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). | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

The old corrupt ability did, but this is probably the one notable difference. | ||
