I want more then that, I want it to tell them what my opponent is doing to and make a post everytime a unit is killed, ooo maybe constant updates on my mineral and gas gathering rate too | ||

I'll admit that a single infested terran for 125 energy would be pretty useless, but the wording from blizzard is very vague thus far. 2 reasons we can be 99% sure: 1) It says the spell works same way as infestor version 2) Their reasoning post said they don't want people massing overseers-- hence why it got bumped to 125 energy not 25 energy. You'd be able to doomdrop with 0 supply units and no ventral sacs while having a 200/200 army at the front door! lol I am curious though if contamination stops normal larva production. Did the old corruption stop it, or just queen prodo/upgrades ? And injects for the matter, though I do believe injects went off anyway. | ||

Hard to appear that they aren't just moving spells around in a semi-panic to make the race more interesting. | ||

13 Gas 14 Gas Queen @ 100% Pool Roach Warren @ 100% Pool Lair @ 100% Queen Burrow upgrades (Both for Roaches and the actual Burrow) @ 100% Lair Keep an OL by the Protoss base and turn it into an Overseer, find the Robo Fac, and Contaminate it. GG P? I know it's not very elaborate, just a very basic idea that I have for a build. Immortals and Force Field are the only things that can save Protoss from a Roach attack, which are nullified by Burrow and Contaminate. Meh, I guess it counters any Protoss attempts to counter Roaches. | ||

The terran players have a win/loss ratio about the same as every other race, and its not exactly like terran players are dominating tournaments. The 'major buff' to terran does nothing besides perhaps giving terran a slightly more powerful rush, and more importantly, facilitates transitions better. Do you have any idea how annoying it was to transition into a mid-game terran army before, and start pumping medivacs, doing the upgrades, and still doing actual unit upgrades in the ebay? Obviously not, because doing any of this stalled your production so badly it was ridiculous. The upgrades still take the same time to research, 50/50 cheaper each is not a major buff imo. Im gonna assume youre a terran player, you do realise terran has had like no nerfs in any patch right? Zerg/Protoss have been getting nerfed to hell while terran is constantly given buffs except the one time they made marauders slow cost 50/50 and take no time to finish, not like youd be pushing out before its done anyway. | ||

Making it 25 energy again though would be a mistake, as then overseers would be spammed just for this ability. Making it 75 energy would probably be good, so you can get 2 off, and have energy for a changling still (from a full overseer, which admitedly shouldn't happen) | ||

I just dont understand what Blizzard is thinking with these last few patches. I thought the game was pretty much balanced after patch 11? Now it seems like Blizzard makes changes that are bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. Chagnes should be getting smaller. | ||

Actually a cool terran implementation would be dropping one in range of a siege mode tank too close to their own mineral line to cause friendly splash damage. How great would that be?! lol | ||

For Mutalisks, by comparison, you'd need 14 mutas (1400,1400) to down a command center in the same amount of time. Not saying its viable, but there are the numbers for you. It does seem like they will be worthwhile for building harassment considering the low risk involved. *I'm using the wiki's 20second lifespan not 15 seconds. | ||
