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 | ||

No more ling + infestor every ZvP finally, the old corruptor/roaches/(add banelings too!) deals with stalker/sentry/colossus well with early gas unit trades. Zerg just have to be aggressive instead of ling + infestor turtle mode into Broodlord. Zerg's are way better now with perfect drone and inject timings. Look at Coca vs Huk, 200/200 army at what 12min mark? | ||

Don't be worried about you losing your winning strike over this. As a Zerg player who recently switched into protoss, I experienced the pain of having to deal with a unit who would Counter massive units Counter air units Counter light units Kill workers on a massive scale (although zerg already has a baneling drops) break down the front wall using infested terran Punish blink and having to deal with infestor drops that would clear my main and much of my army with free infested terrans. It was my right to object to this situation and now that they've noticed it, im happy. thank you blizzard. | ||

1. NP should not work on momaship. 2. NP should work on Colo, from reading this thread people have tested it on ptr and its not in place. 3. Fungal needed nerfed. I actually still think fungal itself is a problem, that much dmg and stun is op. Make it slow. Right now a zerg can rush to about 15 infestor with a shitload of spines and be safe against anything. 4. All you zerg are complaining about how shitty Corrupters are. WTF IS THIS. Corrupters are no better than vikings, wait, are just as good as vikings. Terran have to make them to kill colo, so why should you be able to skip out. The only reason protoss doesn't coutner colo with air is because we just outmass colo. When you see colo, making a handfull of air units is standard. I hate that zerg think they shouldn't have too. I see soo many zerg going 'after the colo is dead we have 700 minerals/gas wasted. NO YOU DONT. You have spent 700/700 to kill like 1k/1k. And they can still turn into broods after. If were going colo and we dont have blink/vr and you can get to broods. Its gg. TLDR: Infestors will still be good, dont complain about having to use corrupters, because your going for late broods anyway with your infestors....Ling/Infestor to Roach/Infestor/Corrupter to Roach/Infestor/Broods will just be the new thing. Nothing will change. You might have to slow your tech a bit. Oh Wells. EDIT: Terran still needs nerfed. No Ghost or Marauder change is very sad. Second Edit: I know i mentioned ghost/rauder needing nerfed, because i think solotuion to 1/1/1 requires some additional thought, and will wait to see the immortal change with the +5 seconds. | ||

Imagine a Protoss trying to win with mass stalker and high templar? It looks like with this, and the Ultras, Blizzard actually wants zerg to tech to tier 3 before winning. Zerg compositions are always going to feature less variety because the Zerg army doesn't have as many compositions that overlap effectively. Roaches gas costs weakens mutalisk balls, roach + ling is inferior to roaches if the enemy has splash damage, hydras aren't often worth the cost/tech cost over roaches or lings. Sure there's now better ultras making tier 3 better, but if someone is making ultras they need infestors as well so you're trading infestor/roach for late game infestor/ultra/ling which isn't that much deeper. There's just simply not enough specialization (by design mind you) in the Zerg army to commonly see 4-5 unit compositions. Especially since most units need several upgrades or out of the way tech buildings to be made (unlike stalkers and sentries which are immediately usable). Zerg army relies more on simpler compositions with more sweeping unit changes (like roach/infestor to broodlord/infestor). | ||

Yeah its less of a NP all the 6 food units you have and then I win kind of scenario. Because lets be honest, having to not make units to kill the collossi and instead NPin them and letting them kill themselves is kind of frustrating | ||

Then BAM hive tech and your behind a base with no map control. Infestor is simply to versatile of caster in its current state.... | ||

With Overseer cost down, scouting should be easier. Cool. When are Protoss going to be forced to scout instead of 3 base deathballing every game, since that counters everything Zerg has. Not surprising you're eager for the old days of Roach/Hydra/Corruptor to return considering how easy it was for Protoss to win against it. | ||

Seriously Blizzard, listen to this feedback, please. 9/10 people do not want the NP change to go through. It will break the game if it does. | ||

This game is so much more complicated than your simple mind can wrap itself around. You're just insulting the forum readers including me and there is no one here to punish you for it. Yes, that is what I said. You just repeated what I initially said and tried to make it look funny, it doesn't seem funny to me, it a point and you haven't come up with a counter argument against it. | ||

Should balance pvz a little bit, and force zerg to do a bit more creative play than just mindlessly going ling/infestor every game (sup destiny?) Ghosts on the other hand....... | ||

This game is a joke and its because of stagnant play like toss who think all they should ever need to make are collosus / stalker. | ||
