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

I would love to read the reasoning behind the neural parasite nerf. It certainly does make mech terran that much stronger.

As a Protoss player, I definitely believe that massive units being neural parasited is too much of a huge nerf. What I really think should happen is that air units can no longer be neural parasited (or if even that is too much, massive air units cannot be neuraled). This change I would REALLY want because "seriously, how can an infestor's tentacle reach infinite distance in the sky".

On the other hand, TERRAN itself REALLY needs a giant nerf into crazy oblivion. With crazy amounts of EZ marines they can rape early game so hard for protoss and yet their MULEs make them pretty crazy ... =/

Maybe it was getting a little ridiculous that zerg only had to make buffed up roaches and infestors to beat a deathball of colossus, stalkers, zealots, and high temps?

Yeah, because protoss is doing extremely well atm, both vZ & vP.

Also, please read the warning on top lol.

This change just makes the "lol turtle deathball" so much more stupid vZ, and you think that is a great change?

I absolutely love it ;>.
It's just ridiculous to see some zergs just go mass infestor versus everything, yet still winning with it tt.

We'll have to see if it impacts it the way you say it will.

This has to be a joke, otherwise blizzard has no CLUE what balance means.


I haven't seen a deathball win a match PvZ in month at korean-pro level.

Pre patch no one was using infestaor because fungal was "useless & you can't NP colossi because of range"
After patch everyone starting to go full infester fungal like crazy & discover they actually NP colossi.
Now Toss can do shit with colossi each time you make one, chance of being NP are 80 %.

idd like every pvz now is freaking protoss vs mass infestors... Personally i think this change is really reasonable, it was more than needed, infestors were ( and currently are ) op

The problem here isn't that the infestor is too strong, it's that the infestor is way stronger then anything else the zerg has to offer. They're just to flexible and powerful to not have in your army, thus making any hydra or corrupters needless.

NP can still be used on tanks, and the traditional mech opener (BFH harass) was nerfed quite a bit, so I think it could balance itself out. Even if it ends up being a buff overall, I personally wouldn't mind mech becoming a viable option to the old marine/tank.

honestly, if its massive air units you're worried about, i think the mothership could use something similar to the ultra that makes it immune to neural.

i wouldnt worry too much about carriers being neuraled because the range of the remaining carriers means if we have one or two less infestors, our neural'ing infestors will go down to the interceptors.. IF you target them..

What? Show me one game where that happens. I assume the High Templars are A moving and the Colossus are on move command? Because both of those units can easily stop NP from having any lasting effect at all.

Storm, Feedback, a single volley from colo........ all wipe out infestors. Especially when we're talking about pure roach/infestor.

NP and colossus have the same range (same with feedback, and storm is close), and all it takes is 1 volley to wipe out all of the Z's gas investment.

There are some hard 2 base pushes at around 15 minutes with thor/hellions and some scvs to repair, the normal answer to this would be roach/infestor with np which isn't possible anymore.
Ofc in lategame bls are an option.
