I don't think this changes much. If the problem was lategame, then this doesn't fix that. It makes Fungal useless on Sentries and Archons, but the problem was in lategame where the main units are Stalkers, Colossi, Archons, and air. This is purely from a PvZ perspective.

Terrible changes ... Why not to nerf the imba forcefields too?? They last for too long .. Steampack for marines also shouldn't last that long either ..

This patch addresses some of the issues of the late game between match ups, but have several problems they create than solve.

Lets assume that Blizzard wants to fix the composition: Broodlord, infestor, corruptor, queens.

Since I can only speak for TvZ, I would propose:
-ravens do not get affected by fungle

It would allow Terrans a way to:
-pick off retreating infestors efficiently
-punish clumped corruptors effectively

These two inability of the Toss and Terrans is most frustrating to watch.

So the reason behind them choosing immune psionic is that lategame different spellcasters "gets fungaled". If they wanna make the anti-infestorspells more viable, why not just increase the range of snipe and feedback?

Though I feel fungal is fundamentally broken, this is what we got. and if my slow ass HT's get immobalized they can at least fight back for a little longer time, the same for ghosts. And snipe have already been nerfed to trash against everything but spellcasters, so i don't think they will start sniping BLs again.

And if they want this to matter more in the lategame, make the snipe/feedback range an upgrade.

Regarding the mothership I think fungal should never have worked on massive units in the first place. It just looks really dumb when a BC is suddly not movable because of green goo..

This change is also a buff to the sentry-immortal allin in PvZ. I'm not a huge fan of that.

The Infestor nerf is wrong. I do agree that the balance around infestors need to change, however the infestor its self is fine. I was hopeing something more on the lines of buffing ht's and ghosts in a way to deal with infestors. Because right now if fungal does not work on all psionic units than zerg will be significantly under powered vs P.

Yeah, sorry man, Ive never heard a caster or anyone else use those terms until right now..

Ive also never heard casters use gglords or winfestors either


i first saw it in IPTL when stephano was an observer and he said GGLORDS

Is the problem really infestor or just Protoss and Terran players refusal to utilize their own casters?

A protoss will usually have 4-5 HTs against an army of 10-15 infestors and then complain about balance. The same goes with Terran players. When was the last time you saw a Terran go 10-15 ravens against a Zerg or Protoss? My bet is rarely to never, and yet nerfing the only good unit a race has to compensate for the other two races refusing to assimilate to patches is the only thing that can be done? pffffftt.

But if you think that they are really is a problem there are 2 things which don't ruin the unit completely but make them harder to utilize:

1. Fungal must be researched at 100/200

2. Fungal has a cooldown

I just love the changes atleast for tvz point of view, since I feel like this will make bio more viable for me in my level of play.

It's not impossible, it's just never tried.

Viking-raven is the perfect Terran counter for Broodlord-infestor play, but Terran players instantly scream about nerfing the infestor because their massed, tier 1, 50 min marines can't instantly win against it.

Vikings tank for the Ravens. The ravens drop 3-4 PDD to stop corrupter/infested Terran fire. Infested Terran are killed by seeker missiles and auto turrets. Vikings then kill the BLs.

Not only is it an extremely expensive gamble, if it actually works zerg will only need to tech-switch to ultras and a-attack down everything
