I don't see why you'd cast frenzy on anything but ultra (which you likely still wont build) when you can fungal. We'll see how it plays out I just think fungal is going to be the best option

are you joking?

Im sorry but i refuse to play protoss with bullshit like that, i mean lets buff terran even more?

now not only will marauders have concussive but cheap ass stim too.

blizzard takes the absolute worst possible routes in terms of balancing

you seem to not realize the horrendous statistics in TvP. Terran is being absolutely raped in this mu.

Whoa. Pretty substantial changes there- most of the changes look like they're taking the game in the right direction, but there's one change I'm immediately opposed to:

Overseer - Contaminate spell added: Costs 75 energy - Targets a single enemy structure which cannot train units or research upgrades for 30 seconds. Infested Terran spell added: Costs 125 energy - Infested Terrans have the same stats as those previously created by the Infestor and are placed directly under the Overseer when spawned.


This basically means that Zerg can continue growing past 200/200 supply, because they can train infinite Overseers which will be combat-capable units with patch 13. Not a fan of Zerg being the only race for which 200 supply isn't a hard cap on their army strength.


This is absurd. They could of done this before the patch and it's no different than mass auto-cannons for terran or infinite hallucinations to soak up dmg for protoss.

With the difference being that more auto-cannons requires more ravens which requires more supply, and more hallucinations requires more sentries which requires more supply. Overseers cost no supply, and you can therefore keep on getting as many infested terrans as minerals and gas allow.


I suppose the only real situation where I feel this would matter is one where someone takes half hte map and turtles. In theory they should be putting pressure on the zerg that would make spending money on mass overseers foolish. The only situation where this can be beneficial is one where you have no pressure to replace your army and have a significant amount of built up money (so a high money map).

Thinking more about it this will probably be abused badly at some point. Would make Flash-type turtling more difficult but without swarm maybe zerg needs something like this.

Edit: Question concerning broodlords... I wonder if you frenzy a BL does it also buff any broodlings created by that unit? This is similar to the concern about if frenzy increases spell dmg. Will be interesting to see if this works this way (prob yes on spells and no on summoned units im thinking).

And we all know how good infested terrans are. Seriously you'd need to spend at least 500 in gas on overseers and save up a ton of energy before you can even begin to do some light harass with infested terrans. The corruption thing on the other hand seems broke to me and they should just give it back to the corrupter. All the 25% stuff is stupid and it feels like I'm playing magic.

Calling it right now: Infested Terran for 125 energy is way too good. Will have to be nerfed in the future.

Blizzard obviously though terran mech build was overpowered and decided to buff terran infantry to compensate.


Hahaha my thoughts exactly. I'm quite disappointed though, they keep saying a unit will do "x" job and try to give it multiple roles making it fail at original said "x". Ultralisk tank/buffs? I have my hydras/Broodlords/Festors in the back doing more than enough DPS I don't need a 450 hp situational unit which isn't even cost effective as a tank as opposed to Roaches in most scenarios.

Ultralisks will still not be built, at all.

What armoured units are there that ultralisks will now counter?
Marauders will tear them apart even easier then before, and so will immortals
Thors still tear ultras a new one, and 250mm cannon now 1-shots ultras
Mass stalkers is the only thing I can think of, and that's only if you can get a good FG off on them to prevent them from just blink-kiting you.

Frenzy states it makes the unit immune to stuns, snares, and mind controls, what does this include? Also, frenzy appears to be tailer made to be used on ultralisks, so lets look at how it can be used there.
Fungal growth + neural parasite
marauder slow + 250mm cannon stun
If you are at the point of making ultras in a zvz you are either about to get run over, or have already won
Ultras are already immune t marauder slow, and 250mm cannon will 1-shot any unit in the game now anyways, so the stun of it is just a bonus.

The only use I can find for ultralisks is countering a pure gateway army of protoss, otherwise they are as completely useless now as they were pre-patch.

The 1 singular change that will effect zerg gameplay in any major way is the corruption ability added to the overseer, this will mean some very fun use of overseer harassment, by blocking worker production, or key unit production.
Terran scouts you going mass hydra? block his tech-labbed factory, making the tech swap to broodlords? shut down the starports.

Keeping 3-5 overseers around to continually do this will force any opponents to over-compensate on their AA, while you power a ground army.
I don't really see infested terrans being used, as they are far too slow to catch workers, meaning it would take 4 overseers worth of them to get 1-2 worker kills before any competant player pulls the workers away.

When i read the Bio Buffs as a terran player i can say im happy
The void ray nerf seems kinda of needed but i feel sad for the toss players tho

The zerg finaly got rid of that shit spell spawn infested terran on Infestors but it seems to me like they should of given the infestor contaminate and the over seer frenzy IMO.

One thing im dying to know is how do i use the map editor?

I really wish they re-buffed roaches, but oh well. We will see how zerg plays out. When is this patch getting released? I want to start getting used to the changes asap.

what? its still easily the worst skill on the overlord.

You should be using corrupt (or whatever its called now) as often as possible. Even better, put an overlord in your Mutalisk group and corrupt any turret you see, then go to town on their miners.

I really really want to see how the game will play out on larger maps with a rush distance of greater than 30 seconds, room to maneuver an army to flank from more than 90 degrees away, and chokes that will allow stuff like forge FE. The ability to publish our own maps rather than the small little arenas Blizzard gives us by default will hopefully be the best change to the game yet.

corruption no longer shuts down static defences, it just stops production/upgrades.

Nowhere in the patch notes does it say that contaminate shuts down static defense. The old corrupt ability did, but this is probably the one notable difference.

I think collectively, Zerg just has more ability to shut down terran play with harass. Using overseers to stop thor production may be very important in z vs mech games.
