^Yes, but Waise, you (and others) don't speak for everyone, so saying "We all had the same opinion isn't accurate for ALL Europeans, which is how you act on the matter.

Well, you cant blame that all on voidrays, but anyone has to be an outright fool to not agree with the fact that voidrays are really strong.
They aren't just strong because of more damage since WoL, but because of the fact that voidrays are currently the only air units that don't require any micro skills whatsoever, making them insanely easy to use. Naniwa had DECENT force fields, but nothing that impressive honestly, especially considering that he only had to micro the sentries.
Naniwa didn't play that much better, and if voidrays were "fixed" it would certainly be a lot closer.
TL:DR
Void rays are strong, mostly because they don't require any micro. Obvious solution is to bring back flux vanes. :p It's hard for voids to require micro because they're slow air units, same as tempests or broods or corruptors or vikings or BCs. Vikings require a lot more micro, because they are created as a fragile unit that dies very easily. Corrupters, due to the units the other races have, are required to always be split quite a lot, tempest needs a lot of micro due to being so expensive, and to utilize their long range. Broods requires you to micro really well with other units to support them. BCs might be the same, they probably need some changes as well. What's the difference in corruptors having to split and vrs having to split? Just building the damn infestors .
ZvP for example, there is way more aoe dmg on the protoss side than Z, fungal growth is a very low dmg ability. If you get the perfect fungal, and somehow the P is stupid enough to not counter the infestors to avoid a full lock-down then sure. But if you don't split corrupters they maybe die in just a matter of seconds to storm, archons, stalkers and such.

The best thing about the void rays is that you don't have to target fire, they will kill the hydras first anyway. As soon as you see them targeting a roach, just activate them.
I don't think Tefel is reacting to this build in a good way, infestors would at least twice as good. I think people overestimate infestors for that. Fungal has been nerfed by 10damage vs armored and infestors are really expensive in the midgame. He would get at most 10infestors instead of the 30hydras he was working with. Imo, the way to go against this style is either blindcounter the third with an allin or sit on 4bases forever with hydra/viper/swarmhost/statics. Edit: fungal is still good vs void rays, but it's not affordable to deal with them in the midgame. You underestimate it. You don't need 10 infestors. You only use them for fungal, ITs are useless. Voidrays stack a loooot - sure he could split them, but lets be honest, nobody really does. Even having just 2 infestors, pinning them and dealing 50-60 dmg (since people generally overlap the fungals) to ALL of them is hugely significant. A pure hydra army won't do the job I don't think you should base your strategy on your opponent playing shit. Naniwa scouted a lot. Had he seen infestors, he would have surely presplit his army. That's a bit unrealistic. That's like saying, "don't ever go for templars in PvT, the terran is good, he will split his bio." Just look at the numbers... Tefel had ~30hydralisks. Now if he goes infestors as well he immidiatly misses 5 of them (infestation pit + energy upgrade) for the tech and 3 for each infestor he builds due to the gas being the limiting factor. The remaining army will be mostly zerglings with 10 hydras and 5 infestors. That's simply not enough. You don't have to be split perfectly, just having an arc in which not more than 5 voidrays get fungaled at once (there are only 5fungals) will be enough to hold. Sure, but that assumes he stays on 3 bases and attacks with that army instead of having a good economy and attacking in open areas. well, if he doesn't attack at that timing it will be a completely different thing. Then he has to consider how to beat Protoss in the lategame when Templars and Colossi are out. Which leads me back to what I was saying. He should go 4base swarmhost turtle, because that's the only style that works against a Protoss in full force in the lategame if he has voidrays or immortals to shut down ultras.
Nani couldn't go Colo with that much of his supply tied up in void rays. He'd have to sacrifice units and have a few minutes committed to make the switch, more than enough for zerg to react. Swarm host turtle is good against just about everything, but that doesn't mean it's the only thing good against anything.

OK, maybe you weren't saying that, so I'm sorry, but some people on the topic were. Dropping now though.
