you get control of that unit so you can attack with and and walk it into your army to die? I dont understand how this would make the infestor better? taking away an okay ability? | ||

"tentacle toss" Throw target enemy/ally to target area causing X amount of damage while dealing an additional X amount of damage per unit that is effected. almost exactly like tiny/pebbles in dota/hon  great synergy with fungal growth | ||

I think they key here is the range (9) I'd totally sacrifice an infestor for an easy colossus kill (whats max energy of infestor) maybe incentive as well to upgrade infestor energy boost when they spawn for a grab + a neural parasite (neural parasite is very short ranged compared to the unit types they would want to control) | ||

it's tough to see in the thick of battle but when you hit R the infestor doesn't actually gain control of the enemy unit for about a second or so... this, combined with the relatively short range compared to the only units worth NPing makes the infestor already die almost immediately when you try to NP... so basically you get a split second, tops, of Mind Control and then the infestor is toast... at least with the tentacle grab, it would be instant, so even if the infestor dies quickly, you've still dragged the collossus/thor/etc:... to where you want it... so it's not a complete waste... as it is now... NP just basically throws away your infestor for very little gain if any... at least this would give you SOME usefulness before the infestor gets raped. i guess an easier way to solve the problem while still keeping the Mind Control would be to just have the Infestor "inhabit" its host... so basically the infestor jumps inside whatever unit it's targeting and takes control for like 30 seconds or until the unit is killed, at the end of the 30 seconds, if the unit is still alive, the infestor dies and unit control returns to normal... but if the unit dies first, the infestor could either die also or it could just plop out of the debris and scuttle away. i really like the Mind Control part of the ability, but the way it's implemented currently just makes it rather useless... unless you're really lucky or playing someone who just isn't very good. | ||

Sentries use force fields. -the zerg's force is blocked. Infestors use "tentacle grab" -grab 4 Colossi over the force field. LOL, you just got pwned by your own force fields. | ||
