There are some situations you can hardly recover from: Charged Voidray hammering on your base while your infantry is far away / dead. Banshee in your mineral line 2 hitting workers while it takes another 10 secs to scan. 3-4 Pheonixes / Vikings making short work of your Overorld and can even easily take on ground units. And a lot more. Basically this stuff punishes your harder than anything else. Technically you could queue up the burrow, move to enemy base, cast fungal on mineral line, move a bit more, cast another fungal on the same spot, move back and it would do exactly that. The only problem is that you can't do anything else during that time or it would ruin it. | ||

"not imbalanced" my ass.... good thing it's beta, cuz this shit is bound to change Get some detection, problem solved. Still a fairly mediocre caster unit that is entirely too squishy. | ||

You guys are acting like this glitch makes the Infestor an invincible and undetectable monster that can do a Fungal Growth for 10000 damage while spawning Ultralisk out of the sky. The fact is that a simple Missile Turret, Observer, Photon Cannon, or Overseer can counter this. You normally already have these in the first place. If you really think this is overpowered, then you must hate DTs and Nukes. | ||

I would leave it in because NP got the crap nerfed out of it when they changed it to a 12 second spell...If it was like a 30 second spell, then fine. (I'm talking about real time). If NP wasn't so weak anymore, I would prolly take it out. -Zerg Player | ||

The problem is that the player with the spell queued up still has to sit around until you're in position, but you can choose any target along the way, and if you hold shift, you don't lose the cursor and can do multiple casts. | ||
