other top tier protoss (maybe mana) and he rolled him over with it. Stephano made something like 15-20 infestors | ||

Stephano made something like 15-20 infestors the amount of times you see another zerg with mass infestors, and the person is not destiny is probably like 100 games to 1. Also 2 obsolete units is more that colossi/storm is just way better then carriers, and if this change goes through then mothership won't be useless at all PvZ. | ||

Zergs will have to fungal+carpet bane the colossi balls, which is powerful enough as is. I think neural was cool, but in the current state of the game it'll be a welcome help which will allow protoss to win some games vs zergs. vs terran I don't know, perhaps it'll make mech op. It's a minor change anyway, even if neuraling massive units was the major use of neural, most of the time it wasn't needed to win. | ||

Also what was not fair about infestors taking over battlecruisers/carriers/broodlords? Imo the change should only affect Colossi/Thors, everything more than that basically makes neural parasite useless in most real game scenarios. | ||

We will just get rolled since we don't have any anti caster like a ghost or HT who can take the energy away from the mothership. If this change goes through Zerg will have it nearly impossible to win in lategame vs Protoss. Also what was not fair about infestors taking over battlecruisers/carriers/broodlords?

Infestors kill most of toss units with the same number of shots. | ||

Fungal + Roach and laugh your way to victory And archons are 300 gas. Remember that zerg has a superior economy and protoss needs to be cost effective to have a chance. | ||

I'm really really happy with this patch, can't complain about a thing and the neural parasite nerf is absolutely brilliant. It was one of the things that made nerf alittle OP, NP'ing collo's and archons our anchor unit would just end up with toss' armies getting owned. | ||

I definitely don't think this the case for Terran, MANY of their units are multi purpose / utility. Very few of them have "specific" uses. I don't understand why you would try to take away from the game to fix balance issues. Just makes the game more stale imo - NPs are awesome to watch in a big battle and quite micro intensive compared to say... corruptors :/ | ||

You can still NP tanks + the "NP'ed units retain upgrades" fix should make it still quite scary. Add in the blueflame nerf, and the fact that Mech is still immobile as shit, and it should be ok | ||

Haha the ultimate diss in SC would be if np becomes useless, then in some game a ZERG builds a manner nexus! | ||
