Patch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 308

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 think the possibility that the Neural nerf comes with the patch is near zero%. The patches have been of good quality lately, why would Blizzard risk that with the worst change they've tried in at least a year? edit: Have just read the post above mine. So they've already removed that change. | ||

The problem with infestor isn't that it's powerful - but rather that it's the only powerful unit zerg have.(you can always state things such as bane drops, but these are just tactics) In ZvP Zerg don't make anything else then mass infestors simply because they're the only option available. Nerfing the infestor just to get people to use it less is wrong, because there aren't a lot of other options on the table right now. Nerfing it while somehow increasing the effectiveness of other units against the death ball - that's the way it should go. | ||

Read "thor heavy compositions". And siege tanks won't smart target infestors when there are roaches attacking around. I suggest you try meching and you might realize how this has been a problem. | ||

It's a little sad that this problem often occurs if blizzard releases a new patch. Something ist just useless then. I dont like the fact that half of the abilities or units in a game arent used in anyway. | ||

Infestor counters Colossus, Ht counters infestor ( it ONE HITS them ffs for 50 energy from 9 range, thats the hardest hardcounter you can get) So when protoss scouts Infestors, and proceeds to build lots of Colossus instead of HTs, then gets ownd by neural, that makes it OP? What the actual fuck is that logic? Just replace unit and race names with different names, to get more and equally retarded statements like: So when Zerg scouts Blue Flame Hellions and proceeds to build lots of lings isntead of roaches, then gets owned by hellions, that makes it OP? Scout and adapt and dont build units that your oponnent has the counter to, this is the most simple thing about this game, but appearently protoss dont like that, and want to build colossus anyway no matter what happens. | ||

If there is a problem that zerg is too weak without it, I would prefer to see zerg buffed in other ways rather than having one unit that has super strong abilities that are game changing at any and all stages and points of the game. | ||

Nowadays I personally use ghosts as my main anti BL unit and only make a couple vikings just to sweeten the deal. | ||
