Well to be fair, when that happens it's usually due to a complete lack of spreading by terran. Getting that many marines fungaled in place by one fungal is simply unacceptable.

I know but like,

Watching an entire end -game battle come down to not even an engagement but just... "hey a fungal landed, now that entire pack of units is dead and there is nothing you can do about it" is really...Not fun to watch. It's just a mechanic that shouldn't be in the game.

This is really true. Even in BW, plagues did a FUCKTON of dmg but it never froze u in place. Fungals do seem a bit unfair :/

This is a solid discussion, but it's totally irrelevant to that game. If those were plagues/storms the same thing would've happened - the entire fucking marine ball got hit (by three fungals). There are times to bitch about fungal but that isn't really one of them; the game was decided whether it rooted or not.

Appreciating that Golden pulled that off (because there was more to that than most spellcasting in SC2) would be more appropriate.

I wouldn't quite say it is irrelevant to the game. Imagine all those marines that were funglaed last game. What killed all of them off? It was because they were froze in place that Golden could keep throwing fungals on top of the already fungaled marines because they were just frozen there. In BW, u plague a group of marines, but T could micro them back, and not lose them all to just spells

Exactly. TOo many people are missing the point of the whole discussion.

When you land a storm, you can do something about it, you can eat it, you can dodge it, you can try and juke it out you can do lots of things.

When you land a fungal, you just ignore those units cause 100% there is not a thing you can do. Nothing at all. Those units will die and you don't have a choice in the matter.

Stuff like that, SHOULD NOT be in the game. Nothing should be an absolute.

The biggest problem with Fungal is that it removes micro mechanics from the game rather than add to them.

Didn't Stasis Field and Lockdown do this as well?

Those didn't do damage.

Did you read the post that I quoted? People are complaining about them removing micro mechanics.

Marines would be so insane vs late tech of zerg if you remove the fungal stun and only keep the damage. Though i do agree in a way, it's difficult to say what should replace it on balance prespective.

And you can't attack the units either

Lockdowned units could be attacked......

Anyways take the fungal discussion to the balance discussion thread. Fungal isn't really that bad if you don't let your whole army get hit.

If half of your army was Stasis'd you were pretty much in a terrible situation anyways.
