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 | ||

Catz's mic is a bit super loud tho so.. Yeah. Be warned, lol. I'm sorry, but destiny even being grandmaster is testiment to infestors being overpowered. Make this guy play _any_ other zerg playstyle and he's terrible. He has quit his job to stream, and his level of play is centered around his one-trick-pony playstyle, so he has everything to lose and he's biased as hell. | ||

Neural really isn't the problem. It's the fact that HT's are the slowest caster and extremely vulnerable. Plus they can't cloak or burrow. It seems like all blizz wants is for toss to go colossus every game =/ | ||

All the infestor play made the matchup on both sides more micro intensive and fragile. zerg: infestor micro - infestors are fragile as shit (like they should be) positioning and when/how to engage was crucial in success. protoss: they had to be more aware of when to engage. P couldn't A-Move anymore, they had to scout ahead, templar, blink micro, move collosi out, phx lifting infestors etc. etc. With this change they revereted the ZvP meta game back 6 months. It's going to be P deathball a-moving around while Z guesses how many corrupters to really make without them being useless. It's boring. Part of the reason BW was great was because so much shit was overpowered so if you messed up at any point you could lose. Micro, positioning and the overall skill involved in ZvP/PvZ was just hit with a bat, fucking ridiculous. | ||

But you don't even need ghosts anymore because infestors are so gimped. You don't even need HT because you can just collo deathball again. -random | ||

Regardless of muta or infestor tech, thors can actually do something before ghosts are out! This is a great change, and I think it will have repercussions in zvp too I dont understand your post, what infestor timing relied on NP? unless your talking about the FG damage change, but that doesn't seem to make sense in your context. | ||

I haven't read all the pages since the patch updates were released. Has this been discussed? While small, I have had problems with this, on Shakuras, for instance. Another slight buff for toss and terran (albeit a small one). | ||

i think this kind of a backwards change, anyway. i'd rather see massive units immune to fungal's root than i want to see massive units immune to NP, but i don't think i want to see either of those changes atm. | ||

I've watched too much of Morrow's play to have any sort of respect for the arguments these guys are making. edit: God help us when they balance the game on the advice of people who are financially motivated to have an imbalanced game. Yes, Destiny and Catz won 5 GSL, 6 MLGs anda random Dreamhack here and there by using "imba" infestors and "imba" neural parasite.... Please if you don't have anything smart to say, don't say anything at all. You post is just insulting those people. | ||

I don't see it as a question of whether or not the Infestor is an imbalanced unit so much as what is the point of Neural Parasite if it can't be used on units worth being used on. Anyone can comment on that, so why not a TL featured streamer? | ||

Fungal was yeah...Ghosts were talked about ALOT! How much did people talk about flux vanes when they were removed? Try none. Are you upset that it was removed? I bet not... its called foresight on the part of blizzard. Neural parasite pretty much nullified these expensive units. If they went infestor (which they ALL do now) you couldnt go thor or colossus at all. Im glad that the unit that is ridiculously strong against twilight tech/stargate tech/robo tech is now a little bit weaker against twilight and robo tech. Versus terran siege tanks were always a better NP target anyways. Didnt you say you were quitting sc2 a few pages back too? I wish you would just follow through with that. Based on how you wrote your "I quit" post I dont think you could possibly be competitive in anything in life, let alone a game like starcraft. Seriously... if you can't figure out how to win with zerg YOU are doing something wrong... you don't lack any tools, you lack skill. | ||
