Yup, I don't like the idea that it's the only spell that can catch you off guard that you can do nothing about. Forcefields are pretty hard to deal with but you can deal with them. Storms are dodgeable, even if you dont react quickly you can save units.

So pre-positioning and preventative play are bad now? I don't like that "removes micro mechanics from the game" at all. Why have way points? Why allow units to be grouped, wouldn't it be better to force singular control every time? You can take that opinion and push it to the absurd, and the only way you curtail it is to make arbitrary cutoffs.

Speaking as a terran player--I would definitely prefer either the previous version of fungal (8 seconds instead of 4 seconds reducing the dps without having to nerf the spell. It would work better as a slow effect, and the damage wouldn't be so rapid that you have a chance to reinforce.

Yes but not only doe sit remove micro, it kills the units as well. You don't have any option to save the units once it's been cast.
With lockdown/statis cell you can reinforce or draw back or something. With fungal those units are going to die no matter what you do.
