Great how you give advice as if you were knowing wtf you're talking about when you can't even NP a dropship that has a cargo. | ||

There's a few reasons for this. First of all the spell is so got damn visible, you get a phat juicy tentacle going from the controlled unit to the easily targeted large and super squishy infestor. This creates a situation where if the opponent pays attention to the battle, you need to match his number of units with your number of infestors, or else you get what I'll call the infestor domino effect, where when the first infestor dies all the others follow to very simple target fire. Basically the problem is that the infestor is a very very squishy unit for its cost and tech investment. It's just all around a very poor spell, to heavy of an investment which relies on perfect positioning and an opponent that isn't paying attention. | ||

You have to consider the stage of the game though. While NP is still very viable, any late game tech path can handle a couple of infestors. Collosi/Tanks/Air units have the range, ghosts can emp or snipe (both 10 range, 2 snipes will kill), templar can feedback (range 9, will kill instantly if they have enough energy for NP) | ||

You're an idiot if you think NP isn't useful because the infestor "might" die. You could take that same argument for just about any unit in the game. That's like saying zerglings are a joke because hellions rape them. | ||
