I don't really think so. I think that with the HUGE HP decrease and the range decrease, its gonna be easier to just kill the damn things. Before they could do all sorts of nasty shit and not even be in range of fire. But now a little focusing will make them go splat easy.

Killing the Infestor stops it right? How about using my tractor beams? | ||

They're still pretty useful especially without the 10 second thing.. Just require more intelligence about using them. They should be squishy since they're casters and when they're so far away they're a little too safe. The range is still 1 higher than fungal growth which is a very good thing to use... It just means you've gotta be more creative about pulling the thors/colossi in close I think | ||

If anything, this looks like a nerf of infestors to me. Range decrease AND hitpoint decrease is going to make it much less of a "hah, MC from a million miles away nothing you can do!" and more of a "oh he's got my <x>, time to focus fire that infestor" Battles don't last THAT long--10 seconds was usually enough that the battle would be seriously impacted by the time that was over. This also increases the viability of stealing Terran race with Zerg lol! | ||

Maybe they tested it out and realized the p will still be able to manage with this change in the other matchups. I'm not p so I can't say for sure but it will probably require more play testing. | ||

Do none of your games make it to the midgame? Nydus is very, very useful... Also you must have never fought a thor-backed army if you don't think infestors are useful Even NP'ing a single thor can dramatically change a battle's outcome | ||
