O well, lets just see how things go. didnt at some point early on the infestor had the ability to infest buildings? though i noticed that has been moved to the corruptors now | ||

Hmm. If splitting Marines against Lurkers is so desired, why don't people split them against Collosi? They both do line splash damage, don't they? Just perpendicular to one another. Because units take just as much, if not even more damage, when they are splitting up against vertical splash. I hope they will change the aoe pattern of colossi, this one makes no sense, all positioning in the world just makes it worse for opponent. | ||

Any capital unit can be mindcontrolled for 10 seconds, enough to turn the tide and use the skills. -Thor (and use the 500 damage dealing skill) -Battlecruiser (use Yamato) -Mothership (Cloak + disable) -Immortals (soaking up damage) -Basicly any unit that is expencive and less in numbers Corruptors can disable mechanical units -Tanks get disabled, you lose ground -Paired with Mutalisks, turrets get disabled in a Corsair Disruption Web manner as Terran, you cant really go bio or mech since Fungal Growth counters bio, whereas Neural Parasite/Corruptor disables mech. | ||

For 100/150, you can remove any single unit from your opponent's army and place it into your own for the duration of a battle, like a slightly less effective mind control that 1) Costs 200/50 less than a mind control per unit and is faster to spawn. 2) Is decreased by 200/200 in research cost and 100% in research speed. 3) Costs 100 less energy and so can be continuously casted (Needs good micro and focus, but can be made to last effectively 30 seconds for the same energy as MC). 4) Does not leave the unit that casted it with 25 hp remaining. I mean sure I don't have beta, which is like the typical disclaimer here, and also I am comparing the stats to that of an SC1 unit that no longer exists but isn't this a problem regardless? Feel free to tell me lol there is a counter, of course. Your infester has to stay alive for it to work. Maybe try using siege tanks and targeting the infesters? I don't think they have high hp. | ||

Yes, the mind control stops working if you can manage to target the infestor. Z has lots of high dps units though (zerglings, as usual, along with roaches and banelings) so you need to choose if you want to target the infestors or the higher dps units. Pretty cool choice really. The unit might be really good(too good?) at certain points in the game becuase of the really hard counter nature of each unit in sc2. But time will tell... | ||

I love the Infestor and I think it will make great possibilities for future pro matches. | ||

As in Brood War with the Lurkers, the attack of the Collossus is single unit targeted. Feeding single Marines/SCV's and spliting Marines back will greatly reduce unit losses. I think it has been demonstrated in one of the Battle Reports. | ||
