HOW THE HELL are there zergs here even defending fungal?

you should be begging for the damn thing to be removed. that way you get a complete race with other areas buffed to compensate

The Medivac change is welcome, the caduceus reactor upgrade was just way too good to not require a fusion core. It also kind-of makes battlecruisers an easier transition.

...but a fungal buff? Range 10? Speed 15? that means it effectively takes 0.7 ingame seconds or like 0.5 real seconds for a max range fungal to hit it's target. (not sure about this though! Please someone correct me if I'm wrong)

0.5 seconds is a shorter reaction time than the average human being - hell I even think it's faster than everyone except the maybe top 0.02%. Now, I know that this might be intended as a threshold for people to get into GM (they have fast enough reactions to dodge fungals) but I really feel like this is only going to have a real effect on people already playing at the GM level.
For everyone else, this is basically making the fungal growth instant again which will bring back the mass-infestor playstyles of current WoL. : /


Well according to this link ---> http://aim400kg.ru/train/?a=pr&ln=en I have a reaction time of about 0.210 secs and I think most of us have about the same.


It's not just reacting with a single click like that test, though. The initial .2 second reaction would AT BEST be hitting the hotkey for the army that's about to get fungaled, then you have to add on extra time for actually clicking away in the proper direction. You could likely still do this all in about half a second, but that's IF you are paying attention at the time. If you are even a fraction of a second late in identifying the threat, then it's possible you get snagged even if you react as soon as YOU know the threat is coming.

Edit2: Now that I think of it, the problems with mutas in zvz was they head on strength, but rather they're potential to keep the oponent on 2 base. Hmm... How to solve that?

Remove range upgrade for hydras and give it 7 range as default. And more life. Hold the speed upgrade. Then hydra with splitting are able to defend against muta on 3 bases.

So, what we got so far:

- 80 dmg 15 range Tempest capital ship
- Viper eating Tanks alive
- MsC denying Cloakshee, Mines, 1/1/1, freeway to late-game for Protoss
- 10 range fungal lol you make mech? Broodlords.. Vikings? Fungal, fungal, fungal, fungal, fungal.. I guess I'll switch Thor's attack and shoot myself with a big cannon into head.

I give up whit Blizzard. For a while i tought sc2 might be fun again when hots comes out, but they dont seem to get the point. Infestors are boring to watch, frustrating to play against and you zerg doesnt neseccarily need to be dependent on infestors. I gues its time to play some more Dota 2.

Bwahahahahahahaaaaa!!

I take back everything positive I said after the huge patch. They still don't have a clue what they're doing.


- I don't agree that Widow Mines are too strong against things like banshees. 2 supply is not too small a sacrifice to be safer against 1-unit harassment from one angle. But even if they were, if the problem is damage against air harass, nerf damage against air, not all damage.

- The problem with 3-gate blink MC is the mothership core, not blink research duration.

- As has been said thousands of times by thousands of different people, Fungal Growth is bad for the game. If the latest nerfs against it make Zerg too weak, buff other aspects of the Zerg race, not FG.




This ^

Seriously if the FG nerf weakened Zerg too much, then buff it in other areas to make OTHER strats more viable

widow mines, ok, they wont one shot things anymore, nice....

What if fungle was a true zergy missile ? doing some instant area damages, slowing units and draining life during some seconds ? of course, fungle couldn't stack on already fungled units.
nice fungles would still be impressive to watch if landed, impressive to watch if dodged, impressive to watch when microing against banes under the slow effect. its the aoe damages zerg needs.

Seriously though. What does the community need to do, to get that bloody spell out of the game or at least changed so it does not bore the crap out of every gamer and spectator.

I think infestor 8 range projectile was fine, just need to buff hydras (for late game) and swarm host in my opinon.

Ok, ok... The fungal buff seemed totally stupid to me as everybody else. But what does it mean?
Bl inf is probably no longer viable in zvp because of toss deathball with tempest and HT. What about midgame?
Has infestors been a pain in the ass/OP in the midgame? Remember that IT are nerfed.
Im thinking that even with the fungal buff, infestors are still ok in zvp?

For zvz I hate muta wars, so I actually like the fungal buff.

For zvt? Terran still dont have anything to deal with BL inf, do they? Sad... Very sad...
How about the midgame? As I remember from WoL (havent played the last months), infestor were ok in the migame? As in not OP? They reduce the micro potential of bio, true, but is it really a big deal?

So zvt lategame is the real issue with the fungal buff? Or is there somehting else I'm missing?

Edit: forgot some words.

They probably saw they needed to extend the range, but with the slow travel time and extended range it was too easy to dodge.

Sigh. Blizzard. What are you doin. Why?

Stop. Buffing. Fungal Growth.

It's bad for the game.
It's boring to watch
It's frustrating to play and play against.
Oh but it's a projectile now!!
Great. but how does that make chainfungaling any better? How does that make it more fun too watch?

If zerg is to weak.
Buff.
Something.
Else.

You've got a cool unit, it's called the hydralisk u know. It was kind of a trademark unit in Broodwar, and it's completly bad in SC2. Buff it. Or how about mutalisks. What about the cool new viper. All of them are way more fun then the infestor.


Someone wrap this around a brick and throw it through Blizzard's front window.
A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head.

fungal is the only way for zerg to win, that's why i, like many others, think is ridiculous

a whole race based on a spell/unit

also, infestor were designed as a support unit but instead it is used as a core unit and often as a main dps unit, this is just stupid, high templars or sentries are designed and used as a support unit, you never saw 30 of them

so imo, infestor should be tweaked (or removed) so you'll end up wanting just 3-4 of them, and buff the other zerg units (hydras? swarm hosts?) so zergs can stand the midgame
