The point of Fungal was to hold the phoenix so your muta/hydra could come and kill them 4 seconds is so short that unless you have 2-3 full energy infestors they will fly again.. | ||

And if you're going Infestors instead of Mutalisks, how would you even stop serious Raven harass? Sporecrawlers like a boss? Ravens still need to cast the PDD before it hits, its not like the existance of a raven will make it that the fungal growth will never reach its target again. Then again, why am I as zerg complaining about a terran unit that costs 150 gas to counter a zerg unit that costs 150 gas? It doesn't matter that for its cost the raven is about as useful as a ghost in ZvT. Why would anyone get a raven in ZvT as it is right now? To PDD mutalisk shots or to use the HSM that I've heard the only unit that gets hit by it in a chase is a queen off of creep? Infact, Infested terrans can still shoot at ravens and the only time I even fear it is when I have burrowed banelings or when they are en-masse and dropping a million auto-turrets around my expansion. I'm not saying buff the raven the unit sucks, all I'm saying is that it adds another layer of engagement for the terran and something to consider as zerg. | ||

Decreasing stun time and changing Funal to a projectile attack seems to make it more skill based spell, which should greatly reward players who are able to take advantage of its buffs effectively. Fungal may be slightly more difficult to cast, but the buffs should make it a rewarding spell for all matchups, especially ZvP. | ||

Bad form to quote myself but I just realized that mutalisks in ZvZ are going to be a pain in the ass to fungal :o Mutas in ZvZ were damn near useless because the instant cast + 8 sec stun allowed hydras to absolutely demolish them with no losses. I wonder if we'll see some gosu muta control evading fungals now. | ||

Sounds like fun.  | ||

ZvP got up to no love in my opinion: The immortal HT BlinkStalker build wont be as viable as it used to be, but the vray colossi build is still gonna be a pain in the ass. Where's the corrutpor damage/range buff? ZvZ might even be better now - mutas should now be very viable, since you can't just fungal twice in a row and kill everything with 6 hydras or something. I'm very happy with these changes. The only thing disappointing is the corruptor thing, everything else is great. | ||

Stim research time and bunker build time both got increased and fungal got a buff - ZvT should be pretty balanced now. The only thing that will still be op is the SCV marine all-in, but the only thing that is able to balance this issue is bigger maps.

It's kinda funny when people say the new FG will help against blink stalkers, when the real problem of this MU is the dreaded collossi-VR-Stalkers-Sentry balls. and nothing in the new patch helps against this composition. | ||

However, once you do catch the fast moving unit, it takes much less time to chain fungal things to death. You can fungal, count to three, fungal again then burrow your infestor. This means much less attention will be needed, which is nice. In terms of big battles, I think the fungal + baneling combo will be weakened, as the amount of time enemy units are rooted into place is less. However, I think the ling/infestor combo will be much stronger. I had previously learned to wait a bit after a fungal before charging my lings in, so that the damage can soak in. Now, I can charge in right away, giving my opponent less time to respond. As his units die a bit faster, my own units would die a bit slower, and overall this could tilt many battles the other way. | ||
