in response to CoR: there are a few tools in the protoss arsenal that just aren't being used to full potential for example: KiWiKaKi's use of the mothership for recall vs Stephano in IPL3 MVP.finale's use of voidrays to deal with broodlords and infestors use of double warp prism WITH DTS + ZEALOTS. I cannot make it clear enough how important it is to mix these I am a high masters zerg and still lose to protoss in the lategame. Some know how to deal with it, some don't. Those with mindsets like yours that you can just sit back and wait until it's balanced are wasting their time. | ||

THAT BEING SAID I feel that too often players will look at a game and just say oh yeh BL infestor is OP when in fact the zerg outplayed the opponent, dealt with harass well and took a great victory. My opinion is just making infestors 3 supply that way you cant get 40 infestors and still have a good BL/corruptor count | ||

I voted the same, as I feel lots of people seem to forget that there are ways of dealing with infestor BL. and terran- viking splits, seeker missile, ghost emp, harass. Infestor BL can definitely be beaten if the right counters are executed well. | ||

Infestor BL can definitely be beaten if the right counters are executed well. I think one of the main problems is that yes, Infestor BL may be countered. But the level of skill required to pull off Infestor BL seems to be far lower than what is required to counter it from protoss and especially from terran. There might be something within the current confines of the game from the other races that is roughly the same amount of skill and power as late game zerg but it remains hidden as of yet. | ||

More about picking maybe: I am 80% sure that it's OP against Terran, because there's so little you can do. If you siege your tanks to zone infestors, you get screwed over by broodlings who now explode on impact and deal splash damage. Even well split vikings get owned because of fungals (which aren't exactly scarce when you have so many infestors and it only costs 75 energy), and if your army is dead because of fungals then infested terrans will help do the job. Any excess vikings will easily get cleaned up by corruptors. Not to mention Queens which are anti air and make another broodlord for 50 energy. The only thing I see which might work is Ghosts, but I feel that the EMP range is too small for it to really be effective, leaving you to use snipes which, while not bad, is not favorable and I honestly feel that a Zerg who's ontop of his stuff will keep 1-2 overseers around his army and just kill the ghosts with brood lords before it can really get anything done, and even if they can always just fungal to reveal. Actually forgot about Ravens. I guess those could also work, but they'd be better with just a slight buff IMO (just like how Ghosts probably need some kind of minor buff for Terrans to be able to combat BL-Infestor). | ||

There'is a reason why it's in the game. If there was a massive design flaw, it would have been fixed already.. Maybe just take off the energy thing. that's the only nerf it needs. While we're at it, why dont we buff ultras too? | ||
