Inhibit != negate.

Forcefields inhibit unit movements, but do not prevent them from moving. They can still move, burrow, blink, load into dropships, etc. Fungal removes micro completely.

Quite a lot of people are blaming warp-gate and the colossus for this games failings: I honestly believe that the single ability/unit skewering the balance in this game the most, at this point, is fungal growth/the infestor.

I would welcome a change - making it slow seems quite appropriate.

Fungal doesn't remove micro completely. You can still attack (and choose what targets to attack), use spells and abilities that are not movement based or transformations, unload units from a transport, and load units into a transport (if within pickup radius).

The only abilities in SC2 (WoL) that remove micro completely are Vortex, Graviton Beam, and 250mm Strike Cannons, with the last 2 being single target abilites that only work on certain targets.

I think he means it doesnt negate micro in the same way.

Forcefields you can micro out of with certain abilities, or with massive units.

Fungal is definite. It is singular and set. No amount of anything allows you to get away from a chain fungal if the zerg has energy.

75 damage plus a snare would be way overpowered considering storm is eighty damage and no snare o.O

Perhaps increase the area but make fungal a channeling spell. 3s warning to move out of the area?

Three seconds is way too long. Every unit which is faster than a BC would easily be out of harm's way.

a lengthy ensare would be actually pretty cool ala statis from bw - but then one of fungal growths abilities is slowing down armies so idk.

You obviously don't play Terran XD

Replacing rooting with ensnaring would give the player to avoid or minimize damage from the 2nd fungal.

But zergs won't want fungal to change, because they need infestors to be this powerful to keep balance where it is. So whenever proposing infestor nerfs, you have to include other zerg buffs to compensate.

The problem is that infestors right now are too versatile and good to ever even think about not making them. That is bad for the diversity of the game. Buff some unused zerg stuff (like the hydra!) and you will see more interesting unit compositions.

If you're going to nerf infestors you need to give ultras their speed upgrade back.

I thought the Blizz made the speed upgrade free...

Edit: Yes they did. See patch 14. What are you talking about -_-;;
