Because infestor is a midgame/T2 caster not a lategame/T3 caster like Viper. So Viper+hydra are supposed to fill up its AA+support roles in lategame. Not that you're not supposed to use infestors in the lategame, but there are other units now so its role can be phased out a bit. | ||

I'm actually considering if this is all a cruel joke from Blizzard or a dream that the community will awake from, though it is true that we've been shoving them actual statistics for a year now despite their magical PR "everything is balanced" magical numbers. Or maybe a corrupt CEO was assassinated. Who knows. | ||

Hence their speed buff so you can harrass more. Also, ultralisk with 35 splash to marines will destroy bio without the upgraded medivac. I agree. Although there are situations where you won't be able to use Mutas to clean drops anymore. But what I mean is.... Bio was already an army that is much more efficient than anything else, but dies to splash damage. Now it is even more efficient again non splash damage armies... But they also want us to use Infestors less? That's... Not gonna happen. If anything infestors just got even more important. And Mutas more cheesy and situational. | ||

I'm very surprised and impressed with how well Blizzard was able to reassign roles to Protoss air units. They are all different in many ways. It's not as simple as Unit A for ground, Unit B for light air, Unit C for armored air for example, which is awesome. | ||

The Raven can fly away while HSM is charging, unlike the BC, and I don't think it requires research (still need to verify). | ||

I think the aim is to continue using infestors as normal in the mid game, but they arent as strong in the late, hence the infested terran nerf and range nerf (although I disagree with the non-upgradable Infested Terran nerf). Also, dont forget that you will be able to hold off bio pushes with swarm hosts support as well (aka free units). So the role of the infestor has been kind of split into the Swarm host and the actual infestor itself. It still translates into the late game, but Zerg will now need extra support from vipers etc. It's basically like this: Infestor in Wing of Liberty = Viper, Swarm Host and Infestor in Heart of the Swarm, as far as roles and utility are concerned. | ||

I think that change will come. They've talked of buffing carriers on multiple occasions and said they saw nony's video. | ||

PDD > Fungal now. Iiiiiinteresting. Seeker missile doesn't need upgrades. Iiiiinteresting. Seeker missile range 10. IIIInteresting. 300 single target damage. Iiiiinteresting. This will make ravens rather popular in the lategame now me thinks. Though, i'd rather have kept the old style missile, old damage, aoe, slow and dodgable, just with 10 range. The new one seems to be making battlecruisers completely and entirely pointless. | ||

Especially with the tempest having +damage to massive air, and zerg having viper don't see a reason to ever get BC's. But that's not a terrible thing. It's not like BC's are that interesting anyways. | ||
