Really glad to see the infestor cahnges. I am hoping that it gets used a lot throughout of HotS, because I don't think we got to see enough of it in Wings of Liberty.

Interesting change to the medivac upgrade. Maybe they could make battlecruisers useful so getting the Fusion Core might not be completely useless except for one upgrade.
Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.

So widow mines don't kill Protoss units anymore? Seems dumb.

Can't we just take away the widow mine's AA attack and just make them really strong vs ground? That gives widow mines a solid role but still lets players use drops, mutas, oracles etc without rolling the dice on having their precious harassment unit get 1-shotted by an invisible turret.


If you remove air attack from Widow Mines it is basicly just a Siege Tank.

Eh I wish they had just buffed hydras instead of re buffing infestors.

It honestly still feels like there's no better choice for zerg than to go the infestor tech path.

We'll see though. Could just totally be Blizzard experimenting and they'll revert it again later if the data points that way accordingly

ofcourse zerg gets the best end of the stick and terran gets the shaft. They could of just done an upgrade at the starport, but NOOOOO fusion core then research upgrade.

Blizzard loves Zerg!

Not necessarily, it is invisble. I would think that it would still have a role since it cheap and decent map control.

And finally, Good BYE mech TvP. Clearly they dont wana fix it lol.

I wonder when they'll nerf reapers, I think that's the only thing they have left to nerf right?

Nerf fungal damage and decrease max infestor energy or increase IT energy? That way mass infestors isn't as good and we can avoid muta vs muta ZvZ if that's what Blizzard's trying to avoid..

Well they do what their community wanted: making units stronger till they are balanced. I like how the balance smartasses suffer. That happens full you go full #SAVEhots they start listening to the community, what was their worst mistake.

Yeah this is just stupid.

I think they might be competent but then they do something totally stupid and I lose faith in them again.

Well.. it's still beta, so it's normal they are trying different stuff. But even without trying it's obvious that infestor change is too much. Hope it will be changed at the next patch, but it's Xmas and NY time, so it will take a while...

Somebody said David Kim was smart... YEAH SMART MY ASS

SC2 community have been complaining about infestors balance for over a year (of couse except al zergies). But now they rebuffed them in HotS? Reverse changes? Circle changes? wtf is going on, someone tell me please

I relly like the change to the medivac upgrade, maybe they should put the upgrade in the fusion core instead of just needing one.

I do understand the blink nerv. You don't need an observer any more to blink on high ground becouse of the mothership core.

The fungle buff is kinda expected they nerved infestors to much. But i think it is to much of a buff, what cast in the game has a range of 10? I think the missle speed buff would have been enough.
