But now you don't have to worry about losing your few phoenixes if you just started building a few as a reaction to a sudden mass of mutas. | ||

So NP could (theorycraft) be a useful drop-protection. well if the units inside die if you simply NP the medivac, that has to be a bug... but its would still be drop protection in the sense that a NP'ed medivac can be moved say right under a small bucket of hydras... release and boom! all units inside is lost | ||

It kind of also requires a reactive change to the corruptor imo. A good balance to me would be to give the corruptor attack a similar debuff effect to the devourer of BW. Something cool to me would be to have the animation shoot a unit-like projectile that sticks to the target like the devourer's acid spores, slowing the target's firing rate for a few seconds. You would have to hit it again to stack the effect. It would make sense, cutting into the muta numbers for anti-air protection, and would take skill to "catch" the Pheonix cluster with a few volleys, perhaps necessitating splitting up your air forces into two balls. I don't mind the Pheonix being the most badass single non-massive air unit in the game, if its cost prohibits abusively massing them with no consequence. It then would take skill and micro to outmaneuver the muta force which would always be larger. I think with some tooling, this change can create a lot of depth of tension in PvZ. | ||

I don't know if that would make them overpowered, but that would make those abilities actually fun to use. It would probably make them overpowered, but I agree. The new corruption ability is pretty much only useful on massive units now. They counter battle cruisers even more now.They nerf all other abilities "in the name of ultralisk". They say they want to do the same for battle cruisers, but in the same patch they screw them over even more  | ||

The only way now it seems to break NP is to kill the infestor, the mind controled unit or move the controled unit outside of the spell range of the infestor which is now rendered imobile during the duration of the controled units limited life. (If this has already be discussed then sorry for missing it but I did a bit of looking and couldn't find any word on it.) it was in this way also before the patch -.- | ||

So far, my experience has not been good. I am going to have to find some kind of readjustment to my early play against zerg. | ||

I am pretty sure I am not making this up. | ||

Lalush, I'll pay you 50$ if you write an article that explains in detail why Lurkers should be put back into the game and Marauders removed. Who is with me? | ||

So far, my experience has not been good. I am going to have to find some kind of readjustment to my early play against zerg. In most maps you can still stall for a decent amount of time with Force Fields on your ramp, or just plain split them in two. Maps like Scrap Station and Kulas could be a problem since you need 2+ FFs to hold them out. It surprised me that the Roach Rush didn't see a reemergence last patch, after the Immortal build time increase. That was the real kicker. Previously it was barely possible to have an Immortal out when the Roaches were already in your base about to kill Probes, on a map like Scrap. With 15s extra wait time they could do some serious damage. Trying to hold off Roaches with just a standard Gateway force while teching is pretty tough. | ||
