They definitely need to do something better with the infestor though, I love that zerg reaver. | ||

A spell disabling a single enemy unit or potentially saving a unit of your own has so little impact on the game, then when weighted against how much multitasking it needs (even with the autocast) it becomes futile really quick. This is especially true for Zerg. | ||

Some things just don't make sense unfortunately. Infestors pulling Colossus/es towards their own forces is a very, very bad idea without the right manpower (zergpower) or situation. Some good micro on a surviving Colossus could see them escape up a cliff depending on the location. | ||

Infested Terran should be replaced by 'Parasite' - A new parasite though, that is a mix of the SC1 Broodling and Parasite spell. Parasite 50 energy Infest the unit with a parasite. When the infested unit dies, four broodling spawn from the corpse. This will feel a lot more authentic than the current 'spawn infested terran' spell. It will also allow for different grades of micro. The player that sends the parasite unit to the back won't risk having the broodling explode inside his army. He can also decide to kill the unit and clean off the broodlings in a safe location. You will see situation where a few marines are infested before a battle. When the battle happens and they are killed, the battle field explodes with broodlings and it all becomes very chaotic. The issue is that it would ressemble be much alike the broodlord. Edit: Cool thing to do would be to Parasite banelings before sending them to attack. | ||

 One of the most fun abilities to use. I think it would be awsome - Would be especially useful when either picking off or saving expensive units like an ultra at low HP or picking off thors when they're turtling one by one. | ||

An even better idea is giving what I just said to NP -_- On April 20 2010 14:38 frequency wrote: If it yells "Get over here!" when it does it then I'm all for it.
