Infested terran ability should cost 50 energy, spawns 5 infested terran eggs with a short spawn time but has to be used on a hatchery (or higher) just like spawn larvae. | ||

And it's not stupid as hell. To everyone saying that it's a tard anti air, I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't mean AA reasonably anywhere later in the game, just early on to defend those quick air rushes (banshee/voidray) that end the game so damn early often times. The queen vs any of those early units is reasonably close to begin with, so not a whole lot more is needed to tip the balance. Beyond that timing, zerg will have the proper AA ready. One less stupid rush to worry about opens the game length to something longer and more interesting. | ||

What is great is that transfusion on infestors is more of a buff to Ultras than anything else, since they are one of the only zerg units that really has enough hp to justify its use(and you never have your queens with your army), and Ultras just don't get enough use (because they are awesome!) Spawn infested terran as well is an ability that is only useful early game, when you have a queen and not infestors. | ||

personaly i like the whole creep tumor stuff about the queen much more so why not just get rid of infested terrans and give the queen an ability to spawn some kind of tiny spine/sporecrawler on creep? their duration should be limited and all other stats should be balanced about some kind of weak/cheap early defense which cost quit a bit of energy (50 sounds right) so you have to make the decision between pumping larva or defending. beside that the idea of granting infestors the transfusion ability with a smal AOE range is brilliant. this would make it again an support casting unit which can do more than cast one fungual growth and than die -.- | ||

Sidetrack: I'm not sure of this, but do Zerg units heal faster on creep, too (aside from moving faster)? | ||

I was already sold on the idea when I thought it was only about moving Transfusion to the Infestor. Transfusion and Ultras, let the micro fanatics go crazy. Moving Infested Terran to the Queen makes it even better. Void Ray sometimes seems too much "I win" (Maybe only on my non-beta playing paper). If you haven't scouted Toss you need to make units to stop some 2 gate rush. But at the same time you need to tech to lair ASAP. Has someone suggested this on the Beta forums yet? | ||

I think Blizzard should balance Psi Storm so that a Zerg who doesn't dodge then transfusion gets punished. (and a Terran who carelessly stims gets punished) | ||

As it stands, 1 banshee > 1 queen and I think that makes sense given their cost and how much T has to sacrifice to fast tech to banshees. What is the motivation behind this change? More fun or because it's fixing something? I'm all for this change if the queen's air attack is removed. shouldn't 1 banshee > 1 queen 1 infested terran ? making 2 infested would already use up 50 energy which is pretty significant, is it not? | ||
